**jerkeesvt** · 08-28-2007, 10:55 AM

"fliks" would be my choice!! Not real into the vehicle though.....,but to each his own!! Good luck on your new purchase!!!

**ryancsvt** · 08-28-2007, 11:09 AM

That looks SOOOOOOOOOOO much better than the older ones, and the blacked out center looks killer.

**chavezx2** · 08-29-2007, 11:24 AM

is the front of that thing painted or vinyled?

**CINCIN** · 08-29-2007, 12:52 PM

vinyl...

**aka177ai** · 08-29-2007, 03:54 PM

nice... i like the new xB's but my wife doesn't... i was even willing to sell my focus for one.

**CINCIN** · 08-30-2007, 10:28 AM

im lovin this thing...there just isnt much out there as far as parts yet...i have springs and ordered a sway bar for the rear but nothing for the engine yet..and no blades...just cant figure out which ones i want best

**chaz493** · 08-31-2007, 12:29 PM

I still say scion has the best marketing team ever. To get kids-young adults to purposely buy minivans AND make them think they are cool... Now that is an accomplishment!

kudos to them, they have done the impossible

**CINCIN** · 09-04-2007, 10:17 PM

i like my mini van / wagon

**CINCIN** · 09-16-2007, 07:05 PM

for some reason i cant edit my first post to put these pics in?

but i have chopped my shifter anbout two inches! and im lovin it!

**CINCIN** · 10-02-2007, 09:15 AM

installed the TRD intake last night!

the pipe...

the box sits behind the headlight/bottom vent...

and this vent helps feed in the air...

and here is the finished short shifter...sittin nice and stock looking

**CINCIN** · 10-02-2007, 01:23 PM

added some pics above...

**hotrodkris** · 10-02-2007, 01:25 PM

How is your gas mileage so far?

I really like these, especially in that deep rootbeer color

**CINCIN** · 10-02-2007, 04:29 PM

ive been steadily at about 27-28 nothing less...if i spend more time on the highway it goes up to 30...we'll see how they go now that i have the intake on...

**hotrodkris** · 10-02-2007, 11:48 PM

Awesome!! That's impressive.

Some people seem to think that because the car is heavier, that mileage will suffer because of that.

**CINCIN** · 10-03-2007, 09:04 AM

its all about how you drive it...i drive it like my focus and get about the same milage

**richsilver** · 10-03-2007, 01:54 PM

Shifter looks good.
Wife would KILL me if I did that to ours.

She's already tired of shifting.Should have gotten an auto in retrospect.

Those TRD parts are too pricey for me.Was the intake not so bad?

Physics dictates that one... It may do well, but it'd be even better if it were lighter with a smaller engine of equivalent efficiency.

The problem with the old one was that it was light, but the old 1.5L wasn't very fuel efficient.

**hotrodkris** · 10-03-2007, 02:01 PM

Well all things considered, even if it is a beast, I've driven in the old one, and it feels like a tin can compared to the new ones.

I'm sure there will be a glut of new parts to come out after SEMA as well.

What is the bolt pattern on the new xB?

**OmniFocus** · 10-03-2007, 02:04 PM

I happen to like the old one... but I also happen to like the new one, so it all meshes well.

...as long as nobody tries to pretend the new one is a b-segment car.

its 5 x 114.3 lots o options..i haven't made my decision yet..but i would like some thick five spoke lexus LS replica wheels...i just haven't found them for the right price and i'm not sure of their offset

imjust waiting for an exhaust and and im pretty set

but the only thing out righ now is the trd can and its just that...im hopin for a full cat back exhaust...but have a feeling that its emisions set up will only allow for axle back cans...which..if the right one is made...id still pimp

(bucked off hks can

like on the tc )

**CINCIN** · 12-04-2007, 08:43 PM
