My "Little Buddy" is a 2005 Scion xA named Xander. Despite what everyone says and despite the internet rumor that "The Scion xA is the lowest horse power production car on the market" this little dude can turn some heads, and leave those evo's behind!
Under the hood
Basic Toyota 1NZFE 1.5L (turbocharged with Garrett T25 @ 11.5psi) with lowered compression head gasket, massive head studs, custom soft-flex exhaust system and home tuned ECU.
In the cabin
Basic interior with a few little mods. First, i have a JENSEN 250Watt DVD/Media center unit (2DIN) a TomTom 910 SIRIUS Stratus radio, and some lighting mods (including blue LED's installed in the thermostat center, and (borrowed from honda) the amber LED by the mirror to illuminate the center console at night)
Outer stuff
HID's at 8,000K LED lighting, the same $19.99 fog lights from Pep boys that EVERY scion xA owner in the WORLD has (dont lie...) home made LED high-mount brake light and (still in design mode) Wheel LED's that display 1x32 caractor in blue when the wheel is spinning at 15MPH+
Suspension
Tien 1.7" lowering springs on KONEG K-spec rims. GENERAL lopro tires and a BENT RIM!! (makes high speeds fun!)
CEL is P0171 ( i had a custom air intake, and the EC
U did'nt like it) Yes, it is past the redline.
If only my car still looked that good... Recent accident left with body repair, and refinishing. Still waiting on fresh paint, those rims are garbage, the headlights, tail lights and front grille are all blacked out. Scion badges removes, front says Toyota, back says Toyota and IST - - New pictures to be posted soon, i hope... (HERE NOW!)
Thank you new President Barack Obama for helping us get iol prices low enough, i can FILL (from empty to full) my gas tank for LESS THAN $30 ! ! !
I HOME MADE PROJECTOR HEADLIGHTS!
I Beleive I am 1 out of about maybe 10 people in the USA who has PROJECTOR headlights in my Scion xA (Toyota IST)
Painted the grille black and emblium swapped the whole car to Toyota
And added a tint to my tail lights, painted my rear wiper arm white, and put on that OEM tow hook thats in with the spare tire? and a custom cherry bomb exhaust (home made, i hate welding)
