Default Wanted: Stuff for my xB

I've upgraded the CAI recently...I want MORE.....I'm still underpowered due to the dang TRD 18" wheels -- I want a different grille and tail and headlights....

Anyone recently upgraded their upgrades in the Dallas area?

I want to keep this xB for a LONNNNNG time, so I would love to make it more ME

Come to our Scion shows so you can get some ideas and get to talk to the "wise modders" here. Keep an eye out on the show list. See you around. BTW, I live in Coppell and I frequent Scion of Lewisville.

yeah you missed a great show last night to get Ideas for your xB. Nice to know there is someone else in L'ville who drives a box and gives a care. Most everybody I've seen in scions up here are pretty much retired or on their way. Check out the show coming to our town at the end of the month.

Underpowered? getting a crank pulley helps, as it revs the engine easier and faster.

Greasy pig would be a welcome change....I don't really enjoy too much slamming my foot through the floorboard to accelerate....I know I'm not going to set any landspeed records with this thing....not really the intent...Hell, if I had wanted all that power and speed, I never would have traded the beloved Explorer for the box, or the eclipse turbo for the explorer before that.....But, I do know there are a few simple mods I can do to make it more responsive, and peppy, and AWAKE....Almost considered taking the TRD wheels off and going back to stock steelies, but....where is the fun in that??? Looks dang good with these things on there.

If baby sister's dang ol' new beetle can pop my head back accelerating from a dead stop....I KNOW this thing can do it.....
