haha, it is a very small family and its hard to get aftermarket help for these cars. You have to be very creative and handy to fab your own stuff. We just need something to help relight the spark in the xD
Took you this long to realize this? Haha jp but yea small it is in all xd forums. Scionlife is pretty slow like here nd scikotics is completly dead. Not many aftermarket parts available for our cars so not much to talk about either
Still looking for traffic in this forum! LOL, I guess it is, what it is.
The xD is a small community of owners, for me: xD was a car to replace a daily driver: a 94 integra, with 258k on it, and it still ran with about 26mpg-it was donated today actually...
I came from the SRT4 & Bimmer forums, which were quite busy; and in which I actually met a bunch of local tC owners...
As for bolt ons, xD goes into NYC each day:
-no need for someone to steal my other $ rims; we'll keep the steelies on!
-already got one nail in the rear right tire driving into/from Manhattan
-as for power, the xD by definition is not power...(full)
Compared to other cars I've owned-it's a value driven car and I'm liking it each day.
it is a good car but not much support. If you have the time and coin to pay you can get alot of power out of these cars, but its going to be alot of money.
intake, header, exhaust is about all i'd do while still paying for mine. i found a couple turbo set ups last night, but that's way down the line if at all. i like my 30+mpg i'm getting for now.
xA/xD just didn't get the love Scion expected. I feel they really are wasting their time with RS models these days. everyone just complains about them anyway. save for some exterior dress up items and axleback mufflers, yea, let your imagination make the rest of the aftermarket for the car. in other words, DIY.
Yeah I hear ya. Not much love at all. One curious thing is on another forum is a 10th gen corolla fit a OBX header designed for the 03-08 1zz-fe onto his 2zr-fe. So if turbokits.com made a kit for the 03-08 corolla, there would be a good chance the turbo manifold would fit the 2zr-fe. So there's that. I don't know if they would just sell the manifold or what. I'm not 100% sure of this, but just may be.
i know the universal setups are not reliable...just mentioning that i ran across some. my car is gonna be a daily/show car anyway. i'm not worried about messing with the powerplant all that much. i need to keep it reliable. it's all sound & dress up for now.
Not towards you guys but idk how people get that the 1zz headers will bolt to the 2zr other than its from the previous gen butt yea ima have to disagree that we're down with the xa... ptuning offers short blocks for the xa/ xb1 and soo many other parts. But yea when spring comes up ima see what power mods ii wld get my xd. Ii was considering trading in but ii been through a lot wif this car nd regret "unfinishing" it lol. My goal is to have some hi comp pistons. Cams. Valve springs and retainers. Even if it means having it custom done. Then a tune ... we'll see what happens
I'll agree to that.. ii almost considered getn that just cause ii saw the blk vip style one but glad ii didn't. No offense if u own one. Though ii do like rs1 version lol
