Bralicool Frederick Maryland, US Window Washer	Hey everyone I just got a used tc 2006 and I love it, i really want to do somethings to it. But I dont know where to begin. Mostly right now I really want to buy an exaust or some black rims.. but I dont know if there is something that I should do before hand. Can someone give me a hand...I'll be happy with any possible help.

tCdreamer87 New York New York, US Scion Guru	it all depeneds on what your planing on using the tC for. in the summer its great to get attention, but u can also use it for some performence, if you want to just do a lil something to it, i say, cold air intake, exaust, drop it. some nice rims, tints is a must, and HID's that will make it look real nice and also give it a nice clean rough sound. Life is hard!! just sit back let go and let god deal with it!!

Bralicool Frederick Maryland, US Window Washer	Thanks everybody I think that will get me stared...now with the cold air intake how can I find out more about that..because I think im confusing Cold air intake with being the same as exaust.

tCdreamer87 New York New York, US Scion Guru	^^^ when you put them together it gives your engine a nice sound. but a good CAI will add about 7 to 11 HP if u conbine it with the exause your looking at an extra 15 HP or a lil more. Life is hard!! just sit back let go and let god deal with it!!

vastano1 New Hyde Park New York, US Godlike Advisor	this is the intake- the silver pipe on the right hand side...basically sucks more air into the engine increasing performance while giving off a nice growl wen u step on the gas click the link, donate some money to help improve our site/community CLICK ME TO DONATE AND HELP SQMK MAKE OUR SITE BETTER

vastano1 New Hyde Park New York, US Godlike Advisor	hope the pictures didnt make me come across as a smart ass(even tho i really am) but i was tryin to just give u a picture of wat they are... the intake will growl wen u step on the gas a bit.... the exhaust will growl from the minute you turn your car on..depending on which exhaust you get...the tone will obviously be different... click the link, donate some money to help improve our site/community CLICK ME TO DONATE AND HELP SQMK MAKE OUR SITE BETTER

Bralicool Frederick Maryland, US Window Washer	so to prevent damage to my engine should I get a exaust before geting an cold air intake. sorry for asking this... is just that I have a friend that got a supercharger for his car (mustaque) and his engine bluw up ..because he didnt make it strong enough first. so im a little worried about first things frist...you know what i mean.

Bralicool Frederick Maryland, US Window Washer	Man this has been my first hour in this club and I already love it... thank you all for the help... I already know what will be the first mod the "intake". so do you all have any sites or places you recomend me to look for the cold air intake.
[#] Mar 04, 2008 12:54am
lee_tc Minnesota, US Vehicle Designer	u guys know any more mods i can do for my tc thats out of the engine i have 1. exhaust mid pips 2. turbo so that takes the intake place 3. pully 4.? 5.? 6.?

vastano1 New Hyde Park New York, US Godlike Advisor	i have the injen intake http://hopupracing.com/incoairinsct.html this site has the best price that ive seen for it...but the injen cai in my opinion is the best for the simple fact that you can have it as a cold air intake(extends down into the fender) or as a short ram (sits in the engine bay)... and it sounds amazing click the link, donate some money to help improve our site/community CLICK ME TO DONATE AND HELP SQMK MAKE OUR SITE BETTER
