Tc-Madness07

Alright so here's the deal. Im a noob at this so be patient with me and plus im a girl so i dont know much as what guys do. I have a little over 1250 bucks to spend on my car...but the problem is...i dont know what i should spend on my car first. Iv had my tc for 8months now and its all stock. I want change to it but im not sure if i should go with performance first or appearance. Any guys when helpful tips on what to do first would be great help to me.

I would get some lowering springs and tint the windows. Then save the rest.

sigh...so many of these questions...soo little time...

first thing is somebody is going to tell you to search

next up. what do you like most in a car?

if you love music, that thousand could get you a very nice sound system from like elemental designs.

if you love tight cornering, you could get the entire trd suspension package from www.trdsparks.com

if you like an aggressive exhaust tone, get a good cold air intake and exhaust set up.

if the stock wheels don't do it for you, you could buy a nice new pari of shoes, especially if you have the blowful stock tires the car came with.

most people will say tint and suspension. guarenteed.

TRD shocks & springs combo and tint and a nice PM axel back exhaust! Save the rest.

appearance first. spring and wheehs, tint the windows is asking for a tick, cold air intake and HKS Hi Power exhaust

my opinion is that you spend more time driving your tc than looking at it. work on what makes the car more enjoyable to you than passerbyers. i say spend the money on performance, handling and ice.

as for tint, find out what the legal limit is in your state and get that. nothing the cops can do if you don't break the law. tint is a good thing to do to reduce in car heat, and headlights shining in your eyes from behind.

1250...

Tein H-Tech springs = 160
TRD rear sway + Hotchkis/TRD strut brace = 300
ARK N2 catback exhaust = 600
Takin me to dinner at Ruth's Chris = 190

total = 1250

see...perfect

1st off... you need tint.

With a 1000 bux, sign up for NASA membership ($40), sign up for a track day ($150), buy yourself a nice set of tires (~$400), save the rest on fuel, oil changes, brake changes, and more track days.

what i would do with that budget:

1) hotckis lowering springs
2) tinted windows
3) a nice subtle exhaust

thats about it, i mean you dont have to dive into your car like some do, you can just make your car look a little nicer.

definitely tint and suspension.. then save.

nitrous all the way

lowering springs or coilovers it makes the car look good and performs better. You get the best of both worlds
