MazdaMomma Posted June 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Nope, the car is staying bone stock. Only added a cai and will be adding an asic nav system when HE can afford to pay for it. And some HID's will be added to that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MazdaMomma Posted June 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Comes with a yellow top?? Isnt it toyota? Didn't come with the yellow top. We took it from the taurus before we traded it. The standard battery that comes with the car sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveSter Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 MC that Scion isnt brand new though, is it? Or is it just a 2007 model? I believe the new 08 09 ones are coming with projector headlamps now. -Steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveSter Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Oh ok, if your going to put HID's maybe its worth it to find the projector headlights from the new model to put on yours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ing-schu@online.no Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 My Xedos still has its factory battery. I expect 10 years and usually they last that long. 14 years in my 75 Corolla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heat is the enemy of batteries and you dont live in the hottest climate for sure thats why you get very long battery life IMO. Carry your jumper cables with you tough. I first get a CEL after a startup about TCM ECU communication error or something. I assume weak battery caused the code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ing-schu@online.no Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Yes I know, but maintenance is important too. I carry jumper cables in my old Hiace, but not in the Xedos. There is still plenty of guts in my battery. I've used the jumper cables to assist others, which I would't want to do with the Xedos. Not good for the electronics.

As long as their regulator is good, no problem. I connect chassis to chassis instead of direct battery grounds for more resistance in case anything happens..

ing-schu@online.no Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 You see, the high voltage generated while connecting and disconnecting is what's harmful, due to the sparks. Damage is common, but mainly on newer cars than ours. Therefore new jumpercables should be equipped with spark killers. Then it's ok.

enginph Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Hmm no. The sparks will cause a current spike that can only pull the voltage at the donor car end lower. Lower voltage will not burn anything but can cause system hang up for which i am 100% sure there are procedures in the software. You cannot pass the voltage that is available in the system so easily. Of course first chasses should be connected to equalize grounds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
