[col:f4185e02a2]XAonair's Blue Onyx xA
It's all right on his license plates, folks: "SIKSION". Jesse takes pride in his craftsmanship from his career to his ride. Almost every mod performed on this innocent little xA was done in his garage with his sweat and his blood.
During the day Jesse is a fabricator at Jackson guitars, cranking out one perfect masterpiece after another. After spending all his time with that hard metal soaked in deep gloss he decided to begin a new project: his fresh Scion xA.
The first thing Jesse did was ditch the stock suspension to install a luxury ride that would keep his butt happy on the SoCal freeways and also allow him to turn more than a few heads in the local parking lot. He crafted a 115psi air system powered by a pair of Viair 280cc compressors and grounded by a custom fab'd three gallon air tank behind the rear bumper. Half-inch Sarai valves all around combined with half-inch lines make sure the front strut bags and rear 2500lb Conni bags pump and release instantaneously.
Jesse's second priority was the interior, since that is what he was going to have to stare at for the rest of this relationship. Eyeballs are happier with an LCD screen than with a dull radio, so the stock deck was ditched for a 7" monitor in the central location. An Alpine head and DVD player is stashed securely in the storage pocket area. A custom fiberglass center console is being created right now, where another, smaller monitor will be housed for the back seat passengers. He also ripped out the interior headliner and replaced it with a sweet tweed material with raised flames.
You can't have a good video system without a bumpin' audio system, so a fiberglass sub enclosure was fitted to the spare well and matched with a 10" Pyle Red Label square woofer. Enough power is produced by the Crossfire TEK 75.2 amp to keep ears tingling for hours.
Jesse hasn't focused on the exterior yet, saving that for the time that a better selection of products are available. A set of Enkei RS6s were bolted on and some vinyl flames were slapped on the sides for a little more neck-snapping action.
With the scarcity of xAs on the road you can bet that Jesse is giving more than his share of whiplash injuries when he rolls down the street!
