Hey all. So the Camry finally let me down. I tore into that car so hard. Need speaker vents? Cut a hole? Want to try something crazy? Rip out half the interior? Acoustic foam on all surfaces? Sure why the hell not. It was my first real car. I loved it to death, but its time to move on. I always told everyone that i'd drive it till it left me on the side of the road and it did just that. Multiple times. So I got some funds together and got a new car. Here's my new baby. 6 speed manual 2011 Scion TC.
Its a reconstructed/totaled title so i got it for a good deal. Unfortunately, that means its got its hiccups. So far the engine and body have been reliable but the work that was done elsewhere is shady as fuck. It was some random guy on the shitty side of town who did the work. Meh. First off. I had to get rid of those plastidip wheels and OH BOY OH BOY WAS THAT A FUCKINGGGGGGG ADVENTURE.
Far far better imo.
Next up was a look through the car to see what other shady shit was done. Found this. That's the window cleaner sprayer on the carbon fiber hood. Pretty sure its gorilla glue all over it. So ill need to fix that. The back seat is missing a large link that connects it and there are random ass bolts all over the place. The seat still looks good and functions well. I've pulled a few panels and there are missing clips as well. Other than those things. Everything seems alright. Just some dumb bs to fix but nothing drastic.
The doors on this car is absolutely massive..and completely built for a SQ build. Just look at this, its like a third of the car!
I may end up building some fully custom, ground up door panels for it at some point but for now. I'll roll with what i got.
Just a quick look through the car and the room i have available for stereo stuff. First pic(ignore circle) is of Gen1 version of this cars dash and what it looks like with all the useless crap tore out. From some reading, it looks like the 2nd gen(mine) is the sameish platform but a little bit wider. 2nd pic is my cars dash now. I'd be willing to bet that if i dug into the dash. i could find more than a enough room for a shallow mount subwoofer enclosure. 2nd picture is my current dash.
