I have an idea for the site... Somewhere on the begining page where it says xA Tuners, you should put the xA Phantom commercial. You can check it out at www.scion.com . I have it saved on my computer as an avi file, it's 13mb. If you want I can send it to you.

It seems to me that someone just needs to make a better site, with a complete collection of parts for all of them. But its kinda mute since you aready bought the domain name.. Though you could make a sciontuners.com and roll the xatuner, xbtuner, and tctuner all into the same site.. Why limit your customer base. Actually you could even have different groups maintain the sites and all you would have to do is manage the host headers database access.

Isn't that called scionlife?

It's not that any of us are xB "haters"....It's just it seems that everyone is an xB "lover"... there are tons of xB aftermarket out there, very little xA..and yes I'm sure it's because there are tons more xB's on the road... we just want a taste of what yall have.
Don't hate us because we are beautiful...

WORD!!!

Don't get me worng, I love the xB, there is something about them that makes me want to walk up to them and hug them but for crying out loud can't us xA hippies get some love every now and then? I think this website will be a great resource for the xA crowd and I know I would use it.

I have zero interest in doing a entire scion site. Thats what this site is, and a great one for all scions.
I drive an xA and not a xB, or TC for that matter. So with that in mind I am building a site based on what I enjoy, and feel there is a need for.
It really should not effect you to much as a xB driver what the xA drivers decide to do with a site.
Also I am not limiting my customer base, because I am not trying to make money off this. As a matter of fact it is a safe bet I will loose money on this site.

I just know how hard it is to find parts for the xA since they are few and far between from a small handfull of shops.
If you feel a need for a xB only site or another total scion site, go for it, thats what I did.

I cant make every one happy, but atleast I am, hopefully a few others will enjoy the site to.

I would have to pass for a few reasons.
1. I don't really want to eat up my bandwidth with a file like that, if I end up with alot of traffic I could end up owing more a month in a bad way.

2. Not really my style to post up a commercial, Scion does a good enough job getting kids to buy the car. I am more interested in what we all do with our cars after we buy them.

3. when I do/if I start posting video, I preffer it to be of footage shot ourself, or by active contributers to the site. I would rather see a couple of xAs doing a 1/4 mile, or a train of xAs then a promotional type video

hit me up, if your up to it.

I think this site can make a revolution

I want to make some suggestions: (For xATuner.com only)
- When members discuss about anything they bought or installed, they should reference from where they bought and where they installed it. If they did the installation by them selfs they should inculde a DIY guide or instructions. They also must say the price they bought it and/or the installation charge. This will help identify all the parts, websites and shops availabe for xA.
- Make a wishlist of the parts that members want to have. Companies can refer to this list for mostly wanted products.
- Make a "dream drawing" section. Memebers with drawing and painting or memebers with computer graphic skills like Photoshop should participate in this section. For exapmle they can create thier own bodykit. Maybe some companies will use them for their bodykit designing.
- Anything unusal is usally interesting. Even talking about xA/ist in videogames.

Please note and make other suggestions.

Hi fellow xA ers....I'm Mike Jett and yada..I feel like this would be a good time to express my obsession with a site dedecated to the interest of xAistism...mmm that a good site name anyway ,,I have TOXA...I believe is the first xA only club in cali,,and would like to branch out if possible...We fellow xA er's are totally out number according to scion corp...25% of market share of all scions..I hope my bit of commercialism...the scion commercial featuring Paul and me and our cars brought the potential of making our car cooler helped. Anyway I'm an enthusisast and would like to contribute if I can too. PM me if you like..Good Luck to us all.

I have some suggestions for items/links that could be added/included in the site. (Bear with me if I am repeating anything already mentioned, I haven't read the whole thread yet...)

1. All armrest manufactures
2. All performance clutch manufactures
3. Links to local/national rim/wheel repair locations (For all the RS1 owners with cracked 17's like me!)
4. Links/directions to reccomended tint locations

That's all I got for now...
I'll be signing up for the forums now!

for 1 and 2 those should be covered with time.
for 3 and 4 of course some rim dealers will be included, but a local type list of repair locations escape the scion related info and go into a area a little to vast and something a phonebook in a persons area could answer better. Same goes with tint IMO.
