suspension travel is for wusses! springs with koni rear shocks is supa.
Bought something, so here's the update!
1) Rockblocker - check
2) Floor mats - installed yesterday, $57 from trdsparks.com. F the dealership trying to charge me $120 for the same floor mats :P
3) Scionarmest.com - ordered today, so i hope to have it next week
Next up:
4) 215/40/17 Falken Ziex 512's - up next on RH C5's. I'm going to test fit the wheels to make sure there are no hub bore clearance issues. If everything is good, I will order 215/40/17 Falken Ziex 512's and hope to have them on next week.
5) Tint - not so soon ;) unless I get a wild hair up my ass and get it done this weekend?
6) Alarm - might get the viper with the 1/4 mile paging system...maybe on Saturday
7) Springs - I dunno, I'm affraid about lack of suspension travel? And I don't feel like getting dirty :shock: Maybe Oct?
Another fast update for a slow ride :)

Is it possible to get the 05's still?
wgnths
09-07-2005, 02:06 PM
may be one or two autos left over but the 06's are the same, other than a couple new colors. price hasnt changed.
No reason to really go for an '05 even if you could find one.
I think the '06's went up like $125 or so.
Ruiner77
09-07-2005, 02:21 PM
wha? they didnt lower the price to get em off the lot?
and i actualy would think about manual at this point. the wife got pissed when i told her that, but if its an easy clutch, then she may not mind. the only reason im lookin at it is gas milage and low cost.
wgnths
09-07-2005, 02:30 PM
lol, lower the price to get rid of them!!!!!? they cant keep any on the lots to begin with! thats why kev had to wait, most people have to order them because they sell so fast.
Ruiner77
09-07-2005, 02:32 PM
LOLOL well ok then hehe. most cars ive looked at were lower for the late models :P but i can understand if they cant even keep em in stock. well at least i know what im dealin with then. and you said scion's are set prices right? are those set prices the exact ones that are listed on their site?
Website prices = car's price

215/40/17 Falken Ziez 512's have been ordered from Discount Direct.
I'll be getting them mounted on the Racing Harts on the 19th after I get back from Nats! Discount is going to hook me up with the proper centering rings too :) DTD = teh win
Last night I picked up some Motegi black spline drive tuner lugs.
Tint and springs will probably be done this month too :lol:

I love how I find out what's up next for the toaster by reading what's on here. :wink: I thought I was going to have to put tail lights on my x-mas list. :D

What's the wheel size and offset? Looks good.
wgnths
09-21-2005, 05:27 PM
i cant remember what the offset on those are, they were on my spec v before. i would say around the +42ish?
17x7 40 offset
Thanks for the compliments. Erin sure does know how to pick a wheel and when to powdercoat them! Hawt.

Don't keep calling Kev a ninja... it'll go to his head. :wink:
I think the two most hillarious things about the toaster are
(1.) the 'looks' you get, and how... when people are in their car... they're so not masking what they're think... and they get this look on their face like they just took a mouthfull of dookie.
and (2.) the comments.
I've had... ice cream truck, bread box, refrigerator box, the box... I still like toaster best. ;)
Erin keep 'Pimpin' your toaster... it gives Kev ideas for ours. :lol:

yeah we get crazy looks. if anyone says anything i mention 34mpg and drive off. :P
Tails come in on Wednesday. I can't wait. I've seen 3 different Xb's this week with the euro tails. 1 camo, 1 black cherry, and one black.
Julie got her vanity plate. Maybe I should ask her what she got? heh
wgnths
09-26-2005, 08:40 PM
the tails make such a difference. those stockers suckage.
They do make a huge difference!

how long did it take to figure them out finally!? :lol: stupid directions.
Just a few minutes after I talked to you :oops: . I can't believe they didn't allow for more access room. The f'ing plastic panels were designed to keep you away from the nuts. The worst part were the top nuts, because of the angle the socket kept slipping off and rounding the nuts. If I ever take these beotches off, then I will need new nuts.
It should've been a 10 minute job, but took like 40 minutes. Still cheaper than paying the dealer!

I told him, but I'm excited about it. :)

Looking good, you just need to lower it before you get light headed by the loss of blood through the nostrels (I wish I could spell)
Yup, I'm waiting for the hotchkis springs to be shipped. The Toaster will be dropped ASAP.

Kev,
We need to smoke those now!! The tails look really good man!
We'll have to see what the wifey says. It's her whip not mine!

I got pics of Erin's smoked that I will post up later. Looks good. He didnt want them done until I put a piece of scrap on there.

Let's see a pic! Right now they are a HUUUGE improvement over the stock ones, but that doesn't mean I can't be sold on a slight mod. ;)
wgnths
10-03-2005, 08:43 AM
i posted pics of them smoked in my thread, check em out! blends really nice with the color.

The tails did look good. Not something we have to do right away, since springs are supposedly going on today.
But the fogs look...... saucy! I've wanted fogs, Kev didn't because he didn't like they way they look.... I do.... :lol:
Couldn't really see the Bb logo too well. :P
wgnths
10-04-2005, 02:57 PM
yeah i forgot to really take a pic of it, i just wanted something much smaller than the huge scion badge!
The Hotchkis springs are in. It took like 2.5 hours because I lost a rear shock nut and had to take apart the trunk, rear seat, and side body panels to get it :(
The hotchkis kit came with some nice poly-like bumpstops (no trimming the stock ones beotch!)
Initial thoughts....it's awesome. The stance is sweet and the ride is better than stock!
A+ it's too dark for pics I think. I might try later.

I saw you guys parked next to it - but I never saw you all! I left after Kev's run group tho.
wgnths
10-10-2005, 12:18 PM
i think we just missed each other! i was asking for you, but you were already gone!
15% tint in the rear
35% (or whatever was the darkest legal in the front)
and a sweet windshield strip with a sweet arc in 15%
It looks awesome. I really wanted to go dark in the front windows, but it would've attracted way too much f'ing bad (ie..the man aka...the po po, Five-O) attention.
I'll take some pics tomorrow after I clean the bish up.
