this car is total crap. the interior is disgusting, the back bumper is cracked and is being pushed out because the wheels are too big and the offset doesnt fit. Not to mention it was filthy. It should have never been allowed into HIN. One of the only requirement of HIN is to NOT HAVE ANY BODY DAMAGE. This car was a disgrace to Scion.
and yes, I saw it today at NJ HIN. I was pretty ____ed. Theres nothing good about this car.

did some digging around "Performance auto and sound Mag" (the biggest sticker on the car) to see if i could find anything.
What i got was a link to this YouTube video...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5WQ02JOEaU
The guy seems like kind of a tool giving shout outs to "his boys" every 5 seconds (watch it) and it looks like it was shot on some horrid cell phone cam. I think its the same car from the photo, especially if you watch the video and look at the front bumper w/that freakin huge intercooler piping, i think they just stripped its graphics added new wheels and what jim posted is a pic of it as it is today.
The guy in the vid said it was a 2007 and stated that the "S Max" Turbo kit was built by "his boys" over at FSR motorsports in Cali.

I saw it tonight, didnt know who to really talk to about the turbo kit. fact that the hood wasn't even open leads me to believe it prolly doesnt work or is even hooked up. looked as if there was no bumper support either in the front. Will just have to wait for TurboToyotas in that department

Man it's hard to wait but I know it will be worth it in the end...

yeah, i talked to the guy that owns it at HIN tampa. the car does run, but i dont think it is boosted. he wasnt very forth coming with details about the car. i thought the car was pure sex though. yeah it has damage but lets see you drive a car that low with wheels that big.... and not to mention the Brides inside, i just want to know who made his seat brackets! i miss my racing seats!

so basically what youre saying is, a car that is "pure sex" equals
A gigantic intercooler up front with no turbo
Wheels that don't fit
A cracked rear bumper
And ridiculously ugly seat brackets
If my car was that crappy, I would also be forth coming about giving out details

in all due respect, his car has more blood sweet and tears (most likely all sponsor paid as it is a sponsor built car) then yours... until youve been there i wouldnt expect your to appreciate the efforts.

and lol at all your issues.
there was an intercooler but noone knows if it had the turbo or not...
the wheels fit 100%...
the bumper is cracked from ground clearance but hey, the car is in primer so it doesnt matter too much, easy fix.
and considering he is one of what 5 people with racing seats in his xD, idont think the brackets look bad, did you even see them?
