Hello, new here. Totalled my 04 Mazda 3S Hatchback on the 5th of march =(




Went out last Saturday and got an 08 xB in Black.


Put the JVC KW-AVX800 double din on Sunday, and now put my wheels on today.

 

Welcome!!

And how do you like the xB2 compared to the mazda3s? I'd imagine the 3s handles better... But there are ways to make your xB2 handle better! ;)

 

welcome

 

yeah the 3 handled better, and it had leather interior, sunroof, magnaflow cat-back exhaust... it was faster... but the scion is going to be fun =) i also prefer the brakes of the 3 compared to the scion.. they suck :-\

but oh well, it's $100 cheaper a month, $220 a year cheaper on insurance, and my first tag was $140 cheaper than my first tag on the mazda

 

Welcome, those wheels look good on the black xB.

Now it's time to drop that box!

 

i'd love to... but not with the roads here... i scraped pulling into the tire place today to get my tires mounted on the wheels.. :-\ the roads are horrible here... potholes EVERYWHERE... huge inclines and curbs into driveways and parking lots... it's bad lol

 

Get some TRD springs & sway bar it will make a huge difference in the handling dept. As for the brakes, I do agree with you OP, they are lacking. I'm hoping that SS brake lines will improve that whenever they are released for the xB2. Enjoy your new ride!

 

welcome.. The TRD springs has a very slight drop plus and make your car handle a hell of alot better.. As fas as potholes and high approach curbs.. Dodge and angle..lol

 

Welcome and congrats on your new ride. She is looking sweet already!

 

Woah, what happened to the mazda?

 

Hey roads are bad everywere, drop that thing. Those things sit way to high. I drive offroad and mine is 4" off the ground.
