This is the xB name in Japan at the Iwate Plant. Kanto Auto Works LTD developed the xB.

Yep.

That is the reason "Kanto Auto Works" has a sticker under your (all US, second gens) xBs.

I'm sorry, I didn't catch that last post... There was a signature in the way!!!

****... good look AND she knows stuff about cars and their manufacturers.

so... you doing anything later or what?

I wish they're send over some right side drive models to the US. I love those.

Now if only I could find a Rukus badge... (the xB is called the Rukus in Australia)

 

[ntm]

huh? what? /soo distracted :biggrin:

 

[phobic]

the Ruckus is awesome! love it.

this came back from the dead....there is a Corolla Rumion around here somewhere. someone took the time to swap out all the body parts and front/back clips

 

[TARDIS]

the Ruckus is awesome! love it.

One day I'll get that rear badge....

Checking out the "OZ" version of the xB I ran across the climate control they offer:

That would be a nice conversion!!!

 

[TARDIS]

Hmm, it should be plug & play. All Toyota heater controls have the same plugs, anything that's different would be in the actual heater control itself. (example: any Camry can switch from a manual control to climate control by simply switching the heat control and nothing else.)

Anyone have an idea if this part can be bought and where?

I'm thinking it should be as simple as calling a Aussie Toyota dealer (no language barrier)

Another Rukus "goodie"

Keyless starting...

In addition they have LEATHER seats, the cost would be a killer, but...

 

[phobic]

yeah, the ruckus has a few extras that the xB doesnt, but if you want all of those extras it costs like 30K

 

[Dooshbox]

Did someone say they wanted keyless start? DOWONTECH ALI ST800 BYPASS INCLUDED - Wooriel Shop
Also has remote start and no need to take the key fob from your pocket to unlock/lock

 

[phobic]

yeah, but how well does it work?

I have been to the local dealer here to find out prices of the climate controll for another member.. The 3 pods cost somewhere around the $2500.00 AUD mark.... Quite expensive..... Plus they lean to the right to face the drive here so that would be another problem...

I have sent one of these to Hawaii already... At a cost over $50.00 aud I honestly don't think it's worth it....
