So I the crank shaft seal blew on my 3000gt (hope thats all) so I decided I needed a reliable car to get me back and forth the work and school so I picked up a 2007 tc this weekend. It's Blue with a 5spd. My only complaint so far is it needs a sixth gear, other than that (and lack of being a 3000gt) I absolutly love it.

Im afraid its too late for you now,looks like your soul has been lost to Scion. :wacko: Did you get rid of the 3000gt or do you plan to try fix it?

...Umm no I still have the 3000 and it will be fixed up and running by september turbos in by march or april... I do enjoy the Scion but it needs a 6th gear or a taller 5th, but other than that its a great set of wheels to get back and forth.

Im sorry to hear that you bought a Scion TotalCrap

I hate to say it but that total crap will last longer then most cars on the road. have you seen TOP GEAR where they try to killed a 1980's something Toyota Pick-up truck ???

this time where they took a huux to the north pole ???

and oh toyota have beaten GM in pretty much in every ways as well.

the first to go was:
Ford
Chrysler was let go by Daimler-Benz

Broke 1000 miles today.. the break in period is over... I did a burn out to celebrate... :) lasted all of 20 feet haha!

:liebe011:

hmm you drive an outlander... what did I decide to drive this weekend? Oh yeah a 2001 BMW 740iL oh yea hmm, Don't walk in to a forum just to piss off people.

My friend has a Dezod ball bearing turbo kit for his scion its really goes with 8 psi boost 240whp 300 at crank

ok buddy, your going to have to post pics, i didn't picture you making that move but get pics up and we'll go from there.

(i would think you'd take like an 07 evo or something)
are scions that fast at all? i didn't even know they were in the racing catigory, just thought they were a cheap get around car, how much did you pay?

get a little more respect on the site before you burn people :thumbsup:

man, i had to sell my 86 toyota pickup, i regret ever second of it every day, i miss that truck sooooooooo much (tear)

I bought the scion at the end of July, I really enjoy it, just got home from my second road trip to WVU in it, and it just continues to impress me, managed to chirp 4th and outrun a WRX, don't believe me fine. And then this trip we played with a 5 series, obviously he had us on the straights, but we were all over him in the turns. Granted he had just bought the car but still.

The gas mileage is not great it is 26, and its peppy, and there is no need to ever shift out of 5th on the highway. The stereo is good stock(pioneer) the rear seats recline, there is a AUX input for my ipod The headlights are amazing, and a 15.5 1/4 time.... yeah. The Brakes are good, oh and the sunroof is amazing. And the front end just looks mean.

My only complaints are that the gears are super close and because of this the gas mileage suffers, could use a 6th gear overdrive but whatever. And that the suspension is mushy... compared to my 3000 GT. But a strut bar and a set of coil overs would fix that. Also the interior is kind of cheap but the car is cheap but it is a Toyota and should run for a while. The seats a sorta flimsy, but then again I think the porsche seats are flimsy. Oh and I am not crazy about how the back of the car looks.

I bought it as a daily driver, because I needed a car that day, which sucks, I actually was on my way to pick up a used WRX and as I was rolling in it was rolling out, I was pissed. What ever I paid just over 17k new out the door with an extended warranty and Lojack, and free key replacement (damn keys with a computer chip) and If I bend a rim I have free replacements, up to 75,000 miles.

Once I run out of warranty I am going to probably turbo or supercharge it.

The factory upgrades and support is really good, TRD has everything a person could want and none of it voids the warranty including the supercharger.

Plus it looks better then the civic.

I still have the 3000gt which will be running by the end of the month.

well congrats man, get back to me on that other situation and we'll talk some more, got another idea.

They are funny looking in the back and that's all I saw from a red light sprint :(

It's still no replacement for the Celica GTS... a downgrade POS in comparison imo

They look better with the wing in my opinion. But I don't have one.

And yeah horrible downgrade from the Celica, although not really a POS :57:

for a daily commuter its not bad nice.

I railed a cat doing 75 tonight... broke the bottom half of my bumper. You really can't tell unless you look closely, but damn I am having a bad car night.

OoOoO I have looked into those...hubby says it could be a nice affordable car
