WOW!!! It is finally happening!!! Ok for every that is interested and wants to meet Yaris owners from across the state of Texas. Grab your kids if you have them and head to my house on the 18th and 19th. I guess be here around 6ish Friday night and we can all hang out and chat drink beer then start on a to be decided time Saturday morning so we have time to play with the tune on the supercharger. I will be installing frownonfun's supercharge and hopefully fitting a lip kit on my car!!! We have a big pool in the back yard so if the weather is looking good bring swimming suits and towels (yes swimming suits are required). I will be BBQing the meat and will have some beverages for kids and adults. I would like to have it as a pot-luck BBQ so grab a side dish and any special drinks you may want. Let's start an attendence list so I know how much meat and air mattresses to get.
Also you don't have to stay here if you don't want mostly for the out of town guys that don't want to drive back the same night. Just say if you need to stay or not.
Here is my house on google maps: http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&tab=wl If the link it's working for you my address is 308 Julie Dr. Crowley, TX. 76036

I have nothing useful to add, but I am overcome with the urge to throw some pointless babble on here... So here goes.... POINTLESS BABBLE! :)

Are you going to try and make it?
Slick
09-03-2009, 09:46 PM
PM sent, you can go ahead and put me down cause there is a 90% chance i'll be there.

I'm in. If we have out-of-towners who need/want to stay in DFW, but want their own place, I can assist with locating some good hotel deals.
Red - let me know what tools you might need that you either don't have or would like duplicates of. I have just about everything car-related other than a lift. I could probably even throw the compressor into the truck if we really need air tools. Of course, then I wouldn't be in the Yaris...

appreciate the offer to stay over but i'll probably just go on ahead and get a hotel. groovy that this turned into a meet. looking forward to meeting some of the folks behind all the text and avatars.

There is a STRONG chance that I won't be able to make it but go ahead and put me down for the 18th.
I have work on the 19th and an Exam on the following monday. But, if I am up to date on the chapters and I am super-nice to my boss, there might be a chance. :biggrin:
PS: maybe Blaine can convoy with me and he can show off his soon-to-be dropped Yaris!

Texkid that would be great if you could so up and let the GF's daughter take some pics let's see if she can break old record what was it like 380 pictures in 45 minutes?

09-04-2009, 02:26 AM
keep pushing for it, that's what i did and look at how the NorCal Marin Meet turned out :)
Seek out the wandering Texan members on here from other boards like Off-Topic, General Discussion, etc..... that will help you gather many people.
I just wished this meet was earlier on in the year, i was in Austin for a bit....

i won't be able to make this meet, cuz i have work on saturday at 4:30am, but I'm definitely in for the Houston meet (question...what time is the meet on that saturday chongopants?) and i'm definitely in for the dallas meet in october.
SaerinRhoe
09-04-2009, 02:31 PM
This is whole bunches of awesome!
I can attend on the evening of the 18th. I get off at 6pm and can come straight out. It should take me about an hour or so to get out there. As for the 19th, I have a prior commitment in Tulsa for the day.
LRR, PM me if you'd like me to bring anything like food or drinks. I'll be happy to donate to the cause.

okay about the october meet. Just remembered that I have company flying in that afternoon on the 17th I REALLY want to make it to this meet. Is there any way we could move it to either the saturday before (the 10th) or the saturday after (the 24th)?
lilredrocket
09-04-2009, 03:08 PM
custom Lftback you will have to ask chongopants he is supposed to make a new thread for the 2nd Texas Meet for Oct. at his house. Also I think I heard him say something about the second weekend of the month?

Just to clear any confusion, the 18th is a Friday, 19 is Saturday, and 20 is Sunday.

So how many Houstonians are planning on heading out there on Friday?

Do you recycle? I do bottles or cans lol. Course a case of cans is actually a profit on your part. Lets call it my part to help you out :) 60 cans is at least a bottle or two of beer

Tell me you have a Max Cold ice chest. Its the best to keep the beer ice cold. Course, we could probably save money and just buy a pint of everclear and a watermelon or some other fruit lol. Or just play vodka pong haha

No. If you want to bring it I'll take a few shots but at some point on Sat. I have to use my brain to install a s/c
Slick
09-08-2009, 02:04 PM
Sounds like we'll start early on Fri, that way we can have some cool down time before sat lol. You know there is a problem when we start reciting lefty loosy, right tighty while installing lol.

We all need to get together for installs, I am gonna get a sway bar soon. If I can find an affordable one... That is sturdy.

well if anyone has one they can sell cheap, this would be my first real mod to the car. At least by my standards.
frownonfun
09-09-2009, 11:51 PM
so should i expect a drunken supercharger install? lol. we should video tape that. good thing i'm bringing the tundra too in case i need to tow my car back.
lilredrocket
09-09-2009, 11:55 PM
Haha. You shouldn't have to tow it back. (knock on wood) I think you are really going to enjoy your drive home in it.
frownonfun
09-10-2009, 12:04 AM
yeah i hope everything goes smoothly. i talked to PE in a round about way today and they tell me the kit they are selling in the states doesn't require new injectors. guess the piggyback comes pre-programmed for the stock set. so that's reassuring. was sweating what kind to buy.
i might drink after it's installed and i know everything is gonna be fine but it'll most likely be something from the liquor store. and if the install goes really terrible then it will most definitely be something from the liquor store.
Slick
09-10-2009, 01:14 AM
ill bring a bottle of jack and a bottle of vodka just for you :)
chongopants
09-10-2009, 10:42 AM
what are you guys putting in again? Is it a pain in the ass to put in either a sway bar or hub spacer? Those are my next purchase. or springs maybe.
chongopants
09-10-2009, 10:44 AM
ah a supercharger, nevermind. Well PLEASE take pics, even though I am gonna do a turbo I would still like to have had the experience. Wish I could come to that one. I was just in Tyler last week...
lilredrocket
09-10-2009, 01:32 PM
I have done the sway bar and the spacers. Sway bar is def easier to install.
chongopants
09-10-2009, 01:41 PM
Is there a vendor in houston I can just go to anyone knows of, I hate ordering junk and waiting b/c the delivery guy is a lazy sack of crap.
lilredrocket
09-10-2009, 01:42 PM
Nope your going to have to order or take a road trip to Garm's shop out in Cali
chongopants
09-10-2009, 01:45 PM
C'mon, Houston is a bigger city anyways there has GOT to be something out here.... We have everything.
lilredrocket
09-10-2009, 01:55 PM
NST is in Houston. I'm sure there are a few Toyota dealerships there you could pick up a sway bar from. As for hub spacers order them from Garm and they will show up in your mail box
chongopants
09-10-2009, 02:12 PM
yeah the spacers are small enough I wouldn't worry about it. But I like to keep my business local, no offense to garm, but I don't like sending money to California....they don't spend it well lol jj... Keep the money in TX if possible. If we don't buy here there will never be a place. Supply and demand...

09-10-2009, 02:17 PM
It's Texas look around at what most people drive. Big jacked up trucks. The likely hood of someone opening up a shop like Garm's (that is Yaris specific) is slim to none.

so you not coming out then chongopants? i say if you are gonna get as much help as you'll have at this get together you might as well bring something that's a big pain in the ass. like springs and shocks. i installed those on my yaris a while back with my wife and man was that a long day. i'd love to put some on again now that i know what i'm doing a little more.
frownonfun
09-10-2009, 11:54 PM
ill bring a bottle of jack and a bottle of vodka just for you :)
vodka and i had a bad experience so i try to stay away from that but some jack would be greatly appreciated. i don't wanna bring anything from my liquor cabinet cause i like to keep it stocked up so i'll probably end up deciding what to buy when i get up there.
lilredrocket
09-10-2009, 11:55 PM
Really all day? When I did mine took 2 hours because I took lots of pics and sent them to my brothers.

I think everyone is supposed to have a bad experience with vodka once in their life
yeah you are probably right. that and cocaine.
Really all day? When I did mine took 2 hours because I took lots of pics and sent them to my brothers.
yeah i think most of it was just my being unprepared really. i ran to the hardware store a few times either because i didn't have what i thought i needed or because one of the cheap ass tools that i had broke. also with kids running around and my wife trying to help it just made for a bad work environment. lol. and when i went to do the back springs and shocks it started to hail after i had it all jacked up so i had to let it sit for a bit while i waited for the storm to pass. it was just one of those projects. maybe it wasn't all day but it felt like it.
also i'm pretty mechanically illiterate so that never helps. but i'm learning.

Is it safe in your neighborhood to sleep in the car or is that not a good idea. I try to save money were I can since I haven't had money coming in for a month and money starting to leave the bank account rather fast now if you know what I mean.
Slick
09-11-2009, 04:50 PM
Easy man, no need to sleep in your car. You can pitch a tent on the inside lol. He offered for those of us who have a long drive to have a "sleep over" at his house lol. But i'll be there to protect you. lol I've bounced the local bar for a couple years now lol. :thumbup:

Well, if no one else offers, i'll be happy to rip apart your interior :) I had to take everything apart to run the wires for my light kit. taking out the plug will be easy peasy. removing wires is soo much easier than running them.

Hey I going to bring my Acer Aspire one and my OBD2 to usb cable so anyone who needs to take a look at the workings of there Computer can. I got 2 sets of software for it one to read and display everything that going on in the car and one that can rewrite the program in the computer. I doubt anyone will want to rewrite there programing but u never know and if I can find my fuel maps again I will probably change my mapping in my car to get it back to 50mpg for the winter. Also I will bring my special tool for taking the front struts off a LB cause I read someone had some springs they might put on. I also will bring my spring compressor if y'all think we need them.
Do I need to bring my HD video camera. I thinking I might bring it too Get some video of that supercharger install in HD :)
And yea I cant wait either Red I know how you feel. Cant wait for Friday I will be showing up Friday afternoon around 5pm just so ya know and i am bringing a little beer and some food for the BBQ
lilredrocket
09-15-2009, 06:46 PM

lilredrocket
09-17-2009, 03:18 PM
Oh no don't use armorall!!! Use pledge thats what is says in the manual. So I went out and bought multi surface wipes
Slick
09-17-2009, 03:30 PM
F*** pledge. I've been amorallin' shit for 8 years lol. I love how it feels, smell, and looks. Its a proven fact that armorall can shine a turd. I'd armorall my glass if it didnt smear, just to add that extra shine lol. I have an ancient chinese secret on how to apply armor with a smooth shiny finish. Awwww.... ita make ya smack ya momma!

I moved my rear LED's around, vacuumed, armoralled, washed, windex'd, ran tubing over my sub wires so their all pretty, added my MI and sponsor decals, cleaned the door frames and around the hatch, and finally armoralled the engine bay. I'm sore, to say the least lol. But she's a beaut lol. And the subs are banging, just the way I like it lol.

lilredrocket
09-18-2009, 11:00 AM
Making a list of a couple small things people might want then you can run to the store from here. It's not very far away. Is your fiance riding with you or is he bringing his Focus?

P.S. Oh yeah, for anyone that's going to the meet today, DO NOT TAKE ARMORALL. Please. For the sake of humanity... :biggrin:
ozmdd
09-19-2009, 12:18 PM
I hear that if you install an Armor All sprayer on the front bumper, it will polish the road in front of you and you'll have NO rolling resistance all the way to Tulsa. You should get around 300 mpg!
Lazerdot
09-19-2009, 12:38 PM
Mike, looked like you had some real rolling resistance hop in your way last night...missed him by less the a Yaris length! The guy in the other lane had his paint scared off I think. That guy in the camper must have been at 30mph on a freeway!! Holy crap!!
Thanks to Linda and Nick for hosting the YARIS YAK, greta turn out and lots getting done Saturday. Great cars and mods!! I want your gauges Midon!
Mike I'll talk to you Sunday about the sway bar...
I'm getting a YY hat and shirt, let me know if anyone else wants to order.
Oh ya, Jeff, did you make it home in one piece?

09-19-2009, 02:06 PM
Grab me a hat and shirt, please. I'll settle with you tomorrow. I kinda enjoyed the camper "slingsot" move. :)

sup everybody... i ended up sticking around ft worth today. i'll be heading back tomorrow. wanted to thank lilred again for having us over and for all the work he put into the install. was worth the drive and a kaminari kit. everything is still running good but i did finally start showing a CEL afterall. guess i'll worry about that later. i'm just happy that we actually got the thing on for now.
anyway glad to see etheliters made it back ok. hope will and james made it back safe also. hope i can see you guys again next month.
