Default Zeus_tC's Build Thread

Well after trading in our 08 xB on our F-150 about a year and a half ago my wife has missed it so much (especially since someone in town bought it). We went to look at used BMW 3-series and she loved the exterior, then sat down in one and was not impressed. I told her about the new RS 7 that came out not long ago, and that got her interested. We went right to Arlington Toyota and they had the keys waiting on us. She fell in love instantly, and we drove it home that evening.

The only one available had the leather interior package, and I am glad. We both like it better than the cloth seat design.

I am new to the site, but not new to modding. I have had a turbo Integra, and am currently building the engine in my Evo X for ~750whp. I did a few small things to the xB (TRD intake, exhaust, lighted door sills).

The plans for the car are small for now, even though she has already talked about the Descendant Turbo kit! I would like to start with a Redline goods interior upgrade, and have been thinking about the Descendant exhaust. It sounds the best to me and is not going to be too loud for the wife.

If you have any suggestions feel free to provide inputs.

thats good. i think everyone should make there own build. so when someone has a question. they dont need to always make another thread. just simply ask in there build and rename the title.



anyways. congrats on the rs7! hope your wife really enjoys it. my first priority on any car. drop it! im sure you know. coilovers are mad drop. s techs are lowest drop for spring and eibach sportlines in my opinion are the best drop if she doesnt want to go that low/

I wouldn't mind it a bit lower, but she already said no lower.

Welcome and I look forward to seeing what you do with your RS. Couple requests, if you don't mind. First, I'd like to see the leather package that comes with the RS. Second, I'd love to see some of your Evo X.

Again welcome!

Eibach Prolines are only a 1" drop. I'm on H-techs, which are about the same drop, and the height is great. Very rarely do I have issues with rubbing.

Evo looks good, but it's definitely a sleeper. And is that a bike I see in the garage?

You have some nice toys, sir!

EDIT: Just noticed you added interior pictures. Very nice. I agree, the leather looks much better than the yellow cloth on the RS.

No USA model Scions have a Toyota backed and tested Leather Package, only Canada. The kit installed on his would be something dealer specific.

So from the looks of it, dealer added fogs, leather & lip spoiler. I honestly don't know how they can call that monstrosity a lip spoiler? LoL No offense of course. Congratz on the new car. Can't wait for mine to come in this week!
