Default Photoshoot in the hills of Ventura County! (56k take a nap)

Thanks so much to Edwin (P-Shooter) for taking the pics in 47 degree weather. Many of the pics look the same, but deal with it.

Please keep rude comments to yourself, if you feel like expressing yourself in a rude fashion, click the PM button & I'll respond accordingly, no point in public bashing, lord knows ScionLife doesn't need anymore of that.

I could've slammed the car more, but I really didn't feel like messing with the Air Runner settings, so I just kept it at the settings I normally drive it with.

Sorry to Tom from MySpace, I hotlinked all the pics.



(Probably one of the more true to life of the color pics taken)




(deep dish ftw)
(Yes, I'm fully aware that I need new/bigger exhaust tips, hush)













(That roll cage was a b*tch to put in)

Haha, thank you, I don't know if I'd call it "clean". It's a little extreme. & believe me, I'm nowhere near "ballin'"....I'm broke.

I actually wanna learn some photography skills, too. I have a camera that I don't know what to do with. My car looks super orange in these pictures (I'd like to blame it on the orange street lighting, haha) but the actual color of the car is a lot closer to the first few pics I posted.

Because the car hardly ever comes out to play. She stays in a garage locked up.

I'm always down for meeting up with Scion people. Chatsworth is close to me, if you ever wanna check out the car or anything, click the PM button.

To be honest, I never go by MPG, I go by miles per tank, I know I'm retarded. I'm at ~180 right now & at half a tank. How? I really don't know seeing how my rear tires alone weigh 33 pounds a piece (tire, not rim, the rear wheels are around 28 lbs if memory serves me right but it was in the high 20s for sure). I really wanted to go to a truck weighing station before & after the build but I never got around to it. The widebody as a whole (all 8 pieces) was lighter than my previous body kit (Kaminari). I did however lose a lot of weight in the car with my seats. The seats are probably only about 4 pounds a piece (excluding the brackets & sliders), but I really don't know how much weight I saved/added overall with the change to make a significant difference in mpg.

Yep, 91. I have MoMo Hi-Tech Corse Cup seats...they're discontinued though & full carbon fiber. they're on the top list of one of my favorite mods on the car. As for the intercooler; I was pulled over for a fix it ticket before & they've never asked me to pop my hood or anything.
