#1942 of 2033 Re: Factory Front End Mask Bra - Missing snaps [andeet] by goodstar Aug 17, 2008 (4:07 am)
Replying to: andeet (Aug 16, 2008 10:01 pm) Would it be possible to take a picture of the male end of the snap that fastens to the car and post here so I could see what they look like? (I'm not sure how or if you can post pictures here) The bra I have is in perfect condition but I need those snaps. Would you be willing to part with those snaps?

Replying to: goodstar (Aug 17, 2008 4:07 am) Very easy to post pics. Upload the pic to your CarSpace or photo bucket. On the bottom of your post you see the buttons above the Emoticons. Click on the "Img" then paste the url where your picture is stored. Click on "Img" again and Voila! pic in post. Like this:   I went to Carspace photo section and picked any photo. I right click on the photo and scroll to "properties", click on properties and highlight the url and copy it then paste to my post after clicking on Img, once the url is pasted click on Img again.

Replying to: andeet (Jul 02, 2008 3:38 am) Hi andeet. Is it a good idea to run Sythentic 5-20 Mobil 1 in a brand new car??? Is the quality/reliability of a Scion as good as the Honda Civic? I have heard that there are quality problems with the Scion tC. You wouldn't think so since Toyota makes the car! However, I do NOT see many Corollas on the road that are more than 2 years old. You have said that it is a good idea to order online vs the dealer as far as performance, i.e., a TRD CAI and axel back exhaust. Where would be the best online store to order? tyvm
#1945 of 2033 All season radials? by heybroder Aug 22, 2008 (7:30 pm)
I have to have a tC that has tires that will handle rain and snow. I know the tC comes with 17" wheels with touring tires that can't be used in the snow and are probably not that great on wet/rain roads. If this problem can't be solved, I may have to go to the Honda Civic. I wish 16" wheels with all season tires could be ordered but I do not think that is possible. tyvm Replies to this message: mackabee (Aug 24, 2008 9:20 pm) heybroder (Aug 25, 2008 6:43 am) mackabee (Aug 25, 2008 7:03 am)
#1946 of 2033 I guess I've became the Scion Diva Around Here??? lol by andeet Aug 24, 2008 (2:32 am)
I use Mobil 1 5-20 but last Tuesday doing my oil change. I've found two small clumps while draining out oil. So..I'm thinking of forking the extra $$$ and order Amsoil in bulk. Amsoil is the true Sythentic oil. $10.00s for a guart; thats how good it is.   Quality-Civic versus tC? I never owned nor want to own Civic. So the only thing I can say is Civic (I'm going to say) doesn't have the tC's rattles. But does have the same paint issue I was reading reviews. Being complete honest, if you want more performance don't want to spend the $30k price tag for Si. I would go with the tC. Also being a Scion owner who puts in $3k performance parts during warranty mileage including a Cold Air Intake. I never had problems with my dealer threating me to void my warranty with all the aftermarket. Remember that's why Toyota bought out Scion in the first place.   Here in Wisconsin- We see Corollas everyday including those 1980s Corollas that might look like rusted beer can least they are still running. I see more 2000's and '08 Corollas than new Civics.   http://www.trdsparks.com/displayparts.php?Mdl_dtl=545&Part_cat=2&parts_id=402   For the muffler, unless you're planning on having the dealer to installation? --------------   For 16 inch tires. I guess you never heard about the Special Package level? With tire size 205/55R16 that including plain looking steelies and wheel covers? Toyota offered for customizing. Cheaper price tag without 17 alloy wheels, sunroof (But you still get the glass roof), without audio controls on steering wheel. Also remember there are such thing as Winter tires? But I also know a hidden trick with our tires and wheels? That drove the service department crazy. LOL Replies to this message: heybroder (Aug 24, 2008 5:27 pm)

Replying to: andeet (Aug 24, 2008 2:32 am) tyvm for your responce, Scion Diva (andeet)! We greatly appreciate the info. Can you start using the Amsoil at your first oil change? Again, tyvm
#1949 of 2033 Amsoil by andeet Aug 24, 2008 (8:48 pm)
I think you can???? Because they recommend for you to start the oil when your car is fully functioning. They stated cars with leakage and use large amounts shouldn't change to Amsoil. There are shops that will do Amsoil but I couldn't tell you how much it is. Might be more since they say you can drive 7,500 miles on a oil change with Amsoil.   Remember tCs are okay to drive in snow. I just don't recommend to buy one during a snow storm. LOL You'll have to learn how to drive it first before taking on snow. I have tricks to drive in the snow with my car and get by.   My hidden trick with all season tires to keep traction on the snow is....rotating tires every month during the winter.

Replying to: heybroder (Aug 22, 2008 7:30 pm) Why not buy the tC and then get a set of all seasons with 16 alloys at TireRack?   Replies to this message: heybroder (Aug 25, 2008 6:43 am) mackabee (Aug 25, 2008 7:03 am)
#1951 of 2033 Good Point Mack! by andeet Aug 25, 2008 (2:19 am)
Trust me do what he said....   If you look closer at my wheels, you'll see wheel damage caused by driving on this everyday!     Stupid city has to plow my neighborhood LAST in the whole city!     That's okay, cause I get paid three times during October. So I'm taking that money and going to a tire shop and buying myself some 17 inch winter tires for my OEMs. Then next Spring, I will go back and buy myself 18 inch all seasons with sport wheels. Maybe if I get bored with them, I'll go with 18 inch chrome wheels with Summer tires then when I want to go to the drag strip... I'll switch them out with the sport wheels.   Trust me if I do have three sets of wheels.... I'll use all sets during the year. Since I'll be saving tread throughout the whole year.
