Difference between scion tC and solara?

Difference between scion tC and solara?

Postby RDKamikaze » Sat Jun 17, 2006 4:50 am

Ye, I searched to start out, to let everyone know. I'm just curious what similarities/differences in parts scions and solaras have because they look the same and are from the same company. Like could I get an intake for the scion tc and put it on my I4 '06 solara? Or how about headers, could I fit those on or are they not the same engine design. I just want to see what I can find because it's tough looking for solara parts lol! Thanks guys!

I don't think they look alike at all. From what I understand most of the parts aren't interchangeable. People have asked on here about interchangeability for most parts with these two cars, you should be able to find the threads if you search.

They are completely different cars; the TC is a sport compact car and the solara is a full size coupe. The only thing they share in common is the 4 banger, but the layout of that has substantial differences.

Does the key that come with a tC work in an immobilizer-equipped 'Lara? I like the 1-piece setup.

Solara's look sexier ;)

But for those who love,

So, does that mean that I can't get anything for the tC that would fit my solara? I was aking because yes, the tC is more popular with the aftermarket and same with eagle talon then my saturn sc1. They had a bunch of interchangables so some of my saturn has talon upgrades lol.
