TRDxD

drivexB

vancouver area

the major parts dealer around here is lordco and napa

i can try them i guess

and my other problem is since im in canada, finding parts for a scion is very difficult

TRDxD

why not just get TRD parts from your Toyota dealership?

If you check the Greddy site, they list authorized Canadian dealers. That would be a good place to start. I found one in Vancouver, there's several others in British Columbia as well.

The one listed is

MF Technology Inc.

come on you really need to just chill and read some more threads to educate yourself.

even with bolt ons (intake, header, exhaust) you wont see much of a power gain. you will end up spending so much money when you could just save it up and get boosted and have some real power.

or drive your car stock and save up your money for other things.

dont drop that kind of money unless you know what you are getting into.

dont worry, i dont plan on spending a cent until i have everything completely figured out
thats why im asking you guys about this

If you want something that much faster you're better off getting a different car. xA/xB are economy cars, meant to have good gas mileage and be low maintenance. I've seen post on here of people selling their Scion for a used 350z or something of the like because they want performance, that's your best way to go. Oh, I've heard bad things about Toyota dealers in Canada... I wouldn't go to them for anything unless you absolutely have to, they're going to overcharge you for TRD parts anyway.

i dont want it super duper fast
just faster
and i like my xbtoo much to get a different car

You're in a bad spot not being able to order stuff online, it would be so much cheaper. Do you have a friend with a credit card by any chance? As long as you were holding the cash in front of him while he charges it to his card he can't say no.

OakToddler

No offense, but you seem sorta helpless.

If you have that sorta cash to spend, just get a freakin debit card and charge it.

Send out a certified money order or check from the bank to whatever products you order. Send it registered mail

Maybe just check here as to what you are gonna get first.

FORGET TURBO.

If you are having this much trouble now then who knows what problems lie ahead with a turbo set-up.

I also hope you are not putting us on, either. I felt bad for the way you started getting a little roughed up initially and would hate to think you are bull crapping us.

drivexB

i have decided against getting a turbo
and maybe just getting headers, exhaust, intake, and cams(maybe)

and i found a canadian website that will do cash on delivery for the exhaust and intake
now i just have to find a place with the right kind of headers
and like the guy above you said, find someone with a credit card and just front them the cash(which is what i had to do to pay for my university application lol)

MCoolU

that's what i've been doing 4 about a year lol. I haven't put anything in my engine, just other stuff like rims, lip kit, etc. I've been researching turbos, and been debating if i should put 1 in b4 or after i pay off my car. But eventually i will end up getting a turbo kit

mb2008

If you're going to get one at some point in time for sure, do it after its payed off. I don't know where you stand on your warranty but it's obviously going out the window if you do it now. Not just that but if something bad happens and your car isn't running because of something with the charger you wont be happy having making car payments plus paying to rent a car or whatever you would do.

MCoolU

yeah that's 1 of the reason, cuz of the warranty. so i rather wait till i pay off my car and don't have that bill 2 worry about.

#1 with out internet ordering I would try teamwork on kingsway E burnaby they can and will bring in orders from the US they usually do N/A work
there is also garage 5 in richmond I have talked to them and they know there way around cars (mostly B/K powered hondas =-( I never talked to them about scion
TRD can if "pushed" get parts for the "VITZ echo H/B with uses the same ENG / Chassis
#2 the 1NZ is NOT a POWER engine even TRD modellista turbo Vitz is only 140 BHP
#3 lordo /napa / CDN tire do not stock or get much for scions / echo
#4 we have a Van area meet N greet and you can see some of our cars some modded

How about you drive across the border and buy it from someone in the states. Or use western Union and wire it for about 12.00 usd. Also use the NAFTA (free trade agreement) and don't pay duties on the stuff.

I see your 19 and learning. And I think all will try and help you here, but you need to take the time to research your stuff and at least have some sort of idea of what makes what work.

And at 19 dude you should have a bank card.

Well theres some ideas on how to get your parts.

Good luck

drivexB

I have a bank card lol
Just not at a large bank so most online debit things are invalid for me
But I'm going to wait to finish the automotive course I've just started and see where things go from there
