Default VuDisms Super White 2012 TC2 Daily Driver Function>Form Thread

Sorry guys. . . traded my TC




Hello all,
Name is Vu and just decided to start my build thread. Been modding cars for over a decade since I was 17. Decided to be more practical with my $$$ but modding is in my blood unfortunately. I cannot keep stuff stock. . .

Cars I've owned...
2000 Subaru Impreza 2.5RS Coupe (Swapped 2003 WRX EJ20 drivetrain). I bought the engine and tranny and wiring harness from Canada. And my friend and I took 2 months doing the swap in his garage. I did all the wiring... Which was some crazy s#!+ on its own.





2008 Subaru Impreza STI Hatchback



2007 Nissan 350z Base
2009 Toyota RAV 4 Sport V6

All sold for various reasons such as too many miles accumulated, bad gas milage, maintenance costs etc.

Now my daily driver 2012 Scion TC
More FUNCTION than form

Mods...
-Weathertech Door Visors
-TRD Springs
-TRD Swaybars
-TRD Strut Bar
-Ebay (ThePaintedSpoilerShop) M3 trunk spoiler
-Injen Cold Air Intake
-Unichip with Injen Intake MAP (93octane)
-18x9 +35 Enkei RPF1 (stock 225 tires)

FYI- the Unichip is a very legit mod. Get it!

No colored lights, no stickers, no lowering until the car handles like crap, no hella flush, no bull crap. I'm old school. This car is a Daily Driver. Get me to work. Get me to the gym. Get me home. Handles like a beast. (Coming from a guy who have owned modded STI and 350Z).

Next mods will liked be Dezod Green Header with updated Unichip MAP, 245/40 tires, window tint, under braces.

Thanks for looking...

I like that spoiler. I was thinking if the m3 spoiler too but in the end went with an eBay oem spoiler. Thanks for the input on the unichip, I was on the fence, now I might have to save up

nice ride Vu!!! For under braces look into the TB performance products. Have them on my car and the handling feels great.

Did the wheels improve the handling and acceleration on your car? Looking into getting the same wheels in black.

out of all the parts you have installed on your vehicle which one would you say has been the best upgrade in terms of functionality?

I'd say springs and sways cuz i did them at the same time. But everything I did added noticeable function to the car. Wheels definitely improved Cars acceleration and handling. Unichip def worth money. Front lip did exactly what I thought it would was increased stabilization when going 80mph+ on highway.
