werd... ill keep the buildup post of the civic, but i decided to take a few shots of the xb today... the first pic i took back around christmas time for my portfolio hence the screen in the pic.... then a few weeks after that, some nice people decided to break into my daily driver shitbox and steal the screen... so now i have new paint and so forth. the rollcage goes to all pillars (rear c-pillar section is off) as im in the process of putting in my carbon headliner... Also i have the completed amp rack kit and window components kit from Firmware (second company i started alil over a year ago..) Anyways.... its got tha flows, and i ain't talkin bout tha flowmasters yo... wOOOOOOO wOOOOOOO -mod list.... . rota gt3's in red - 15inch w/proxes 4's . tanabe lowering springs . 1st gen bb japanese headlights . open deck bb grill w/ emblem (front and rear) . momo go-kart steering wheel . alpine head deck, full jbl component speakers . jbl amps and 10inch sub... (yea i have to have tunes for daily). . Firmware rollcage w/harness bar (buckets soon to come with harness') . Firmware suspension H brace . Firmware window kit . Firmware amp rack . 5zigen axle back exhaust . Blitz intake . Japanese bB windshield visors w/mirrors . Vision side mirrors . e-Sam 4-window visors /random.... and now onto my pics. |

Quote: works as a a/b/c pillar stiffner also... i had alot of customers wanting a cage around here for the pure need of a harness bar, so heck i make some money out of it as ive sold over 40units, its paying for the civic project ... btw the newer cages we made were mandrel bent, mine was the first off the jig with u-bends, ill be replacing it when i finish the headliner. |

||||||||

|
|||||||
yeah...but are you ever going to be going fast enough to warrant some traction bars? |

Quote: hp is one thing, chassis, body and suspension flex is another.... ill have the socal boys vouch for me that i drive this car harder then i do the si.... thats just "in the twisties" of course... but its a blast to drive the xb except for the lack of power on the straights... but ill be at willow on the 6th, so ill let you know how the product runs |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
you have a shop? hook up my si for some parts bisssh |
||||||||
|

Quote: just a manufacturing company.... i can make you some custom parts though we have a fit and an 06 civic in our shop right now... anything particular? |

Hmm... Its nicely put together, but... I just think its a bad starting point, the xB is an ugly box IMHO. Now that you've thrown some $$$ into it, its a JDN tyTe!!1! ugly box... Thats also slow. Nate |
||||||||

meh... thats why the civic is getting all the funds and the build... and its still an econobox... the scion i really have no wants or needs to make it quick as its not a great hp platform to begin with, it does its job for my daily computer consulting job to truck items and me from a to b.... the car cost me 15,100 out the door... my loan is at 3 percent... the rest of the car.... rims and tires = 600 exhaust = free intake = free rollcage = free after money coming back from selling product other firmware product = free for the same reasons alpine headunit i had = free subs and audio = free (pops works for jbl / harman) steering wheel, hub and quick/release = 300 shiftknob = 25 springs = 100 headlights, grill, and visors = free for trade with us items vision mirrors off the civic = 280 new when i bought them but i didn't buy them for the scion, just put them on so ive spent shy under 1500 if you count the mirrors in the cost i have a daily driver im happy with, which equals the point of a daily driver... now if i wanted to kill the gas mileage and have over 400whp i would take the civic out every day and throw monitors in the back of that shit ... what really sucks is to see some scions out there that are stock with a set of wheels... the wheels cost more then everything on my shit cost me |

Nice box.. looks good! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I thought a roll cage is for a car that can roll over. Wouldn't that Xb just flip on its side and slide on it? just givin ya shiat! nice box |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Nice box!!! So can you sell me some parts for my box? |

Not too shabby for a box. You've definitely got some nice taste in the mods for you cars. Keep it up man. How did it go at Willow for ya last weekend? |

Quote: im bummed as i was stuck in mexico/ san diego for the whole weekend i will be trying to get it in one more session before late june because once the civic is running i don't think the scion will see "fun days" anymore |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
I can definitely understand that dude. I would rock that Civic any time I could after putting as much time in as you have. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Why a roll cage? we all know squares can't roll |
||||||||
|
|

when the snow is fully gone (if it isn't already)... you should head up to wilson sometime, if you see an xa... i wouldn't put any money up against him Honestly though i like the "roll" of the scion... it has just enough to feel like the car is carving nicely into the turns... my civic with all the susp. setups ive had, has not been 100% what i have wanted out of a car for cornering, but its also a civic... not saying the scion is anything more or less... but its still a fwd box, i guess i just like the short hood and the fact of the height you sit at. Only thing that pisses me off is the damn traction control always on even when you turn it off... but whatevaH. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||
Yeah... Isnt there some wiring you can do to turn off the traction control all the time? sort of like the 350z guys do. |
