very nice! I like the fact that you went with 15" (?) wheels instead of 17-18's with
rubber bands. It looks good. What have you done to the car so far?

It looks like you got a lowering kit and is that a factory aero kit?

I'm planning on getting one myself probably next year. :smile:

TEIN S-Tech springs, 15x8 wheels with 18ET and thats about it. The aerokit is standard. :smile: It'll never be fast and I just accept that. Only thing else planned is a stereo upgrade.

How fast is [/i]fast[/i]? How fast do you need to go? I've run mine at 98 (according to my Street Pilot GPS) and it was stable and had throttle remaining.

N~ice! :smile:

I'll have to remember that offset. Do those xB's come with a 5MT or 4AT only?
I don't care if it's fast or not on a xB. If it looks good and has a nice stereo
system, who cares. :smile: And I'd be looking for an AT version for sure.

Regardless of color an xB looks far better than a BRG MINI!

205/50 then running a 15x7. reason- if factory is 175, 205 will probably
have tramlining already.

Dan, nice silver Scion. We also have a silver xA, purchased since July of 03. Great little car! Economical and reliable! You probably already know that S/C is available for the little 1.5 L.

I am normally not too crazy about that car, but for some reason it looks good in those pics. Enjoy it!

Where were those pics taken? Looks like CA, but I see you are from NJ ...

Looking good:smile:
Our local Toyota dealership just got their franchise. We were the first to order an XB just last week. Should have it in about two weeks.
Black Sand Pearl, blue interior accent lights, alarm, 9 spokes, cargo cover, mats. Just under 16k. It's a lot of vehicle for the money.
