2004 Scion XB Custom Hot Rod

This is not your typical Scion XB, this is a completely custom built V8 powered, RWD, 450 HP Hot Rod monster of a Scion. A no expense spared transformation happened to this particular Scion XB with completely custom frame and structure fabrication by Advanced Automotive Concepts. This is NOT a Front Wheel Drive car, it has been customized and rebuilt with a tubbed rear end and rear wheel drive. This car is a real attention grabber wherever you go with it..and they will hear you coming. The V8 sounds like rolling thunder and has all the power to back it up.

Engine and Transmission:

This Scion has a completely rebuilt, blueprinted and stroked 383 V8 putting out 450HP. There is an 8.8" rear end with a 3.73 gear ratio. There was a 700R Transmission installed to handle all of the power. The engine bay is filled with chrome pieces and is as breathtaking as the rest of the car. The car has a custom fuel cell located under neath of the rear trunk area with a access panel hidden in the rear trunk. There is a massive fuel pump installed in the fuel cell.

Interior

With the exception of the gauges hidden in the center console cubby, this interior is pretty much directly as it came from the factory. Black cloth seats, steering wheel, factory radio, etc are all in place and functioning. Turn signals and lights all work. If you were just looking at the interior, you'd have no idea what this car had under the hood.

Exterior:

The car was completely gone over and repainted in Burnt Tangerine. It was painted by a reputable shop, Ed and Jim's here in Baltimore. The car looking absolutely brilliant in person. The pictures do not do this paint justice. It pops. The body is free of any dings and dents. It was completely gone over prior to paint. There is a tasteful body kit installed on the car that gives it a slightly more aggressive look. Headlights, turn signals and rear lights work.

Underneath this car:

This is where the custom fabrication took place. Advanced Automotive Concepts here in Baltimore went through and did a completely custom fabrication and engineering to convert this car from FWD to RWD. Look at the pictures to see everything. Custom engine cradle, custom strut towers, custom exhaust, custom steering rack, engine mounts, etc. Everything was custom fabricated to create a RWD Scion XB with a V8. This was built correctly and it shows in the photos and the drive.

This car starts right up with a turn of the key. It runs and drives with no issue. It was professionally built with driving it on the road in mind.

I have uploaded a lot of photos of this car. There is a link to all of them here: ADDITIONAL PICTURES

Nissan exec Andy Palmer derides Toyobaru coupes as 'midlife crisis' cars

Mon, 28 Oct 2013

Andy Palmer, Nissan's executive vice president, does not like the Scion FR-S or Subaru BRZ. To us, that's like saying you enjoy barbecuing puppies, but we'll let him slide, because his statements about the Toyobaru twins are much, much more than just idle trash talk.
Speaking to Motor Trend's Nate Martinez, Palmer said, "Do we have any competitors [in the small, rear-drive coupe segment]? Are you talking about the Subaru [BRZ]? It was a car designed for a 50-year-old. It's for a midlife crisis. That's not what we do." Strong words, but what followed was even better.
"Are you coming to the Tokyo Motor Show? You'll see the answer to the midlife crisis. Except it won't be for the midlife crisis." So, if you were wondering whether Nissan is working on a competitor to the Scion FR-S and Subaru BRZ, the answer seems to be a resounding "yes."

Andrew Gilleland is new VP of Scion, Murtha moves to Toyota

Fri, Sep 25 2015

Scion is getting some fresh blood at the top as Andrew Gilleland (pictured above) becomes the new vice president to take over for Doug Murtha. Gilleland is no stranger to the division, and served as the national field operations manager early in the brand's launch. Murtha moves to take leadership of corporate strategy and planning for Toyota in North America. "Now it's Andrew's charge to spread the message of the style and value of the iM and iA, as well as a third new vehicle that will be added to the lineup," Toyota division group vice president Bill Fay said in the announcement. Gilleland moves up from being general manager of Toyota's central Atlantic regional office. He takes the reins at Scion at a potential turning point for the division. Sales volume for the year through August is down 22.1 percent to 32,691 vehicles, but some big changes are afoot. The long-lived xB is likely about to bow out, and the brand is launching two new products with the iM and iA. They're getting some celebrity advertising, too. Spy shots also suggest the FR-S might get a refresh soon. Plus, the third model Fay teases is expected to be a compact crossover, possibly with styling inspiration from the Toyota C-HR concept. Scion could get a big boost by having an entry in that booming segment. New Products, Previous Player - Scion Introduces New Vice President Andrew Gilleland Returns to Youth Brand September 24, 2015 TORRANCE, Calif. (Sept. 24, 2015) – In the early days of Scion, when xAs and xBs were flying out of dealers' showrooms, Andrew Gilleland was the National Field Operations Manager for the youth brand. He was responsible for working with dealers to ensure they embraced the new products and processes Scion offered. Now, Scion is entering its teen years, and Gilleland is back as Vice President of Scion, once again encouraging dealers to sell its new models and investigate new methods to attract young buyers. "Scion has sold nearly a million vehicles since I left in 2005 and I'm excited to be back leading this team," said Gilleland. "The iM 5-door hatchback and iA sports sedan arrived at dealerships earlier this month and the response has been great.
