[Kaotic Lazagna]

hahahaha, my sedan is hunting you guys down.

[LEGATO``]

<3 PANDAS!

niiice meet

[ruimond]

Cool, looks like a nice Yaris meet. Its lucky you guys can have a meet with that many Yaris. Most we have at our Toyota meets have been a max of 2-3 on average. Most other owners don't go on the forums.

[Gideon]

hahahaha, my sedan is hunting you guys down.

Which is unfair, because it got to chill in the shade! :laugh:

great pics, but i need to see...

[Kioshi]

hahahaha, my sedan is hunting you guys down.

true, but there's a pack of four right behind you, waiting to pounce on delicious Vios :laugh:

ruimond - this is actually NorCal's 2nd biggest Yaris meet. Usually we have 2-4 Yaris cars only. Good to see the NorCal Yaris owners coming out of their hiding spots.

contraband - you didnt have as many bug guts on your bumper this time hahah

[tomato]

A few of these came out really contrast-y and gross, so these are some of the better ones! :laugh:



I have the same problem. Too much light, plus the reflexion of the sun on the nicely polished Yarii right back into my lens... I've got only a couple of good ones! :frown:

You know what that means, don't you.....

........ we're just gonna have to do it again! :biggrin:

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Which is unfair, because it got to chill in the shade! :laugh:

hahaha, that's because it wanted to hide and wait for its prey :laugh::laugh::laugh:

[IllusionX]

what? too much sun? You gotta make use of smaller aperture size and faster shutter speed and some LOW iso. It's not impossible, you just have to know how to use that light -.-

nice meet anyways!! :)

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Well, I'm uploading my first batch, but will post them after I go swimming. It's really HOT!

On some of my pictures, I set it to the maximum (smallest) aperture. Still came out a little flooded. However, I didn't set my ISO to anything, so it was on default.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Well, I'll post my first batch before I go swimming.

I have two HDR programs that I make two version and see which one would possibly look better in the eyes of others. Some I have a hard time choosing.

[YAR1S]

wooot loook at all those bayous!

I love that Thule rack ...
someone tell me -
how much is it,
do you have to drill into the bady to attach it?



xx

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Oh, and Clark, James, and Ric, let me know if you want the non-photobucket versions of any of the pics. Just look at the properties name and let me know which one you would like. I'll email the non-compressed versions to you, so PM me your email addresses.

[YAR1S]

the lighter second sets look a lot better than the darker ones. IMO.

That would be Ric's LB. hehehe.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Ah, you like Dynamic Photo better than PhotoMatix then. hahaha. Clark, if you'd like the less drastic versions, let me know. I'll post them up if you'd like.

[Kioshi]

contra's car looks badass in those pics. Profile pic it contra! Same w/ Gideons, the sickest drop out of everyone on here. 2nd pic of MiniTRD's car is looks cool.

YAR1S, would've been nice if you could've joined the Bayou Blue's.... :) Then we'd be dominating the rest hahah

[advocate]

Here are some of the pics I took.

[advocate]

Couple more!


If anyone wants their face / license plate removed let me know I'll be happy to oblige. I don't think it's a huge deal but just in case thought I'd throw the offer out there.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Pics set to ya, Ric.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Second batch of pictures after I see a movie with my girl.

[fmicle]

Alright, I have uploaded all my pictures in their full beauty/resolution. Just click on the preview until you get the full size if you want to download the original (3000x2000 pixels). I won't insert the links in here because I don't want to make this page super slow to load :redface:

Thanks to Computerlove for hosting this event!

[tomato]

OK, here is the link to my album, I think.

Let me know if any problem viewing, or PM me if anyone has a problem with any of the pix I posted (like maybe I caught their car in a bad light or something, and they want me to take it down ;)


http://i989.photobucket.com/albums/af15/tomato_007/IMG_5561.jpg

cheers!

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Sorry, I still have my second batch (non-HDR's) to edit. However, I'm still entertaining some relatives from SoCal. It was a last minute thing.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Great pictures so far tho.

[tomato]

:thumbup::thumbup: clickable thumbnails FTW!!

Maybe I should have done the whole album like this?

have a nice WE everybody!

[Soner]

I have a question for the owner of the white LB with golden rims and rack on top of the car.
It seems like that rack is removable, am I correct?
I am looking to buy one and looking for a decent affordable snowboard rack. Also, what is that thing in front of the rack? Is it for aerodynamics so that you don't lose mpg when the rack is installed?

[minired5stby]

Nice pics tomato

[Kioshi]

^ now the challenge is on for the Sept. 27 show. Anyone want to come down here for that? pllleeeeeeassssee? :bow:

Can we crash at your place for the night?

Why doesn't that Lo Vitz Owner's Club URL not work online...damn~

The Roof Rack Clamps on no drilling required. the Wind Fairing up front is a must, not only because it looks cool, but it reduces wind noise (and yes the noise is annoying).

Here is a list of parts you need for a bike rack or snowboard :
Thule Aero Foot Pack 400 or 400xt
Thule Fit Kit #2196 (this is for the LB only)
Thule 50" load Bars
Thule 871xt or 871 38" Fairing
and the appropriate bike or snowboard attachment.
If you need it for a Kayak, Cargo Basket, or Cargo Box you will also need the:
Thule 477 Short roof adapter.
I am building the Roof rack to accommodate a cargo basket.

I found all the parts used on ebay and craiglist, brand new the set up cost $300-400+ for just the first three items on this list, I have spent less than $200 If you need help piecing one together, just pm me. :thumbsup:

Thanks a lot for the info. I will look into this. $200 is OK but $300-400 is little too much.

Nice pics tomato

Thanks! :biggrin: Glad you like them!

5 door hatch wasn't available for some time in the US, and had no 5 speed or S option either...

Cheers

^^ Being offered in only auto in the 2009 is what stopped me from buying one . Cool Pictures but too much sun/ps Imo

[Kaotic Lazagna]

^ironic. the reason i couldn't go was because i was in socal during the weekend. the location was close to santa rosa for once... :frown:

[Kaotic Lazagna]

I'll post the few remaining pics that I have in a bit.

hope you enjoy!

Hey Garm - I'll be calling you soon for some parts! Was hoping to meet you Saturday to discuss my future mods. Hey the car is only 6 weeks old so there's lots to do . . .


btw here is my car

[ezhacker1]

ooo that 4x4 burger is blewh, nasty, less cheese and i might do it next time.

I'm in no hurry, but it wouldn't take a whole lot to convince me to get the rear bar and a couple of other little things :wink:

hahaha, get some lowering springs and a nice set up 16's. Unless you take corners pretty hard or are planning on going to the track/shows, that "Miracle Bar" wouldn't be too much of use for you. Looks amazing tho.

You know I admit they do look kind of nice lowered. The rear sway bar was recommended because of the way the LB handles in the wind. I'm not ready to mod yet. Give me a few months and I'll start making these decisions when I'm a bit more informed.

I could use some cool wheels though.

James (Gideon) is selling his other set of rims for like $150 (if they're still available). You'll just need to buy some tires. Good price imo.

But yeah, lowering would make a difference already in cross winds. The rear sway bar is more of neutralizing the understeer on our cars.

[advocate]

Love the pics kaotic, the cars look great!
