Hello. I have had my Scion xB for about 1.5 years now, and am about to start doing mods to it. Any place inparticular I should start? Any tips from people who have a lot done? I have an auto tranny, and the 2.4l 2AZ engine. Thanks for any and all input.

Wheels & tires, and a drop!

def wheels and tires first. If you stick with wheels only (16") like I did and use your tires, you can get some great rims from discount tire direct for $500-600 dollars.

Thanks for the tips... I saw a guy in Washington that had the gen2 about a year ago, and he had TONS of stuff done to his. B pillars, rims and tires, lowered, intake, exhaust, and some other cool stuff. Stereo was wicked, too. I work for Toyota now, but they don't sell Scion's yet, not until they move or add on the extra parking. I hope they do it soon. I was also wondering if there are any online stores here that might sell stuff. I also own a 2008 Toyota Yaris (1.5l 1nz-fe engine, with 5 gear manual) and they have several stores at YarisWorld. I was working on that car, but now it looks like that car will be gone this week, so I am going to start working on the Scion.

Also, is there a tip to get rid of some of the engine lag? On my Yaris, it disappeared after I added the CAI, header and muffler. Same general rules apply for the 2.4l engine? Does anyone have any extra parts they might want to sell?
