Hey guys my name is Ryan and I recently got a 2008 Scion xA in an inheritance from my mom. I can't wait to turn this into something beastly and was wondering how many people have done engine swaps on these cars?

I was also wondering if anyone knows of anything to get smells out of a car permanently. It has too many painful memories attached to it right now when I drive it.

 

You'll want to get full shampoo work done in order to get smells out. Also consider opening the dash, door panels and so forth, and then cleaning.

One trick I do with cars is I will drop an air freshener into the cabin air filter so that air incoming always smells good. Also, you can use fabric sheets, charge them up, and then stick to them to the cloth under the front seats. Stealthy air freshener install!

 

welcome..swaps have been done but you can some pretty nice power with the 1.5

 

2008 xA? ahem ...

 

Also. Something called Totally Awesome Spray. I usually find it at dollar stores. Let me just say. It got Tattoo Ink out of my white couch, it also works great on car upholstery. Eliminates Smells and Stains.
