Need help asap

water pump went out yesterday on the side of the highway and shredded the belt. pushed it to a safer spot on the side of the road. spent four hours doing the water pump and belt but now it just won’t start. it did overheat but the head gasket is not blown. cam position sensor was dirty cleaned it and still nothing. I had to go home as it was 12 am and have to go back there today. any ideas? I can’t get a tow as I have 51 cents to my name and I am fully stumped there’s not a lot of information online. Literally got the car 2 days ago and traded my working vehicle so I might lose my job (I’m a pizza driver) if I can’t fix this. please help.

Lexus style front grille (concept)

So this is a continuation of a post I made here a while ago about making a Lexus style grille for the tC. The idea is to bridge the stock lower grille into the blank space around the emblem, kind of like a spindle grille shape.

I started by using Fusion to mock up the bumper cut, removing the section between the lower grille and the emblem area. Then I took a grille from a 3D model of an LC500, brought it into Blender, and reshaped it to fit the tC bumper profile. I had to cut it, bend it, and line it up so it followed the front and side profile of the bumper.

This is the final digital mockup so far. Next step is prototyping it with 3D prints, then figuring out the mounting, trimming, and finishing. Definitely still experimental, but I think it has potential

Why does my car do this?

Why does my 2006 Scion tC do this while idling or driving? The car is great and hasn’t given me any problems.

My 2014 Scion Tc

My ​ 2014 Scion tC

I'm on the verge of turboing it at 7psi, on stock motor 150,000 miles. Putting a Garrett R22 ​turbo shooting for 300 to 315 horsepower? What do ​ y'all think? My uncle is a mechanic so labor is pretty much on him lOL ​

12 Years with My tC as a Daily Driver Still Mechanically Solid

I might have two other cars now, but the tC will always have a place in my heart. It has been my daily driver for 12 years and has never left me stranded. Still running strong and mechanically solid to this day. Keeping her till it explodes, if ever lol

2014 Scion tC

When stopped at a red light, my rpms drop really low to 500–550 rpms and it’s slightly fluctuates while sitting there until I start driving again. It also gets a random surge of power for a quick second while just cruising down the road. I googled it and spent so much time trying to figure it out. It could be something with a throttle body or a vacuum leak or MAF needs to be clean, etc. I know nothing about cars and I can’t afford to just take it anywhere and get ripped off. I just replaced all 4 tires AND the got brand new back brakes/rotors. I did have a friend look at it and he basically just said that it’s gonna need a lot of repairs and replacements given it just hit 105,000 miles and it’s kind of oldish car. He suggested trading it in while it still has value. That made my heart break just thinking about never seeing my baby again. This car is like my child. We have been through so much together. I dont know what to do. Please help. Any advice is appreciated

Prep for another Track Day

Going to Texas Motorsport Ranch tomorrow to try the 3.1 mile Counterclockwise configuration. The car did great a couple weeks ago Harris Hill Raceway, so I am excited to see how it does on a bigger faster track.

$1100 for brake job?!!

Hey friends, my 2014 tc is my first car i’ve owned and i’ve been delaying a brake job for a minute because I was pampered with school, but I’ve really been wanting to install my own brake set up, i got akimbo pads and vented brembos for rear and some casual brakes at the front. I tried doing it myself recently and the brake caliper bolt bolts are stuck beyond my set of tools, called around some shops, none of which were willing to do the job with parts I supply although they’re new. Firestone is trying to charge me $1100 for both front and back?! Wondering what price point I should be looking at if someone else does it including them providing the parts.

Any help with stain removal?

Anyone got any ideas or videos that I can use to remove this stain off the ceiling of the car? I can’t really soak it cause then it’ll sag, and any videos I try to look up on YouTube is just people promoting their cleaning solution which doesn’t have anything correlated to major stains like this, any advice would be appreciated 🙏

Context: a used scion tc, it came like this when I bought it, so idk how long it’s been stained like that for maybe years idk
