recent small car coverage

At the latest HellaFlush 4 show in Hawaii, there were a few good examples of tuned subcompacts.  Above is the Eight08Customs xB with Forjworks eyelids, alongside a pretty cool RS 5.0 xB.

I really like this new Honda Fit with Takata Green wheels and a good stance.  It is hard to pull off colored wheels but [...]

bBsquad does Vegas

The bBsquad strikes again with its highly tuned squad of xB’s, this time in the City of Sin.  These pictures were taken by Yogi at hellaflush, all credit goes to him!  These just had to be posted.  Enjoy the air rides, camber, and unique modifications done to these xB’s.

japanese bB against 1st gen xB

Found the above image browsing on Japanese seat cover maker Y-Brand’s website and had to enjoy the English translation.  But then I got thinking at how cool the Japanese spec bB (xB) is pictured on the right.  To me, it seems like more of a big brother to the 1st gen xB than the US [...]

next generation tuning

I think that sub-compact tuning, as well as Hybrid car tuning, is still in its early stages of becoming the next big thing.
Why?
-Rising gas prices (small cars get good gas mileage)
-Relative low cost to own a sub-compact, factoring in regular maintenance, base purchasing price of the car, overall money spent on gasoline
-Small car = less [...]

who’s boxy now?

The Chronicles… is a great place for clean cars and super photography skills, as shown in these pics.  This was a bBsquad shoot from Vegas that came out amazing, as always.  The bBsquad is always good for making the next trends for xB owners with their stance and unique JDM modifications.  All of the rides [...]

deserving

Dajap from ScionLife/ClubxB/Style bB used to have this VIP styled xB with immaculate attention to detail along with the finest JDM parts.  “Quality over Quantity” is the motto of Style bB and the owner of this car.
Airbag suspension paired up with the Work Euroline wheels in low offset (+12 in rear!) makes for a great [...]

medulla oblongata

Love the whole package on this Club bB member.  Stance, aero kit, painted tails — all right on par.  Fresh, clean, and slammed.
The grille and Noblesse front bumper flow very nicely with the chrome details.  Note the turn signal side mirrors — a nice detail.  Can’t go wrong with the flush stance either…
The owner of [...]

club bB for me

If I were living in Japan, this would be the car club I would join as a box owner.  Club bB is comparable to many of the Scion clubs in America, except with only bB’s (xB’s).  Most of the cars are pretty well modified, and it seems that local chapters of Club bB represent it [...]

fabulous

Did a little reminescing today looking at these pics.  This is how my 2006 Scion xB sat about 2 years ago.  The favorite part of the car has to obviously be the wheels, which are Fabulous Profound wheels, 17×8 +24 in front and 17×9 +24 in rear.  It was semi-slammed on HKS Hypermax coilovers – [...]

today is a gift

This Toyota bB is rocking out!  I love the stance of it. The Work Euroline S2H wheels in 17×8.5 +20 front / 17×9 +16 rear are looking amazing, especially when it is lowered on Tein Coilovers.  This car is representing Club bB, as shown by the stickers below.
Notice the rear fogs integrated in to the [...]
