We need some variety here. Looking at Hondas all day kinda sucks. I;ve love to start seeing some different cars in here with big crazy snails or even a shady junkyard kit. Just need something different....

BTW, I like the Scions. :P
Amen man, that's why I'm here

The only forced induction I've seen for the scion is a supercharger from blitz. It only made 130whp I think?!

the Xb does looks a little top heavy but it actually handles just like a small car, not to mention the suspension is very stiff, feels kinda like aftermarket setups.

i've test driven one, it doesnt have power, but its all good. Its not supposed to be a race car. It's a grocery car. I'm surprised at how much room there actually is inside.

I'd rock the "shoe box" over a minivan anyday.

so what size turbo do u guys think he can use.
it just needs a LOT more low- mid rpm range power.
on a stock motor i wouldn`t go over say 5 to 6 psi with a small turbo.
a small IHI may be?
