Car Show-ready Xb W/ Sliding Roof 18in Boyd Coddington Wheels Airbag Suspension on 2040-cars
Irvine, California, United States
|
To kick things off, the owner wanted his xB to be pavement level which is accomplished with EasyStreet air struts in the front and EasyStreet bags and brackets in the rear. Now this wicked mini-suv lays down nicely over a set of Boyd 18x8-inch Smoothie II wheels with Kumho 215/35/18 rubber providing the traction. Even though this box sits low, it can be picked back up to stock height (or higher) with the flick of a switch, making it a practical daily driver during the week, and a force to be reckoned with at the weekend car shows.
Shaved all the factory badges and Putco billet grille inserts were bolted into place. A StreetBeat Customs 40-inch by 70-inch sliding ragtop was worked into the roofline to let the sun shine in. However, the most noticeable thing about this Scion is the Black Sand Pearl paint topped off with a set of hot rod flames. The flames consist of House of Kolor Majik Blue that fades into Passion Purple with Reflex Blue providing a nice pinstripe outline. All the plastic interior parts were painted and pinstriped to match the outside and a set of Autometer gauges from XBgauges.com were installed. A Billet Specialties steering wheel replaces the stock steering device and a Boomerang custom center console with a TRD short shifter, sits snugly between the bucket seats. A Katzkin black and blue two-tone theme covers the interior parts with custom flamed door inserts, and floor mats. A blue suede headliner and A,B,C pillars finish the interior. Blue StreetGlow neon and LED lighting set the interior off in the evening hours at automotive shows and cruise-ins. An Alpine in-dash LCD screen double din DVD head unit. A custom fiberglass subwoofer enclosure was constructed for the rear storage area that contains two 10-inch Type-R Alpine subs and a 4-channel Alpine amp, the finishing of the subwoofer box/amp mount is painted to match the exterior along with a little hot rod pinstriping. Alpine 7-inch LCD monitors were installed in each front seat headrest and the stock speakers were replaced with 6.5-inch Alpine component Type-R speakers. One of the most interesting modifications is the mounting location of the two Alpine mono-amps which are mounted in the rear side windows. Under the hood, the Toyota 1NZ 1.5L four cylinder engine has a few performance and visual upgrades. On the performance side of things, a cold air intake was bolted into place along with a custom header, lighten crank pulley, and a Borla exhaust system. The tab for this build was over $30k. Selling it for a screaming deal and hope to get it in the hands of an owner who will continue to keep it looking show quality.

Cars most likely to be involved in accidents
Tue, Nov 30 2021Data from Insurify shows which models have the most accident-prone drivers behind the wheel. It also shows the proportion of the drivers of said vehicles with an at-fault accident on record in the past seven years, based on Insurify’s analysis of over 4 million car insurance applications. For reference, the national average is 10.78%, and each of these vehiclesÂ’ drivers represent a statistically significant increase over that. Now, it would be easy to infer that these cars are dangerous, but such is not necessarily the case. Remember, drivers cause accidents, not cars. These just happen to be the cars that accident-prone drivers drive. YouÂ’ll notice that many are mainstream, affordable cars, often with decent crash ratings. Also keep in mind that vehicle accidents are up since the beginning of the pandemic, so no matter what you drive, please drive safely. 10. Hyundai Ioniq This affordable, electrified vehicle platform sneaks into this list with 14.45% of drivers with a recent at-fault accident on record. 9. Lexus CT Another hybrid, this Prius-powered Lexus beats the national average at 14.57%. 8. Toyota Prius V Yet another hybrid, the larger but discontinued member of the Prius family sees 14.72% of its drivers with recent accidents. 7. Mazda CX-3 The Mazda CX-3, which is discontinued for the 2022 model year, sees the accident-prone making up 14.9% of its drivers. 6. Infiniti Q60 The second and final luxury car on this list has more accident-prone drivers than average, at 14.93%. 5. Subaru Impreza The first of two Subarus on this list has 15.1% of drivers with recent accidents on record. 4. Hyundai Genesis Coupe The Genesis Coupe was only on the market for a brief span before it was discontinued and Genesis spun off into its own luxury brand. That said, it too beats the national average for accidents, at 15.29%. 3. Subaru WRX Despite its standard all-wheel drive, the boy-racer WRX has 15.44% of drivers with a prior accident in the last seven years. 2. Kia Stinger We love the Kia Stinger, and had great luck with our long-termer that graced the Autoblog garage for a year. That said, 15.75% of its drivers represent have a recent accident on record. 1. Scion FR-S This fun two-seater attracts the most accident prone drivers, with 15.87% with recent at-fault crashes.

Hi-po Toyota GT86 to get KERS?
Fri, 09 Nov 2012We happen to like the Toyota GT86 - and, it of course goes without saying that the same applies to the Subaru BRZ and Scion FR-S, as well - just the way it is. Yes, that includes the standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder boxer engine and its 200 horsepower at 7,000 rpm.
That said, a little extra power never hurt anybody, right?
The most obvious way to add some punch to the GT86 would be with a turbocharger, and that has indeed long been rumored for an STI version of the BRZ. Will Toyota follow suit? According to Top Gear, the answer is no. Says GT86 chief engineer Tetsuya Tada, "I think 300bhp with a turbo and 200g/km of CO2 would be tasteless in this day and age. And a turbo would mean the loss of the GT86's uniqueness." Perhaps a bit harsh, but there you go.
Aston CEO claims Cygnet cancelled because Toyota is dropping iQ in 2014
Sun, 27 Oct 2013While slow sales and a $50,000 price tag may have been contributing factors to the Aston Martin Cygnet being cancelled last month, Aston Martin CEO Ulrich Bez is pointing the finger at Toyota for the demise of this luxurious little city car. In a discussion with Autocar, Bez is quoted as saying that the ultimate reason the Cygnet was cut is because Toyota plans on dropping the iQ (on which the Cygnet is based) in 2014 - a claim denied by the Japanese automaker.
Interestingly, the article also cites another publication reporting that a Toyota importer in the Netherlands heard the same news as Bez, and it has already stopped importing the cars. If the European Toyota iQ is cancelled, that would likely spell the end of the slow-selling Scion iQ in the US, which has sold just 3,365 units through September (a drop of 51 percent year over year).
Regardless of why production of the Cygnet ended, Bez also says that a lack of support from Toyota on the project prevented it from being offered in the US or receiving a supercharged engine, which are two factors that likely would have made the car appealing to more buyers.
