You can get these xb's and xa's up to 300 with a turbo or a supercharger. Probably not even close to as much torque as the ga has, but who knows.

Lol, thanks gus, i fixed it. Anyways, that picture above is almost exactly what I want her to look like. Minus the OEM carbon fiber hood which is just tacky. Well, that and those rims. I'll probably end up getting the black one, so I want black rims with the chrome trim around them.

I take it this company is a break off company of the company that sponsors you?

well matt from alter impact has something to do with it. I dont know the extent of his involvement, but when i was talking to him earlier tonight he asked me if i knew anyone w/ a scion, and while i said i knew a couple locally, i also told him i'd do a lil shameless plugging for him. Either way matt is one of the coolest guys i know so ill back him in whatever he does. Im getting some stuff for my maxima from him as well...cant beat opposite coast advertising and i drive about 18 miles each way to work, so someone is bound to see the banners...lol

Yea but the R&D for something like that on a Scion is probably better then anything for a GA, i mean you can probably buy turbo kits from a few companies for them, how many turbo kits can you buy for a 1995 2.3L grand am

Great. If my wife ever does decided to goto a Tc someday remind me not to order from that site. Last time we ordered crap from Matt it took about 6 months for us to finally receive our items not to mention many extremely rude emails full of excuss after excuss. Lets just say that transaction was the worst I have ever experienced though enthusiast forums and shows his lack of bussiness ethics.

I don't know if he owns that bussiness or what his connection is with it but anything that is tied to his name I'll never deal with again.

Any so called 'business person' that acts the way he did in an email will never get another dime from me.

This was over a year ago but I'll see if my wife has any copies of his emails saved so I can share them with you. I have nothing to hide, I'll lift the rug and expose the dirt where it lies.

No offense intended, but I do beleive the Scion xB is the ugliest car man has ever conceived. Ever.

I like the Scion XB because of the space, and room available for "updates", and I think the new civics look really nice.

As long as you dont go overboard. I've seen them with a stock wing, and just some rims, and they look pretty good just like that.

Lol...I don't think anything can possibly make an xB look good.....short of, I dunno, taking off the entire body and putting some not-ugly in it's place?

The xA is okayish, and the tC is actually pretty cool. Just can't for the life me understand how somebody can think that thing looks good.

If you've seen the TC in person, it has a great front, and an ugly ass. And the Xa, gag.

There are more cars in Japan that look like the xB, i like them b/c they are different (atleast here in the states) since nothing else really looks like them.

But here are other cars that looks like an xB
