Congratulations to those who have ordered the RS1.0, you now have another reason to celebrate!!! Scion has just released a new addition to your RS1.
You will now be receiving the PIONEER 6DISC CHANGER, For FREE!!!!

Thats right, your RS will be upgraded at no additional charge!!!

So your $980 package now includes--

Hot Lava metallic strut tie bar
Orange interior & cupholder lighting

Preach it Doc!!!!

Don't forget to tell the caller's that if they call in the next fifteen minutes they'll include the steering wheel for free too :wink:

I heard that Tropicana was looking for a 1.0 to sponser and make into their version of the Oscar-Meyer "Wienermobile." They want to stick a big straw out of the top and paint it like a juice carton!

I emailed them but they havent answered back yet. My next choice will be MinuteMaid, who is actually, Coke, so that might be a phat sponsorship....
"Box is It" thats the slogan!!!



Doc

Good find Doc, puts a big smile on my face. :D Now just cant wait to get that sucka. :wink:

Yep, confirmed that same thing - I am so freakin happy about this purchase and will hang low until she arrives, meanwhile I am looking for a Metal Worker who is really skilled at working with that diamond plating ( Hmmmm, what can be in store for this Lava Box ? ) ... Also looking for some rims !


Thanks Doc !


It keeps getting better and better ! Also has anyone heard of a possible Orange Leather Steering Wheel ????? That would really sweeten the pie !

This is great! 8)

Do you have a link for where you got this nifty bit of info?

thats awsome since the changer is really worth it if you arent planning to go aftermarket. and even if you are, those mrspyder guys will buy it off you for decent money. plus the color change is amusing!

That is awesome!! Where do you find this stuff? Gosh, I wonder if they will just keep adding stuff, that would be awesome!

Awoohoo! I said Awoohoooooo! I can't wait to get my RS 1.0! DibujoB is just jealous...hehehe

Where'd you hear about this anyways???

I got the mail from a "FRIEND", I am sure it is solid info, have any of you dealers heard this? Jay, Drew, V? Back me up guys!

But yea, I plan to go aftermarket. And I would hesitate to sell it though. I always save my factory parts so I can put them back later on if I need to.

I am really excited, Scion is really making this RS worthwhile!!!

Very nice Doc. I'm still happy driving my Cherry xB around all day long :D :D :D :D 756 miles in 3 days and counting

don't worry Munch, you will get sleepy soon and you can take a break from driving and take a nap!

did you wax it yet? the Black Cherry are Sweet when waxed up nicely 8)

I hate computers...I was IMing doc, and then my computer got all messed up and now my AIM won't work.

Anyway, I emailed corp today asking about this, but I haven't heard anything about it yet.

Nah not yet. I'm not gonna wax it till it gets warm here. That's in about 6 more weeks :(

Dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Nothing like getting desert for free after the all you can eat buffet. To the SCION big wigs, thanks, and ill take another helping of desert if you feel up to giving more stuff out. :wink:

damn, the rs 1.0 is going to better buy then a stock xB.

It already is!!! Just for being Orange!!!



Doc

I have to give credit to the Scion Folks ...... Thanks for upgrading the sound system ! Any chance to do a small upgrade on the steering wheel ? You might as well do it right for advertising reasons ......

You know that these Lavas will draw attention and you cab bet your bottom dollar I will be sending many folks to my local dealer ...

It is nice to get a few extra perks .... Makes us Lava Owners Proud !

Any chance for a few hats, shirts and goodies ?

Thats what im hoping for, hats, t's, all the good stuff. If not, then that is what Ebay is for.

Now i know i have to talk to the local dealer about installing the cruise control, ill have 6 cds to listen to, i need somewhere to drive to ..... maybe to see MUNCH, and show him what he could have had if he didnt listen to his wife. :lol:

Hi ho, hi ho, its up the Turnpike i go .........

Hehehe I don't have any regrets. I love my Cherry xB :D

Beside by the time you get yours, mine will be just about finished with mods :wink:

Im so ready to start modding mine, im gonna start to order the stuff and have it in my garage waiting for the rs1 to get here.

Has anyone else checked out Scion's website with the pics of the RS.1? I checked it out again today since I put down my money for the vehicle and they have a new close shot of the engine compartment with the tie bar and it has the CAI in orange. Does anyone know if it going to be an option outside of the normal package or is it also going to be another nice extra in the RS.1?

I noticed that as well, you know if it is the picture then in my opinion it should be included, would that not be kinda like misleading ....... if it was not included !

I have such a great feeling that Scion will take care of those who have the Lava coming !

Hey CB - May I ask what mods your planning on tackling ?

Bill

It is my understanding that Lava intake will not be a standard feature of the RS... though it is in the pictures and it looks good, I assume it will be available as an option. I have been told that it is against Federal Law for a dealer to sell a car with a CAI on it because it alters the original condition, which is the same condition that was tested for the EPA.
So it would have to be sold as an aftermarket item...


Doc

yeah there is a law about it but i think its just a california c.a.r.b. law. when i was first shopping the box (late june) all the salesmen got all ____y(cause they would lose sales over it) when i would ask about the aem inake and install cost. (500+ at some stores) and also toyota would kick back any credit apps with the intake included on them. so if you wanted one it was coming out of your down.

along this line of thought. wouldnt it be cool if all the scion performance parts from trd(or at least sold via dealer) were orange! kind of like all the subaru sti parts being hot pink?

i dunno it would be following and all but i think it would be cool. Imagine reworked scion badges (to maybe indicate a turbo model :wink: ) orange in the middle to stand out against whatever your body color was. or changing the trd springs to orange. this could be simple enough couldn't it?

Im going with an interesting combo .....

1. Wheels .....
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=38662&item=2457212674

Im going to upgrade the tire to Yoko's. Im thinking 215/40R17s

2. Tails ....
http://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=6347

3. Black Powder Coat Injen intake.

4. Rear cargo mat, covers entire rear with seats folded

5. Shaved emblems ( i know this is gonna include the dealers advertising too )

6. Clear the corners

Thats pretty much it. Maybe some coilovers in the future. I cant get too crazy, it is after all, a business car. :wink:

Doc was right...again.

Scion.com now has the 6cd changer listed as included with the rs1. It also has the AEM orange cold air intake as an option.

I might have to get that just for the color...

Nice job Doc! :D

Does the 6 disc changer play mp3s?

Does the 6 disc changer play mp3s?

Yes...



Doc

I might have to get that CAI too if it does in fact come in Hot Lava orange. I was planning on going with an aftermarket like Injen, but why not go with the TRD one!?
Woohoo! :D

I drive too fast for an orange box - way too easy to spot. I'll probably get more tickets anyway. Glad you guys are getting so many goodies thrown in though. Makes the special edition that much more special.
