2014 SC10N Series tC Build Thread "Delilah" (4/15/15)
Hey there SCION friends

2014 SCION 10 SERIES tC

2014 SCION 10 SERIES tC
#2003 of 3500
I got my 2014 10 Series TC after my last tC was totaled in a car accident december 2013. I have to admit i wasnt that big of a fan of the 2014 TC when scion anounced it, but since then its grown on me and now i own one and have to say might be one of the best TCs to come out, agressive look, smoother ride, and much quicker even with it being auto.
I'm going for Form and Function style since I show my car regularly and i like to have my car be fun to drive.

The laggy throttle drives me crazy, I'd say that my number one issue. The steering doesn't feel very communicative to me and the TCS and VCS stuff can be really invasive sometimes. I also find the car just a bit too big for certain places I drive. Overall though its a great car, its fairly sporty but it doesn't really have a sporty feel.

Dont ruin that nice car with some horrible body kit. I see its on your future mods - do yourself a favor and spend that money elsewhere.
You already have something semi-rare, I would keep it nice and clean. Skip the Takata's (unless you are racing, cuz if not its poser'ish) and exhaust heat wrap? What for? Your car is a normal car. No need to wrap it up (which there is a big debate on heat wrapping things with moisture/rain and accelerated cracking). Race teams do it because they replace it more often than you would, and I doubt your racing. Same thing with header setups. They are usually not racing in daily driving conditions either.
Skip all your bolt ons, go straight for the turbo, and leave it at - turbo, exhaust, tune and wheels. All the lights and stuff are kinda not my thing. I like the subtle stuff scion OEM did with it already, and everything else beyond that gets kinda gawdy.
Your car has great potential. Keep it clean, OEM styled, and dont go overboard with cheap mods. Once you get your turbo kit & tune, save up for a BBK for the front to help slow down all the extra power you'll have (after you get rims, or make sure the BBK clears yours). I've used stoptech's on all of my modded cars. Sorta pricey, but they work well.
Last thing: I dont know your situation, and am not asking - but I would not put too much money in a car that is not paid off, or close to it. Your car is a depreciating asset along with mods, so if your still living at home or something, you may want to pay the car down, or off before you mod it - not asking you to respond on that, just some advice from someone who has multiple (paid off) cars, and owns properties.
One question though - why did you pick a tc over the FRS, was it due to the smallness of the FRS? I would imagine the 10 series tc is the same price as the base FRS price
