Scion at Sema
Good morning all so i dont know ifYou are aware but scion showed up n force at Sema this year i have put some of the pictures i found for you to see
Center-Drive Scion
A stereo system’s “sweet spot” is typically right in the middle of the speakers, but the driver and passengers are usually sitting too close to the speakers on one side of a vehicle and too far away from the ones on the opposite side. Which is why Chris Roberts created his center-drive ’05 Scion xB, with a single front and rear seat in the front in the middle of the interior, and the steering wheel and pedals are positioned accordingly. On each side of the steering wheel is a teardrop-shaped panel with instrument cluster on the left and the shifter and air-suspension system on the right, while on the floor is real marble tile. Flanking the centered rear seat are four Alpine amplifiers, while four 10-inch subwoofers are arrayed behind the rear seat.
BRS Twin-Turbo Tundra Powered RWD xB
The title says it all for this one. BRS’ Leigh Guarnieri has outdone himself, and that’s saying quite a bit since his turbocharged Honda Fit was a big hit at last year’s SEMA Show. Using mounts provided by K2 Motoring, some ingenuity and a sprinkling of divine inspiration, Guarnieri shoehorned a 4.7-liter Tundra V8 into the diminutive xB. The built V8 is boosted by a Peak Boost GT35-R-based turbo kit that positions the turbos right next to the headlight assemblies. Tuning is handled by an AEM EMS engine management system. The VIP Forged Alloy wheels are temporary as the final products will measure a staggering 20x15 and 20x20 with huge lip. Wilwood six-piston calipers and 15-inch rotors are in charge of halting the humongous Pirelli gumballs. The Scion has been converted to rear-wheel drive with a Ford 9-inch rear-end and custom four-link suspension set-up. Too bad all the Scion could do was sit in Mobil 1’s booth because this monster would be something to see at the strip or on the drift.
