im bored with my xD already it took a lot longer for me to get bored with my tC, i think cuz i could always go on SL and see something new or interesting that would get my mind wondering again... around here everyone does the same thing, or nothing... is anyone actually doing anything to their xD that is new wild and crazy, or is every rims, springs, vinyl and boredom?

We got more we want to do but time and money have escaped us at the moment. But unfortunately there really isn't too much to be done to these at least at this point.

Luci,
Everyone may not have money...
I've been working on ideas with Resolve constantly, but sadly, you know majority of people are focusing on what is easier to mod because the market is there. xA, xB, tC... all the market is there... xD mods haven't made a name for themselves yet, especially since it's only 2 years old.

I am kitted with carbon fiber goodies... plus I just picked up a new 32 inch TV and an xbox 360, so not much more I can spend on mods right now... BTW the TV and xbox are going in the hatch :D

Got plans for a vinyl rally stripe, charcoal w/tire tread design, just need to get it ordered. Wanna do an exhaust still and then upgrade the speakers and wrap the headliner/pillars. Like everyone else said, no money, doctor bills are killing us right now. Well, no money except what I have put away for the exhaust, lol.

I'll be adding matte black vinyl to the recesses on the front lip on the sides, the side skirts, and rear section on my RS1 bodywork. Going for that subtle look that will match the vinyl on door/window pillars. ;) I'll post pics when done.

Looks good! I'm thinking of changing out my TRD's for the DF210's or doing the KSport Coilovers...

With the little money I have made back from the turbotoyota fiasco from selling the AEM f/ic, I bought Clazzio's, shark fin antenna, and Spectre air filter...When the big things (turbo, BOV, gauges, etc) sell, then I will be changing out rims and moving onto the stereo stuff...

Changed out the TRD's for DF210s today.. the ride height is much sleeker.. and the ride compared to the TRD's.. much softer and smoother ride... I love the new look

Yea man I tried but that Todd is a real character...I have a feeling there never really was a manifold or down pipe...I have never seen it, nor has anyone else...I wasn't gonna be that guy that (CWatz) who has been waiting close to 650 days and still has nothing to show for it...And thats after forking over $6K...

I truly wanted something special for our xD's...This turbo kit would have been bad a$$ IF it would have been completed...Oh well, like I said...When my turbo stuff sells, I will be doing other stuff to my car to make it unique...

Actually, you can get the Manifold for about $330 from JGS precision...For the downpipe, you can get the flange from JGS, get a mandrel bent 90 bend and any competent exhaust shop should be able to get it done. Then you could buy all my other stuff I have for sale, turbo, BOV, intercooler, gauges, couplers, oil lines, etc...:laughing1:I may even lower my price just a bit for you, you just never know...

LOL, thank you for the info on where to get the last components that I need!!!!!


I already have all the above named parts, how did you get the info for JGS? and do they need my car or can they make one up with out it????

Are you willing to piece it out? I may need some odds and ends from you...

Changed out the TRD's for DF210s today.. the ride height is much sleeker.. and the ride compared to the TRD's.. much softer and smoother ride... I love the new look
these are the springs i got for the 07 yaris from Micro Image for 159 shipped!!

whats up Chris? the ride should be softer since the Yaris springs have a much lower spring rate. THe Yaris is a lighter car therefore not needing as stiff a spring as needed by the xD. this in turn also squashes the springs more giving that lower ride height that everyone wants. I want lower, but with adjustability. i would actually be fine with the ride height and get adjustable damping shocks. but since most everyone that posts here knows that from SL.

and to answer the question at hand, no, I haven't been doing anythingto my xD. there's nothing that intersts me for the car.
