that would be great if it melted!


and i'm josh if you couldn't tell by the huge sig. haha

 

Nice to see there are other people from Wisconsin here, though it seems like there is nobody near Eau Claire.

Let me introduce myself, I'm Sara and am a former VW groupie. After 211K on my Golf I decided it was time for a change. Originally I wanted a used Matrix but then after looking for a 5-speed and finding none I wandered into Marquart Toyota looking for a new Matrix, they didn't have any but the saleman said "well have you given Scions any thought?" After that it was a done deal, I was hooked.

Two days later after scouring dealerships for a manual transmission I found my car over in my hometown of Minneapolis. Crappy/good part (depending which way you look at it) is that the only 5-speed they had was the RS 6.0.

I really wanted the super white xB but alas none were to be had. The red is growing on me though.

So that is my mini-bio. The car remains mostly stock for now, I purchased a bunch of stuff off eBay and TRDsparks and am waiting to have it installed.

The only thing I have installed is the TRD quickshifter (with NST shifter bushings) which I absolutely hated at first but now that I got used to the precise "clunky" feeling I would never go back. Drove my mom's VW Bug the other day and it felt like miles until it hit the next gear.

 

Hola sara.

Yeah, the wisconsin scion people are largely scattered.

any questions just ask around. Everyone is helpful here.

 

Thanks!

What I have been trying to collect lately are opinions. I have been thinking about color matching my interior like last years RS. I bought the interior trim kit from Scion (4 door and audio/vent bezel), I am thinking I am for sure going to have my body shop color match the door parts but I am on the fence about the rest.

Has anyone else tried this in their Scion?

 

go for it, there are lots of people with painted interior pieces. I'll be doing mine this summer. my fave color is blue though

 

I'm thinking about doing the same with my RS6, when I get the damn thing. If you do, please post pics! Also, where do you get the NST bushings from? Thanks!

-JB

 

Where's your RS 6? I will definately post pics if and when I do it.

I bought the bushings directly from NST.

The dealer only had an auto. I had to order myself a 5-speed. Thanks for thelink!

When is yours coming in? Excited, is this your first xB too?

 

Welcome, welcome. Its funny cause I was also talked into my RS too when I was looking into a BCP tC instead but I would've had to order one. But I guess the advantage is that you stand out from the rest. Anywho congrats on the new xB!

 

The dealer said 7 - 10 days almost 2 weeks ago, so it's anybody's guess. This is my first xB, but not my first Scion. I had an '08 FM tC that was totaled from hitting a deer.

That's the main reason I wanted a RS. I never noticed so many FM tCs until I bought one. I like to stand out a bit.
