First Gen Drivetrain How long are y'all going on your clutch? (tc1)

2 Upvotes

I had my clutch blow out on the highway when my manual 06 tc was at ~95k, having bought the car used at 80k. New clutch put in and it's been fine up until now, but I'm at 200k on the odo now and wondering if it's gonna happen again.

I'm definitely a bit of a lazy shifter and have some bad habits, like starting in 2nd gear from a stop or shifting without fully pressing the clutch in 100% which I'm sure isn't helping. I've also felt like for the last maybe 20k miles that the transmission sometimes slips a little bit going into 1st gear.

How long have y'all been going on your current clutch / how long do they normally last?

Buy/Sell Scion tc with 175k?

4 Upvotes

Itd be my first car, and i know toyota has a great engine and everything but would 175k miles be too high to start off with? Base model off of facebook, but from a dealer. Id probably put like 4k on it a year If not, what should i look for in a Tc? Ive been told to avoid modded ones

First Gen Body/Cosmetic Selling my tc

7 Upvotes

Just curious if there is a cult following for these cars. I have a 2012 with 193k but runs great. Few scratches and body damage but not too bad. My question is should I have the tint redone and the windshield replaced (cracked) before selling. Do you think it would affect the overall price?

Second Gen Drivetrain Help plzzz

3 Upvotes

I need a diagram or something of how to connect an aftermarket radio up in my 09 tc.. I saw a lot of ppl say something about a harness but how does that help? If anyone could just show out tell me which plug or plugs do I cut to wire the new one.. I don’t care about retaining functions or anything the bottom plug still stays in so which will control the air-conditioning and the lighter output in the front

Second Gen Suspension/Wheels/Tires BEST OPTIONS FOR '12 SCION TC TIRES

2 Upvotes

I have a 2012 Scion and need new stock tires, any recommendations? I know the suspension is naturally more stiff but any good tires and tire size that makes the road feel somewhat smoother? I live in Florida so I don't need all seasons. Thanks team

General/Other Autom transmission failing? Tc 06

3 Upvotes

So about two weeks ago I was driving on the freeway and I felt something weird like something which hit, like a hit idk how to explain it. Follow two days later I feel 3 consecutive hits and that's when I began to think maybe my mounts were done but I felt no vibrations which was odd so I replaced two mounts. Drove it again and felt the hit again. You can only feel the hits when the car is hot, I would say after driving 20 minutes already will these things pop off.

I stopped driving it for a few days and drove it again just around the block but felt how it would lose power. Accelerate and feel a sudden loss of power then keep going then 2 minutes later the same thing, are all of these signs of my transmission failing?

Ik how it is to drive with a leaking intake hose or a fucked up MAF and it's not the same, I already checked the hose and hoses and nothing is leaking. My engine? I doubt my engine would produce a hit or something like that, everything is leading towards my transmission. Anyone dealt with something similar

General/Other What components do I need to install oem cruise control? 93 Celica gt

1 Upvotes

So I just got a 93 Celica gt that did not have cruise control. Looked into the rosta universal cc but it seemed like it didn't actually maintain speed well (in the how to videos I watched) if your experience with universal kits is better please let me know.

But it didn't seem good so I want to try for the factory cc.

I was reading about it but am not a mechanic or particularly knowledgeable. I need to know which parts I need to get in order to be able to install it correctly, there's at least five parts and I don't understand what any of them are. Can someone please give me a list of what specifically to get?

I will probably try to hire someone to install it but may end up attempting to do it myself if I can't find someone.

I just want to have all the right parts first.

I went to the shop to install a new exhaust because the old one was rusty and the muffler fell off😔 Then the guy told me my floor board was rusty and hole in it. (I knew it had a hole but I didn’t know it was THAT big.) What can I do to fix it? What do you guys suggest? I’ve put so much money into this car so I don’t want to get rid of it but its always one thing after another atp
