2004 Scion XB Custom Hot Rod
This is not your typical Scion XB, this is a completely custom built V8 powered, RWD, 450 HP Hot Rod monster of a Scion. A no expense spared transformation happened to this particular Scion XB with completely custom frame and structure fabrication by Advanced Automotive Concepts. This is NOT a Front Wheel Drive car, it has been customized and rebuilt with a tubbed rear end and rear wheel drive. This car is a real attention grabber wherever you go with it..and they will hear you coming. The V8 sounds like rolling thunder and has all the power to back it up. Engine and Transmission: This Scion has a completely rebuilt, blueprinted and stroked 383 V8 putting out 450HP. There is an 8.8" rear end with a 3.73 gear ratio. There was a 700R Transmission installed to handle all of the power. The engine bay is filled with chrome pieces and is as breathtaking as the rest of the car. The car has a custom fuel cell located under neath of the rear trunk area with a access panel hidden in the rear trunk. There is a massive fuel pump installed in the fuel cell. Interior With the exception of the gauges hidden in the center console cubby, this interior is pretty much directly as it came from the factory. Black cloth seats, steering wheel, factory radio, etc are all in place and functioning. Turn signals and lights all work. If you were just looking at the interior, you'd have no idea what this car had under the hood. Exterior: The car was completely gone over and repainted in Burnt Tangerine. It was painted by a reputable shop, Ed and Jim's here in Baltimore. The car looking absolutely brilliant in person. The pictures do not do this paint justice. It pops. The body is free of any dings and dents. It was completely gone over prior to paint. There is a tasteful body kit installed on the car that gives it a slightly more aggressive look. Headlights, turn signals and rear lights work. Underneath this car: This is where the custom fabrication took place. Advanced Automotive Concepts here in Baltimore went through and did a completely custom fabrication and engineering to convert this car from FWD to RWD. Look at the pictures to see everything. Custom engine cradle, custom strut towers, custom exhaust, custom steering rack, engine mounts, etc. Everything was custom fabricated to create a RWD Scion XB with a V8. This was built correctly and it shows in the photos and the drive. This car starts right up with a turn of the key. It runs and drives with no issue. It was professionally built with driving it on the road in mind. I have uploaded a lot of photos of this car. There is a link to all of them here: ADDITIONAL PICTURES |

Toyota wants improved crash scores with midcycle facelifts
Thu, 29 Aug 2013The performances of some Toyotas in the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's (IIHS) regimen of crash tests leave something to be desired. Consider the small overlap frontal crash test: only six Toyota, Lexus and Scion vehicles have undergone the new test, yet all but one of them received a poor rating. Osama Nagata, CEO of Toyota Motor Engineering & Manufacturing North America Inc., says midcycle vehicle updates are in the works to address the safety issues brought to light by the IIHS test, Automotive News reports. He confirmed that the RAV4 is getting safety updates following its crash test performance last month, but he didn't name any other models.
All three Toyotas that were tested - 2013 RAV4, 2012-2013 Prius V, 2012-2013 Camry - received poor ratings. The 2007-2012 Lexus ES 350 and 2006-2013 IS 250/350 also received poor ratings. The only other Toyota Motor Corp. vehicle to score better than poor is the 2014 Scion TC. It received an acceptable rating in the small overlap frontal crash test and is the only recent vehicle in Toyota's line-up to get the IIHS Top Safety Pick+ rating.
The small overlap front crash test measures the safety of a car when its front left corner is strikes an object during an accident, bypassing traditional crumple zones, which deform in a way to protect passengers. In 2009, automakers were alerted to the forthcoming addition of the test, which was first implemented last year, IIHS spokesman Russ Rader says. They responded with differing intensity, he says, pointing out that Subaru and Honda started incorporating design changes early on so their cars would perform well in the tests.
Scion announces FR-S Release Series 1.0 in New York
Wed, 16 Apr 2014In the market for a Scion FR-S (or Subaru BRZ), but don't want the same one your neighbor's got? Scion has good news for you. At the New York Auto Show today, the Japanese automaker has announced the availability of this FR-S Release Series 1.0.
As the first Release Series FR-S (the aging xB is debuting its tenth alongside it), this special edition has been spruced up by Toyota Racing Development with a series of visual and aerodynamic enhancements to give the FR-S a bit of extra edge. Included in the Release Series 1.0 is an upgraded aero kit, an exhaust tip for every cylinder in the engine (that makes four, folks), and a lowered suspension with TRD springs and HID headlamps. Did we mention it's all capped by Yuzu yellow paint?
Inside, you'll find black seats with T-pattern upholstery, a TRD steering wheel, shifter and cargo mat, dual-zone climate control and push-button ignition with smart key. Scion isn't saying exactly what this model will cost, but it is saying it will come in under $30,000 (before the $755 delivery charge).
2014 Scion tC taps into its inner FR-S
Thu, 28 Mar 2013Cashing in on some of the excitement surrounding the FR-S, Scion has given its front-wheel drive coupe a refreshed look at the New York Auto Show. When the 2014 Scion tC shows up at dealers this June, the entry-level coupe with have an improved exterior styling to give the car a sportier appearance while also adding some new cabin tech and an updated six-speed automatic transmission.
The new face of the tC includes an oversized lower grille very similar to the FR-S, but reshaped headlights, hood and vertical lower accent lights also creates a more dynamic look for this budget-priced coupe. At the rear of the car, clear-lensed taillights and a blacked-out lower diffuser finishes the major styling changes. Inside, a new touchscreen audio system also includes Bluetooth connectivity, and the optional Scion BeSpoke Premium Audio includes navigation and Aha Internet radio app.
Building on the tC's sportier image, the automatic transmission adds a little extra excitement as well with a new manual shift mode and a rev-matching, throttle-blipping feature. For better driving dynamics, Scion also promises a more rigid body structure and enhanced suspension components. Scroll down to read all about the 2014 tC in the official press release.
