wish i could make wednesday nights but i can only do import wars

 

so guess who finally got a scion in our chapter?

 

def saw trungchau in lakeville

 

considering the filename is "mikexB2", my guess is going to be "Mike".

 

^ haha yeah that wasnt too hard eh

 

congrats mike hankes with your new xB RS5! the TRD wheels and TRD springs go together perfectly, especially with that color

 

congrats

 

just ordered my Hotchkis springs today hopefully I get them installed with struts by the end of the month.

 

I forgot to ask: did he get auto or manual? At some point I want to test drive an xB2 with the stickshift. I test drove an auto, and it was okay, but I didn't have as much control over the transmission (I tried the S setting, but it feels "wrong" with the shift delay and the lack of clutch pedal).

 

he got one of the only manuals in this region

 

awriite! I can't wait to see it in person. Maybe I'll have a good excuse next week since I'm on vacation. I need to get an oil change anyway, so that might be a good opportunity to spin by.

How's the install meet looking? IIRC we were targeting May 4th, but I might be wrong on that date.

 

i'm still curious what the gold looks like in person. in pictures the color varies from a light beige to sometimes a greenish-gold

 

the gold rush mica looks great in person in my opinion. looks a lot better than the pictures of that color

 

Agreed; you walk up to it, and it's like "GOOOOOOOOOLD!!"

I'm starting to get quite the list of parts to do. Eventually I'll want to put on the shift boots, which means I need to readjust the e-brake cable. I have the DME engine bay jewelry, TRD front strut tower bar, NST shift cable bushings, and I got the CF B-pillar appliques. I feel like I want to get some of these little ones done this Saturday if the weather's good.

 

Painted the 5-ZIGEN's that i bought for 60 now i just gotta find a used one for cheep even another 3 would b good so id have 4 for the car and 2 i could put drag radials on em. If anyone knows anyone with theses wheels LET ME KNOW! there common wheels just gotta find a good deal

 

Looks good man. I'll try not to mention anything about the overspray. A little bit never hurts.

 

lol those tires are as bald as f*ck so i didnt care about over spray. They came off a 350 AWHP subi so they were toast then they were on a 230whp celly and he fryed them more now i got them and im going to probaly wrap them in BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW NT

 

Lol I knew it didn't matter. Just being a *****. :D

 

lol E you would say something like that

 

Don't know what you're talking about.
