^Haha... I was thinking the same thing...

I used to own a tC- it was one of the original releases and the first pearl mica in my area... waited 3 mos for that damn car. It was fun and decent quality, but the milege wasn't that much better than the Z if you drove it hard. Plus the sunroof rattled like a SOB and that's why I ended up getting rid of mine.

The thing about the tC is that everyone wanted to race... now with the Z it's hard to find people willing to race. Love my Z though.

 

Major upgrade. Congrats. Welcome to the z familia.

 

After driving to work today, I have to say that I absolutely love this car and I have no idea how I put up with FWD so long.

 

Sounds like simple clutch rattle to me, mine is very minimal. If they say they'll give you a new tranny you might as well do it to justify that warranty you bought. Congrats and great choice.

So what's your first mod plan?

 

1. 3M clear bra (there aren't any chips on it yet, and I'd like to keep it that way)
2. New tint (it's not dark enough)
3. JWT popcharger (my dad had one on his '03 and I thought it was great)
4. Test pipes (the exhaust really isn't loud enough, IMO)

Probably sometime after that some HID headlights, or some new rims..

To be honest, just driving it bone stock brings a smile to my face, so I'm in no rush at all.

 

i did the same thing on may 13th 06. i bought a brand new 06 scion tc in december 05 and traded it in half a year later. what i had on the car was:

AEM CAI,
Optima redtop
Magnaflow exhaust
ADR Phantom 18x8
Toyo Proxes4 tires




i'm glad i'm now driving this

 

LOVE the TC!

 

Welcome to the forum. I drive the DB Z with the Volk Time Attacks around town, Hope to see you around.

 

welcome to the dark side

 

Heh I also just traded a TC for a 350Z on Saturday...

 

mods!! mods!!! mods!!!!!

 

Thanks everyone.. You guys have a pretty nice website here.

 

LOL... I did the same thing. I had an 05 Flint Mica Scion tC 5spd. I had done some pretty nice mods to it but just wasn't happy with the FWD. So a year and a half later I traded her in for an 06 Black 6spd 350Z. Congrats on the car man! It's a huge difference. You'll miss the back seat sometimes, until your floor it and take a corner at twice the speed of your tC, then you'll remember why you bought the Z. Good luck with the tranny issue.

 

yeah, the 008 superceedes to the 009 which is the 05 and 06 specs. so yeah youll prob get an 06 tranny.

 

My current car is about to be added to the list of traded/sold cars for 350z's

 

Dude that was one huge coffee can of an exhaust on that Scion on the first page. Wow.

 

^No worse than the HKS

 

My wife has a 06 Trd Supercharged TC. It is very fun but not as fun as driving my Z. The Scion actually gets worse gas milage than my Z!! The only thing I have to say is that toyota should of added a sixth gear on the car! Nice pix of you Scion!!

 

i made the same move as you last year. not because of the power but because of its handling characteristics. too front heavy and the brakes on it sucked.

 

Yeah, 6th gear and an LSD... too bad the SC wasn't out by the time I got rid of mine... oh well, more $$ for the Z.

Oh yeah, and the thing about the 3rd brake light pissed me off.. only the center 4" of it light up.. the rest is "reflectors"... ghetto.
