No turbo or super charger for me. Kinda over the whole driving fast scene since my son was born. Gotta make sure daddy stays alive till he's old enough to move out.
My next few mods on the xB are:
1) Hotchkis sways
2) 15mm spacers for the rear
3) MobileHID 5k's
4) remove rear wiper
5) Moonroof

Hopefully I'll have those things done before my car hit 1000miles or one month old.

BTW Coryjames... Your xB is sick! Props on the Turbo

 

Got these today. Ichiba 15mm Ver.2 Bolt ons

Came with a lug tool. Tool bent when torquing down stupid lugs. Going to replace with regular lugs that fit.

Went on OK.

Very nice improvement, but I can see that the driver side is more flush (and matches the front) than the passenger side. The xB2 has the rear axle offset toward the driver side about 1/4". You need a 20mm spacer on the passenger side to match the fender flushness of a 15mm spacer in the driver side.

Those look like hubcentric spacers... Yea?

 

Shhhhh... not so loud Cionide. You can't really tell the 1/4" difference on the pass. side if you don't tell anyone. Yup hubcentric spacers. BTW... thanks for your help on the spacer size info.

 

You're welcome. I'd volunteer to get 20mm spacers and trade you one for a 15mm, but I can't imagine that I'd be so lucky as to select wheels in the future that have the same hub bore as yours... what is your bore?

 

looks good. Im the same way right now, got a raise at work and now the xB is getting lots of goodies...

next for me is full HIDs, CF hood, and NST crank pulley

Thanks Ocrida, just might take you up on that offer.

 

I think the center bore is 73mm.

 

What you've done looks great! You know I was just giving you a hard time. 73mm is probably the most common bore for aftermarket wheels. Sit on what you've got, and in a few months when I get my wheels, I'll let you know if they have the same hub bore.

 

My car is gettin old...

Todays new part

 

1k... i have 13k on mine in 7 months... is it just me or does the TRD air filter look smaller then the OEM one surface wise?

 

The area of the horizontal plane appears to be a little smaller; however, notice that the TRD filter has 19 pleats of filter media vs. only 13 pleats in the stock filter. More pleats = more surface area for filtration.

 

Todays new parts
