    Welcome. What are you looking into doing? Power or suspension? And thanks for the compliment. Give us some ideas that you want and we'll go from there.

    I'm going for both, right now I'm more focused on the power rather the exterior. But still I have a couple of bucks saved that I can use to fully customize the car.

    Products that I have already:

    1. Full Exhaust (Magnaflow going to the engine)
    2. Fujita Coldair intake

    Thanks guys

    Well, a few bucks won't get you to full customization lol. Suspension is not on the exterior. Power would mean nothing if you can't handle it in the twisties. For power in the tC, other than the standard I/H/E, you'll probably want to look into forced induction with either the TRD supercharger or a turbo kit.

    lol a few bucks means 15 to 20k.

    And for example my Scion is automatic, what do I need to do to make it a manual one?

    Thanks

    15-20K!!! Holy ----. Well, if you have an automatic, I suggest you read this thread: http://www.club-tc.com/forums/perfor...-question.html. Do you have a certain mark you want to hit HP wise?

    The max is your imagination. If you can dream it, you can build it. It would be possible to hit 400hp to the wheels, but we're talking alot of boost with a fully built motor.

    Yep. 300hp with the stock motor is no problem.

    Quaife Limited Slip Differential $1,052.50
    Dezod Turbo Kit-With Everything $4,894.00
    Walbro 255lph In-tank Fuel Pump $105.00
    DESCENDANT Intake Manifold $598.00
    DESCENDANT Fuel Rail $194.00
    Weapon-R Headers $600.00

    This is a good start. These are just what I would do if I were planning a build. I'd run the turbo with anywhere between 7-8 psi. Now, the turbo kit listed is only for 05-06. This is why I asked you what year you have. Let me know what year you have because you may have to go with something else. Auto kind of limits your options.

    I just realized that I had forgot the LSD is stated for manual only. Not sure what the design differences there are with the diff's in auto and manual trans. Stock motor can definitely handle 300WHP all day long. 400WHP is pushing the limits on a stock motor.

    Checked out the Descendant Racing Intake and fuel rail. So far, it looks to be pre-production and there is no data out. Without a flow bench, it is difficult to gauge actual performance. Waiting on this one.
