This guy is blowin' smoke up our tailpipes! After hearing he did this, I had to look into it to see if this was true or not, and his profile shows this pic of the XRS in his 'xA', here's a screenshot of the page.
Look in the red circle, you'll see somebody suspect that the engine bay pictured is NOT the xA bay! Instead, Zillion thinks it's actually the Matrix engine bay and provides a pic to support his arguement, here's the image to that as well, with a comparison to the original pic from SCION_XRS.
Hm, look pretty similar, right? Look at the strut towers, specifically, as well as the placement of the battery tie. Also, radiator/fan tops look familiar, right?
I found a pic of the xA engine bay through Edmunds for comparison, and it just doesn't match up enough for me. The strut towers are almost entirely underneath the windshield, for one. The battery placement is off, with the ties not matching up in similar spots in the frame (supposedly). Here's a pic:
I'm gonna call BS on this one. The only way for me to believe this is if I see it myself, you're in Miami right? I'm only across the state, wanna meet? Heck, I'll drive across Alligator Alley myself! If it truly is an xA w/ XRS, I'll eat my words and st_u.

<<<<ok about you! Dont have nothing to do huh? Ok once again look closely and think..the battery was relocated because it was where the intake is suppose to go..thats what the guy from the dealer told me..i can imagine he wanted to be in tat position thats a rebuild when i did the swap i didnt even had a motor in the car it was just the car without nothing in the bay..he rebuilded the bay his way ok cuz not even the battery was there

hey tough guy I never called BS, in the contrary, I find it awesome that someone already did this, so slow your horses. I simply agreed that the pics didnt add up and mention running u as a friendly race to see how that xa runs. No offence, but i dont go to okee anymore, its not what it used to be and its not worth my time. Ohh and who said i have a TC, lol.
