He used to hang out a lot at the Steven's Creek Scion, and his car was at Night Shift in Pleasanton (Different color then, as well as he did not have the Skyline tail lights at Night Shift)

The xA has a curb weight of 2350 lbs. I seriously doubt he has an extra 900 lbs of bondo, tubing, and audio equipment in that car.
Regardless, the car isn't autocross ready, but get your numbers straight.

Guys, come on.
Anyway, I agree that car for sale is ugly, but some how the guy got the idea and parts. Sure we all wanted projector lamps like the xb, but no one offered them. Second, not sure I would go through all those mods to put honda lamps in it. Maybe he had them for some reason or worked at a honda dealer, who knows.
Having owned an xa, with the hostkins sways, urthene bushings and eibach springs, I can see auto cross. I use to drive it to teh point the rear slid around making sharp turns. Not sure why the xa has a larger turning radious than the yaris, but some extra gas on a turn makes it shorter.
