I just wanted to introduce myself and say Hi
my girlfriend and i just pick up are scion xa. we traded in a slow PT Cruiser for the xa and added all of the trd parts which includes...
-the struts and shocks
-lowering springs
-intake
-exhaust
-clucth plate
-short throw shifter

all parts are installed except for the clutch assem. because it is on back order

let me tell you this car is fun to drive and i look forward continue making it faster.

 

congratulations and welcome to the family. do you have pics of your car? if so post them.

 

not yet, i can't seem to find my digital camera. but when i do find i'll post some pics

 

Are u saying the PT is slower than the xA?

 

They are if you don't have a turbo PT!

 

yeah the automatic pt cruiser is much slower then the 5 spd xa, a lot more fun to drive aswell and more easily upgradable.

 

Another xA owner! You are the sixth (? I lost count!) new xA owner in the last two or three weeks!

 

i know i'm biased and still in the honeymoon phase, but i picked my xA up on saturday and i totally LOVE it. i offer to drive anywhere and everywhere!

 

I've had mine for two months, 2200 miles, and I still totally LOVE it. I get excited every time I see it.

 

Lots of IIP xAs showing up in the area... hopefully we don't end up parking in the same lot one day and accidentally end up trying to get into the other's car

 

That's why you need to mod it so it won't happen

 

I've got a new 2006 PW xA coming to the lot in two weeks for me! I'm soooo excited. I want to hug it.

M-Flo, this is off topic, but are your windows tinted/what % front/rear? I like the look but can't tell if it's tint or not.

 

AMEN.

This is my first brand-new car and I am scared to death to leave it anywhere or park it within two miles of any other car.

 

This is my first brand new car too...My parents are buying it for me as a one last huzzah before I go out on my own.

My parents said they knew they were in for it when we went to see a pony to buy when I was nine and I hugged her...I got the pony, and had her for six years.

So when I hugged the xA when I saw it on the lot my dad just shouts from where he's standing with the sales guy: "Oh, come on, NOT AGAIN!"

but I seriously do want to hug it and wrap it in bubble wrap because it's my new baby.

 

That's a really old pic of my car, and no it does not have a tint though it's on the list of things to do!

Congrats on the PW xA. It's definitely one of the best colors for the xA along with IIP.

 

RED is the best color I thought everyone knew that.

 

Yeah, the PW is a good color. I usually hate white cars, but for some reason it looks good on the xA. Perhaps because its so small. No comparison to IIP, though.

 

Yay.. I just got my Xa and lovin it!!.. springs, rims and short shifter go on this weekend

 

Yeah i just got mine 2 weeks ago and i love it i already posted pics of my car in the show off area.
