I love it. The new XB's kick arse

**DarkHorse** · 07-07-2007, 06:07 PM

I finally got to see a black one in person, and I am really impressed with them. It's a vehicle I would actually consider. Very nice.

**MattZTS** · 07-07-2007, 07:11 PM

not a fan. although i must admit it looks better than the previous gen. you do have a sweet ass driveway tho.

**CINCIN** · 07-07-2007, 07:14 PM

my paretns have a sweet ass driveway

but im lovin this thing right now! 50 miles deep and so far so good! cant wait to slam it! and get some rims...

but i have to sell my old focus wheels first...(check the for sale thread...i want them gona bad!!!

)

**CrUziN4L** · 07-07-2007, 07:30 PM

**CINCIN** · 07-07-2007, 09:26 PM

gonna try to keep it simple...mostly go and suspension stuff...i cant wait to see what i do with it either! hot damn it feels nice to have a new whip to play with!

**MattZTS** · 07-07-2007, 10:16 PM

yeah i think new wheels would make it look better too.

**CINCIN** · 07-08-2007, 02:53 PM

yeah..this thing is sittin on steels with hubs!!! gonna try to get some beauty rings for in the mean time...

**biscuitninja** · 07-08-2007, 02:59 PM

**OneYoungGun** · 07-08-2007, 04:54 PM

nice! I think the new xB design is growing on me...

**CINCIN** · 07-08-2007, 07:31 PM

bix- i saw these http://edgeracing.com/2008/Scion/xB/wheel/108/
i can get a package with some falken's shipped for under 700... and im also feelin these sport max's http://edgeracing.com/2008/Scion/xB/wheel/5048/ but they have em cheaper somewhere else..but they arent postin up prices or specs for 08's yet...som im still just waitin and tryin to sell the old foci rims...

kinda confused by the car setup on this thing...there is one right after the header like on the foci and then there is something in the resonator in the middle of the exhaust...and there is this carbon filer in the air box...which i hear is something that i would not be allowed to remove if i want to keep it emisions legal... we'll see as the product show up...

**BlckXenonZx3** · 07-08-2007, 07:33 PM

Fat spoke rims are all that belongs on the new XB. Perfect choice.

**CINCIN** · 07-08-2007, 07:45 PM

the sport max's? but if i cant get them from the site that sells them for under 100 a piece im gonna go with them flik's...and and the other site sells them with nitrogen inflation...and no falken's but kumho's that i had on the old rims...

**BlckXenonZx3** · 07-08-2007, 07:48 PM

Not just THOSE rims but fat spoked fives are all that belong. MR7s and multispokes don't look so great.

**CINCIN** · 07-08-2007, 08:32 PM

what about these? http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...l&sort=P rice
kinda heavy.. 24 lbs

**BlckXenonZx3** · 07-08-2007, 09:49 PM

I'd love to see someone be adventurous and throw a little dish into the mix. Those looks awesome though. You have good taste

**CINCIN** · 07-08-2007, 10:35 PM

which ones black? i like the five spoke sport max's...theyll be 819 with the falkens or i can get those sport editions for 728 with some continental extreme contacts (borhter works for them and i can get a disco when ordering from the rack) but they are 24lbs...dont know if thats a lot...my old 17's were 18lbs...so i dunno...everything else lighter looks like dooh dooh...

**CINCIN** · 07-09-2007, 10:02 AM

im likin these too...

20lbs

**steedafocusgirl** · 07-09-2007, 10:16 AM

I want to see the inside......

**CINCIN** · 07-09-2007, 10:17 AM

**2007Zx3** · 07-09-2007, 10:35 AM

are they still slow???

cuz I know the first gen toasters even with the turbo kits they make for them...

are slow...

kinda looks like a honda element...

to each his own man...to each his own

**Random** · 07-09-2007, 10:39 AM

hmmm, still haven't grown to like it...

**CINCIN** · 07-09-2007, 10:40 AM

158hp and 162tq...give or take one or two...i think its quick...quicker than my focus...but then again it didnt have much...but i dont need that much...and im also more concerned with mpg's and so far drivin around braking it in im gettin 27 so im expecting that to go up after i brake it in..it also handles pretty good...lot stiffer than i suspected...

tryin to figure out which wheels...

sport max

sport edition

flik
