This type of thread has been done on a few forums I’ve frequented over the years. It’s generally become one of the more popular threads.

Basically, what have you done for your car lately? No matter how mundane - like washing it - or how spectacular - full coilover swap, tell us! And also, include photos if you can!

I miss my tC at times
The Scion TC wife bought without me knowing ahead of time ot was a rebuild/salvagedtitle. It was in just messed up shape, inside, wires, connectors, harnesses, airbags, sensors & modules. Took me 3 months of fixing. Painting interior plastics from beige to black. Had effed up rpm surging limp mode 25mph max. Hollowed out the cat, new hoses, cleaned throttle body, no more glowing carry red exhaust headers & no limp mode surging rpms. The sound is still oem quiet which is weird for being hollowed out cat.
Washed and waxed her again:

Is it inside the fuse box? I like that if it is.

Any chance you can take a pic of what the backside of the fuse cover looks like. I really like this idea. I had no idea there was enough room in there for it. I can buy a spare lid for $22 so I don't mind putting a hole in it for the wiring. if I bring it for warranty I want everything stock and untouched which is why I would get a second lid.

Nothing super exciting but switched out the silver acorn lug nuts with black splined ones. Pretty nice change for not much money.

Did my 8th oil change today, double checked the Downpipe and it appears it’s finally secure so I went and installed the SXTH hot pipe. Nice and clean without the resonator delete and clamps everywhere. Gave it a good scrubbing too.
