Hey DON,

Thanks for the compliment on the driving lights. They were a bit of a pain, but the payoff was very nice. I am very fussy about doing the modifications correctly.I have a thread in the General xA section talking about it a little bit if you are interested.

Thanks again,
Johncal

suspension mods are great! i definitely agree... a well tuned suspension contributes sooo much to the driving experience! and as far as straight line, in my opinion even my little 1nz can get the job done... for now

"BTW Jessica, do you have ANY friends,?"

Oooohhhh I got served! Hahaha grow up. Sport Rider Magazine May 2005 Kawasaki ZX-10R 9.78@148.5. You should be wise enough to know by now that 0-60 and quarter miles times are about traction and not nearly as much about speed. The trap speed i.e.148.5 shows the speed and power of the vehicle. But if that is what you want to try and hide behind, feel free.

Like I just told you the time is about traction and you just proved me right in another comparison hahaha 143vs145. All the time is about is which bike gets more traction and can keep their front wheel on the ground. Clearly old doesnt always mean wise. ZX-10R Faster. Busa Longer wheel base with more weight for added traction.

It's just about posting the right information for others viewing this thread. This isn't about competition between us.

I guess your first response to this thread (2nd one down) "anyone ___ enough to admit it? haha jk" really shows just how interested in posting the right information is to you.

Why don't you appologize to all of us for the inappropriate comments and repeatedly arguing about anything you can, stay ON TOPIC, and we will be happy to have you give us that "right information"

No one was responding to the thread so I post a joke to bump up the thread again and you want me to apologize? Did you miss the HAHA Just KIDDING part? What do you think just kidding means? I guess you just lack a sense of humor.

Guys,

Let's just kill this thread DEAD right now and hope Jessica goes away. The only thing we have found "supercharged "here is her ego

When I was at Scion of El Cajon we put the Blitz s/c in our 2004 xB project car. It worked well and we didn't have any problems. I would never have spent my own money on it (if I wanted a fast car I wouldn't have bought an xB) but since I wasn't paying it was a blast. Made the car even more unique and, yes, even a bit faster.

The clutch which lets you select when the boost kicks in is fun, it's a super clean install and I'd recommend it if you have the $$$ with nothing else to spend it on (I can come up with alternate ideas for you to spend your money!)

When we dropped the car off at Blitz they let us drive the supercharged xA they built for 2003 SEMA, and it was an absolute blast!!!! Blitz exhaust, CAI, upgraded suspension. With the xA being lighter it made even more of a difference.

Looks like "Jessica's" man is using her computer again and making soooo many friends here at SL. Do you ever have anything nice to say? I doubt it...If you want to see what a real a$$ that he or "Jessica" is just go to the Lambo Doors thread. Better yet, go to all the posts that have come form the Jessica screen name and you will see what I mean. Let's start a "Ban Jessica thread because of her idiotic boyfriend!" I bet the response would be overwhelming. Quit coming to these threads and bashing everyone and everything that Scion stands for. Good bye...

I cant help it all you Scion people are so fun to mess around with. Everyone instantly gets butt hurt around here. If you cant have fun on these forums its not my fault. Get some *****. Okay I promise thats my last post, she is starting to get angry that I'm giving her a bad name on here. Enjoy those screamin' hot Scions its more fun to point and laugh in person anyways. You could always look at it this way, _______s are like opinions everyone has one but most of them stink. So just think of me as an _______. Like I care.......Peace!

I know I said I wouldn't post again but since its an honest question and I dont think there will be any flaming involved I'm game.
Currently a Lingenfelter Z06. Handles great and has nice power.
Previously (my baby) 1994 Toyota Supra w/a T74single and a bunch of other stuff. Black on Black 6speed. Loved that car. Both very different and they both have their ups and downs.
Next up is a Heffner TwinTurbo Viper. Blue with white stripes. Mmm mmm cant wait, but that is going to have to be next year. Ive been checking things out on it and the goal is going to be 1400rwhp, should be a beast.
