Looking for...

[bobolinko]

While I'm waiting for the soon-to-come XD Header, I'm looking, but not finding a Torque Damper for the 1.8L motor. Has NE1 got NE NFO on where I can get one? I'm thinking of fabing one myself if there is none to be had...

[TheLittleDeviant]

I have been looking myself and have come up empty handed as well, If you are able to fab one up it could be a good move for you as you will be able to make more for the rest of the community...

It is a shame that development for our cars is so slow in coming. As the third model year approaches, performance options are few and far between. While some products are available, I think aftermarket companies continue to discount the xD, and probably consider them nothing more than a little four door commute car.

With that said, there are some fairly cool options out there, but still painfully lacking in many categories. The 2nd Gen xB enjoys way more product availability and aftermarket options than our cars. And the tC has always had it good in this way, although not surprising given that it's a "sports coupe". A header is reportedly in the works for the xD as well as several other items we all want, it's just too bad that we have to wait sooo long! WAAAA!

if u wanna try it and let us know how it works.. a 1zz will bolt up to the block but not sure how it will connect to the mid pipe..

[bobolinko]

It was "supposed to fit", and it did ! but the rest of the pipes in the exhaust system could not connect to it. Had to send the header back. Don't waste any time trying to do what I tried.

I'm going to stick with the factory header as it seems to be better than most of the "factory" headers I've seen. It's constructed of TUBES rather than the old cast iron jobbies. only not equal-length, but I'm not full-on-racing with the puppy anyway...

I really don't see the after market catching on anytime soon with the xD. Looks like it might share the same fate as the xA.

Which is so sad... but oddly enough, there is still more support for the xA than the xD...

[misformartin]

that is because the xa shares parts with the xb... so thats why the parts are so common... there are parts out there if you want u can try a 1zz header and see if it lines up or worst case scenario take it to a muffler shop and have them hack it up and make it work with ur stock exhaust system...

was going back and forth today with Garm from MicroImage.. found out alot of the yaris parts for suspension will work for the xD... i just purchased some DF210's from him for 159 shipped... he also has some other stuff like the rear suspension brace.. sway bar.. support frames.. and front strut bar..

Wow! what a gold mine. I wonder why it's all been designed for the Yaris even though most of it will work for the xD? I'm also curious as to how many of those products will ACTUALLY fit on our Scions.. Hopefully everything being shown!

[misformartin]

i dont think malysia gets the xd... and since ultra racing is from there they dont have a test mule.... so that why they just say for the yaris... i would figure the rear sway bar would work since the trd one is the same for yaris and xd... as for anything else its hit or miss... i hope someone buys it all and can then tell us what fits and what doenst...

[TheLittleDeviant]

I know the underbraces for the yaris do fit the xD, there is member on Scionlife who has the front and mid underbrace for a Yaris on his xD

That sounds promising..
