Hey Guys,
I am new to the forum as well as new to the Scion community. I live in SoCal, and work for Performance NIssan of Duarte. Also known as www.mynismo.com I am a parts specialist and am a Nissan Finatic, but life changes and you have to go with the flow and adjust to it. Ironically, i end up with a Scion, After having such a awesome sports car. No Regrets though. :) I have loved the Scion Xb since the first day that i saw it. I have an 95 240sx with a jdm sr20det in it and love it. But i drive too far to get to work everyday and needed a more economical car.... the Scion seemed to be my favorite of solutions to my dilemmna. Unfortunaltly, I am gonna have to get rid of my Silvia. I will miss it dearly, miss it's power, handling, and overall feel.
But i do look foreward with a big smile at my new scion and how sweet it really is.
I don't regret anything about it. Love it all the way. Only hope i can get it to move a little faster. Anyone been able to quarter-mile the car yet, or dyno it stock, then with the basic intake, header, exhaust combo?

Thanx Guys,
-Alex B.

Did you ever drift that car?

I've brought over some silvias and skylines for people, those were funnnn cars to slide around a parking lot in.

Welcome. For a 5 speed, 17.0-.2 seems to be the best so far. The auto's are about a second slower. Stock dyno's seem to be 85-90 whp.
