xB: Nice Rack! - Focaljet

**Red-SE-00´** · 06-27-2008, 11:01 AM

I did a photoshoot by myself last weekend but its a new camera...and I am still learning. So cut me some slack with the full shoot for a lil bit. I gotta make sure I know what settings do what...lol.

Here are some shots from the Honda Tech Htown BBQ.

Yes I do use the rack.

1 - I have a bike I ride now 2 - 3 times a week.
2 - The cargobasket will soon be holding a spare full size wheel.

Coilovers will be here hopefully next week...lower here I come.

Awesome!! Everything looks awesome...was gonna say, it would help to lower just the front end , it sits too high. reverse rake FTL...

Racks are sexy...good choice.

Actually the car sits completely level. The reason for the current springs/tire set-up was to bring the back end down a lil bit...which I accomplished.

But with the coilovers I will be able to change to a 205/40 on the front and keep the 215/40 on the rear and level it out with the coilovers.

Yes, but when you run staggered fitment, the front tire is smaller, creating more wheel gap. That is ugly... But I'm sure that will get fixed with the coilovers.

Love it.

Yeah when it comes to technical stuff like this the Scion community at large is just useless when it comes to helping.

If there was a site like FJ for Scions I would be there....unfortunately there is not.

So everything I do is trial and error.

Best part is...the people that do know think its cool to keep things a secret because they dont want anyone jocking their style.
