Judging by how much the 5A lip kit was originally, I wouldn't be surprised if they wanted at least 2 grand for the wide body.

 

lulz...troy probably saw the new tC and was like, "wtfreak......I will try my best...sign."

 

3rd to a panel van. 2nd would be the xB2, it's c-pillar is so big it has it's own storage cutout.

For a turbo, C/R was needed to be increased so that fuel economy wasn't sruck at 20 MPG city. Sucks, but CAFE and competition are driving MPG. You can always do what us 1NZ-FE owners do, run 5-8 psi on stock C/R and if you want more just do a piston swap. Rod too since you're already in there and then you can go big without blowing the motor. Don't forget ARP studs though, head bolts suck.

 

Anyone else notice, the spare doesn't appear to be the nasty cream color anymore, or did they already change that for 08 or 09s?

 

Thanks jon, figured it'd be something I couldn't afford..

 

I like it. It looks more masculine than the previous one.

I would never want a heavy 2 door coupe though.

 

Yes, in my Z28 days their were several LTX/LSX guys running boost on engines with stock 10.5:1 compression...you just can't run much boost. Turning up the compression increases MPG while producing a little extra power Toyota would be nuts to run a 9.0:1 in these cars.

lol I remember I wanted (still do actually) a HHr SS so bad but could never find one that hadn't been beat to hell or the owner wanted over blue book value for it.

 

maybe im looking at this wrong; but is it me or does the body somewhat look like a newer body style honda?

 

i aint feeling the new tc at all, doesnt look sporty to me as the older tc's do but then again its only pictures,when it comes out and people buy them and post real pictures of videos up im sure,it might change some of our minds,but as of right now,i like my 06 tc better

 

Somewhere I read that they increased cabin size. But I noticed that the overall length of the car didn't change. My guess is they achieved that by shifting everything in the engine bay forward (notice how close the header manifold is to the radiator now? Also the battery is rotated 90 degrees and nearly physically touches the horn), moving the front seats forward a bit, and leaving the rear seats where they were, granting more legroom.


Though to be honest, the rear seat wasn't really useful for anyone over 5'2" anyway. Midgets and newborns were the only ones who thought it was comfortable.

P.S. - that is a huge airbox too. Where is the pathway to run a CAI? It looks like it goes DOWNward instead of routing to the fender area.

 

god its ugly, with a new model coming out will this make aftermarket parts for our cars cheaper?

 

Im 5'10 and I thought it was comfy in the back as long as you tilted the rear seats.

 

back seats in a 2-door like ours will always have little head space. They can either 1) create a longer roof line or 2) use bucket seats. Looks like they did both.

 

Yes, until they stop making them all together like what happened with the 1gen xB. Some parts will live on longer than others, and with more overall tC's, that should help keep things in production for a bit.

Look for super cheap dealer accessories about June of next year, if you know a friend at the dealer you may even get free stuff as they purge them from inventory. I got an alarm, rocker panel trim, pedal covers, interior lighting kit, etc. this way. They'll also probably be up as prizes at any dealer show.

 

it doesn't say AUTO on the switches, but says ALL AUTO right underneath them

 

i dont like the backend to much...

 

So, you like having plastic covering the engine? You want an engine bay that looks like this?

(I realize that it's a Lexus, easiest example I could think of.

 

No I don't want an engine BAY covered in plastic, but having the engine ITSELF covered was a nice touch in the tC1.

 

So when are we getting a forum for the tC2 like we have for the xB2?

 

and they changed the paint on the spares to black from the creme yellow for everything with the collapsed spare.
