New to the site from New York

Wus up everybody the name is Anthony but you cab call me "Tony" i live in New York City. I have a 2006 silver xB don't have to much mods on it but some of the things i have on her is DC sport Strut Bar, Bbist Hood, Konig 15 x 7 Retrack wheels i also have the exhaust system but can't remember the name my wife had it installed for me as a gift. Next year i'm looking to lower the box with Progress Sport Springs / 1.8 Inch Drop (FR) & 1.5 Inch Drop (RR) and and do the sound system that i've had for about 3 years now and other stuff here are some pics of my ride.





I will be adding the Skyline front Bumper next year.

Welcome to the site!

Thank U.

Yes i'm in bB squad, scionrg, scion life, Scikotics, club xB. As for my skyline bumper that's one of the reasons i have not installed it yet i hear people telling me about overheating so i'm thinking of modifing it but don't know yet what to do.

welcome man, box looks nice....Have you been to Cali before?

^^ dspeedy69 i never been to cali i've been close i was in vagas about 2 yrs ago. How is the gang situation there we have gangs out here in NY but is not like out there out there they are raw G's. I have a friend who's husband is a cartoonest and has offer me jobs at Pixar, Disney, DreamWorks cause i have a back ground in Post Production. I don't moving down to L.A. but the gang violance and the earth quakes i think those are the reason the wife dosen't want to move out there. I would love to be out there for the Music Industry and the Car Hobbie cali has some of the crazy and sick body shops and after market shops. If i was to go to cali i would like to hang with some one who lives there to show me around and make sure i don't end up in the wrong part of the hood...LOL... I want to go for SEMA show maybe next year who knows and also meet with some of the people from the Squad since i have a new family now.

earthquake u dont notice after a while

Gangs are bad in certain parts but def not boys n da hood. I dont think I could leave socal because everything is within 45-60 min drive. We would def welcome ya if you moved down here or just visit. Just let us know and we'll be sure to set something up.

Yea lol you get use to those...

I think i can get use to Cali quick if i was to move there i love warm weather. How is the hangout outhere i'm pretty sure there is alot of local car show and meets. How about the cops out there are they a butch of butt heads when it comes to cars being modify.

The cops are here an there here wit our so-cal chapter we've managed to stay in there good graces just as long as you don't act stupid wit your car they leave us alone

welcome, hold up, is that my old hood?! correct me if im wrong lol, but it looks like it.
on a side note with the skyline, that lower vent will get air to the rad, just make a lower air dam to force it in their, and with the bb hood the hot air escapes through the vents. id recomend an external trans cooler too (if its auto) to help the rad out since the fluid runs throught the rad too.

I don't think so unless u live in PA i bought it from a ScioNRG member and the bumper. The bumper i want to mod but i'm still working on it if i use an external trans cooler i might get heat from the cops if thats that one you put outside the bumper.

What do the cops say and do if your car is like this with long tail pipes cause i know here they would have fun writting tickets for it.

Well no one really sports the Bozosoku style out here but for the most part you get a fix a ticket then you have to remove it an present the car to the court showing you remove it and they sign it off... i think thats how it goes lol

i sold my old hood to some guy in new york and painted it black sand or black cherry i dont remember haha. nah, i dont mean bosu style cooler, just an added cooler under the bumper somewhere so tranny>>radiator>>trans cooler>>tranny agian.
