for got to mention just a couple of recommended mods from me,are the clutch play fix,a short shifter,and some cable bushings...with these easy mods,ill make driving much more enjoyable

bcp06tc

oh im definitely going to do a short shifter, ive done a little research and i think the twm stage two would be the shifter for me. Is that clutch play fix in the DIY section? i thought i saw something like that. and what kind of cable bushing would you recommend?

there is a thread some where on the clutch delay fix....theres so many different methods on doing it,i came up with my own, i basically bought a pack of super sliders from lowes....and stuck one on the metal part that engages the switch,then another one on the bumper stop..i didnt think it would work,but it was perfect,no drilling or anything cheap $5 mod...it makes a huge difference,smoother shifting without slamming the clutch top the floor..i can go through gears alot quicker,cause less time that i need to push on the clutch,cause its right there...not to sensitive but not to slow

check out this thread.....the last post is me on how i did it,but theres tons of other methods on how others did it,but what i did takes like then 2 mins very simple

i have doc I cables bushings,made a huge difference also,made the shifter tighter and more precise,but i have the b&m short shifter,upgraded from the trd which was ok...

Few recommendations, buy a distribution block that sits on the battery. I have 3 amps a compressor and my normal positive terminal all running to the battery... standard terminals SUCK and on toyotas we run a lot more off the battery then people realize, Car idling like ____? It's probably not because of an engine issue or the alternator... I used to have issues when I had 2 amps, (1500 watts rms) and my car would idle at about 500 rpms or stall sometimes depending... would restart and everything was fine. Go to Bestbuy or any place and buy a horizontal distribution block and replace it. Runs great and I've got a ton of power in the car... no loose terminals anymore.

Second piece of advice LOWER THE CAR, I hated mine till I lowered the car the first time, dug it then got tired of it. Got a quarter of an inch off the ground well motor swap transmission and custom boost are coming in soon lets just say i love the car...

Finally when you are ready to lower the car get a custom exhaust... even though the TRD sounds decent swap out for headers with a decent reasonator so it doesn't sound raspy. Plain and simple if you want to drive aggressive or have something perform thats not what your looking for. it hangs low i caught mine on a frost heave or two...

LOVE THE COLOR, interior looks super clean! If you need anything yell out it's a family thing ;)

hey all, sorry i have been gone for so long... just nothing really happening with my car the last few months (winter sucks) but i have an update... i just got a carbon fiber hood and i will be posting pics as soon as i install it (should be in a couple of days) untill then this is what the hood looks like
sorry, crappy cell phone pic... will get better pics with gfs camera lol

bcp06tc

ok everyone, i just got the hood on today... thanks to the great weather we have been having... fitment was very good. here are some pics









any opinions would be greatly appreciated, i have more photos as well if anyone wants to see more, and installation was a breeze i could have done it myself but i had my buddy help id recommend getting a helper for a hood install.

bcp06tc

just an update, i ordered the tsudo mid pipe yesterday. I'm looking forward to my exhaust being louder than just the TRD. i will get pics up of the mid pipe and the installed once i receive it in the mail!.......... the drop is coming next!

Looks good so far man. I just picked up my tc in january and have been waiting out winter to drop it as well.

My roommate has a tC with the stock 17's, and I have the 18's that came on this car. There is a world of difference in regards to handling. I could never go back.

bcp06tc

i got it for $200 bucks from some guy local, he only had it on for one summer then, knocked up his fiance and decided to sell some stuff off his car since he just got a bike. I saw it and couldnt pass up the deal for such a clean hood. Originally carbon fiber stuff was at the end of my list though lol thanks though hayseed.

bcp06tc

is it maybe just because the difference in tires? cuz if 18s will help handling that much then i might look into them, i was just gonna get some nice performance tires when these ones wear out.

bcp06tc

thanks tcbreeze

sounds good man, yeah livin in NY i would for sure wait for winter to be over to drop it.... when ya do lets see some pics! what type of springs/coils you lookin at gettin?

no way im sellin the hood but i am goin more low lol

Pretty sure it is universally accepted that 18's handle better than 17's? I could be completely wrong but I think this is the case

bcp06tc

Well, I would think it would depend on width as well as weight and also what tire you are using... there are a lot of factors to look at

bcp06tc

Hey all, its been a long time since i have done any work to the TC (financial reasons i ended up selling my SC and other parts) but now im back at it and im picking up my DEZOD S1 turbo kit this weekend. I will post pics as soon as i get them! Im stoked
