Straightpiped with 8k Hids, led upgrades to interior lighting, dome lights and license lights "cool white" from superbrightleds.com which i would recomment, just got tail lights tinted...what do you think??? Ideas for next mods??? New to forums here any feedback would be greatly appreciated!! Hopefully next is powdercoating rims and lowering spring installed with wheel spacers, anybody in the phoenix area would/could be helpful with????

 

Looking good. If its a manual, I HIGHLY recommend the TWM short shifter, its night and day over stock, plus its way sexier looking!

 

and nst pulley. naow!! will group buy is still up!

and welcome to the forums!

 

Great start and welcome to ScionLife!

I'm in Florida now, but moving to Phoenix the end of the month. RAar is also in the Phoenix area with a tC2, but I haven't seen him on here much lately.

As for installing the springs... It's pretty easy with a decent tool set. There are DIY videos on here that walk you through it. Otherwise, if you want to wait until October, I can probably help you one weekend. It's a 4-6 hr job if you're doing it in your driveway.

There are a couple groups that might be able to help give you insight too. I guess the Scikotics chapter there fell apart a while back, but they're trying to rebuild. There is also a club called Team Aftermath which is a Lexus/Scion/Toyota club in the Phoenix area (www.teamaftermath.com). People from both clubs seems pretty cool on the forums, but I haven't actually met any of them yet.

Maybe we can get RAar and have a tC2 meet in October! :D

 

Yea for sure, I would like to wait til then if youd be available so i didnt screw anything up, always good to learn from someone who knows and yea for sure, i would be totally up for having a meet with you guys, get something going regularly would be sickkk

 

A tWM you say? Ill have to look into that, I was checking out the trd but I see that alot from the dealership is way overpriced especially install costs! And thank you im loving the car, I just got done outting in the led dome lights and all that I got the "cool white" from superbrightleds and there sharp looking, very bright also, i highly recommend!

 

I will check it out, and thank you also!

 

how does that straight-pipe sound?!?!

 

Honestly I think it sounds pretty good :/ I know alot of people dont like the straight sound but on these cars i think it sounds mean. Even in idle it sounds very nice

 

TWM makes a great short shifter. I have it on my car and I love it. Though I wouldn't worry too much about installation on the TRD quickshifter. It's definitely something you can install yourself and is actually a lot easier (so I'm told) than the TWM one.

But as with all this stuff, find a good club and you'll have plenty of help. If you're mechanically inclined at all, or want to learn to be, you can do just about everything on this car. And if the current Phoenix clubs aren't helpful with mods, I'll set up something. I'm handy enough.

 

You can also find the TRD parts on trdsparks.com or trdsource.com (those are 2 totally different companies, but they both have the parts for the tC).

Agreed with what MightyP said, the TRD Short Shifter is a simple install, only hard part is pulling the U-Clip out but it is easy enough compared to swapping out all your springs.

 

For sure ill check some out ermulees sent me a link to team aftermath so im gonna look into that also but for sure definetly keep me in mind when you get down here and a few of us can get together!

 

Nice thanks ill check those out! Yea ill find a DIY on it and see about gettin that bad boy put in!

 

 

 

Sounds good. A lot like the videos on the Tsudo exhaust actually!

 

I added you......... This is David

 

 

Straight pipe sounds good. Still can't decide on which exhaust to run on mine.

 

Yea i was surprised how well it sounds!! I love it what were you thinkin on running?
