New To Site With Some Questions

[Slvrtc2006]

I own a '06 tc auto and have a couple of questions.

1. How can I hook up a amp and a sub to the stock head unit without damaging anything? Does the stock Head unit have RCA outputs?

2. Although my Celica GTS is rated at a lower power level than my tc, it feels like my GTS pulls a lot harder and produces a nice low tone from engine at rpm's between 5000-8500 rpm. What can I do to the tc to give it a nice deep tone when I put the pedal to the floor? Also, what mods recomended to give the car a little more to get off the line?

3. Again I am so used to the GTS's handling, what do I need to do to make the tc grab the road like the GTS in cornering, with the tc if I take a exit doing about 60 I feel like I'm gonna fly into the passanger seat whereas in my GTS I don't even feel the turn.

4. Lastly, will the 3SGT-E fit in the tc?

Thanx for any help in advance.

1. PAC makes a speaker out to line out adaptor that works really well. Mate this to a Metra radio harness and its PNP.
2. The TRD exhaust gives great growl that is a low rumble, but pricey. Magna flow produces another good setup.
3. Lower your tC. The Celica hasa lower center of gravity. You need a setup like the Hotchkis Stage I TVS that has larger sway bars. OEM strut are fine till they need replacing or you could go with TRD or Tokico. For all out you need 3-way adjusable coil-overs. Add a front strut bar.
4. Maybe, but why? I assume from this reason here. You will have to run a standalone e-manage and integrate inputs into the Scion ECM. Contact Jotech Motorsports for this info.

Thank for all the info. I think I am gonna start buy installing Tokiko Illumina struts with Eibach Pro-kit. Unfortunatly this is a Auto tc cause my wife can't drive the manual. I may still turbo it one day but i don't know how well the auto trans is gonna hold up.

It holds up fairly well. You need to get your hands on that TRD second reflash that is used on the TRD S/C auto installs. It calibrates the auto trans ECM to handle the power better. Might be worth looking into.

Thanx man. I'll probably be selling the Celica and buying a Manual tc for me. The auto I got is not much of a attraction to me, I'll let my wife keep that one.
