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

Scion reveals SEMA concepts, Tuner Challenge finalists

Thu, 31 Oct 2013

Scion has become something of a tuner favorite, so it's only fitting that Toyota's youth-oriented brand have an array of show cars ready for SEMA each year. And this year will be no exception.
Scion itself is bringing five cars to SEMA this year, and as you might expect, they're mostly based on the FR-S. There's a black one done in partnership with DJ Steve Aoki with an onboard mixing station, another (in white and black) done with Bulletproof Automotive with a 500-horsepower engine and fresh bodywork, a grey one done up with GReddy with a 750-horsepower turbocharged engine and, the slickest of the group, the Style J concept (pictured above) with matte grey bodywork, a Scirocco-style nose and a full leather interior. There's also a stretched xB done up by Cartel Customs and laden with tech.
Aside from Scion's own show cars, the automaker has also released the details on three entries for its Tuner Challenge: one each from the East Coast, Pacific Northwest and Southern California. Scion gave each builder a stock tC, 90 days and $15,000 to build their concepts that will be judged by an expert panel at the SEMA show, with the winner taking home a $10,000 prize.

Toyota GT86 gets TRD treatment in UK

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

As dearly as we love the Toyota GT86 / Scion FR-S / Subaru BRZ franchise, we readily admit we wouldn't look sideways at a model with a bit more firepower. And while that's not quite on the table yet, Toyota has been busy amping up the visual firepower of its rear-drive coupe with a whole host of TRD parts. To this point, that's been a largely à la carte affair, but the automaker's UK outpost has just announced a special-edition model that allows our British friends to pick up the whole shooting match all in one go.
The Toyota GT86 TRD will only be available in black and white, and just 250 examples are to be built. As you can see from the excellent gallery above, the catalog of look-faster bits include a more aggressive front air dam, side skirts, rear bumper fascia, spoiler and unique 18-inch forged alloys. Additional flourishes include a TRD shift lever and branded radiator cap. The sole concession to actual performance? A "fast-response quad exhaust" that might only improve things audibly - 0-62 mph is apparently unchanged at 7.7 seconds, and the top end is still 140 mph for the manual transmission model. (The auto gets by with 8.4 seconds and 130 mph).
Pricing? Glad you asked. £31,495 for GT 86 TRD manual, £32,995 for the automatic - that's nearly $50,000 US for the tripedalist and just over for the automatic. (Those are heady prices, but bear in mind that UK MSRPs and taxes are generally significantly higher than their US counterparts). If the standard GT86 is more your speed, it still rings up at a more affordable £24,995 - roughly $39,500 - leaving plenty of budget for actual performance parts. No word yet on North American availability of a special TRD model, but we've got a call in...

Toyota Pro/Celebrity race switching from Scion tC to FR-S [w/video]

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Toyota has announced that the rear-wheel-drive Scion FR-S will replace the front-wheel-drive Scion tC as the racecar used by actors, singers and celebrities of all grades in its annual Toyota Pro/Celebrity Race. It's the first time a rear-drive vehicle has been used for the event in 27 years, with the tC having been in use since 2005, and the FWD Celica before that. This year's race takes place on April 20th amidst the festivities of the Toyota Grand Prix of Long Beach weekend.
The racing FR-S, which debuted today at the Chicago Auto Show, won't be left stock either, but rather outfitted with a range of official Toyota Racing Development parts and equipment, such as a stainless steel exhaust, new coil overs and springs, upgraded brakes, a bigger air intake and 18-inch wheels, not to mention all of the safety equipment required to keep the celebrities and pro drivers safe. The company says the performance mods have lifted horsepower to 210 from the standard car's 200. Check out the build process for the cars in the video below to see just how much work's been done.
The Toyota Pro/Celebrity race is also about more than just letting celebrities and pros do battle on a road course. The spectacle helps raise money for "Racing for Kids," a non-profit charity that supports children's hospitals in the US.
