Here are some images of my 06 Xa, a work in progress. I love the car, I always wanted a car with superb handling now I almost have it with the modifications I've made. Thanks for looking. Robert http://www.geocities.com/xetor_2000/scionxa.html

wow... what do all those funky gauges do?

Like the outside but too much stuff on the dash. That tack is huge!

The instrument above the Tach is a Beltronics VX-2 it measures G force when cornering and braking :http://www.beltronics.com/fx.html.Its great fun to watch on a twisty road. That's how I know the car can pull .95G. The instrument that you can see thru the stearing wheel is a GPS. As for way too much on the dash, I say what dash? It's just empty space that begs for something.Even though my cars an automatic when on twisty mountain roads I shift manuely. The tach in the center of the dash is useless when your trying to watch the road.I wanted a big gauge I could read quickly. As you know the powerband on these cars is narrow,coming on @ 4K to the red line ,I find I use it every day.

i've been told that shocks and struts will also help to make a big difference with the setup you have. did you look into a g-tech pro meter before all the other stuff?

it looks like it could turn off gravity. lol.

I bought the g-meter after I lowered the car and changed the tires;test reports I read on the Xa stated that it would only pull .69 G with the stock tires and setup. At .69G now it dosen't even feel like your going round a corner,the car corners very flat and steers very precisely. With just a few relatively inexpensive modifications these cars can be made to out corner 90% of whats on the road today.

you should also consider the front energy suspesion polyurethane endlink bushings. it really does tighten up the steering some too. others can vouge for this as well.

I love your rims, what are they? What size?

comedykills

those are optional Scion Alloys and they are 15s ........ all that car is missing is a flux capacitor

I really like the optional scion alloys, nice looking IMO

autozone has them you'll need to get new bolts there is a thread here on scionlife listing all the stuff you need. as well as how to put them in. cost is low about $20 i think. you can also order them from www.summitracing.com its a universal endlink bushing.

Really like the outside look of your ride !

I'm going to put a Garmin GPS unit on my xA about the same place as you have the big tack meter.

Just do a quick search for xA swaybar end link bushings and you'll get the part number that you need. Most Autozone stores have them in stock. You'll also need 4" grade 8 bolts (2) and nylon lock nuts (2 as well). It's a super easy install that will really tighten up the front end. Helps with body roll and steering precision as well.

BTW - Nice to see there's an older fart than me hanging out with the kids here.

great work in progress. those extra gauges are a bit much but then again its your preference.
