Haven't been on here in forever, figured I am way past due on the pages. Guess its time I got some pictures on here of my Flint Mica Scion tC. Just started doing some little things here and there because I am at piece with my Blazer, it's actually being sold. So far I have hung with some cars that claim to be faster than mine, Si's and Supercharged Cobalts to name a couple. I hate people who talk about tC's being slower than other cars, if you haven't driven one keep your mouth shut. Running high 9's in the 1/8th and low 15's in the 1/4. Would like to get forced induction on this beast of a 2.4 but thats down the road a ways. Few things I have done are simple and mostly for looks, Fujita Cold Air Intake, Fidanza Short Throw, Greddy/Trust Shift Knob, Tinted Tails, Tinted 3rd Brake Light, Tinted Eyelids, CF Badgeless Grill (fake of course), TRD Badges, Painted Calipers, 10000k HID 9006 and 9005's, Xtant 2.2 and MTX 5500 for my beats.. Have a DC Sport Header and Downpipe coming, and a Apexi Cat Back System also along with some 5 spoke polished 18's. As soon as I find tires atleast. Enjoy hopefully, not too sure if anyone around here has one
Those of you worried about me hydrolocking my motor because of my intake, don't worry. AEM abv and filter bag are in the mail.
Is it practical?
I wouldn't call it practical by any means. Hatch room is minimal, box and backpack is about all that fits. As for room "up front" my seat is moved all the way back (I'm 6'2") and the only thing lounging in the back seats in a small infant. If i wanted shopping room and practicality, probably would have bought a mazda
Is it economical?
Definately not. 22mpg is the best I have been able to pull out of it. Motor is oretty large though and the gearing in 5th sucks for cruising.
Is it fun to drive?
Absolutely. Fairly quick and responsive, excessive body roll is my only complaint.
Will it break down all the time?
Very Doubtful. Even though I think overall Toyota reliability is about a 50/50 chance.
Is it easy to park?
Oh yeah
Is it green?
Partially.. Green, Blue, and Grey
Can I afford it?
$200 a month.. definately
