Welcome, Christine! I'm the HMFIC for the New Jersey Chapter. Please take the time and add yourself to the NJ Roll Call thread: http://www.scikotics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6834

We usually have at least 1 meet per month, and there are plenty of shows coming up, since the show season's starting up again!

I'm in TR every once in a while - I have a friend that lives there. If you have any questions about modding your tC, or need help with it, feel free to let us know. I'm a tC owner myself and I've done a lot of modding!

Again - Welcome!

hey christine welcome to the site

[Christine]

thanks everyone :) i wish i had more money so i could make my car as awesome as all yours

[tCMetaLFReaK]

You can start off with a short throw shifter :D less than $100 a lot of the time.

[Christine]

thanks but mines automatic :/ unfortunately im constantly on the road so drivin a stick in traffic all the time would make me crazy lol

[tCMetaLFReaK]

hhmmmm we'll think of something to start you off and not break your wallet.

[Christine]

thanks im excited haha

[IndyTorchedPenny]

Welcome from the Indy Chapter! :cheer:

[Krdshrk]

Traffic? In TR? hah! :D Try my area... or worse... bergen county!

Christine - what kind of mods were you thinking of doing?

[BeBe2630]

:1036153111_gif: Hello, and welcome to scikotics. I'm Gley, I also have a 08 TC that I just bought this month :D. Dont worry about the mods in your car little by little you will put everything you want and we can help you. I know how to install an antenna and take off tinted windows :lol: 4 now thats all I know lol. Welcome again.:Coucou11:

[Krdshrk]

Hey - you know how to put on a sticker too, Gley :D

[triniosito]

Welcome to the site!!!!!:mro:

[Christine]

well i work in brick town n rt 70 is always a killer plus im soon goin to brookdale college so ill always be on the prkway lol TR itself isnt bad on traffic :) haha im the same as Gley tho i dont know alot about cars and wat to do but im learning alot from my bf. he drives a '98 mustang cobra n thats his life so he tries to help lol im probably gonna do visuals first and then work on performance later

[HyPnOtIk]

Welcome to Scikotics !!! :pilot:

[Krdshrk]

Pff Mustang! The tC is a whole different beast! :D

[tCMetaLFReaK]

Scion=Legos!

Easier to mod

[gReEn MaChInE]

Welcome! :DanseurBleu:

[Christine]

i was thinkin about gettin simple stuff first....like sport pedals or tc door sills but i eventually want some kinda performance parts to make it faster :)

[LiLRoN]

Welcome !!

[BeBe2630]

Hey - you know how to put on a sticker too, Gley :D


After the car show the first S on scikotics felt down :mro:. Next time I'm putting the sticker my own way, and I'm not going to lisen to others.:icon_yes:.

Christine, thats good that at least you know were to start with your car. I started mine with performance, I'm not fully done but i'm going for looks now :D. I have learned a lot too from my x b/f who has a TC too, plus he did my led swap and installed my pioneer d3 :D. thats the least a b/f can do for its girl :icon_yes:

[Christine]

lol yup i agree. i really wanted to start with performance too but unfortunately im way in over my head money wise right now :( wat kinda mods did u start out with?

[tCMetaLFReaK]

She started with a replacement tC :rofl:

[Krdshrk]

LOL... Yeah...

Sport pedals.. the Scion accessory ones just slip right over the stock pedals.... and the door sills (non lighted) just stick right on.... the lighted ones are probably tougher to do but shouldn't be that bad.

Aftermarket pedals are a little harder but still easy - mine are bolted around the existing pedals.

[Christine]

sounds easy enough :) wat you guys think about the trd exhaust scion sells? i dont know much about exhausts in general but i heard these are street legal so the bored TR cops wont give me trouble lol

[Krdshrk]

Yes - the TRD Exhaust is a dealership option so that's fine, but then again it's just an Axelback exhaust.. which means that it won't give you much in terms of power.

I have it on my car

[Christine]

thats ok tho i can always add more performance parts for power in the future....hows the sound?

[Krdshrk]

Personally I think it's the best sounding exhaust for the tC, unless you have headers... then it gets really raspy. Since I'm turboed, it sounds even better though.

[Christine]

nice. sounds good. ill add trd to my ever growing list. thanks so much

[Krdshrk]

Check out the tC section here too - lotsa good info on mods

[Christine]

i didnt even know we had that...thanks :)

[tCMetaLFReaK]

Quick and easy mod - Aftermarket shifter

[Krdshrk]

She's auto! You already said that :p

[Christine]

haha yup thanks :) sorry no shifting

[tCMetaLFReaK]

You can still replace the knob! It just unscrews!

[Christine]

really? thats awesome im doing that lol

[BeBe2630]

I just recieved right now my carbon fiber dash applique. I'm going to install it myself lol:D.
I bought my car with almost everything trd in it. It has 4 now the lowering springs, shocks, strut bar, sway bar, intake, and exhaust, the pioneer d3, razo shift knob, led swap, pedestal spoiler, and now the carbon fiber dash applique:D. I love the trd exhaust, because it makes noise but its not an annoying one. I love it, but i'm you and i'll put the lowering springs first, it makes a different not seeing the car so high. :icon_yes: Funny thing I spend 8 months with a 07 TC and had almost nothing compare to this one in 1 month.:mro:

[Christine]

haha that all sounds so awesome! you gotta put up pics wen ur done. i wanna see it all. and im so glad to hear about the exhaust. i wanted to avoid that annoying sound so im definitely goin for the trd one

[BeBe2630]

Yey I'm done and I did it myself:D. I just gotta change shift knob for the rs4 tc shift knob, for it to look nice.:Banane03:

[tCMetaLFReaK]

[Christine]

[BeBe2630]

o and gley...how did u get ur clock to be black in the background with red numbers n symbols? that looks really cool

My x did it 4 me. He does Led Swap, and I wanted something different from my old car to this one :mro:. I bought a reverse film for the clock and even though it was his first time putting the film he did a good job. I give him that :icon_yes:

[Christine]

lol yes he did. i really like the way that looks :)

[BeBe2630]

He still has to finish my led swap, its half way done :mrb:. I'll put the pictures later on, from before and after. Even though I used to love my old led swap.

[Christine]

ok cool i cant wait to see!
