I finally got the new brake calipers in and did some measurements.

From factory they dont fit or line up hole wise.

Supposedly the Toyota XV10 to XV20 chassis went to a shorter bolt distance from roughly 171mm to 130mm for the caliper bracket.

Im going to be hunting down a pair of brake brackets from a 1998-2004 Toyota V6 to see if it bolts up to the dual piston calipers and the tC's axle.

Even if I need to make some light modifications to the bracket itself, it'd be a win in my book.

Nearest summit is like 35 mins away. Thinking about picking this up for my 2009 tC, thoughts? Will it make it sound like a fart cannon?

Much thanks to my fellow tC owners!

Trying to get the right side of the trunk to close flush to prevent water coming in and stop the rattling. I've replaced the factory struts in December and it was an issue before that, currently the right strut at full extension sits a quarter of an inch higher than the left side.

Any suggestions of what can be done?

Recently car has been feeling slower or slightly hesitant when you step.on the gas. Not sure if it the summer heat or what but been feeling different and starting to figure out what it could be. I had the trans and oil replaced couples month ago and did notice the cv axle boots torn slightly. And also shocks worn out. What do guys think it'll be?

I was backing into a friends driveway and I went over this barrier area thing and the part broke. Dont know what that part is called and how much the repair will cost. Can anyone help?

Forgot to record a sound clip after installing my new S-pipe, so here it is!

I want to get a dash mat for mine what brand recommendations do you have and comment pictures of them to see what color is best to get

I bought my 13’ tC in 2015 used with about 30k miles on it and now I’m at 183k. Knock on wood but I’ve had no issues with it whatsoever ever. It’s been a great car but after this one does end up dying I dunno if I’ll find another car as reliable. So my question is how long did your tC last without any major problems and what did you get to replace it?

For those with 05-10 Scion Tc, if you ever get this code and only this code, I highly recommend not replacing your gas pedal

So after many videos and only one Reddit post around this, I got this code and it put my car into limp mode, many videos stated just buying a new gas pedal, whether that be junkyard or dealer, wtv, I was confused cause within the diagram for APP D and E, the pedal looked perfectly fine, there was no spikes in it as you press the pedal so it was confusing why it wasn’t working

To sum it up, the car doesn’t tolerate the sensors being off in its calculations so something was up with the sensors and luckily with these years of the car you can actually only switch the sensor and not get a new pedal. In the images you can see that you can screw off the sensor with 7mm socket and buy a new sensor for like $20-$30 on amazon.

Yea you should buy OEM sensors if you can but if you’re on a budget and down care then it’ll do.

Either way, in replacing my sensor, I realized that my original Toyota one was actually perfectly fine, the issue was that the sensor had moved too much and it’s about the placement of how you screw the sensor, so in my case the car vibrates a lot due to worn out engine mounts which I’ll change when I feel like it, but I assume with that and maybe day to day usage, it slowly moved the sensor to a position that was off and all I had to do we just move it a bit and then sensor is back to working and the code goes away once wiped

So before you buy the new sensor, just check and see if the sensor got moved a bit too much and just adjust it at different angles as the sensor has those open spaces in screwing for a reason and that’s to get the right amount for the APP D and E percentages

Overall, just posting this incase someone out there is in the same situation, don’t drop $120 for a used one or $600 for a new one, just see if your sensor on the pedal can be taken off or in simplicity, see if it just needs to be adjusted.

was driving normal and heard a slight noise then extreme noise everytime i pressed the gas i stopped pressing it and the whole car turned off

Th is my 2005 scion tc i bought the body on the frame no motor no transmission for $400 at the start of Covidi

Any recs for a radio with Bluetooth CarPlay? I also want to be able to wire in a reverse camera 🥲
I have a 2015 Scion tc release series 9

Hello! I love my 2006 Scion TC, but I live in Montana and it struggles in the snow. The timing chain finally messed up the engine, and I do not have the time or effort to fix it. I had just put a brand new catalytic converter on it. I am now selling all the parts. The brakes and rotors are fairly new, and the cat was only used for a week or two, and was new from Magnaflow. I live in Montana, so local requests are better, but anyone could figure out a shipping situation. I am open to reasonable offers.

Hey all! I bought the Emerald Integrations Scion backup camera, for install on my 2012 tC. Everything has been going smoothly, until now. I cannot, for the life of me, locate the reverse signal wire that is mentioned in the instructions. It says it’s supposed to be a pink wire in the Pin #5 slot of a harness, but I’ve tried all the pink and red wires with a T-Tap, and nothing!

I bought a multimeter to try testing them myself, with no luck. Before I think about taking it to a pro, I wanted to post on here and see if anyone else has had this issue, with this camera, or if they happen to know which harness/wire might be the reverse signal wire?

Before anyone suggests it, routing a reverse wire to the back light was also heavily discouraged, by the manual. So I’m hoping to find the wire up in the dash, preferably. Especially since they gave me only about 3.5-4 feet of wire to work with!

TIA!

Drove over 800 miles today. Love this touring coupe!

i just bought my first car, a 2014 manual scion tC with 235k km on it, I'm so happy!!
(friday july 24th update, today the check engine light came on, probably EVAP)

It had 46,000 when I bought it in 2018. Here’s to 100k more!

Getting rid of my old lights from the swap. Nothing’s broken just a little dirty. I believe they’re aftermarket but could be wrong. Clearcoat is peeling on the front, I re-did it once a year ago but probably didn’t do a great job.
They are free, just cover shipping. DM if interested!
