    ok so i have an 07 that ive had since last august...it's a manual which i am very proud to have. the only problem is it's white (no offense to the folks that like white) so im not putting any pics up until it gets painted, which i will be taking it to charleston for that the first week of april. it really needs some red and black on that white. i ABSOLUTELY love my car and tCs in general.

    here is a very small list of the things ive done to my baby so far:

    red trd lowering springs
    new front and lower mesh grille
    magnaflow exhaust
    18in enkei lsr rims
    12in treo and new head unit
    tinted windows

    i plan on doing a whole lot more soon, as i have only recently gained a bigger interest in cars...my mom was a professional drag racer for many many years so cars got a little stale lol...but not so much any more

    im looking forward to any and all advice/recommendations yall have to offer

    next things on the list are the weapon r header and cai which i am between the weapon r or the k&n (i cant decide between the two)...aem doest make one for the 07 (i called and was heart broken)

    If I had to choose between the two CAI's, I would choose the Weapon-R. K&N makes good products, but oil treated air filters have to be cleaned more often. Plus over oiling a K&N filter can ruin or gunk up the MAF sensor. Your better off w/ a Dri-Flow air filter.

    On another note, I would suggest buying a rear sway bar, an after market resonator (Moroso Spiral Flow or Magnaflow), Energy Suspension Motor & Tranny Bushings and a Lite Weight Crank Pulley (NST-Non Stop Tuning or Agency).

    cool, so if i go with that weapon r is that dri flow like you mentioned or should i go with something else? i was definately going with that nst so thats really cool you mentioned it...where do i find these energy suspension motor and tranny bushings you speak of? i'll be sure to add them to my list. also, does anybody make a decent ignition system for our cars? the only one ive found so far that looks ok is okada but i dont know how reliable their product is

    I can't remember is Weapon-R is a Dri-Flow or a Foam Filter, but its way better than the oil treated one by K&N. If your looking for the Energy Suspension Bushings, go to: 8.1104 Motor Mount and Transmission Mount Bushings

    The OEM Ignition System on our tC's more than plenty. MSD, Mallory and Accel is probably what your talking about, I don't believe they'll work properly on our tC's.

    so, i found a guy with a brand new, never used trd s/c...i kinda want to get it as the price is amazing, should i get it? i know turbos make more power and all that but the s/c arent wimps either...i still want my car to function properly as it is my daily driver, so i guess i wanna know a few pros and cons, also the guy said it was bought for an 08, so i guess that would go on my 07, any advice/knowledge is welcome, thanks

    Yes, it will work with your year model. Is it a complete kit? If it is not, you have to factor in the costs to replace or come up with alternatives. Even if it is just the charger itself, you can just replace other components with higher end products to make more power.

    it is just the charger itself, with the gaskets and small stuff to put it on, no injectors or anything...would i need to get those first, or anything else for that matter?
