Scion xD: quiet forum

[htheduck]

Where's the life in here? :party33:

I'm quickly learning it's a small family of xD owners in general...LOL

Oh well, I'm loving the little car!

[simmons0613]

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

[xd_kidd]

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

[htheduck]

I don't have any immediate mod plans for the this car -> been there done all that.

I want to keep this car plain Jane and just drive it to/from work...but the xD forums have so little traffic! lol

[jester4666]

i like that the RS1 came factory modded, less urge for me to do anything immediately to my car.

[simmons0613]

Pretty much everything that you can do with this car has already been done. But hey try and be creative. You never know what you can make

[jester4666]

i found a few things i can do, but i'm not in a hurry to do them.

[htheduck]

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.

[simmons0613]

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.

[jester4666]

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.

[simmons0613]

those are not reliable setups. The only true scion xd turbo setups are on the Rally xD, and they had Greddy make it just for them.

[JDMJim]

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.

[Whack-A-Mole]

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.

[jester4666]

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.

[xd_kidd]

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

[JDMJim]

don;t get me wrong, there is stuff for the xA, just no one messes with them anymore than a xD.

[xd_kidd]

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

Like I said before, I'm not 100%, but this guy said he did it.

[xd_kidd]

Interesting. Well the engines are pretty much the same but without a pics installed. It never happened.. lol. Buy a used one nd get back to us lol

[Whack-A-Mole]

I've done plenty of research = your turn

[TacoCart]

Anyone out here have the sales numbers for the xd? Just curious. Probably not very high numbers they need to advertise this car more I get people asking me what kind of car I have and I say scion xd and then they give me a retard stare and say you own a what?

[JDMJim]

no offense taken. I have a layed out xB1 that's stock under the hood. the most engine mods i have from both my Scion's is the Spectre mod on the xD

I ran across some numbers on production but not sales. funny thing though, as limited as the RS1 is, I saw another one on my way home today

[xd_kidd]

I did. long tube headers... checkmate :laughing1:

[Whack-A-Mole]

What long tube headers? They haven't come yet, and I also have them coming (been promised the first set out of coating). I also drove up to your neck of the woods and ponied up for the intake manifold from JE. Last, I talked to Garm from Microimage and got measurements to see if the rear lower strut bar would fit from the Yaris. I then bought then confirmed it when I received it. So, yup, your turn! Get to work! :bleh:

[xd_kidd]

Oh ur nateson. U confuse me wif all ur diff s.n haha.. well I'm getn the first batch too as promised... blown? You should be lol .. its all good.. ii can't mod after this since I'm payn for school nd car but spring time buddy... jst wait lol

[Whack-A-Mole]

School is a good choice. Good luck!
Yeah I try to keep it simple to keep track of my screen names.

....mine is very simple. Simmons0613 anywhere you looks lol

[C4W22]

I'll have to agree, it's quiet as hell in here...was expecting more of a following too...but yea it appears to be a small community with not much aftermarket...

[simmons0613]

true, but dont give up. Every now and then we will get a lead on something new or an idea someone could follow upon.

[Resolve]

The xd Community is small compared to alot of other communities and that is why the quietness on an xD forum or sections. It is what it is and I don't think the community will ever get big. Most people I see driving the xD either just drive it like it is or are older people. Only a few modded ones.

[1sweetxd]

no lie on very few modded XDs out there. the fact that there are a limited number of XDs in general around my parts, there are even fewer modded at all. ive seen an RS1 in my area, but other than that, im truly the only XD with any aftermarket mods done to it. kinda sucks, but at the same time it really makes mine stand out!!

[Resolve]

Yeah I am actually seeing more around my area but again it is either older people or people that seemed to just wanted an economical daily driven car. Right now I think there are only like 5 that I know of that are modded in my area. and two of us are on here. There are less then probably 10 total in the surrounding areas that are modded at a minimum ( i.e. springs)

[C4W22]

I love how everyone crawled out of the woodwork for this thread though....LOL

[jester4666]

there are 3 xDs in the club i run (RS1, RS3, modded xD) and i know of 3 other RS1s in the dallas area.

[Shaggy]

I love how everyone crawled out of the woodwork for this thread though....LOL

Ha ha, so true :)

[xd_kidd]

since i got my xd.. i have 3 more xds around my neighborhood. 2 of 3 are blk.. i wonder where they got their ideas from lol ... cant wait in a few months ima go out all out. ii already started getting parts but parents are starting to dislike how much space its taking so instead of going piece by piece. im just saving and get at it after winter lol

[12xDkD]

I really like my xD! I've had it for 3 weeks now and I'm glad I have it. I had an 05 tC 4 years ago and I loved having that too. Now there are way more mods for the tC than the xD. I wish they would have more mods for the xD.

[DaveO]

Sick car, xd_kidd! That thing is legit!
