you can get the tC from Scion.
there will be a TRD SC for it coming out sometime soon.
with the charger supposed to put out 200-220 hp.

the xB actualy drives a lot like a miata, while it doesnt handle quite the same, the low weight (~2500lbs) with the 80-90 or so WHP makes it much like a miata, and so i would think a well matched supercharger or turbo would work well with it...giving the car that extra low end punch

TRD is a huge ripoff.. i wouldnt be surprised if the supercharger was up around 4-5k. Everytime i have bought parts from TRD i have paid much more then i could have if i would have waited a few months for other comapnies to make parts. The only two good thing about TRD is everything is bolt on and if you have the part installed by a toyota dealer it wont void the warranty, it will actually be covered under the warranty with the rest of the car. At least thats how it was 2 years ago when i first started buying parts from TRD.

their are a few toyota dealerships who will give you awesome deals on trd stuff(one in washington and one in texas), sometimes even stuff your not "suppose" to be able to get. best thing to do is email or call a toyota atlantic team or try to become buddy buddy with someone involved with trd and reep the benefits by having them order your partsw for you.

this can be a huge hassle so it might not be the best option for some people.

anyhow...yah the tc looks sweet and i would definetly like to get one

my fav is still the xb....

also, part of the reason for the higher cost is they spend more time making sure that everything works together with the new and old parts so its like factory

**chriswellner** · 07-27-2004, 02:06 PM

is the xB the short bus?
or the other roller skate thing?

**KYLiquid** · 07-27-2004, 02:26 PM

lol haha what the hell

xB is the box one, xA is the rounded hatch, and the tC is the coupe

**chriswellner** · 07-27-2004, 02:28 PM

oh ok.
its still slow.

**Diego** · 07-27-2004, 05:56 PM

i don't think they were made for speed buddy.

**chriswellner** · 07-27-2004, 05:59 PM

then why build it?

**Diego** · 07-27-2004, 06:14 PM

economical purposes. plus it's relatively inexpensive.

**elballoonrat** · 07-27-2004, 07:54 PM

from my experience the s/c toyota motors are ALWAYS fun to drive, who gives a **** wether your car is gonna beat the pimped out sr20 with a $3000 too expensive hks piece of **** turbo kit. i'd rather drive the tc, do some weight reduction, nice brakes if stock isnt sufficent, adjustable suspension and a lsd and make the car a ball to drive to and from work and on the weekends
