This is the first car I've purchased specifically with modding in mind. Most of the more in depth build threads seem to be from the guys who've been doing this for years and are great at it. I'm not nearly as experienced, but I enjoy learning new things and figuring them out, so I hope my experiences, reviews and pictures help you when deciding how to make your tC your own unique ride.

I will upload more pictures once I figure out why it won't let me upload anything at the moment.

How are you liking that 6-speed manual?

MightyP

XerotC: I haven't decided on whether I'll take the A-pillar stickers off. I think they look okay on the gray.

kitsune: Manual transmission is smooth and easy to use. Though I have the TWM short shifter, cable bushing, and weighted shift **** on order.

Try hosting to photobucket or imageshack. More reliable.

Thanks! It sure helps having such great scenery around. All 3 pics were taken within about 200 ft of each other. Just facing a different direction.

Took a trip to Texas about a week and a half ago. tC, even on stock tires, handled the snow and ice like a champ! And while those of you in Canada are laughing at the idea of "ice" in Texas, it wasn't as bad as what you often get. Difference is, Texas has ZERO snow plows, salt or sand. And... Texans don't know how to drive on ice or in snow.

Love the scenic photos! That colour really pops in some of those! Awesome job!

Matariel

haha, love the snow pics. Welcome to my nearly-everyday life. Dirty, covered up, or dirty again.

Ugh! Thanks, but you can keep it. I like my 70-degree February days!

Did anyone else Wash there car on Sunday? How sad were you Monday when you had to drive to work and it was dirty again?

Matariel

pretty sad, but at least i got all the salt off the car. in 15-20 years, I wont have that problem in Canada anymore, after global warming gives us tropical weather, palm trees and beaches ;)
