wow I can't beleave you put a transformer on your car, thats pretty cool. is it just a sticker?

 

Yeah, my kids gave me a transformer from Japan and it came with the sticker. I couldn't resist. :D

 

haha thats cool man, and your lucky the sticker was red, matches your car

 

Absolutely... red that is. :D

 

hope it doesn't come off in the rain

 

It's on real good. I even waxed it to help against Sun fade.

 

haha, wax it every once in awhile just to be sure

 

your kid gave you that? how old are you man? btw i dig the sticker, wish it's alittle bigger though........

 

How's the ride now with the TRD springs? Similar to stock? Softer, stiffer, same?

 

38 and my Son is 5. I actually ordered the transformer and gave it to my wife for the kids to give me. :D It's the new RX8 transformer and this one is a metal version not normally available in the US. All the packaging is in Japanese. I'm just a big kid.

The ride with the new springs is a bit stffer. Bigger bumps are a bit rough but overall it's a good ride. I haven't had a chance to push it in the corners yet.

 

thats awesome that you are all up into toys still

 

cool cool, let us know how you like those trd springs........

 

I think it still sits way too high but that's just me I guess.

 

I'm not into that slammed look. I wouldn't want it any lower but I might do spacers in the rear.

 

YES!!!!!!! I am EXACTLY the same way. . . I hate getting people who tell me to drop it 10 inches so I can make the underside of my car glow for free.

But honestly, after having the TRD's for awhile, I think the springs are a bit too stiff for my taste. It's not so much the bumps but rather the bounciness of the ride. . . but I don't think that it's so much the springs than the poorly matched OEM shocks, which can be fixed with better ones. I'm a big fan of TRD, and even although my springs are not dealer installed, they are semi-warrantee ok. They are OEM enough not to raise any flags to the dealer. I've been through the hassle of having modified parts cause problems. . . true the dealer has to pinpoint that your parts caused the problem, but my experience tells me that most dealers really don't bother with that clause.

 

then you call scion corp and they get in some trouble

 

Have you given your xA some sort of name now since you have an autobot sticker now?..hehe

 

how about istobot

 

haha, thats awesome!
