You know nothing!

BTW, my tummy cramped from lol so hard when you said canyon race. only idiots canyon race. the rest of us do it for personal satisfaction. not to gain popularity, or quench a need to feel better then other because you have self esteem issues.

Also if you know so much about drifting. You'd know the power levels of non-pro is rarely about 350whp. so stretching a tire is fine. as you near pro level the power is up around 450-500+. in which you need to go back towards a meatier tire as a basis for controlling transition. You know so little is comical. You should just enjoy your showcar xb. and shut the f**k up.


Suddenly I see why remedial courses were created.

read my posts over, When and where did I claim to know about drifting?

Yeah right.

Until then, you'll be lucky not to understeer off the canyon in that bigass FWD cardboard box.

Seriously, tuning a Scion, more importantly a Scion XB... is just retarded.

Fucking lunchbox on wheels.

I'll give you 30 dollars if you can even remotely keepup with my wife's Miata in that POS. Mind you, it only has a measly 140HP.

Scion XB = yawn

If you're so cal youre on, I'll put my money where my mouth is.

[yarou]

Regardless of this stupid shit you're whining about in this thread, you could at least write all of that in one post, takumi.

[xcusememisswyn]

Haha, urethane bushings, sway bars, a shock/spring combo, and some 215 Azenis and your suddenly the fastest car on the street?

Most these cars have those suspension mods at a minimum, make more power, are rwd, have a better turning radius, are running AT LEAST 215's, and arent top heavy. You would get smacked my friend, you arent talking to the average civic owner on cut springs who pulls the e-brake around turns while claiming hes the next Vaughn Gitten.

And when it comes down to it, your still racing a lunch box at 40mph... yah, its fast for a lunchbox, but that sure as hell doesnt make it cool.

[5t341tH]

YAY for stretch tires!!
stop going in threads and complaining about the topic. geez
heres my super mild stretch
235/45 on a 9

[steve shadows]

^ what wheels are those im just curious

they are slicks, the cars suspension geometry is designed for differnt setting per compound with 100,000-2,000,000 worth of development into when to use said tires on said rims

on a chasis that light, compact and center of gravity so tight , depending on road surface to make up for Tire that has a softer sidewall a race team might "stretch" in a pinch.

are you spending all day every day sourcing up photos of actual race cars that have stretched tires?

haha

all that really needs to be said is:

1.5L 108 hp L4


even with all your dope canyon carving "mods", you're pushing maybe 120hp. so you're only 35hp behind a wider car with wider tires, rwd drive train and better suspension design.

sure dude, nice show car. Why do you post here again?

Just like you close minded idiots; I know my car is capable of handling the turns just as good as any car on this forum. And yes, I do consider myself to be one of the faster one who goes to the canyons. Don't you think so? Wouldn't it be embarassing to see a Scion xB pulling away from you in a corner?

On a side note: The only reason why I canyon race is because I work a lot, and pay a lot of bills, once the car is done, trust me I'll be whoring it out at the tracks. Till then, I'll have my fun at the canyons.

Are you for serious?

Are you really that stupid?

Are we really getting this much detritus in one day?

You have S-techs, dude. S-techs. Oh, and your box weighs more than my S13.

Will you put my mouth where your mouth is?

OH I'm up for it, but you lead, and don't surprised when it looks like I'm not racing you at all, just drive as fast as possible and take turns way faster than you should, I promise I'm racing and not just waiting for you to crash and die.

are you spending all day every day sourcing up photos of actual race cars that have stretched tires?

Yeah you got a problem with that! LETS SETTLE IT ON THE TOUGE! TOO GAY!

axxis pads will kill you.
tein s-techs? we all have $1200+ coilovers
16x7? cough cough

and how come i cant see the sparco seats? it looks like theres headrests
and its super unsafe to road 4 or 5 pt harnesses with no roll bar/cage.

i hope your break your spine when you rear end someone cuz your axxis pads faded too much from the touge!

[ayuaddict]

i thought canyons were from like nevada or some shit?

just out of curiosity.

you stated you gutted your XB.

can you still make that cool bed by folding the seats all cool-like?

if not, your car is kinda worthless.

wtf is wrong with Axxis Ultimates?

Did I say i race GMR? I have yet to mention any canyon that I run. (which is mostly all BUT GMR) I refuse to run there untill I get my cage, for the same reason why I'm quoting you.

Ohh god give it a rest you baught a Scion Xb not a fucking built "Canyon car".
I dont understand why these types of people try to convince us their "Car" is superior when its only purpose was to appeal to high schoolers.

Oh you got me on a technicality.

BFD.

GMR or LAC or WTFEVER

You're still a moron. You race a toaster in whatever the hell canyon you want, with no roll protection on a car that's center of gravity is about as high as your forehead.

You wear a fucking harness in a car with no roll bar too, which means when, and not IF, but WHEN, you roll your piece of crap car your girlfriend bought you, then the roof will enclose on your skull, and crush your spine (God can ONLY hope.) because you do not have any side to side leeway in a harness, that's why they're ONLY MADE TO BE USED WITH A ROLL BAR.

After you and Racepar1 are done playing Initial D at Life Plaza, you can go break into a school, go into the boy's locker room, take out all the little boys underwear, sniff them until you have huge boners, make a pile out of them, get naked, rub eachother in baby oil and rainbow glitter, and beat eachother off while listening to Michael Bolton.

I'll say it again, get the HELLLL outta here. You will not win any battles here today, give up, you've already lost a thousand times.

Excellent. Excellent.

Here is a pic of my wifey's car: http://clearcorners.com/products/maz...featcarA08.jpg

Take a good minute and remember the LED taillamps, since this is the only part of the car you will ever see.

The point here isnt to act macho or put someone else down for having another (lesser) car, but you've got to understand a few things first.

For one, you need to understand what a Scion XB is, and what it will always be. If you think a few modifications will make that bucket special, you're wrong. Maybe you're a good driver and have good car control, thats fine - we're all very proud of you. But do us all a favor, dont come on Zilvia talking about how great your XB is. Most of us are pretty technical and know shit from swiss cheese.

Funny, believe it or not.. I've made lights for the last XB and I just finished lights for the current XB, and I absolutely refuse to list them on the site. I fucking hate that car, and I am thinking of axe-ing the entire Scion brand from the site because the cars lack one thing - class.

[k's_silvia2.0]

^OHHHHH SNAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Squidd.
Thats great.

Nothing is wrong with Axxis pads, I've ran them for years. The metallics are great, the ultimates are OK - but I still prefer the metal masters. The fanboys on Zilvia are hating because they'de rather promote obscure "Japanese-made" parts like ENDLESS.

I ran some Hawk HPS pads this time around and they're good. A bit better than the Axxis Metallics, but still.. nothing too different. I like the Hawk pads more, but Axxis makes very good pads too. Reasonably priced as well.

blah blah, I cant believe you're trying to put down those parts.

The main difference isnt between the wheel size and/or springs vs coilovers, its with the FUCKING car itself.

On my S13, I ran Tokico shocks and springs for YEARS before going with $2000 dollar coilovers. Big fucking deal. The coilovers are better, but they're not INSANELY better. There's a point of diminishing returns. Just because a suspension is more expensive, doesnt always mean that its a world of a difference. Whats more important is the car, the overal setup, and the tuning. An expensive coilover setup is useless if its not setup with proper alignment, stiffness, height. Most of the people that run coilovers dont even adjust them properly. Too many settings, not enough knowledge.

For the wheels, does it matter if they're 16x7 or 16x9? Who cares? What matters is what tire he has and what compound he runs.

But that still doesnt change the fact that its a POS XB.
