I like the k&n short ram typhoon air intake, good power increase, priced fair. goldllines are also nice springs, 2" drop at all 4 corners. 189.00 shipped to your door. www.scoinspecialties.com.

do your research!
do your homework!!!! its 82.7 to the wheels!!!! its 92 0r 93 to the flywheel. im not here to "BASH" scions im here to tell the truth. how come the scion commercials never say anything about 82 hp? oh sorry 92hp(to the flywheel) the car has been dyno'ed a bunch of times and the manual edition too. and it always comes out to less than 90hp. i guess thats why the latest scion commercial shows scions playing tag with humans. :D

stop lying to yourself, your the one thats wrong buddy. 108hp?! 108hp and scion have never been used in the same sentance. your the first! dont be ____ed cause your car has 82 horsepower. how can you be taken seriously when your car doesnt even have 100hp? answer that one!
