Well, the weekend came and went. The official First Texas Yaris Yak. There was lots of oogling others rides, several upgrades being performed, and lots of good stories. On Saturday, the main event was a Power Enterprise Supercharger install on frownonfun's '09 Yaris. After much deliberation and many many trips to the parts store, Lilredrocket and frownonfun finally got it all put together. Also on Saturday, I did a muffler delete and OZMDD put drop springs on his '08. Thanks to everyone who came out and especially a huge thanks to Lilredrocket and his GF for opening their home to all of us. I'm glad everyone made it home ok. I can't wait for the Houston meet in October. So, here are the S/C vids on pics of all who showed. Enjoy

I do have pics to post, but they are all very large, so I have to re-size the files tonight. They're pretty much the same stuff you see on this thread, just higher resolution.

just so everyone knows who wasn't there... that bracket DOES NOT fit. we were able to rig up something to make it work but by no means did power enterprise put much into engineering this for the US. also the belt that came with it was too short which may have been a result of the piss poor bracket design but i'm not sure.
i don't know if we were ever real clear on whether this was just an '09 issue or not. we held it up to an '08 but without the alternator off it was hard to tell. it kinda looked like it might not fit the '08 either. so i don't know what's up with that.
anyway just thought i'd put that out there in case anyone else was considering a kit from power enterprise.
