Very nice!

nsmitchell · 12-14-2006, 03:39 PM

That is a sweet car! I would keep it!

Tamago · 12-14-2006, 03:57 PM

yes but the yaris is lighter (faster) and longer wheelbase while shorter overall than my car. which = better racer

BMGYaris · 12-14-2006, 08:14 PM

I dont know man, if i knew a guy had sold his xa to get a faster better racing vehicle and he pulled up in a yaris i wouldnt be able to stop laughing at him for weeks.

Tamago · 12-14-2006, 08:30 PM

find me a faster lighter car for cheaper than the xA..

Kaotic Lazagna · 12-14-2006, 09:11 PM

i like your xA, but i like the look of a hatch or a sedan better (talking about a Yaris)

Tamago · 12-14-2006, 09:33 PM

as do i.. keep in mind this car was purchased in 2004 lol, i would have killed for a yaris.. well not killed.. but.. anything short of having to drive to Canada to get one ahahahahhaah

ChinoCharles · 12-14-2006, 09:47 PM

I say buy a Yaris and shut these naysayers up!

Tamago · 12-14-2006, 09:50 PM

problem is... only like 2 things swap over from the xA :(

eTiMaGo · 12-14-2006, 11:49 PM

WELL its not faster or lighter, but its pretty fucking close and its already purchased and modded...YOUR XA. i mean, you have a hell of a nice car there, and its going to be alot more expensive to get a new yaris than keep your old xa...the gains would be minimal. So yea, its your best choice if your actually in the market for a car. but your not really. so Why not invest it and buy a real car later? or take some trips to japan or something with the money and come back with sensual pictures of yourself and japanese women to put in your XA? i think that would be much more pleasant than the small gains a yaris has over an xa eh?
I have never liked those two-tone jobs, but wow, it looks amazing on your xa.

Tamago · 12-15-2006, 09:18 AM

thanks much, and i like the japan trip idea !

here's more of the 2 tone paint.

Russelt3hPirate · 12-15-2006, 09:22 AM

looking good joel,

and yes, i admit while Joel was on R-comps and i was still a noob on street tires he beat me in my STi.....

no longer is this true! aWD 4tW!

is that pic up there with link in the car? he looks scared hahaha.

ChinoCharles · 12-15-2006, 02:08 PM

Two tone is HOT.

dngz · 12-15-2006, 10:36 PM

2 tone with cf is even hotter... but yea, yours still hot, hehe

BMGYaris · 12-15-2006, 11:05 PM

I am wondering. I have always hated just having the hood painted on a two tone job, but i think i
might just be crazy. so what do you guys prefer? the orginal, or my 1 or 2?
DONT get me wrong though, i love your xa, just a general question about hood painting
yours as the example. I especially love though howin the rear the paint melts into the tint. damn sexy

ChinoCharles · 12-16-2006, 12:46 AM

Your first one is pretty much what I'd like to do to my Yaris.
