Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaa...................... which Toyota/Scion dealer did you get yours?

So happy with the Xb's capacity to carry stuff!! I'm moving to our apartment and it can fit 4 18gal/sterilites!!! With room to spare!

Comments:
I think the Xb needs work in it's breathing so it can reach 65mph faster, and also i feel that the engine wants to breath more but can't! So i think intake and exhaust needs an upgrade------soon!!

Will a K&N filter help? so I will not ruin the warranty of the car? I availed of the extended 4 year maintenance plan. Even if I want to upgrade to a cold, short ram intake--I'm afraid they might void the warranty?

sorry for my FOB questions, but i'm new here in America and do not know how thing goes. Back home in PI we can do anything to the engine w/o any problems. So could you please elaborate which i can and can't do so I will maintain the warranty of the car?

Thanks for the Help!!

WELCOME!
There's tons of good info on this site, if you get the itch to start mod'n...

CHECK OUT THE TECH SECTION
https://www.scionlife.com/tech/
(at the top, mouse Features, and drop to 'tech')

ABOUT THE SEARCH
becasue of the breadth of info on this site, it may take a few tries to get your search to return the right results for you. play with different keyword combos, and remember a) the mods try very hard to keep things organized by category, so you can safely limit your search to the right sub-forum, and b) new threads about a previously discussed topic will likely be locked quickly, and a mod doing so will almost always provide the link to the 'definitive' thread on the subject, so locked threads are actually quite useful in a search.

ok, first of all, welcome, and second of all, YES these things can climb. as far as chains, you'd need to search... there was a very extensive thread on just that subject.

I picked up a 5 speed '06 Shadow Mica xB on Monday, November 27.

Plans include Tanabe springs, 17" wheels, and a rear sway bar. Very impressed with the car thus far. I love the fact that around town if feels just like my RX-7.

Hi everyone. I've been lurking on lots of Scion forums for the past month because I was looking to buy a used xB and wanted as much info as possible. I finally found one and just got it 2 days ago. I'm so in love, its crazy. Its a 2005 in thunder cloud metallic and has lots of the optional stuff like the 6 disc CD changer, spoiler, LEDs under the seats etc. I have tentative plans for intake, exhaust, etc but need to get through the holidays first. Bleh. Anyway, lurking is sort of creepy so I thought I would say hi. Here is a picture. I know its at night so not so great but I know people like pics soo....



(P.S.-My boyfriend and I live near Little 5 Points in Atlanta)
