SAD! To hear this paul! You can't just expect to have problems on a non turbod car, you just don't give up bro, I mean I have just as much time vested in this as you and I still think you jump the gun everytime you had a problem,you need to take problems one at a time, fix one and move on to the next,you can't deal witht this stuff emotionally. I can't believe a simple coupler caused all of your erratic decisions. I told you on the thread above to change that coupler&reset the battery to c if that helped...I personally find this hard to swallow as I have put countless hours in helping you with this,even drove out to LA to get you an new 02 sensor for 50 bucks,and just liek that it's gone....LOL....man I gotta stop wasting my time...LOL

Good luck with everything paul!!!

I did appreciate all of the help Jason, believe me I do. But I have come to a point now where I have drawn the line. I have been through a blown motor and I know how devastating of a feeling that is. The first sign of trouble on the boosted tC...I'm out.

I made that choice long ago. My parents are ____ed at me, I am ____ed at me, lots of people are ____ed at me. I don't care about any of that now. I just want to drive and have fun with out worrying about this and that and the other thing.

My car hates me and I think the feeling is mutual =/

paul! do what other paul is doing.. don't leave your scion family! just pick up another scion and keep it mild.. so we can all hang! without having to drive a mitsu.. ahem..

Mr_Meaty

That won't happen in a Geo

BrownDogg

Hahaha true that Mr Meaty!

Paul... Just don't cry when Jason, Marlon, and I pass your sti in our turboed tC's!

tcdaily

i'll be in the trailing you guys and recording..

anurok

Until we come to a turn =p

Either way...I think this is a better over all decision for me. Maybe I wont get pulled over so much in a white stock STi haha

tcdaily

well i know i'm just jealous.. haha..

[quote="anurok"]Who said you were keeping that bad boi stock!

Soulquarian

I'm prett sure when all is said and done, Jason, Alex and I will be pwning Evo's and Sti's...

Even in turns...

Mightygnu

Whoa whoa whoa there big fella... lets not get ahead of ourselves. Although I can't wait to see your guys' finished product.

BrownDogg

Marlon couldn't have said it better!

My car already handles pretty good with coilovers and strut bars and a sway bar. I havnt pushed the car to its handling limits yet because I am waiting to go through black star canyon this summer because i know my cars limits on those roads.

Mr_Meaty

I still prefer the evo to the sti...stupid top mount IC...

Yeah just keep it mild. It will save you money in the long run. Although if I could have waited longer and sold my stuff and car, I would of bought an EVO, IS350 or 250, BMW 135i, or something along those lines. I'm glad I didn't cuz I like the Scion community and most of all the tc is still one of if not my favorite looking car.

anurok

I prefer a 6sp out of the box rather than 5 since I am always on the free way =p

I can't do that. I still want something that DRIVES when I want it to. I have been through the motions of stock, NA powered, Boosted, stock again etc etc. I know what I want and it does not lie with the tC.

I don't work 4 jobs so I can save money in the long run =p

Mr_Meaty

90% of my driving is freeway, and the fact that cruizing in 5th is at 4500rpm is GREAT cause as SOON as it put a little throttle on, boost comes on!
I'd have to downshift the 6th gear.

anurok

cruising at 4500RPM = you get 18mpg on the free way haha.

I like a 6th gear cruise at 2700RPM and getting 24MPG~ I was usually never above 3500 in the tC cruising since I hit cruise control at 75ish or less...

Mr_Meaty

I'm currenlty getting 21mpg...not bad for the way I drive...i was only getting 24mpg before I boosted!

anurok

yeah, not bad. But having this car stock I won't be afraid of the police so much anymore haha.

They love to harass me =/
