I live extreme west of PA, but given enough advanced notice i might be able to do something like this. Took me 8 hours to get to Ocean City last year and 7 to get to Orange County NY :(

[JDMJim]

[xd_kidd]

ouch same here. a few key marks as well. The day I find a person doing that ima :chair:

[x2cafn8dx]

I have a wicked door ding on my driver's door and a nice dent and chip on back passenger door from salt this winter :( I need to have the dent pulled then not worry about it until i get the car painted next spring

[Arwen]

Yay pics! I love that xD <3

[simmons0613]

I just painted my disc brakes blue. They are curing right now so I will post pics tomorrow. I plan on doing my drums later. I'm also going to paint my tc rims a "shadow" Chrome color probably tomorrow or wednesday.

[xd_kidd]

dude where have you been?
hows ur xd been treating you on the dirt?

[robbiej]

nice pics Dan.

[TheJonas53]

Thanks guys. I have not done much dirt running for a while. I finally fixed the front end from my little ditch incident this winter. I messed up the radiator support, ac system, and bumper cover jumping a ditch and slamming the front end into the ground (not on purpose). Good times. Fixed it in a weekend with a new radiator support, removed the a/c system except for the evaporator, and stitched the bumper cover back together. The car was pretty haggard over the winter.

[simmons0613]

you need to talk to rallyxd, you guys could have some info to help each other

[TheJonas53]

I have talked to him a little. I wish I had the money to do what the rally car has. I have a rally car on a very tight budget lol.

[robbiej]

Very nice....

[simmons0613]

haha! I just recognized your xB. I believe I met you at scikotics pre-exposed last year at the lift rental place.

[xd_kidd]

how much did the radiator support cost you? I did a small number on mines a lil while ago. long story.. :emotions122:

[TexXBox]

That head on shot with the lights looks wicked Dan. Wouldn't want you behind me in the dark. :)

And Brian, the chrome and orange accents on the black wheels really works well on your ride imo.

[TheJonas53]

how much did the radiator support cost you? I did a small number on mines a lil while ago. long story.. :emotions122:

Did you just mess up the bottom or did you bend the sides of the support. You can buy it either just the bottom piece or the whole piece that has the top, sides, and bottom. Either way I got it through rockauto.com. I had to get the whole support because of how bad I slammed into the ground. I got air over the ditch and kinda nose dived. It came out to like $200. It was pretty easy to put on. Only took me a couple hours.

That head on shot with the lights looks wicked Dan. Wouldn't want you behind me in the dark.

Thanks. They are pretty sweet. I need to get a light output shot one of these nights.

[simmons0613]

I just got done painting all my brakes and putting on my brand new lugs. Now I just need to paint the rims themselves.

[xDTool]

not bad, i really really dont like painted drums though.. disc calipers look good!

[simmons0613]

thanks, I was debating on paint the drums but they just didnt look good stock. I was thinking about painting the drums black as well.

[Arwen]

I don't like painted drums either, but black wouldn't be so bad.

[simmons0613]

I could always change them, I am never going to use the rest of the spray so I figure why not.

[TheJonas53]

I like drums to be black as well. I take mine off and give them a nice fresh coat of black once surface rust starts showing. Calipers look good though.

[XBjames]

[simmons0613]

I just got a reply from him, they website is not up to date but he does sell them. I am waiting on a response for the price.

I just got a reply, he says they are $160 shipped.

[XBjames]

its a good price..cant wait to see more xDs with camber

[simmons0613]

I'm debating if I want them or not. How badly do they affect your tred ware?

[XBjames]

its not going to affect it. Its going to be like nomal driving wear basically. The toe with these shim are .08 deg.

[simmons0613]

...I dont know, I will think about it.

[TexXBox]

I don't know what possessed me, but I actually washed my car this weekend. :) It looks so good clean, I aught to do it more often. Thought I'd document this historic moment and take a few pics.

http://www.justady.net/cars/xd/xd1.jpg
http://www.justady.net/cars/xd/xd2.jpg

Did the tails, mirror turn signals, bumper reflectors and emblems myself with a rattle can.

http://www.justady.net/cars/xd/xd3.jpg

Here's my modified blue/red cluster. The colors are much richer/truer in person.

http://www.justady.net/cars/xd/gauge1.jpg

Here's the radio and clock color swap. Again, much bluer in person. I have also added several cup holder/console LED's, done the HVAC controls and swapped the LED's in the drivers window switch and the traction control switch in the console.

http://www.justady.net/cars/xd/radio.jpg

And the reflective pin stripes I put on the wheels. The reflection of the flash/sun makes them look teal-ish, but they are blue as well.

http://www.justady.net/cars/xd/wheel1.jpg

[simmons0613]

Stop teasing me resolve!

[TexXBox]

Sweet. I like the contrast with the blue. Is that paint, or a skin over the nautical blue? Have you tinted the tails?

And is that a first gen B pick-up in the background?

I need more time and money.

[xd king]

and shaved handles

[simmons0613]

yup, he has shaved handles/antenna. And its a flat black paint. I believe thats his friends (crabs) chopped 1st gen xB.

[Resolve]

The doors and antenna are shaved. However, the side doors need more work to smooth them out perfectly. But we were tired of the primer patches. The car is a LOW GLOSS black Kinda like a satin finish and the grills and side mirrors are painted as well. They were just some rattle can my buddy had in his warehouse. We were experimenting with the colors to see which looked better.

I have not tinted the tails but the red tails and red bumper reflectors really pop now that the back is black.

I am debating retinting the headlights and tinting the tails. Also planning on painting the wheels blue to match.

This was more of a temporary paint job to cover the primer patches. we didnt get the door jambs or under hood or anything.

Once I fix the rear door and bumper from an accident we will have the car repainted completely. Will be doing final paint hopefully next year after I fix it and get my tax money.

As for the 1st gen in the backround. That is my buddy Crab's Chop Box. He is the one who painted my car It has been chopped and the rear moved forward to make it like a mini truck. He has put some time into finishing it and getting it cleaned up. He actually got it from some others who did the chop and the finish work was crappy.

[xDTool]

now you just need set of badass wheels *hint hint* :P

satin looks good, i was just about to ask if you had gotten a chance to fix up the rear door yet. Coming along nicely though i've never been a fan of painted grills.. do love multi-color mirrors though.

The doors and antenna are shaved...... (+wall of text :P)

[JDMJim]

i wonder what became of the xD we had around here that was made into a 2 door

[xDizzle]

Pics resolve??

[TexXBox]

Damn Resolve.......... That blue really "pops" against the satin black. Should look really bad a$$ with matching wheels. I wonder... could the tails be tinted a similar blue to get the same contrast from the rear?

The good thing about this forum... It gives a person a LOT of ideas and desires to go ape sh*& on their car.

The bad thing about this forum... It gives a person a LOT of ideas and desires to go ape sh*& on their car. :)

[Resolve]

Thanks everyone.

[Pittshark]

This may be a really dumb question.....but with the shaved handles, how do you open the doors?

[xd_kidd]

Very dumb question indeed... lol jk ... ii think majority who do gots controls like a viper control to pop the doors open

[Pittshark]

Haha, thanks for clearing that up.

[Resolve]

With the shaved doors you have a solenoid that attaches to the latch mechanism inside the door and a normally a remote as stated that controls the solenoid.

my setup is a four door setup the control box is a seven function control box so I could control 3 additional functions with my remote if I wire the additional items to the control box. The remote has four buttons and each button controls a door. I don't have the "poppers" in the door jambs. I started to put one in when I got it and some stuff behind panel I was putting it on got in the way. I will get the on just need to work on it.

The "poppers" are normally small spring loaded bars that compress when the door is shut and when you hit the button to activate the solenoid the spring and bar pushes the door out past the latch. The are not needed to open the door though I normally put my finger beind the door and push the button and pull the door to open it.

[simmons0613]

hey Sub, what is the piece sticking up by your wiper cowl above the hood? is that some kind of air vent or something?

Thats exactly what it is. Its mostly for looks but it does function by moving cooler air down into the engine bay. Its a 1 off piece he made awhile back

[TexXBox]

I would have jokingly guessed that it was a hood/cowl mount tach like used to come on the '70's GTO's :)

[YELOSUB]

[QUOTE=1sweetxd;11460]hey Sub, what is the piece sticking up by your wiper cowl above the hood? is that some kind of air vent or something?

It's a wiper cowl that allows air to flow through to the engine bay...Awhile back my car was to be turbo'd and my turbo was going to sit directly below the vent...Well the turbo never panned out but i liked the look of the cowl plus I have a short ram intake...Any cooler air into the bay must help right...

[1sweetxd]

fyi....also just ordered a new set of springs. its time to get rid of the gap in the fender wells.

getting a set of Tein S-Techs. getting rid of the TRDs.

and a great coincidence....the S-techs are green!! lmao

[jester4666]

i'd like to have S-techs, but i'll have to settle with the TRDs on it already. the roads are too rough to go any lower.

[SciFion]

Finally got the wheels, tires and brakes on.

The Wheels are Kyowa Evolve 628's, 17 X 7, with custom orange stripes.
The tires are Goodyear Eagle GT's, 215/45/17.
The brakes are EBC slotted and dimpled rotors, with EBC Green Stuff pads.

Was able to get the stripes applied by a local painter specializing in pinstripes for $20 per wheel.

More grip, better braking, way better look.

TRD rear sway bar and Tien S Techs next..

[TexXBox]

Lookin' good. I'm a big fan of wheel pinstripes. Really sets them off.

[simmons0613]

Holy F@*$! What happened?

[jester4666]

guy in a truck didn't get stopped in time. i was at a dead stop when he hit.

[simmons0613]

ouch, how fast what he going? Besides you getting a new hatch and bumper is everything else ok?

[jester4666]

the speed limit on the road is 45, but no one does that. i would probably say around 30 or so, he locked up his brakes. lucky me, my brakes held when he hit so i didn't hit the car in front of me.

the tail lights are messed up too. the damd kit has some gouges in the rear lip, so i'm not sure where that's gonna go.

[robbiej]

That really sucks....

[simmons0613]

haha, well i guess its to the dealership for a new damd kit lol

[SciFion]

Sorry bro. :boxed: That bites bigtime. It's all fixable, but that doesn't help your spirits now. Good luck with the repairs.

[TexXBox]

I hate it when people drive by the braille method. Hope everything works out OK for you and your ride.

[jester4666]

thanks folks. i'm supposed to hear from the adjuster on monday, then it's off to get estimates.

[Resolve]

That sucks. I know from dealership a new rear bumper unpainted in mid $200s and rear door is like mid $300.

[1sweetxd]

hey Jester....look on the bright side. if you got a buddy down at the body shop, then you got a chance to get some new mods done and let insurance foot the bill. haha.

maybe a new paint job? im hoping someone keys my car so i can get the two-tone paint i want done. haha.

anyways, good luck on the repairs. I CANT wait for my S-Tech's to get here. im hoping they get delivered and i can have them installed in the next week or two.

[htheduck]

Here's my RS 3.0 just about a month of ownership; the rims from my previous car happen to fit the xD! (SSR 17x7.5+35, BFG 235/45).

It will go back to steelies for the daily commute.

[TexXBox]

Nice. I love it when previous stuff carries over. Saves some coin. :)

[1sweetxd]

just installed my new Tein S-Techs this weekend. really quick install and it looks sick!! eliminated all of the wheel gap. i will have some better pictures up in a day or two.

Have had my xD for a while but just recently started to "mod" it. In the last two months shes gotten TRD springs/shocks, TRD rear swaybar, TRD SSK, NST SSK, NST pulley, Spectra intake, tint, rear wing and sharkfin antenna. Just ordered TRD sport exhaust and planning on getting the Weapon R header as well....xD FTW.

Hey justin, very nice work. Looking good. How hard was it to install the wing? I might be ordering one.

[Jmneal]

Not hard at all, 4 bolts are all that hold it on and they are pretty easy to get to. Shouldn't take you more than 10-15 min to do.

[1sweetxd]

isnt' that the stock wing?

I am so jellous of you Dan, I wish I had places like that here. I want to go rally style so bad but it wont fit right with my area. Its all street here.

[robbiej]

Great pics Dan.

[TheJonas53]

Thanks. Those were from my trip to South Dakota in early August. I live in Milwaukee, WI so its mostly city here too. I just go off and find places to play in the mud :cool:. I should have some other pictures to post near the end of September from the rally event I plan on doing. We will see what I break this time lol.

[TexXBox]

Nice...

The sky is awesome in your pics. Everything looks especially wicked to me in the black and white-ish shot that makes the background go along with your ride. :cool:

Looks good.

[jester4666]

wow, they look really good on there.

[YELOSUB]

Yep, they look awesome!

[TexXBox]

xD's look better with 'Vette wheels than 'vettes do......... Like the way they fill the wheel wells.

[1sweetxd]

found another pic from when i had my springs put on. thought it was an interesting angle.


oh and by the way, i put my car up on stands this past weekend and cut out the areas of my fender liners that i was rubbing and now the car rides like a dream. couldn't be happier with the Teins.

[YELOSUB]

Just cleaned my ride and snapped some quick pics with my HTC Thunderbolt...Didn't open the ragtop, sorry...

One at the gas station:

[YELOSUB]

Thank you very much Gregg and Matt, I appreciate it...Still got a ways to go but she's getting there...

[simmons0613]

I just absolutely love your rims.

[YELOSUB]

I wish they were 9.5" wide in the rear...I really wanna run a 18x8.5 up front and 18x9.5 in the rear...Get some camber shims and slam it LOW...

[CWB211]

Agreed on the rims. I wish they weren't a discontinued model. I'm in the market for rims now and I'd love a pair of those.

And man would I love to see that setup if they did make them that wide!

[jester4666]

got mine back from the body shop

I gotta say, Hot Lava is by far my favorite RS color. Makes me drool every time. Lookin' good Brian.

[CWB211]

I tend to agree on the lava color. Always loved it.

[jester4666]

yes, Lava D's are beautiful.....but i might be a little biased. lol.

[simmons0613]

I have 2 or 3 Lava D floating around here but 3 way old ladies drive them lol

:happy107: Every time I've had a car I would have fun like that in, it was incapable of having that fun. And every car I've had that could have fun like that, I haven't had the balls to do it in 'cause I didn't want to ruin it.

Rally on Dan!

[TheJonas53]

Thanks Steve. The car is pretty much a beast. I have only broke one trans mount and drive axle doing this. Plus the scrapes in the front bumper. I just fix that with stickers.

Here are a couple more.

[1sweetxd]

this lovely incident happened this past saturday night. was at a friend's house and someone backed into me. was pretty pissed, but oh well. that's why we have insurance right. should have it fixed in a week or so. i hope. maybe i can work a couple extras into the deal.

[CWB211]

Ouch, that sucks. I've had people back up into me before, and yeah, glad insurance covered the whole thing... plus a bit extra!

[YELOSUB]

Damn, gotch' ya good...

[1sweetxd]

yea, they got me pretty good on that one. im hoping to have the car in the shop next week. been taking a little longer dealing with insurance and adjusters.

and got bored the other day and snapped a couple better quality pics of my interior and my engine cover. enjoy!!

[JDMJim]

i should say you got bored...

[YELOSUB]

You need to hit up Randode.com for the vinyl overlays for the engine cover...It looks like these...

New shoes. 326

[xd_kidd]

looks dope. what suspension you on?

[CWB211]

Those vinyl overlays are awesome... may have to hit that up when it gets warmer out again.

As for the new wheels they looks cool on your xD. Colors go nicely imo.

[manley81bass]

Thanks. On Tein S-techs.

[YELOSUB]

Ok got some updated shots of mine all taken with camera phone...

On the way to SEMA, look how low I am on DF210's:

[xDizzle]

Sweet pix yelosub ur car is always nice to look at

[YELOSUB]

Thanks Kevin...

[CWB211]

How has the ragtop been doing for you lately? I know you said you wouldnt use it much until the cooler weather hit. Ive been thinking about getting a sunroof put in mine lately... just a lot of money to drop on an aftermarket install.

[xDizzle]

I need to get some rolling shots ASAP lol

[YELOSUB]

Gregg, ragtop is awesome...Took some time for me to get used to opening and shutting it but I love driving with it open...There is more wind noise but I've got a system so it cures that problem...

[YELOSUB]

This picture was taken yesterday from a landing up above my ride...I wanted to show how large the ragtop opened and thought it made for a cool pic, even for a camera phone...Perfect ragtop weather in AZ right now :)

http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb107/yelosub/IMAG0892-2.jpg

[1sweetxd]

that ragtop is sweet as hell!!! here's a pic of my repaired car. finally got it back yesterday.

next on the list; a new hood in about a month or so. since the insurance already paid for the paint. lol.

and with all the settling my car has done, im barely tucking a little tire in the last pic!!! :)

[xd king]

new set up
17x9 -11 front
17x9 -8 rear

i still need to roll the fenders
add more front camber
and dump it !

http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/sublime12987/gassinup.jpg

[1sweetxd]

nice!! and look at that tow hook! :) i painted my tow hook bright green and keep it on the car. i swear that gets my car more attention than any other mod ive done. lmao. i prolly have at least 2 to 3 people a day come up and ask me what the hell that thing is sticking out the front of my bumper. gas stations, stores, literally anywhere i get out, people will come up and ask.

[xd king]

i get that too

and i get "i think your rear axle's are broken":laughing1:

[ThisorThatxD]

haha nice pics guys. i get the same thing for my hook. i was going on base and the guard was like "you forgot your hook up front."

[xDTool]

http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2/sublime12987/gassinup.jpg

Nice spec's , fronts pretty spot on for what youre trying to accomplish, the rear needs fenderwork bad though, not digging it at all. need to roll and pull.

[xd king]

yeah im not done yet, needs more front camber , roll/pull rear quarter panels ,and drop it about half inch all the way around

heres some pics of the new emblems i put on. they are legit Toyota emblems from a dealership. the back one fits pretty good. the front one is actually a lot smaller than the scion emblem. im now trying to get my hands on a Tundra emblem since they are a lil bigger. but overall, still not bad looking for a FREE mod!! :happy107:

[Resolve]

I need to upload some more pics. and need some rear camber like xd king. But if all goes planned which it should. My D will be parked and overhauled. :) Suspension work redone well more so just rerunning airlines and wires and incorporationg a system. finishing some majorly neglected interior work and exterior body work. Nothing looks bad right now other than tank area do to old system being pulled out.

a shot of the toys. you guys are killing me with the extra low xD's...I might need to source some new springs granted the xB makes everything look unlowered.

My buddies TC got second (the two tone one) third went to a 2012 mercedes, and 1st went to a 1989 porsche. both the benz and porsche were bone stock. first, why they were in our class, i dunno. secondly, IMO i dont think ANY stock vehicle should ever place in a show no matter what type or how much it costs. the purpose of a car show is to showcase custom cars, not something you can drive off the lot. anyways, here is a pic of my car and a couple friends who went out with me.

well, just rememebr to go to shows in support of our culture and not to win trohies. Thats just the bonus...

i totally agree! i didnt really expect to win anything. i just wanted to show the car off and check out some of the other rides. plus it was a show for the local high schools graduation so all the proceeds went to them. it was for a good cause and that was the main point

exactly. im showing my car this weekend at "cars for a cause". all proceeds go to cancer research. a trophy doesnt really amount to anything after that.

Yeah trophies are nice especially since this was your first show. I know first hand the experiences of feeling wronged not so much the not getting a trophy part, but more so cars getting trophies in classes they shouldn't have been in and only put there becuase the JUDGES felt they should be in said class. But I for the most part don't care about trophies like I did when I first started. I like getting them but I am more at shows for support and to hang with friends even if I have seen the same cars 2 million times.

Also some of these cars stock that are more expensive are alot nicer than cars like ours fully done and the thing about judging is it is all subjective to what the judge likes and how they feel. Coming from being a judge at a few shows and even being called in to rejudge and be tie breaker judge at shows I have entered my car I know how hard it is to judge some cars. I don't know the quality of the cars at this show, but I have given higher numbers to relative stock cars over cars with multiple work done simply due to the cleanliness of the car and how well everything fits and flows. Sometimes it is not the amount of work it is the quality. And some times it only takes that 1 point to beat the guy next to you.

But good luck at future shows and glad you had fun.

never complain to the officials either about car placing.....that's a nail in the coffin. It took me a few shows before I got the presentation down.

i, almost always, get 1st in my class when i show. it actually is surprising when i don't get anything.

Like the Chrome Blue look

I wish that I could take a picture that will capture the true color of the wheels. They are a more vibrant blue in person. If you go to asylum this year you'll be able to see the true color
