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. I am open to trades - please text or email me pictures with detailed descriptions of what you are looking to trade. |

2016 Scion iA shows its face, for better or worse, in New York [w/video]
Wed, Apr 1 2015We have a theory that, among auto designers, there's something resembling Stockholm Syndrome. Designers spend so many hours looking at a single product that, after awhile, they can't help but fall in love with it, regardless of how bad it may look to everyone else. That might explain the appearance of the Scion iA, which while largely similar to the handsome Mazda2, replaces that car's attractive five-pointed grille with what could be described as a gaping maw. Fortunately, it's only the Scion grille that really causes any offense. The parts of the iA that have been left to Mazda designers are, as we said, rather handsome. That includes both the attractive rear and the Kodo-derived lines found in the tiny sedan's profile. The cabin, meanwhile, is well outfitted with standard equipment, including a seven-inch touchscreen display. Plastic is the dominant material, although the overall layout is logical and mostly attractive. Have a look at our live gallery of images of Scion's first-ever four-door sedan. Sports Sedan that Shouts Success All-New 2016 Scion iA Rolls Into New York With a Trunk - Brand's first-ever sedan with dramatically sporty look and agile moves - Estimated MSRP in the $16,000-range for well-equipped mono-spec model • High-spirited 1.5-liter engine; estimated 42 MPG highway - Choice of 6-speed stick shift or 6-speed automatic - Standard Low-speed Pre-collision safety system - Roomy cabin with premium amenities - 7-inch multimedia system with voice recognition NEW YORK, March 31, 2015 – Scion is expanding its line-up in more ways than one. In addition to adding a new vehicle to its stable, it's also adding its first-ever sedan, the remarkably sporty, yet very affordable, 2016 Scion iA. The Scion iA sedan joins the all-new 2016 Scion iM hatchback for a one-two punch in the subcompact and compact segments. The new sans-hatch Scion will arrive in dealerships this fall for an estimated MSRP in the $16,000-range. That's for a mono-spec model equipped with standard Low-speed Pre-collision safety system and 7-inch multi-media system with voice activation. Because Scion has a no hassle, no haggle Pure Price, customers walk out the door with the same price they saw posted in the dealership. "Dramatic" could be an understatement when describing the visual impact of the 2016 Scion iA. Beneath the daringly curved sheetmetal lies a tight, agile machine that re-defines "entry level." Call the design "class above," a term that applies throughout the car.
EVO "2012 Car of the Year: The Track Battles" is a sports car salmagundi
Sun, 25 Nov 2012EVO has come out with another gotta-watch-it video, throwing its 2012 Car of the Year contestants around the UK's 1.5-mile Blyton Park track. It's actually a 15-minute teaser for the full-length DVD detailing the magazine's Car of the Year selection, but the tease is worth every penny free second.
Tiff Needell and sports car racer Richard Meaden handle the wheel duties, the two driving five pairs of sports cars: Lotus Exige S vs. Porsche Boxster S, Morgan Three-Wheeler vs. Toyota GT86, BMW M135i vs. Porsche 911, Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Black Series vs. Alpina B3 GT3, the marquee event pits the McLaren MP4-12C vs. the Pagani Huayra. After a head-to-head lap with commentary during drifts, Meaden takes each car out to set a representative lap time.
You'll find the verdicts, lots of tire smoke, and lines like "Anything you can do sideways I can do sideways" in the video below.
Buy a Toyota GT86 and your wife will hate you
Wed, 14 Nov 2012Marketing can be a very strange business. Convincing a man or woman (or child, really) that they absolutely cannot live without the latest, greatest new bit of technology oftentimes takes a unique approach. In the "online film promoting the Toyota GT86" you'll see below, created by agency Happiness Brussels, men are reverse-psychologied into thinking a new sports coupe will make them more masculine by getting their loved ones to hate them. Or something like that. We think.
In any case, we suggest you watch the video below to see how much fun men can have with a GT86 - or Scion FR-S or Subaru BRZ, presumably - at the expense of their significant others. Fair warning: There's a potential Not Safe For Work moment in the ad: beware of a brief male butt shot about 44 seconds in.
Marketing. Gotta love it. Unless you're married to a man. Or something like that. We think. Whatever, just watch.
