hi, my name is Josh from az. I'm new to the scion world but defiantly no new to the Toyota world. I've owned about 17+ Toyota's from the first three generations of 4runner's to a 450 horse 87 supra. my current Toyota is a lifted 98 4runner that I built a custom rear mount turbo kit on. I'm the lead tech at the Hyundai dealership in my town. so anyway my wife's 07 Siena was killing us in fuel so it was time to trade her in. I started looking the lot and found a 2012 stingray metallic xb with only 4 thousand miles on it that just got traded in so I tookit home that night for 16k. not bad for a new xb. and I told them to throw in some enki's





his and hers Toyota's (my 98 rear mount turbo 4runner)

 

Sweet ride.....why don't u wanna work for toyota or do u but can't do to various circumstances

 

Welcome, yoterman87! Make sure to browse the forum for more info about your car and feel free to post any specific questions you have about your vehicle in the tech sections.

 

Thanks you guys. I would work for Toyota but there isn't one in my town. :D plus workin on commission I need work and Toyota's don't need to be worked on. Lol. But Hyundai does make a really good car now. Lol.

So after a few months of nagging the wife I just went and bought an intake, axle back pipe and some df210's. Lol

Welcome! Pretty looking xB. I was wondering how long it would take for you to lower it.

 

Rear took about ten minutes. Literally. Lol. Front about 30. But I am a auto technician and h have a full shop at my disposal.:D

Welcome!

Sounds like you got a good deal to me. Nice that they threw in those rims. I wish dealers were just like that here in CT. Anyways, I wish that you + wife enjoy it!

 

Looks nice lowered! It seems like your wife is a car enthusiast, or... is it you? LOL. Nice work.

 

Yeah the rear is a gimmie. That's about how much time it took me to complete the whole tasks.

What I originally meant was how long it would take you to want to lower it. I think lowering springs is a majority of everyones first mod!

 

Got my lenses tinted today

They look good!! I love that mod and wish I could do it, but man is that an expensive ticket waiting to happen. I had my tails and headlights tinted (and limo tint all around) in my 350Z and got pulled over in Kingman for all. You know some insurance companies counted that ticket against me when I was looking around at quotes? Crazy.

What part of AZ do you live in? And also, welcome to the forums (a little late, but better than never lol). We are glad to have you here.

 

I live in cotonwood. The cops are pretty chill here. They don't even have emissions laws here hence the rear mount turbo setup I did on my 4runner running a gutted cat.



As long as you can see the brake lights in the day light they are fine. I had them way darker in my old Tacoma.

Huge fan of that xB! Love the color and the wheels, tint looks good too.

 

Ah, alright. I'm in Phoenix. I hate emissions. =(
