    There is no V6 in the tC :eek:

    This is at the wheels:

    The tC has very little drivetrain losses I've noticed. They say 180 hp at the crank.

    It's not necessarily "Bad" luck. I just have no middle ground in my life. Everything is either kickass amazing awesome or in the shitter.

    Like for instance, I get free shit all the time, won 40k in a lottery once, had my stocks shoot up 5 k in a month, free clothes occassionally, food. Etc.

    On the other side, lost money, been hit by cars, almost killed about once every other month, vehicles get damaged, etc. etc.

    Life goes on man, and I'm happy to have been along for the ride as long as I have. :)
    I like the style but not for me, too small a car.

    So efficient my farts would get this thing 40 Mpg.

    Combing over Scion forums currently, just discovered theres a 2nd Charcol Filter in this car too. People are debating the performance gains of getting rid of it too. So far, Agency lightweight pulley. Gotta decide on which performance S-pipe I want (The tC's version of the Tacomas Y-pipe). That lightweight flywheel looks really tempting.. more research on that required.

    Not going to go forced injection on this car though. Bought it with plans to be my boot around/ drive till it dies. I will never sell this thing.

    I've been wanting that deep blue set from you since I bought my tacoma haha. Just difficult to mod, I have no house to lay up a vehicle for a few days & it's my only set of wheels. Hence why all my mods are like heavy planned to have a 1 day completion.

    I need to learn more about your process.

    Well I'm extraordinarily mechanically inclined. Comes with being an engineer and a car enthusiast haha. I'm sure I could figure it out. I'd probably had to tear it apart and inventory whats back there first to know which lights to get.

    It'll be a job for one day fo shizzle. But with all my exams I wont have time for a looong time.

    For the scions, anything model year 2011 - 2013 will work for ya. 2014 they went into generation 2.5 and I don't think they changed the gauge cluster but not 100% on that.
