Hey yall...the name's George

my wife and I are expecting our first baby girl in January, so my wife wanted a more roomier car than her 04 Civic coupe...

she loves the xB's so we went out and test drove them...she loved them so much and I was really impressed by the roomyness of them that we ended up getting it...

so yeah...

my car's an 03 Mach 1 Mustang that I've modded a bit and race alot...

I would like to do some minor mods to her car, just to get her a little more uniqueness to it...so hope yall don't mind some annoying newb questions

looks like a good site so far...so I look forward to post whoring it up with you guys (and gals) in the future

 

Welcome to the Life... and congrats on the baby and the new car.. If you have questions please ask.. but a word of advice.. so you dont get somone jumping down your throat about a question.. do a search first.. But we are always glad to help.. Got any ideas of what you are going to do to your wifes car to make it more uniquie?

 

whoo, welcome to the community, George.
and congrats on the baby girl.

i suggest browsing around the tech HOW-TO's a lot to get ideas of what kinds of stuff people do inexpensively.
debadge is in order. and so is the cabin air filter insert.

anyway, have fun modding!

 

welcome to our huge family

 

welcome aboard........and enjoy the box.

 

I'm pretty modest when it comes to modding, so we won't be doing anything major...it's not like it's a performance car and it won't be used for that so no performance mods in mind

she wants to add a wing...nothing too ricey as I am deathly against rice =(

and then some nice rims and limo tint all around...I suggested to lower it, but the streets around where we live would wreak havoc on the suspension and a careless turn could end up scraping or worse...and it's her car so I'd rather not

 

i actually would suggest some naturally aspirated performance mods on the box. it seriously helps the engine breathe a lot better and makes it a bit peppier for daily driving. doesn't feel like it's bogging down.

for a wing, OEM isn't too shabby. bBist's wings are also very good, and they have a more aggressive feel to them.

 

Welcome! Lots of good information on this site. I would say start with tint then wheels, then move on to other things. That would add a lot to the look of the xB.

 

Welcome George
But if you're going to talk this way You're going to have to go to the SciKOtiCs page

 

Since it's the baby's ride, I'd say replace the rear shocks with Monroe to soften it up a little. And put in either a real or homemade pollen filter.

 

I don't wanna do performance mods at all cause it's no where near a performance car...

so they'll all be show mods for the most part...better shocks are a good idea, thank for that

 

Welcome to the forums George.

My recommendations...

Tanabe DF210 2" lowering springs with Monroe shocks from a 2000 Echo. The drop is just right and it will ride better than stock.

And if you are looking for a super subtle wing check out the Garson DAD wing for the JDM bB. Probably the only wing I would ever consider, and I absolutely HATE wings. Pretty expensive at $330 though.

 

Congrats, I bought my XB about 5 months before we had our first baby girl as well. I needed a four door to transport the little one and this was a perfect fit. Style, roominess and great price. I miss my 85 el camino, but this is more fun to drive.

 

welcome...con grats...im also new....this site has a lot of usefull info....read on and post up
