miketf1 xB style wagon build

been looking around on the forums for a while and now that i have some momentum going with the mods so now ive decided to post a build thread. 

ive got a 08 scion xb aka toyota corolla rumion in japan. i know there are a few members here that rock the 08 xb too and i hope to join these awesome style wagons

on to pics!

from when i first joined VSC only had lowering springs and some bolt-on engine parts. looked alright but it definately needed work to reach vip style wagon status

my pride and joy of the entire car. honda s2000 seats in a 08 xb. would hate to part with them...

then the ball started to roll. i picked up a five axis lip kit for an awesome price then picked up air ride from maxboost925/grant! these two mods got the ball rolling and my hopes went up..

i know i need wheels.. but i think i will take that slow..

thats a sick color.. is that oem color?

yup oem color.. scion calls it "hypnotic teal mica" does it hypnotize you? haha

looks good man.  can't wait till you get your wheels.  what size offset are you gonna go with?  just curious.  those bolt patterns are 5x100 or 5x114.3?

5x114.3 i think the most i can do is 8wide @35-40et in the front and around 10wide @ 35-40et also..

ive been bouncing around thinking about ame lx or ax or the weds kranze bazreia. not sure yet but im definitely keeping an eye out

bery nice! the engine bay pic looks like a advertisement picture. very nice!!

the gtr wheels look sick

that color is bad ass

I like it.. wheels are to small and tyres are to big for my taste, but I like

i wish they were the gtr wheels! actually the gts/gts-t wheels.. 16x6.5 on 205/55 tires LOL! big + stretch are coming if the bank gets full enough you know?

illuminated door sills.. adds a little bit at night shows..


if this weekend goes as planned i might be picking up a set of ssr viennas.. stay tuned!

Nice.. can't go wrong with a table :biggthumpup:

looks good just need a new set of shoes.

Definitely loving the stance and ride height some nice fitting wheels will set it off...Ive never been a fan of the teal but you rep it well keep us up to date on the progress

i'm not gonna lie dude the box is looking straight nasty.
 
the interior is killing and the stance is turning heads left and right...dayum!!
 
good luck with the rest of the way bru

looking good man.  keep up the good work!!!

yeah I think we all agree that this Xb could use some new wheel

thanks for the compliments guys! i super hope i can pick up the wheels! anxious anxious....

looks good bro

good stuff.. great start to the project.. lot of good pickups.. feeling the color of the car..

lookin good! reppen the 2nd gen nicely..

great start so far! new wheels will help a lot!

Word!!!![quote=ALEXTHESUS*PECT;238378]great start so far! new wheels will help a lot![/quote]

ooh, ooh...  I like!! take a look at the SSR Vienna kleids.... ridiculous

fail. so the seller decided to stop contacting me about he wheels so the wheels will be a little more time. 

and you mean the vienna kleids? i saw those and they are really insane.. i would love to pick up a set but money is a bit tight so gotta give me some time if i were to buy them new!

wow,,, that sucks about your wheels bro... use somebody or a vender on here

whats your opinion on yakima racks? ive been seriously debating getting one of these even though i dont bike or snowboard AKA have no real use LOL..

:wavey:
 
What's up, bro!  You know I love your car already!  I've been waiting on wheels (and attempting to save, but it's not working...) but I'm still waiting to see if someone makes camber shims.  I'd rather get shims and wheels than get some wheels I'm kind of half and half about.  
 
Pics of headliner!  I want to do mine soon!  My roof needs deadened extensively.  Bad.  Too much stereo.  :pat:

there was one guy that supposedly was going to mass manufacturer some camber shims but he disappeared.. still looking for wheels too!

as for the headliner dont have a pic of the DIY but its pretty easy to take out if you take your sweet time doing it..

[IMG]http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3251/3023750209_901aef047e.jpg[/IMG]

headliner is black suede and clearly i still need to do the rest of the pillars.....

please no to bike/snowboard rack especially if you don't use it.  plus it does not belong on a vip style car at all

lolzzz i knew i was being excessive..

I think the rack is nice for the So.Cal surfer look.  I dig it, but I probably won't do it.  bB Squad guys pull it off really well.  
I'll probably do my headliner the same time I deaden my roof.  :D

just wanted to give a stat update and still welcome for input.. nothing much new.. still saving up for some wheels.. been super digging the varianza T1S.. not sure if thats too sport for the green style wagon.. :P

dam dude! love your car! HERRA nice! :biggthumpup:
should update your pics man!









:giggity:

just wanted to post up some more progress pics.. picked up a set of work vs-xx in 18x8 +26 on falken fk452 215/35/18 and 18x9 +39 on 225/35/18.. 2.5" lip all around

its a pretty good stretch i think and its a pretty good poke. would like to get some spacers in the rear to give me something a little more aggressive but thats in the future.
