Nope, myne is Auto - cuz i wanted Auto - cuz it will be mostly driven by my Wife and i wanted Auto cuz it will be easyer to drive it for her.

All i will do to this Xb - Change all the emblems to the Toyota And name it a bB, put some Bling wheels on it and put the custom Swarovski Toyota emblem on the front and ad the OpenDeck front grill - i want to make it look more like VIP style biggrin.gif

Yeah, you got one heck of a deal Romas. Nice find.
Romas, how will you manage to get it registered ? Do you have to take it through somekind of certification proccess ? I probably would run into some costly problems here frown.gif

I know that in Latvia registering US car would make you lots of problems - certificate costs are about 1500euros. In Estonia - the last i heard was - if the car WASNT made in EU or wasnt relised in EU - its not posible to register it AT ALL. Here in Lith - certificate costs about 150euros and you are free to go biggrin.gif So no big deal biggrin.gif

Btw - i bought a Toyota bB too from japan - will be using it as a parts car for my Xb biggrin.gif + i bought another Xb 2006 Maroon color - will be selling it once it gets fixed biggrin.gif

here is the bB pics:

And here is my Xb once again biggrin.gif

Actually we should be able to register those cars, but they will have to go through a rebuild/certification proccess..a while back this was only done in Finland, but nowadays they do it here too. Price would be bit higher than in Latvia probably (looked it up ..around 2600 eur).. Anywho I guess I could register the car in Lithuania, I would need to visiti you guys every two years for technical inspection I guess, but that won't be that bad smile.gif

There is no chance to register a car for you here - cuz you have to be living or have a permision to live and work in Lithuania - this is the main reason wink.gif I know this - cuz one guy from Estonia was trying to buy my friend RSX-S and he aint found the solution on this...

looks good, it has front extensions and side skirts, but i bet those are Scion installed options, which is cool. the rims HAVE to be aftermarket. still looks good

plus the new xB will have the current 2.4 liter tC engine. can anyone say supercharged xB's in the future?

I agree, much nicer than our new xB. The new one has grown a bit in size, thus defeating the ingenious packaging the first one had, and in my opinion, it's whole relevance in the first place...

that would be sick if scion did provide the kit. The wheels however are Volk Racing TE-37. Gonna have to shell out some extra cash for those smile.gif
