my 08 scion xD

[jester4666]

i'm new to the stance scene, so bear with me. i have a 2008 Scion xD Release Series 1.0, #514 of 2000. as it sits now is how i bought it. i just purchased some 16x7 XXR 002 wheels for an old school look and i have Tein S-tech springs on the wish list. the TRD springs with the 1.5" drop isn't low enough to qualify for stance. but, here she is:




i will update this as i get stuff done. first update will be in a couple weeks when i get tires for my new wheels. lol.

[AwesomeOne]

ah yes, the XD of plenty, lol.... bought time you posted it up here

[jester4666]

well, the new wheels are on. next step, too bring her down some more.

[DutchStance]

Holy tires Batman!
How will you get sum decent low with so much tire!

[jester4666]

because a these new wheels will tuck. i'm really not into having my teeth shaken out of my head with so little tire. main reason i took my 18s off.

[lilben94]

pretty nice!

There is failure written all over this. I have never seen one of these done right.

Go ahead prove me wrong.

I give people respect for having the inspiration to work on cars.
Scion xD is not a car however - it's a vehicle. What would you say if somebody started modding a washing machine? Or a microwave? Scion xD was built to take ppl from point A to point B reliably and for cheap. It is an appliance on wheels. That it achieves but not much else. The seats are uncomfortable. The driving position isn't designed for humans. The carpet on the floor falls apart in 50K miles ( yes, using floor mats). German cars from 30 years ago are better than this.
OP, I wish you luck and have nothing against you. My advice - don't waste money on this vehicle.

then you really have no experience with these cars, so your opinion means nothing.

[Marsss]

OP, opinions are like assholes.... you know the rest..
Do your thing man.

[jester4666]

lol. i always do.

Well again I wasn't attacking OP, just sharing my opinion. Don't take it personally - I don't even know you.
I actually have been driving xA, xB(1st and 2nd gen) and xD for over 5 years now daily (company cars) and have put over 100K miles on each model. 2 gen xB is actully not a bad car at all.

[Chuckdee]

interesting....

i'm never offended by the interwebz. lol. i have no idea how you are treating those company cars, but scions are pretty durable.

interesting....

that's the point. lol.

So you go on a stance forum and don't like opinions the people are giving you on a FORUM. First you come in with a xd, than you use the most over played knock of wheels you can buy and plan on "stancing" your car with lowering springs LOL. Than you give the excuse of hard hits with lower profile tire when u want a slammed car. Gtfo
