Hello All,

I've been a long time viewer of scionlife.com but never actually posted. I figure after almost a year of reading scionlife why not start posting? I'll have my first post be one of entertainment rather than a request for help. Here's a little xA commercial I made for fun. Yes, I know this isn't considered drifting so please dont' start a discussion of whether FF cars can drift or not. I know I know... However, it's pretty fun to do! Let me know what you guys think.

It's a 11mb download so right click and save target as or just be patient.

hahah that was pretty cool..what cam and editor u using?\

 

nice. looked fun to drive.

 

Nicely done. Good production and good driving skills.

 

Dang!!! It moves nice. You got some good skills doh.

 

NIce Excellent skills. Looks like a scene from the Italian Job at night. The RS1.0 xA and xBs may not allow such driving finesse. VSC will make sure of it...I think. Dear Scion...mini RWD drift car please to all the KornerKarvers in us. Thanks.

 

Cool... but I have to ask....

How much did it cost to have them come out?

 

Nice job.

 

sweet drift session!

You should have added a 180 -> reverse into the mix, that would have been awesome :D

 

hahahaha. . . I don't think our cars would like that very much (if you are in a manual), as it doesn't like to shift into reverse while you are already in motion, unless you just coasted. He did to a reverse, then 180 to forward tho.

1 question to Si-on, are you driving a 5spd or an auto?

 

Sounds like a 5spd since you can hear the engine bouncing off the rev limiter~

 

sweet vid... to bad its an XA.... j/p lol...
sweet nonetheless.. sweet vid!!

 

Awesome

 

I feel so proud to own an xA now!! LOL! Awesome man!

 

Hahaha wow this is getting a lot more replies than I expected! Thanks for all the great comments guys keep them coming :p ! If any of you guys know guys at Scion's advertising agency please swing this on by to them. Seriously, I would love to be in a Scion commercial! hahaha

For your questions...
I used windows movie maker and adobe premiere.

Believe it or not most of the shots were with a small digital camera then cleaned up in video editors.

djct_watt is right. Doing a 180 to a reverse will be major damage to your tranny.

It's a manual. Doing this with an automatic is extremely hard considering how much power (or how little) our engine's make.

And no the car was not bouncing off the rev limiter. That was probably throttle modulation you were probably hearing.

Thanks again for all the great comments!

 

it's Back to the Future 4 Made me wonder where the "Doc" was?

seriously, that looks fun.

 

SCHWEEEEEEEEEET!!! you were really zinging that rascal around

 

Good job. What mods do you have, or is it stock?

 

Do one for the tC. tC. tC. tC.

 

hahahaha thats freakin sweet @$$ man!!! yeah that ruled!!!
