We went and looked at those the other day. I LOVE THEM. Tons of room inside, and cheap! $16k for the one we want (basically just stock with a 5speed). Much more solid than the 1st Gen. Robb's 6'5" and he's got at least 3 more inches of headroom compared to his ZX3. We're seriously considering one.

I met Robb via Focaljet - so yes

But I'm more of a 'Car Guy' than 99% of the people on this forum, so....

First mod: JDM air freshener! Good for 13whp. Well and rear limo tint.

After that, I'd wait and see 'til after SEMA. Probably suspension/wheels/tires first, then go-fast goodies.

I was impressed that the Gen2's interior is so much nicer than the first Gen... the car felt very solid. I don't care if it's 600lbs heavier, the doors go 'thunk' instead of making a tinny noise when you close them. I like the dash better, I like the seats, I like how much more room there is.

Re: your first mod: is that paint or vinyl?

**CINCIN** · 07-19-2007, 11:46 AM

its vinyl..im doing my sub tonight...and springs are on the way...and im debating the clear bra for the front...

**hotrodkris** · 07-19-2007, 11:47 AM

Which springs did you get?

**o2_designs** · 07-19-2007, 11:59 AM

Yeah, car def needs wheels and susp.

But its a good start so far, the front end looks better...

**CINCIN** · 07-19-2007, 12:34 PM

i bought the trd springs...everything else is in testing and what not..and it drops it 1.5 so im fine with that...chicago streets suck sometimes...im hoping for a nice exhaust that is not axle back...curious what we will get since there is some sort of tripple cat set up or something...and i want a nice intake...but nothing is out yet...

**So_Broke** · 07-19-2007, 05:05 PM

Looks good, I like the black paint addition on the front. Something I too would have thought of but maybe glossy. I was stuck next to one of those at a red light on a twisty road and he floored it, I guess since I have a focus I'm supposed to always race Scions. Needless to say, he had the jump on me so he won, but I scared the crap out of my girlfriend. hehe

**SVT-SAGE** · 07-20-2007, 04:44 PM

Yeah bro, the front end looks meaner with the vinyl, Props-

**drod01** · 07-20-2007, 04:53 PM

looks good..i personally like the asas

**richsilver** · 07-23-2007, 10:12 PM

You talked/pictured us into one.
Wife liked them so we picked up a Teal one for her tonight.
Already had black aftermarket wheels on it
Also got the 5sp.I'll put up some pics in awhile.

**CINCIN** · 07-31-2007, 08:19 AM

bumpage for added springs!!! woo!!!

**CINCIN** · 07-31-2007, 10:13 AM

what about these wheels?
http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...&showR ear=no
i can get a tremendous deal at the rack cause the brother can hook up a serious discount with continental products...thise might sway me to purchase these rims...

**spinwax** · 07-31-2007, 11:46 AM

I am going to post the same exact thing I posted in Richsilver's thread about his XB.... cool ride btw.

I have always liked the XB. They have charm that I can't explain.

The new one reminds me of the Geico cave man. They look very Caveman/Mongoloid/Frankensteinish...Maybe that is the charm. Who doesn't love a person with an overhang brow? LOL

**CINCIN** · 07-31-2007, 11:47 AM

haha nice

HaHa.Gotta love us.

Looks good CINCIN.
For the price I think those wheels will look good.I almost got the Sport Edition F7's for the Corolla so I like them too.

**CINCIN** · 07-31-2007, 12:39 PM
