I'm not sure how to do this but here goes DSC03140

I'm not sure how to do this but here goes DSC03140
are you trying to link a pic from a sony digital camera straight from the camera?

[dandj]

It is a sony but tried to bring it off my computer.

[swng]

Forgive my ignorance and allow me to get a little off topic. I have been hoping all the time to see someone post some really really simple steps to post pictures.

[why?]

Ok, really simple.

1. Transfer pics to computer.
2. Upload them to a hosting site. I use http://www.theimagehosting.com/
3. Now you should have an net address where the pic is hosted. The site above gives you a bunch of options.
4. Copy the address and click on the picture box in the message window. Paste the address in the little box that comes up and it will be shown. Note, the site above does all the progamming and the links it gives can be posted directly into the message window.
5. Submit the message.

[swng]

Thank you why? You are the greatest!

[as400g33k]

for hosting pics you can also try toyotanation.com or photobucket.com...

[swng]

Thanks a lot friends! I will give it a try in due course!

[dandj]

I am really computer illiterate and havn't got this accomplished yet. This site is a lot like saturnalia.com and they have a feature that allows member galleries snd I have uploaded pics there. I have some real nice pics of the sedan in flint mica and barcelona red from the detroit auto showhttp://www.saturnfans.com/

[Uglyboyed]

Hey flint mica owner here.. I'm loving my car and the flint mica is the best color out there for this car.. Forget all the other colors. Yeeeeeaaah baby.. Did anybody elses toyota have the floor mats.. Cause mines is still in backorder and I had my cae for a month now

[why?]

Give us some pics.

My car has floormats, but ordering them seperately is prolly a problem.

[Uglyboyed]

[fearturtle44]

[Uglyboyed]

[johnnyfive]

Hey, that FM Yaris is too good for that neighborhood!!

[fouad84]

[Tankota]

And he's using a Casio EX-S100 camera if you realy want to get one

[Tankota]

Hmm.. Figure I've been on here long enough I should at least post 1 pict of mine.. I've only got a few so far, taken in harsh lighting..

http://www.tankota.net/Misc/Yaris2.jpg

And it's realy hard to show in picts what the Flint realy looks like, with the pearls in the paint, this is the best one I've taken so far, it shows the rainbow flecs in the paint a bit:

[swng]

Nice paint indeed!

[JaiTomato]

Here's my baby.

[ECHOKnight2000]

Tankota, I like the shot of your emblem "Yaris S," I can smell Oscars:laugh: :smoking: But seriously that's a cool shot...and very nice car!!
And JaiTomato, nice pics!:thumbsup:

[TRD_Yaris]

Flint Mica is the sh!t! too bad we don't get it in the USA as a liftback like the T concept!!!!!!!!!!! i wonder how close to Anthracite Gray (Toyota Supra / Lexus IS300) the Flint mica is...

just realized the T Sport is actually Storm Gray, not Flint Mica..

[Buckethead]

Here's my Yaris Sedan Flint Mica, will have better ones later. It's cloudy as hell out here. She's stock, but the fully loaded stock sedan.
Oh, and as you can see behind, that's the extent of my parking garage... I park right next to the green truck way back there by the expedition.... The 200 foot tree is right above . You can see the leaves sticking out...

Subtle enhancements will also be coming soon.
:headbang:

[Buckethead]

And Tankota, you're a madman!!!! That S is the shit!!! Would have gotten that one myself, but not in stock. I was there when my Sedan came of the truck. Had to scoop it up right away!

Much props to you!


:bow:

[SDsurfrider]

is that dash trim piece the one from the non S package?

[Lowfront]

I had the intergrated radio w/power options and such. No S package



But you need to go to toyota and order that trim piece to add a radio. Cost me 90bucks.

Sorry for the late reply. 17X7 Rims, 205/40 tires, 1.8" springtech drop. No rubbing at all. Fully loaded and with four people no problem..

[Go4th]

Yaris S Sedan Loaded w/ABS. This picture is the same as in my garage but larger. Picture was taken at dusk with flash. Would not see the car if flash was not on. I will take a picture sometime during the day and replace this one when I see the sun reflecting good off the different color flakes in this paint job.
You know the cool thing I noticed about this Flint Mica color is it blends in to what ever color is around. If you’re under trees it looks dark green if you’re next to a blue car it looks dark blue. At night it looks black. It’s like a chameleon.

[Go4th]

Here it is with my wheels.
Konig Prophet Opal 18x7.5 Opal 22.72 lbs
Tires 215/35/18 Yokohama Parada Spec-2 215/35ZR-18 20 lbs
Springs are next on the list.
I have them just have to find the time to put them on.

[Lowfront]

ya that def needs a drop and some tinted windows...

wheels look awsome

Tint. Drop next. Hopefully within the next two weeks. :smile:

[evilreign]

Go4th, your car is gonna loook damn good with a drop.. Nicely done!

[sf180th]

All these pretty flint mica yaris's I thought I would add mine.

[eTiMaGo]

nice lookin rims, but drop that suspension! Off-roader Yaris is not a great look :laugh:

[sf180th]

LOL yeah I plan on it just not sure which brand to go with so many choices, any advice?

[eTiMaGo]

For springs only, Tanabe seem to be a well-loved choice. You have a choice of the harder, lower DF, or the more comfortable NF.

Or for the whole nine yards, you can change the shocks as well, I'm using TEIN's Super Compact, but they are a bit harsh, the Basic Compacts should be quite good too.

There's really a lot of choice out there... Look around the sponsor classifieds, see what's available, ask around for pricing. Look around the Wheels/Suspension forum too to get owners' opinions on the different choices.

[Go4th]

Got the Drop done last night! Here are pictures from today in the bright sun!

LOL yeah I plan on it just not sure which brand to go with so many choices, any advice?

Here is TDR springs only. Factory struts.

[sf180th]

It's funny you posted this I ordered the TRD springs and the sway bar two nights ago, It's nice to see how the csar will sit with that kit considering I am running the same size rim and tire as you, Thanks!!!

[Go4th]

But I must credit YarisPR for his pictures that I asked for to verify the look I am looking for!

So he helped I just the same way I helped you!
I know you are very happy to see someone who has what your going for and to see what your going to get.
So if you like the way it sits and with that same size of rims/tires. That is what you will get!

I am very, very pleased!!

[sf180th]

Just had the dealer call me and told me to tell who ever I ordered the sway bar for to tell them that it does not match and that the numbers dont match!!!!!!! Well duh you friking idiots thats what happens when you are trying to put a rear sway bar on the front!!!!!!

[sf180th]

Thought I would post the most recent pic of me ride. It now is lowered and had the windows tinted. Let me know what you think, Would like to thank
Go4th for the inspiration!

[Go4th]

Looks awesome! I like it, I do I do I do! :thumbsup: What do you think about it? Low enough for you?

[sf180th]

Yeah it's low enough, if I turn the wheel all the way hard left or right it rubs a bit, so yeah any lower I would have some turning issues.

[Go4th]

me too. i think its perfect. think about those with the other springs that are even more drop.. its more easily avoidiable (the rubbing) with our drop i think.

[sf180th]

Yeah your right but most of them aren't rollin on 18's!

Looks goooood, that dark grey is quite nice, very classy.

[07typeS]

go4th just curious but did you do your srings yourself? i dunno if the trd' are different but i think the coils in the back may be upside down. I thought the compression where the coils start hitting each other was suppose to be on the bottom......but yours looks like they start hitting each towards the top..

maybe im wrong and the trd springs are different....i actually like the way your drop turned out better than mine....

[radiochicky]

This is my new baby, I love her! :wub:

Chris07LB told me they were upside down. I flipped them. the tight springs are on the bottom now. butt the damn trd instructions said "put the tight wound side up" i faxed chris07lb the instructions and he said that is weird that they told you to put them in like that but then he said well just put them in the way he says to. that the trd instructions are wrong or a mistake. did you put yours in or did you have toyota do it?

Whelp I agree with sf180th. I wanted that dark blue color but the dealer convinenced me into getting this flint mica one off the lot and i have grown to love the color. i am glad i have this color now!

Hey Uglyboyed,

What'd you use to mount the PSP in your Yaris? Thats pretty creative. I like it!

:headbang:

[JapRulezz]
