The interiors in Scions can feel a little cheaply made compared to a Toyota. Second, most Scion parts are actually Toyota parts anyway. First of all, Toyota is a very reputable manufacturer that takes very good care of its customers, so they will not simply drop all Scion parts. You should have no problems finding both OEM and aftermarket parts for any Scion product for many years to come. More than a decade ago, Scion was created to attract young buyers into the Toyota fold with inexpensive small cars and no-haggle pricing. If i want to go fast i just take my bike to the track.A press release issued this morning said the decision to discontinue Scion was made in part because the younger buyers Scion was founded to attract are happy buying Toyota models. No warrenty but i also have other means of transportation. I have my tc moderately tunned, stage 1 cams, 4-1 cams, intake, HKS exhaust. I could think of a couple other things off hand that are far less expensive that would offer 50hp more. I would never drop $3700 for a supercharger thats going to give me 50hp. if you want to spend some real money on your car for performance and you could care less about your warrenty. the most i have heard is a 20 hp increase with mmw. lol :rofl: :banghead: not bashing you bro. i guess that also means the stickers that my sponsers sent me give me an extra 2 hp each. I dont think i need to say anything more about nitrous.Ģ5 hp boost huh. I never suggest nitrous in any engine, for its long and short term effects. Imagine keeping your warranty, and not having to worry about filling up with expensive gas.
Nevertheless, they have not filed for bankruptcy.Īs far as the full exhaust and intake, you can see around a 25whp, which included a CAI, S pipe, 4-1 Header, Midpipe, and axle back. The customers who have recieved their kits are extremely happy with them, while the customers who have yet to recieve them are extremely annoyed - which i can say i would be too. ZPI has not filed for bankruptcy, they are just taking a while to get their kits out, they are a small shop based in Kentucky, the internet has done good and bad for them. I for one, realize that i bought a toyota camry, a very good block to work on, that shouldnt give me too much trouble. Some people bought their Scions for tuning, and not for a warranty. It also comes with a 5 year/60k mile warranty. costs $2950 without the install, but adds 50whp. NST makes a couple of good alternator and underdrive pulleys that dont really increase horsepower, but do increase throttle response. Costs $700 though, but it does include an anti fouler trick that will eliminate the CEL that the car throws when new headers are installed. MMW makes a race header and S pipe for the tC, which frees up around 15 ponies. The kit costs around $2800 without install.Īs for intakes, the tC sees around 4-5whp for every intake out for it.Īs for exhaust, i would go with a HKS highpower exhaust, but then again, the tC will only see ab out 5whp from that thanksįor the most power, unwarrantied, i would go with a ZPI Stage 0 turbo kit. now i know acura's and honda's but what performance parts does the tc respond to best ? what's possible without doing some major upgrades (internals,boosting it, etc.)? how does the car respond to a aem cold air and what kind of exhaust would you guys recommend? anything to give it some more power would be greatly appreciated. My buddy just bought a 06 scion tc and wants to make it faster.
