View Full Version : From fully modded WRX, to brand new xB! Hello, my name is...

Hello all,

Just wanted to take a minute and introduce myself. I currently have a highly modified WRX done up like a tarmac spec WRC car, but with the car going in for more "surgery" hopfully this winter, it was time I get another ride while mine is being wrenched on...

My wife and I chose the xB!!! It's already ordered and just waiting for it to come in. I can't wait!!!

The xB is really "her" car, and I promised myself (and her) that I would not modify it, but that's becoming next to impossible. I've never kept a car stock in my life, he he he. Thanks to this great site (and the whole ScionLife community in gerneral), I already find myself searching for hours on what to mod next. There is so much information here and a love for this car that I already feel right at home.

Since I tend to go to the Nth degree on my car projects, my wife has agreed to let me modify the xB, but with some provisions...

She gave me the green light to get wheels/tires/suspension/exhaust, and some other stuff so far (trust me, I'll coax more out of her :) ), but it has to be 100% streetable since it will be her daily driver. I'm already coming up with "the list", which is getting easier to make thanks to the wealth of information found on this site.

So all in all, I just wanted to say hello to the whole ScionLife community, and thank you as well, for providing such a pleasant place to learn about these awesome cars...

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!

Yeah, I really can't wait to get he xB and start "making it mine", er, I mean, making it my wifes, he he he.

I'm sure I'll be able to come with something that works for both of us. After all, she did give me a good starting point with the wheels/tires/suspension/exhaust, etc.

I'm already making my list :)

Now if I can only finish the list on the WRX I'll be in good shape (still waiting on custom parts from overseas), he he he.

Again, thanks for the warm welcome!!!

Funny you say that. I am from Jersey, but live in the midwest, courtesy of the US Air Force...

I've always wanted to take the WRX to Jersey to visit my folks, but last time I visited I flew there...
