Hello. I have had my Scion xB for about 1.5 years now, and am about to start doing mods to it. Any place inparticular I should start? Any tips from people who have a lot done? I have an auto tranny, and the 2.4l 2AZ engine. Thanks for any and all input.

 

Wheels & tires, and a drop!

 

def wheels and tires first. If you stick with wheels only (16") like I did and use your tires, you can get some great rims from discount tire direct for $500-600 dollars.

 

Thanks for the tips... I saw a guy in Washington that had the gen2 about a year ago, and he had TONS of stuff done to his. B pillars, rims and tires, lowered, intake, exhaust, and some other cool stuff. Stereo was wicked, too. I work for Toyota now, but they don't sell Scion's yet, not until they move or add on the extra parking. I hope they do it soon. I was also wondering if there are any online stores here that might sell stuff. I also own a 2008 Toyota Yaris (1.5l 1nz-fe engine, with 5 gear manual) and they have several stores at YarisWorld. I was working on that car, but now it looks like that car will be gone this week, so I am going to start working on the Scion.

Also, is there a tip to get rid of some of the engine lag? On my Yaris, it disappeared after I added the CAI, header and muffler. Same general rules apply for the 2.4l engine? Does anyone have any extra parts they might want to sell?

 

check out the classifieds sections. i'm sure there's a lot of part outs on there. welcome to the forums and best of luck modding you're xB.

 

Welcome aboard. x2 on wheels and lowering
