Norcal Meeting Anyone?

[yrsdrgn]

Wondering if any of the NorCal folks wanna meet up anytime soon.

[Galavoxx]

So are we going to get a drive together?

[yrsdrgn]

I wouldn't mind. If only more people joined us!!!! I also spotted a tuned Yarii down in the Presidio on Saturday afternoon and asked him if he was in Yarisworld.com. He said no and I told him to join!!! ^^

[Pavel Olavich]

No offense but what would "we" all do once we meet? Have a circle jerk? Go for a "drive"? Swamp stories about smokin vets? And what fun is there in we all driving our Yaris on the road? Sounds boring, to be sure....again no offense...if you like that type of thing, all the horsepower to ya! lol

True.

[yrsdrgn]

Yea does sound a bit boring but for me I'd just like to see what everyone else has done to their yaris (even though people have pics of them on here and wutnot) but i'd like to see them in person. the People in SoCal made it big so why not NorCal? haha and no offense taken hehe

[Kaotic Lazagna]

haha, i was actually thinking about asking this. i'm up for it, if it fits my schedule that is.

[yrsdrgn]

We'd hafta get a lot of interest before we start thinking of where to meet at. Then we'd need suggestions bout the meeting place n stuff hehe.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

lol...not sure how possible it is, but if we get enough Yarii owner, and i mean ENOUGH, i was thinking about going over to the Sacramento drag strip, possibly renting out the track for a few hours after we meet up some where.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

never dragged in my life, but hey, sounds good to me.

[yrsdrgn]

That sounds like a really nice plan but I'd probably not know how da heck to get there from SF. haha but that's a nice idea though.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

hehe, ummmm, shoot, go towards Oakland, I think, then jump onto Vallejo/Sacramento and take that (I-80 East) all the way to Sacramento. i've only been to the track years ago when my cousin took me to watch some races, and all i can remember is that it's near the airport. so i'm assuming we would have to jump onto I-5 North and exit somewhere.

uhhh, another way i can explain is just to go towards Reno. lol...

[Kaotic Lazagna]

oh, and i don't know how much it would be to rent out the track hourly...

[yrsdrgn]

o haha. Let's see if anyone else is interested...so far only 3 NorCal people!!!!

[Kaotic Lazagna]

hahah, i should drive down the street and ask the guy who owns this blazing blue LB if he's in YW and if he's interested. lol...show up at his door and suddenly start talking about Yarii. oh, oh, i should also leave a note on this one person's silver S sedan at Sac state too. hahahaha...hmmmm, i think i will. lol...

[Kaotic Lazagna]

i was also thinking about posting something up on craigslist.org about a NorCal Yaris meeting, but i really should start studying for a quiz i have on Friday for my HRS class.

[yrsdrgn]

Nice. If you do, keep us posted. Better study for them mid-terms soon haha.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

if i make one, i'll keep you guys updated.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/car/298718357.html

i made a craigslist listing for the meeting.

[yrsdrgn]

Sweet!! Hopefully people who look at craigslist.com a lot will drop a line in.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

hopefully. i want this to pull through because it sounds like it'll be fun...

[yrsdrgn]

I hear ya on that one.

[El Jefe]

well i worked at sac raceway for 5 years and trust me, you don't want to attempt to rent the track unless you have 3-5k laying around lol, it would be cool to meet up on a wednesday night for the street legal drags and it's only $15 to race.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

damn, 3-5k. nevermind renting it out. yeah, Wednesday Night Drags is a better idea. but we still need more people.

[barebonedvitz]

:thumbup: wusup NorcaL! just new to the forum and glad to see there's a good number of yaris owners near or around sac. i've seen a lot on the road and i figured there's gonna be some riders who'd want to take the cars out to the limit. y'all got any ideas where to autocross around or do some runs at the mountains?

i was stickin wid my bro's cooper to yosemite last weekend and the road goin there and around there was GREAT!!!!! altho i still ride stock height, but at least i got 205/45/16's. gettin to lower the car soon, so yah, i'm really stoked to how faster i can go soon...

so yah, if y'all want, on a late saturday or REALLY early sunday at highway 49 in around auburn...but just make sure y'all bring ur radar detectors..hehe.. or a ride to yosemite up and down the swirlies. but uh... hehe.. of course a track is safer.
it'll be cool to meet you guys one of these days! :burnrubber: just post the date i'm down!

[Galavoxx]

I'm hoping to autocross soon. Here's one of the local chapters:

http://www.sfrscca.org/solo2/

and oh yeah... Welcome!!

[yrsdrgn]

bump hehe

[Kaotic Lazagna]

heh, it seems like the Yarii owners in NorCal live only in Sacramento and SF...here's a thought (taking it from our buddies up in Canada), there's two Yarii owners in SF, yrsdrgn and Galavoxx. there's three up here in Sac, me, El Jefe, and barebonedvitz. i was thinking that us 5 make a small meeting, like some members up in Canada did, go someplace and just have fun. what do you guys think?

[Chiefy707]

Hey Vallejo representing here. And, since we're talking SF and Sac, Vallejo is almost right in the middle.

I can't decide what to do with my tax return:

1)Catch up on bills (which I really should do)
2)JDM RS tails and Blitz RVIT MMD
3)17" bronze Tenzo DC5's


Anyways back to the meet, I'm down so count me in. Email me chiefhyphy@hotmail.com.

lol...i'm originally from Vallejo. where abouts Vallejo are you in? i used to live down Meadows. i was just there, and will be there on Wednesday. maybe i can come by and look at your Yaris.

okay, throwing Vallejo in the mix. :thumbsup:

[yrsdrgn]

i wonder if we can pull a get together maybe sometime in the beginning of summer.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

i wonder if we can pull a get together maybe sometime in the beginning of summer.

just let me know a date since i'll be going to summer school as well...we all should throw in some dates or say when each of us are available so that it'll be easier to figure out when is a good time we all can meet.

[yrsdrgn]

I'd be good for all of June

[Kaotic Lazagna]

I'd be good for all of June

i still have to check what days my summer classes are. hopefully i'll have a day free for this meet.

[paradigm]

I'm here in Vacaville and would be down for whatever. Don't see many yaris around here anyways though. well no lb's. i've seen like 2 sedans.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

i'm in and out of Vacaville from time-to-time. if ever i'm down there, i usually go to the outlets and CompUSA (but they're closing). aside from that, i'm just passing by Vacaville to get back to the Bay.

[paradigm]

lol. we should just meet up with the socal guys. not like its really that far of a trip.

[yrsdrgn]

Sweet! more people to join in the meet!!!

[Kaotic Lazagna]

^ agree. now we just need a date and a place.

[yrsdrgn]

haha I don't know of many places since I'm just a kid stuck in my city and I don't really travel much. You guys come up with a place and I'll navi find myself there haha

[Kaotic Lazagna]

ummm, like mentioned before, Sacramento Raceway/Drag strip....ummmm, i have no clue how much Infineon Raceway (drag portion) costs....come to think of it, there really ain't that many places here to go to. =\

[yrsdrgn]

we don't have to have a meet at a racing area. We could just meet up at some huge parking lot and just check each other's cars out or something.

[paradigm]

sac raceway is only like what $15? besides lol. i could use a stock run in the car to see its 1/4 lol.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

true, but the same problem, i have no clue where a vacant lot is at.

sac raceway is only like what $15? besides lol. i could use a stock run in the car to see its 1/4 lol.

i would also like to know how i'll do on the drag strip (i've never raced on one before).

[paradigm]

It feels a lot longer than it looks. I just hate seeing a lot of the super rice cars out there sometimes :/

[Chiefy707]

I vote for the parking lot over here around Old Navy.

1)It's huge
2)It's easy to get to from the freeway (80E or 80W it doesn't matter)
3)Lot's of good places to eat
4)I live less than 5 minutes away!

It's sorta hard for me to be out of town for long periods of time. (I work 7 days a week)

Anyways, lately I've been seeing a few Yaris LB's around here although most are driven by older-eff-the-aftermarket-type drivers. I see more Yaris sedans than I see Honda Fits.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

lol...those riced-out cars that have 8-inch exhausts, whale-tail-like spoilers, stickered-out like heck, and you can't forget about the NOS. hahaha...

yes, that's a good place, pretty busy tho. there's a great Thai place near-by (Cha-am), Applebees, COSTCO, a Filipino place, Chinese places, Little Ceasar's down the road, movie theater, lots of other places. but yeah, i'd say (if we meet here), meet either to the side of the Pep-Boys, or across Pet-Co at the far-end of Old Navy.

[Chiefy707]

The lot between Petco and Michaels is usually pretty vacant. The area between L&L and Office Max is often vacant too.


Mmm I had to mention L&L. Loco Moco!

I wouldn't mind a meet in the City. I like the idea of Yaris group pix with San Francisco as a backdrop. NorCal represent right!? I just don't like paying $8 to get down there (2 bridges!)

lol...i work at L&L here in Sac. not a huge fan of Loco Moco (probably because i waited too long to eat it that the gravy soaked into the rice). i got pretty tired of the katsu as well. hahaha. bbq beef is still good to me. and oh, oh, you have to get the bbq cheeseburger. hella good.

yeah, toll is getting outtahand. we would have to cross the Carquinez Bridge and the Bay Bridge. man, the Yaris should get some type of discount since it's eco-friendly. lol :laugh: :tongue:

[Kaotic Lazagna]

but yes, SF as a backdrop will be very, very nice. can't really say that for the Vallejo Plaza we're talking about. lol.

[Chiefy707]

L&L employee huh? Does that mean you can get an employee discount? Where is the L&L up there anyway?

LOL, yah we can have Michael's, Bed Bath and Beyond, plus Old Navy as a backdrop!

Man, I'm so tired of the katsu. It's my favorite thing on the menu but it's also my most ordered. Loco moco sounds gross cold, I always have eaten it fresh.

Anyways, IF we all decide on Vallejo, we can always cruise to the waterfront for pix. Actually I can think of a few picturesque places. Dan Foley park? Shit, the park on Jack London @ sunset even (that way we can use the bathroom and #2 at your pad! J/K!)

[yuiedie]

haha thats cool, L&L is growing by the day. im from hawaii and i just moved to modesto recently. L&L was a regular stop for us back home, and believe it or not, they just opened a new L&L's here in modesto. its still new they dont even have a menu posted inside! kalua pig tasted the same as back home, although the katsu was a bit dry and tough. havent tried anything else yet. no kim chee in stock.

[paradigm]

I'd definitely be down for a san fran trip. My gf still hasnt been there lol. Oh and as for the rice thing, dont forget the people who have bodykits that you know sure as hell wont get painted. zip ties ftw. :O lol on the plus side i saw another white lb here lol.

i work at the one off of I-5 here in Sac...lol. you too? yeah, i'm still not getting katsu yet. haha. but yeah, i also wanna try garlic mahi because it smells pretty good when i'm bagging it, but i don't really like garlic flavor. haha.

yeah, that water front is a cool place. as for Dan Foley, i've only gone there at night...trying to remember which park is on Jack London (don't really pass by any parks there...)

[Kaotic Lazagna]

haha thats cool, L&L is growing by the day. im from hawaii and i just moved to modesto recently.

i get the kalua pork with the cabbage cooked with it. good, but not one of my favorites. i think the cooks there are putting too much flour and deep frying it too long. heh, the cooks where i work at are great, but i can't say the same for the one off of I-80. i got sick when i ate there. we usually have kimchee, and we even have malasadas. hahaha. i sold out of malasadas yesterday though. heh.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

lol...baby blue front bumper, white side-skirts, and a flat black rear bumper. that's the best. :laugh:

[Chiefy707]

This is the 1st time I've read a thread post on this forum with my stomach growling and my mouth watering. Fuck, I think I'll go there for lunch tomorrow.

There's a park off of Jack London (about a 1/4 mile down after turning off of Meadows) that's next to the Napa River. Although you don't see any water, it's surrounded by those 'hot dog swamp plant thingies' with highway 37 and the bridge in view.

Eff it, I'll be willing to cough up $8 for a meet in the City. I think Twin Peaks is as picturesque as it gets. 2 lane winding roads, a view of almost the entire Bay Area what more can you ask? Too bad thousands of tourists think the same thing too.

BTW I did notice the katsu is kinda tough usually. But there's something about katsu sauce, breaded chicken, rice, and mac salad. Shit man I gotta eat!

:laugh:
i just finished me a regular bbq chicken, all rice and extra cabbage. man, that oil on the cabbage...ahhh, good stuff. i do the same with the bbq beef. like i said before, i got sick with the L&L off of I-80 here because of their mac salad. got traumatized by it, so i always get all rice now. hahaha

eh, i vote for the water-front if the meeting were to be in Vallejo. otherwise, the City it is (even though i'm going to need directions. i've only driven near and around the wharf, staying away from those steep hills.)

hmmmm, i wonder what i'm going to get the next time i work...man i'm fat, i just ate and already i'm thinking about food. haha.

[yrsdrgn]

but yes, SF as a backdrop will be very, very nice. can't really say that for the Vallejo Plaza we're talking about. lol.

so are these the two places we've come down to?

[Chiefy707]

We should still talk it over since Paradigm 's up in Vacaville and Yuiedie's down in Modesto. I'm just leaning toward Vallejo I think it's the most convienent (esp. for my lazy ass) or the City for the scenery.

[yrsdrgn]

well we still have time before summer hits (sorta when i want this to go down) maybe in June or early July? Gotta catch up with the SoCal folk who already had a meet haha.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

hahaha, i think. Vallejo or SF. but like i said, if in Vallejo, then the Marina/Waterfront there. if in SF, you guys tell me, i'm not sure where's the good spots at. heh.

[yrsdrgn]

i live in SF hehe ^^ Golden Gate bridge area is awesome Lots of good places in the Presidio

[Kaotic Lazagna]

heh, i'm in Sac, and Vallejo would be easier for me. SF is a 2 hour drive for me. hehe. where's Modesto at again? lol...i'm geographically disabled. :tongue:

[Kaotic Lazagna]

seriously!

[Kaotic Lazagna]

i live in SF hehe ^^ Golden Gate bridge area is awesome Lots of good places in the Presidio

where's that one place at that has the GG Bridge in the background?

[yrsdrgn]

sausilito? I don't know how to spell it haha. it has hella nice views from there

[Kaotic Lazagna]

wait, so that cliff is not in SF?

[Chiefy707]

Modesto's actually not that far from Sac. All you gotta do is head down I-5 and you'll end up there.

Sausilito (or however you spell it?!) is I think the NW corner of the GG. There's a vista point on the NE corner. The Presidio is at the SE corner. There's a few spots at the SW corner, with a nude beach and GG Park among them. The vista point would make a great spot except for the tourist hordes, and the fact that the GG costs $5 for toll. The Presidio and the SW area are probably better (esp since I'm always seeing great photos of the GG from these areas.) It's just that I'm very unfamiliar with those areas.

[Chiefy707]

The SW area is called Baker Beach. I only heard about the nude beach but I think it's true. Even then only part of the beach would have nekkid fools running around.

I had to Google this subject but check it out:
The Golden Gate Bridge (http://www.terragalleria.com/california/california.sf-golden-gate-bridge.html)

[yrsdrgn]

wait, so that cliff is not in SF?

nope hehe it's sausillito haha and Chiefy 707 seems to know a lot about the places here in SF. yup yup Baker Beach is a nude beach but not many people go nude down there as often as long time ago haha.

Any final decisions yet about location for the meet?

yeah, i'm not very familiar with those areas as well. but damn, 5 bucks for toll!?

heh, i think the other members here in Cali (Sac, Vacaville) need to help us decide too. i'll talk to El Jefe and see if he's down with a meet. try to contact, what's his name, Galvanoxx??? there in SF and see if he's up for the meet and where.

in any case, if the meet is in/near SF, someone please give me directions. :tongue: :thumbsup: :biggrin:

[yrsdrgn]

Randy (Galvoxx) has been up for a meet for a while haha. We had a get together to check out each others rides but that was it.

If the meet is in SF that'd be tight. a pack of traveling Yari and a whole lot of photos!!!!!


Hey kaotic, do you by any chance know a guy named Andy Wu? he drives a Nissan 200sx

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Hey kaotic, do you by any chance know a guy named Andy Wu? he drives a Nissan 200sx

that name sounds familiar. he drives a 200SX or a 240SX? got any pics of him or his ride?

[yrsdrgn]

200sx and goes to UTI

[Kaotic Lazagna]

if he's ever gone in the L&L down the street from UTI, then yeah, i've seen him and talked to him before. i get a lot of customers that go to UTI. i even let them read my magazines (if i brought one) while they're waiting for their food. lol...but i never see their cars tho.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

speaking of work, i should start getting ready for it. lol...

[yrsdrgn]

alright just wondering. he say he don't know you so yea. reason = he drives back to SF every weekend so maybe he could've given you directions or something. it was a thought

[paradigm]

Either san fran or vallejo is cool by me. My vote is for vallejo though, it would save some money for toll and save us some time in traffic.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

alright just wondering. he say he don't know you so yea. reason = he drives back to SF every weekend so maybe he could've given you directions or something. it was a thought

it's cool. i can get to the wharf and all, but that's about it. i don't know how to get anywhere else in/near SF.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Either san fran or vallejo is cool by me. My vote is for vallejo though, it would save some money for toll and save us some time in traffic.

very true for me. SF is at least a 2 hour drive for me with traffic.

[yrsdrgn]

don't matter to me haha.

[Chiefy707]

I just had to say...


GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS!!!!

Nothing like the #8 seed beating the #1 team! Still, they need to win 3 more games but the Warriors owned Dallas the whole season.

Back in the day I used to cut school alot and kick it in the city. Weird thing was I never got lost. Nowadays I do!

[Chiefy707]

I vote for Vallejo. The $8 I save on toll can go toward a meal at L&L or some Starbucks and a pack of smokes.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

I vote for Vallejo. The $8 I save on toll can go toward a meal at L&L or some Starbucks and a pack of smokes.

i don't smoke, so it'll be Starbucks for me. i've been eating L&L for the past...ah, i forget. i'm eating it right now. hahaha....

[paradigm]

I'm always down for starbucks. :thumbup:

[yrsdrgn]

haha let's go to the Starbucks near Serramonte!!! people always bring they cars there on Saturday nights and some people race after they meet up haha.

[paradigm]

Lol i'd be down. I'm curious to see what people have out there anyways lol. Last time i went to a meet like that i saw 8900000 eg hatches, 400 240's and like a neon. Bleh i still need to pick up suspension and crap for my car. the whole stock thing is starting to get to me lol.

[yrsdrgn]

anyone else down with meeting up around the Starbucks near Serramonte?

[Kaotic Lazagna]

i have no clue where Serramonte is, but i've always heard of it.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

on a different note, i met barebonez today at my work. lol...also saw his red LB.

[Chiefy707]

Serramonte's pretty easy to get to since it's right off 280. Going there back in the day meant funk. As in gang fights over a color or a wrong look. Shit I hated going there but the girls, man!

Shopping-wise there ain't shit over there. Shit, I think Hilltop, Solano, and even the fucking Florin Mall offer better shopping! At least it has a pet shop though, or at least it had a pet shop. Nothing like a pet shop to break the monotony of clothing and shoe stores. It's like a zoo at the mall. I just googled Serramonte, the pet shop is still there.

[barebonedvitz]

:thumbup: hehe wuzup kaotic! it was cool meetin ya! haha!

well.. if u guys are still lookin for suggestions.. like i told kaotic, a ride to Yosemite.. we can all enjoy the twisties with all the up and down grades and with not too many other drivers. Cops are predictable to where they'll most likely stake out (so y'all still gotta bring ur detectors!). the first hour is pretty boring coz it's all county roads and freeway, but once we start hitting the mountains, awww yeeeeeeeee hehehe.. then we can chill, have a bbq at one of the picnic areas... same goes for the road back to wherever y'all live.

but ya.. that was just a thought. just lemme know wuz goin down! :thumbsup: email: julz_loves_you@yahoo.com add me up to ur myspaces! bwahahhaa

but ya.. that was just a thought. just lemme know wuz goin down! :thumbsup: email: julz_loves_you@yahoo.com add me up to ur myspaces! bwahahhaa

awww, i don't have a radar detector. crap. but yeah, any more suggestions out there? so far it's Vallejo, SF, Serramonte, and Yosemite, with Vallejo being favored right now.

[barebonedvitz]

hahaha, a pet shop. we can take pics with aminals. :laugh:

hoLy picture taking hehehe.. we can look for pets that best describes us! bwahaha.. show and tell too

[Chiefy707]

I'll bring my tarantulas.

I'm all for Vallejo. I was thinking about a group cruise though, considering the Bay Area is rimmed by the 101 to the west, 237 to the south, 880 on the east and 780 to 80 then 37 in the north.
It's not like we should meet in Vallejo then cruise the Bay and stop for a BBQ at Yosemite all in 1 day though. Summer isn't here yet and when it is it's more than 24 hours long. BTW I don't want to roll through Yosemite until I get my rims (wider rubber FTW!)
Something like that would need planning. And, since it might be a pretty big deal going to Yosemite, might as well get the SoCal Yarii in on this and meet up with them somewhere halfway. (Then again maybe Yosemite isn't as far south as I'm thinking it is)

[paradigm]

I agree. If we go to yosemite we should make it a bigger deal cuz thats like an all day thing and a much longer trip lol.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

but yeah, i agree with Chiefy707, i don't think i'll even have rims and tires by summer, so i'm all for Vallejo/SF.

[yrsdrgn]

Yosemite!!!! that place is awesome haha. We don't need animals that best describe us our Yari take that haha. A pack of Yari running through the paths of Yosemite...........that'd be a kick ass site to see haha. Yea we should hit up them SoCal folk for this Yosemite trip.

So Vallejo and SF are the main targets for our NorCal get together? If so, Start Voting haha!!!

[barebonedvitz]

Yosemite is "almost-sorta-kinda" like our midway point wid socal hehe! i also remember there's a nice mountain pass along hwy 120 which is just 2 -3 hrs away from SF and Sac.

ya, same here. i agree.. it takes big planning especially if we're hookin up wid socaL... that'll be sick if we can puLL it off! yeee

ima canvas more places.. i'm just checkin out google and yahoo maps right now.. ima check other forums. But cruisin round Vallejo sounds as a good starter for us to get to know each other! yee

-JuLz

[yrsdrgn]

Chiefy, Kaotic, and Bareboned are for Vallejo. Anyone else?

I'm still neutral at this point since I don't know of many good locations to go for a meet other than Serramonte.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

hahaha, start voting people. i'll ask El Jefe where he wants to meet, if he hasn't already voted.

[barebonedvitz]

damnit.. i think i need to drop my car now... so i won't be the tallest yaris out there.. LOL

[Kaotic Lazagna]

damnit.. i think i need to drop my car now... so i won't be the tallest yaris out there.. LOL

hahaha. don't forget to do the other thing we talked about too.

[barebonedvitz]

bwahhahah! oh shnapz...i'm sure i got new tires by that time so it's all uniform!

[yrsdrgn]

i hope i'm able to drop my rims back on by that time lol

[yrsdrgn]

Galvoxx where are you!!!! Drop a line here again buddy haha.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

bwahhahah! oh shnapz...i'm sure i got new tires by that time so it's all uniform!

also matching color?

[Kaotic Lazagna]

i hope i'm able to drop my rims back on by that time lol

i hope i'll have some rims by that time. :frown:

[yrsdrgn]

it's not a competition to see who has more stuff on they car....it's just to see what everyone done to they car so far, future plans, photoshoot of cars, meeting each other and just chilling haha

[Kaotic Lazagna]

haha, yeah, i know. i just don't want to be the only one there that's still rolling on hubcaps. heh.

[yrsdrgn]

i might run on the hubs depending if i can drop tires on the rims by then ahah

[Chiefy707]

I think I need to re-drop mine's. It still sorta looks tall even with the TRD springs and struts, then again maybe I just need some rims.

I wonder who among us will have the coolest looking Yaris? I'm sure it won't be me!

[yrsdrgn]

haha yea i do wonder. well no one post any pictures of they car at it's current status on this thread.........we'll all find out during our meet how each car has been coming along haha.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

i might run on the hubs depending if i can drop tires on the rims by then ahah

please do. that way i won't be the only one. lol :tongue:

[Kaotic Lazagna]

haha yea i do wonder. well no one post any pictures of they car at it's current status on this thread.........we'll all find out during our meet how each car has been coming along haha.

hahaha, and try not to look at pics in other sections of NorCal member's pics.

[yrsdrgn]

i agree!

[Kaotic Lazagna]

so, anyone else want to cast their vote?

hey yrsdrgn, heard from Galvoxx?

[Chiefy707]

Too late! I've been looking since I joined this site! Just look at yrsdrgn's avatar... he got cool crystal blue headlights! I also heard him mention putting his rims back on, plus his car has coilovers?! :eyebulge:

$1 says yrsdrgn has the coolest looking Yaris!:biggrin:

[Kaotic Lazagna]

not to mention that he has the RS spoiler, i think it's the RS he has. or was it the Rallye? ah, i forget.

[yrsdrgn]

so, anyone else want to cast their vote?

hey yrsdrgn, heard from Galvoxx?

haven't heard from Galvoxx yet.

I do have the RS spoiler on my car

The headlight films went bye bye cuz cop troubles...............so many running around my area lately......it's crazy

[Kaotic Lazagna]

hahaha, yeah, i remember you saying that you took it off. you should put it back on, if you can, for the meet.

[Chiefy707]

BTW Kaotik, I just saw your Eclipse of Sac post... nice.

[yrsdrgn]

as for my vote I'll go along with Vallejo though SF is fun.....but have to get away from hometown some time right? haha

I wish i could put the blue film back on my headlights but not for another $65 haha

[Chiefy707]

Dammit this thread is becoming AIM! I'll post, read another thread, comeback here and find my post replied to... more than once!

Anyways I was wondering what do you guys want to end up doing to your Yaris? Will you keep it as a daily driver? A weekend toy? A trailer bitch showcar?
I'll start:

Daily driven 07 hatch future mods (hopefully):
Exterior
-17" Tenzo DC5's
-Kaminari bodykit
-OEM Canadian Toyota foglights
-JDM Vitz RS taillights
-CQ Lighting HID's
Interior
-Red interior light kit for the rear
-Greddy Informeter or Blitz RVIT MMD
-A1 Electric power locks and windows
Drivetrain
-TRD drop in air filter, no CAI for me
-TRD short shifter

I don't care for ICE so long as I can hear what's playing with the windows down on the freeway. I can actually get the rims, tails, and MMD right now but me and my GF are arguing over the money. If anything I will at least get the MMD since I need a tach.

Something I'm always daydreaming about is a 2zzGE swap which actually isn't out of the question. My 2nd car is a 03 Matrix XRS that's almost paid for and I want to get rid of. It has over 120K miles so it would be useless as a trade in. Still, it's just a daydream because I would still need to rebuild the engine and tranny. That and I turn something that was once fuel friendly into something that isn't. Plus the 2zz uses a throttle cable so a swap wouldn't be smog legal. I can daydream though right? A 2zz Yaris would be the ultimate sleeper.

[yrsdrgn]

I'm just going to keep mine as a daily driven Yari.

other than that I'm set. if i tried doing body kit I'm sure that I wouldn't be able to make it up my driveway and it'd be one of the cars to be damaged in a parking lot around here.

hehe let's hold off on our current/future upgrades for this thread until we have the meet hehe we can discuss the mods then yes yes? hehe until then, we can think of questions to ask each other haha.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

BTW Kaotik, I just saw your Eclipse of Sac post... nice.

YOU LOOKED!? why you little...lol...:laugh: j/k. thanks.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

as for my vote I'll go along with Vallejo though SF is fun.....but have to get away from hometown some time right? haha

I wish i could put the blue film back on my headlights but not for another $65 haha

damn!

[GuySmily]

Oh ha you work at the L&L by Subway/Frys? My gf lives in Natomas off Club Center. She has a blazing blue LB. Dealer just installed her TRD shocks/springs, spoiler, etc..

I've seen a billion sedans around, as well as a white LB that lives across the street from her, and a blazing blue LB that's always on Del Paso near Safeway.

Anyway, she's been begging me to take her to SF. It'd be cool to meet some other Yaris owners (even though we'd probably take my MR2), whether here in Sac or down by the bay.

So how about picking a weekend to get together on.. Maybe in a couple Saturdays or something.

but yeah, was that invite for me? if so, then yeah, but i work on Saturdays, so it'd have to be after 4:00pm. just lemme know.

[yrsdrgn]

Oh I completely forgot there's an L&L right there, and it's closer to her house too =p She lives off of Club Center Dr, but her car is garage-kept so you won't see it much. My mr2 is sits in the driveway when I visit her.

I wasn't thinking of anything specific. Whether we do a mini sac meet at your work or everyone goes down to SF for a BBQ at the park or whatever.. I don't even have a Yaris. Just trying to help out =p

[Kaotic Lazagna]

[BailOut]

I'm technically a Nevadan but Sacramento is right over the Sierras from me. If this is where you end up holding your event I can come down and host a fuel efficiency/hypermiling clinic on the side, if anyone is interested.
