Drey's build thread
I guess it finally a good time to make my build thread. I've joined SL just over 5 years ago when I got my 08' Flint Mica tC. I'm on here quite often I just don't post much. Anyways, its my daily car and it has been through a lot of changes. I wanted to go for all performance at first, but somehow ended up as stanced build I also have another project- my wife's 06' xB. I think I will just keep this one thread for both of our Scions.
Bought it brand new 10-11-07

Dropped on s-techs, Hotchkis sway bars and strut bar, painted stockies, badgeless garnish, VRD grills, HIDs, oem mud guards, s2000 antenna, 5% tint all around, dr. isotope short shifter, full red TBL.

Took a little break from modding, bought a new house and first 06' camo xB as a family car. Picked up set of JLine 10RL2 18x8/9 et 33/42. Stock suspension lol
11-12
B&G coilovers, OEM lip kit, Seibon CF fenders and hood, Hotchkis camber arms, JLine 18x9/10 et 17/10, TRD exhaust w/o tip lol

Some pics from 12' Scion Expo
^these are the last pics of wife's camo xB. Few months later it was totaled in the accident, but everyone was ok and it was replaced with another xB shortly. I didn't have much done to it just Raceland coilovers, Work emotion xd9 17x8.5 et 32, -3* camber shims and 25mm spacers, Yakima roof rack and some little things here and there. RIP.
And here is her new one 06.5. This time BOP,5 speed and already bagged
Work in progress. Currently sitting on 16x9 ESM 009R et15/0
Ok back to tC again. I'm in a process of doing wire tuck right now. I'm looking to do ABS and AC tuck, than shave and repaint my bay. Big thanks to Chris @ TBL Productions for doing my engine harness. Most recent pic, more to come.
Here is the last pic with CF front end at CCM15 with Sciontists:
Now back in all flint mica again.
And finally as she sits right now finally fitted right No more poke, tucking rims all around. Same specs just more camber. Just lowered it last weekend and already want moar low lol
This is it for now. Stay tuned...

Happen to have a how-to on the carputer? Like the look of the jlines. What part of texas do you live in btw? Nice looking rides and props to having a partner with the same interests as far as car modding!

Thanks y'all
I loved the sound when i had oem header on. Its ok if you stay off the throttle, but can get really loud between 2-3K The only video i have is this, i don't rev it there much but you can hear it at the last part of the video.
Carputer project has been long gone but here is my old thread on mp3car or here. I can only imagine what kind of stuff they have available on the market now. Im in Houston TX.

Well, I sold the Equips and went with Work Leadsleds this time. 18x11 all around F +10, R 0. Dont mind my front wheel gap, I had to raise it by 1/2 to clear my front coils. I will dial everything in this weekend and get my fronts to tuck again. Heres some pics taken by the others at ccm last weekend.
