Official Ohio thread

[Black Yaris]

I figured there is a bunch of us in here and we always chat to eachother in other threads, we should have our own thread :)

[ChinoCharles]

Its weird too... last state you'd expect to see this car.

[Black Yaris]

no shit, we are popping up like weeds now

[Black Yaris]

Notice we take over the boards with post?

[Poorboy]

I've only seen two lift backs ever on the road. I'm a service tech and I drive a service van all day and I've only seen 2 lbs? I'm in one of the major cities in ohio, cleveland, and there are no yarii around!:frown: alot of sedans though:smile:

[Black Yaris]

I am in Toledo... and Chino is the 2nd in 8 months I have seen

[jdubau55]

Im taking over this pansy party.

[ChinoCharles]

HAHA!

I've seen quite a few. There are a few in Hudson... a blue sedan, a flint mica sedan and a red liftback to name a few. I've probably seen a dozen now.

[ChinoCharles]

Ohio's in full effect right now. You guys will have more pictures than you know what to do with later.

[Black Yaris]

I only got 2 pix :( I gotta wash all the turnpike grime off and clear over my lights then I will have some steath gangster pic up

[ChinoCharles]

I'll be there.

[Black Yaris]

ok we get enough ppl to go I will get us a tent

[spkrman]

I'm sure we can scrape up enough folks to get a tent :D

[Black Yaris]

Only bad part is we only fit into the Toyota/Mazda Car Catagory so that is a lot of cars to go up against in a show and shine... Kinda hard to put a Supra up against a Yaris

[spkrman]

lol ouch...

ive never done the car show thing (audio show, plenty), and havent really looked over the classes. Seems different almost every show.

IMO, I'd do a yaris/fit/versa etc class... now THAT would get interesting :headbang:

[ChinoCharles]

I'm not going to enter or win. I just want to see some cool cars and bring some attention this way.

[Black Yaris]

I hope they add a "micro" class for this year. If we have a big Yaris World showing to Indy Bash, with such a new and rare car I know there will be a few pix in some magazines of us

yep x2... I'd never have the $ to build an extreme show car... and if I did, I'm not sure thats where I'd spend it lol.

Although I've always been in the audio section... I've been to a few import style/carl casper shows as both spectator and competitor. Its much better to compete, even if you have no chance of winning, just to be part of the event. Everytime I spectate, I just wish my car was there.

[Black Yaris]

Another Ohio get together in "T"-town (sorry for the pun)
Marc came up from BG and my buddy came over with his MR2 Turbo we were all fuckin around with cars in the garage, put the Megan Header on Marc's Yaris, and my other buddy's plugs were all fouled out, plus it was fun to play with a turbo yota... well here are the pix

[Black Yaris]

There goes the snow again... April... just last week it was sunshine and cruisin weather, now... SNOW... BLAH

[Black Yaris]

Back to being Warm WTF? I love Ohio

[ChinoCharles]

http://nelsonledges.com/

Sounds like a perfect spot for an Ohio meet to me.

[Black Yaris]

possibly, if you want to have a meet with all the Chi town guys that is going to be too far... Toledo to Chi is 3.5-4 hours and you are about 2 hours away and every thing is all on I-80...

[spkrman]

yep, toledo area FTW... anything past that is pushin it for most chi-town folks. Also note I'm moving to louisville, not that it would be a dramatic time difference.

That being said, I'll be out in toledo and akron later this month... when I get an exact date I'll let you know so we can grab a beer :)

[ChinoCharles]

Sweet. Akron is 20 minutes from me. :biggrin:

[Imagine]

Whats crackin all of you ohians. Count me into the mix, even though I have nothing good to show. Just a lowly stock Yaris:laugh:

What part of Ohio you in?

OHIO YARIS SPEED!!

[Nigal]

So this is where all the buckeyes are? I'm in West-central.

[PolrWht07]

I've had my Yaris for three weeks now, been within a 50-100 mile radius of Dayton, and with the exception of going back to the dealership a time or two I haven't seen a single Yaris, liftback, or sedan, AT ALL! It's pretty cool.

[sf180th]

I saw my first yaris sedan other than mine a couple days ago, then yesterday I see a sedan delivering pizza, there popin up like weeds around here.

[Black Yaris]

I am trying to see if I can get some more Yarii on there... They are Yaris bashing :(

Toledotuners spans from Indiana to eastern Ohio and up in to Michigan and down to Columbus.....

About the only ones I've seen around Dayton are on I-75 passing through. If I see a white sedan in my travels around town I'll be sure to honk at ya. :thumbsup:

I'll be the silver sedan.

I'm saying all Yaris owners in the dayton, cincy, columbus area, WE NEED TO HAVE A GATHERING OF YARIS' LET'S GET ORGANIZED!!

[Black Yaris]

I am all about an Ohio meet. I have been all about an Ohio meet for a while... I am willing to drive from Toledo, Columbus would be the best since we do have quite a few members in the Cleveland Area that could join us.... someone in columbus area organize and set a date. I am down

[Silver Streak S]

I'm new to Yaris World. Just bought my Yaris S Sedan a few days ago. I live in Hartville, OH which is located between Akron and Canton. I have seen two white sedans and another silver sedan within the last couple days in Hartville alone. We need to change the name of our town to Yarisville.

[Black Yaris]

bump for all the ohio newbs

[freshprince130]

i live in cinci that would be sweet if we all got together and worked on cars :headbang:

[Black Yaris]

we have enough Ohio members we should have a meet some time this summer

[EggMan]

Hello to all Ohioans. Im new to the forum. I have owned my liftback since 7/7/06. A get together would be cool if someone could organize something.

[Silver Streak S]

My sedan will be all stock for a while but I would love to have a meet somewhere to see what modifications you guys have made to yours. I might learn a few things. What would be a good central location for all Ohioans. Someone earlier in this thread or another thread mentioned Summit Racing in Tallmadge, Ohio. Although, I think they were talking about the Super Summit and the need to have a section for Yaris owners.

[Black Yaris]

well lets set a date and a place and do it!....

[Christopher]

I drive around greater Cleveland repairing Forklifts every day. I have had my '07 3-door since Jan., 07. I have seen several 3-doors, but I would say 80% are 4-doors.

Thanks, Ryan! I was really sorry to read about your car. I had a suicidal deer throw itself on my old car so I know what that's like. I hope the rest of your birthday wasn't bad...I'm trying to ignore the fact that mine is in two weeks, something usually ALWAYS goes wrong!

[33OH]

If they total it i'm going for a WRX. But i'll stay on the Yaris forum. I love it here. :)

[ChinoCharles]

It is gonna be really close. I hit a deer not too long ago, but the damage wasn't quite as bad as yours. Once you start bending and snapping mounts in the front it gets costly.

[33OH]

I'm pretty sure something on the frame is bent. The car was horrible to drive home.

[ellenbetty]

I live in Stow Ohio. I own 2 2007 3 door hatch backs. I bought the first new. I traded in a 1994 Ford Escort Wagon. After driving my Yaris for a year, I traded in a 1998 Ford Ranger, for a used 2007 3 door hatch back. Since I dislike red, I had Macco repaint my second Yaris, you guessed it, Meteoritic Metallic. ;) I have mounted a after market Garmin navigation system behind the steering wheel on both Yarises. I took photos of both navigation systems as seen from the driver's wheel and posted the photos on the web.

I would be interested in a Yaris meet in Ohio.

I did research on how much gasoline I save driving my Yarises over driving a Ford Escort or the Ford Ranger. I drove 16,000 miles last year. Using the EPA web site, I save 260 dollars a year over driving the Escort, and save 780 dollars of gas each year over driving the Ranger. And I reduced my carbon foot print by 4.55 tons of carbon a year.

[33OH]

Welcome! I've been to Stow a few times, I'm probably about an hour south of you.

[ellenbetty]

I seen a few other Yarises in Stow, blue 3 door lift back is the one that sticks to my mind. It will be interesting to see how Toyota converts the Yaris into a hybrid. I hope that Toyota makes the Yaris hybrid a mild hybrid, something affordable. It's a shame that I am broke buying 2 Yarises. I would have bought just one Yaris liftback mild hybrid instead.

I would like to have my 2 Yarises painted with stripes and lettering to look like Star Trek shuttle craft. Then get custom tags. It will take a while to pay off having my second Yaris painted Meteoritic Metallic. Buying my second used 2007 Yaris 3 door liftback eats up most of my spending money.

[ChinoCharles]

Hey Ellen. I work in Stow, live in Hudson. :smile: You have two of them? Mine is silver w/ blue stripes.

[Greenthunder]

Welcome, I've been trying to get a Yariswold get-together around for this summer

heres the link for it http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=18252

stop on by and feel free to give any suggestions

[ellenbetty]

You have two of them?

I bought my first Yaris 3 door liftback new in March of 2007.

When my brother died, he left his Ford Ranger to my Mom. I bought the Ranger from my Mom. I drove the Ranger for a year to give my Mom time to adjust to my brother's death. I got tired of driving the Ranger. The Ranger is a gas guzzler. The Ranger is hard to park.

I decided to trade in the Ranger for a second Yaris 3 door liftback. I searched the Internet. I found a local Ford dealer with a used 2007 Yaris with automatic.

The second Yaris was red. So I had Macco repaint the Yaris meteoric metallic. Driving 2 Yarises (one at a time lol) is my way of getting the gas guzzling Ranger off the road (at least for a few weeks) and getting a fuel economical Yaris back on the road.

[spockmay]

Just picked up my new 2010 3 door liftback on Saturday! I took it through Amish country for a bit of a breakin and loved every minute of it!

It took about 3 weeks for the dealer to get it in, but it was worth the wait. The only disappointment that I have is the lack of a "VSC off" button. But that's a minor quibble...

See you all on the road!

[33OH]

Welcome Spock!

Looking to add the cruise control and some pedals next.

[Laughboy]

Bought my Yaris back in Sept. 2010 5dr Carmine Metalic Red :) Driving out in the Columbus area.

[33OH]

^ Awesome! Love that color. Welcome!

[amishpimpdaddy]

Bought my Yaris back in June '10, but just recently found Yaris World. Freakin love this site!!!!

[33OH]

Welcome!

Where's K-town? :)

[Imagine]

I'm back!!! lol Ok, I'm sure no one remembers me I haven't posted here much, and it's been a while. I bought a Yaris back in 2007 with the intent on my (now ex) girlfriend having it. It was Bayou Blue and an Automatic. Didn't care for the combination for myself really. I technically still own the car since it's still in my name, but it's basically hers.

Anywho, I picked up my own Yaris last night. Found a great deal on a really nice 2009 Black Sand Pearl 3dr Liftback. Full power, cruise, 5 spd. Even came with a really nice set of 17 inch Konig Bump wheels. I forgot how fun they were to drive, I like the adjustable rear seat that my 07 didn't have. Most importantly, I LOVE the 5spd version!

[33OH]

^ Welcome back dude. Where in Ohio are you?

[Imagine]

Around Wilmington, about midway between Columbus and Cinci.

[33OH]

Ahh gotcha. Opposite side of me (in Dover, near Canton).

Welcome! :w00t:

[Hamster]

Welcome! :w00t:

Hey, thanks! By the way, I'm surprised to see so many people here from small towns in Ohio. I had to look up a lot of these places. I bought my Yaris brand new in the spring of 2009. It's my first and only car and ever, and I'm going to have it for a long, long time. And I mean that. As of this writing, it's got just under 10,000 miles on the odometer. So yes, I'm a Yaris owner, but I'm not much of a Yaris driver. :tongue: I guess that's what happens when you don't go on roadtrips.

[33OH]

^ Yeah, I live in a town of about 20,000 people. Little place called Dover. I visit Columbus/Cleveland/Pittsburgh often though.

And I'm creeping up on 90K miles, but I drive 110 miles/day to work and back so it's understandable. :)

[Hamster]

And I'm creeping up on 90K miles, but I drive 110 miles/day to work and back so it's understandable. :)

Wow!:eek: And I live ten miles from work, and to me, that's too far! Everyone has their own level of tolerances when it comes to commuting, though. Soon I'll be moving, and I'll only be 2.5 miles from work downtown. And I'll be taking the bus, since my bus passes will be free to me, paid by my employer. So, pretty soon, the Yaris will only be used once a week for grocery getting, and I'll no longer use it for commuting. So I think I'm going to have my Yaris forever, at the rate I'll be driving soon.

When part of Columbus do you typically visit?

[33OH]

Usually the campus area, around 11th Street, or Gahanna. Have friends and family in both places.

[Hamster]

That's cool! I'm not too familiar with Gahanna, though. I know Northwest Columbus (Hilliard, Dublin) best. I'll soon be moving to the Grandview area....right around Fifth Ave/Third Ave. Don't expect to see my Yaris on the streets, though....My new rental comes with a garage. And thank goodness for that. I forgot to mention, I'm moving in part because my lovely upstanding neighbors keyed up the driver's side of my car. I absolutely had to move to someplace with a garage so that nobody could hurt my baby again. After a long wait, I can now finally get damaged panels refinished/repainted. Glad I have comprehensive insurance, but I'm still going to be out my deductible.

P.S. Never live in an apartment complex no matter how nice. I found this out the hard way. Nothing but trash who doesn't respect your stuff. I don't know what the point is of keying, of all things, a Yaris.

[33OH]

^ This is why I live in a small town and commute. I don't have to worry about things like that, hell we leave our doors unlocked 3/4 of the time.

But sorry to hear about it! Not cool when people can't learn to respect each other and their property. =/

[Hamster]

Forgot to mention, I'm a female. It's the couple that lives next to me who keyed up the Yaris. I mean, I know it was them, but I can't prove it. I'm fairly certain that it was the dumb guy. Yeah, that's a real manly thing to do....Vandalize a girl's subcompact for no reason. Those two are nothing but worthless losers. They apparently graduated from OSU (based on all the alumni stickers they have on their Hondas), but they're working as bartenders. As a result, they come home in the middle of the night, and that's when my car was attacked. They're complete cowards, since they keyed my car when everyone else was sleeping. The only tiny bit of consolation I have is that I'm better off than them, money-wise and career-wise.

I sure wish I could live far outside the city. But I just don't have the patience to commute that far! Do the country roads you drive on get real nasty in the winter? If so, how does the Yaris hold up?

[33OH]

Aw, that is very lame then, especially since you're a female. And I'm glad you're taking the high road on it and just leaving the situation by moving out. As much as it hurts me to say it because I love cars, "it's just a car." :redface:

I use snow tires in the winter, but if I didn't commute over 100 miles per day I wouldn't need to as it handles pretty good in the winter. The roads do get pretty nasty, but I do live inside city limits, actually a few blocks from downtown, just not in a big city. :wink:

[Hamster]

Might be just a car, but it's still the most expensive thing that I own. No interest in buying a house....I attempted that earlier this year, and then I was stunned how everyone (banks, realtors, etc.) were trying to rip me off. They just presumed that I was too stupid to figure out what they were doing. Screw that, I'll stick to renting. By the way, I'm not moving just because of the car. When the losers come home at night, they talk and make a lot of noise outside. Even though my townhouse has two bedrooms, I'm stuck sleeping in the finished basement just so I can get uninterrupted sleep. And given that radon is such a problem in central Ohio, I'm not sure if sleeping in the basement is such a great idea long-term. Anyway, my situation should improve greatly very soon.

Anyway, sounds like you have an easier time driving in the winter than I do. Columbus is terrible when it comes to plowing snow. Not that I've ever come close to running off the road with the Yaris, but I have slid on ice before. I still have the crappy OEM Bridgestones on. Columbus roads after a snowfall + crappy OEM tires = bad combination. I think I'll look into getting new tires right before this coming winter. Any recommendations?

[33OH]

^ Hankook Optimo H727's are awesome in the snow and are great overall. They're a general all-season that get 100,000 miles on them. I'm running them now actually.

And I bought a house here last year as I don't plan on ever moving out of the area. But we get more snow then you get down there, but up here there's not really traffic so you just take your time and cruise through the snow. Yeah, I've slid but there's not much around to slid into. :)

And yes, alot of us have the radon issues. My county is actually #1 in the state for cancer rates at the moment and one of the top counties for radon.

[yariscupcar]

I've had my Yaris for a while now, but new to Yaris World. I want to start setting up my Yaris for Auto-X & track. Hello Yaris World forums. (from Dayton)

[33OH]

[JumpmanYaris]

I am off that day, I am willing to drive for another Ohio meet . More details please

[vten]

So far is 33OH, Skeck , me and maybe hamster is going ....itll be at rooster wings join at olentangy river rd.... Around 1pm on Sunday

[JumpmanYaris]

Cool my wife might bring her Yaris as well to then will see

[toad]

ROOSTERS!!!!!! i remember that place! i used to live in columbus and i would take my employees out there for wings and beer when i got my quarterly bonuses -back when i was making real money :( anyways, if i didn't live 3 hours away i would make the trip out there. bw3 doesn't have anything on roosters!

[33OH]

Rooster's - Sunday, March 18th at 1pm. Be there!

[vten]

Sweet!! see everyone at rooster ... Ill be driving the red yaris

[Hamster]

In case vten didn't inform all of the rest of you, yes, I'll be there, along with my 2009 Meteorite Metallic 5-door hatchback. I have no excuse not to go....I live down in the Grandview area, and the Rooster's is just four miles from where I live!

As an aside, by coincidence, I went to Rooster's for the first time last week with a bunch of co-workers. The food was great and pretty inexpensive, so it's a good choice!

[33OH]

Looking forward to seeing everyone today! Getting ready to leave here. (>2 hour drive)

[vten]

Rooster
3370 Olentangy River Rd, Columbus, OH 43202-1521 is the address :) see everyone soon

[33OH]

Great meeting up with everyone! Here's a few shots I snapped before we left.

[vten]

good to see everyone yesterday.

we should make a plan for a bigger event :P...hopefully my projects are done by then :thumbup:

[Dave55]

That looked like fun.
Cool to see that many Yarii in one place!

How far from Youngstown do you meet and how often??

[33OH]

We were in Columbus yesterday, so that's a little bit of a hike from Youngstown!

[Hamster]

Yep, it's always fun to see the real-life faces (and cars!) behind the random usernames. Looking forward to the next meet!

[JumpmanYaris]

I'm truly Sorry for not going. I woke up that day with hardly feeling to drive. raincheck

[Hamster]

Hey, don't worry about it. There's always a next time!

[vten]

when is the next one guys / girls ? ..............I have a couple updates on my ride :biggrin:

[Hamster]

I'm up for whenever! I have no weekend plans at all for the foreseeable future.

By the way, I was so impressed by the way Ryan's/33OH's Clazzio seats looked, that I really wanted to buy a set for my own car. I contacted Sparks Toyota, and found out that they are only available for the cars with the 60/40 folding rear sets. Can you believe that? My Yaris doesn't have the split-folding rear sets, since I bought the non-power package version. Argh!

[amishpimpdaddy]

Any idea when the next meet will be? I wouldn't mind going.

[Hamster]

No idea....I guess it depends on when everyone's available. Hopefully soon!

[Qmobile]

pending where it is I mite be down

[33OH]

Weren't my seats - those were skeck's. I'm stuck with you, no 60/40 rear seats!

[33OH]

And I'm down for a meet. I think Summit Racing (Tallmadge, OH) would be a cool spot but you Columbus folk would have to drive a bit.

[amishpimpdaddy]

I'm fine with anywhere in Ohio. I live in Southern Ohio and drive to Cleveland for Indians games all the time.

[vten]

Im down for the meet up, but I dont think my 35 tires would agree with the long drive :P

[OH yaris]

HI everyone, new to the forum and in northeast OHIO! 103K on an '07 hatchback. Would gladly meet somewhere to see what you all have done to your cars; Summit Racing sounds like a good place.

[33OH]

^ Welcome! What part of NEO if you don't mind me asking?

[OH yaris]

Thanks for the welcome. no problem, I'm north of Akron

[33OH]

Very cool! Was just up there day before yesterday, went to Strongsville, Medina and then onto the greater Cleveland area. I'm about 40 minutes south of Akron.

[OH yaris]

Right on, Ohio is a fun place to drive around. Have you had the Yaris out to play in the snow? I was on a trip south a couple years back and drove through a monster of a snow storm from the top of West Virginia through the bottom of North Carolina. This little car was awesome!

[33OH]

Yep, I did the same actually. Coming home from North Carolina and went through WV on the turnpike through a snowstorm. They drive amazingly well in the snow.

[JTDBT903]

And I'm down for a meet. I think Summit Racing (Tallmadge, OH) would be a cool spot but you Columbus folk would have to drive a bit.

Summit would be great!

I'm about a little over an hour away.

[Hamster]

Weren't my seats - those were skeck's. I'm stuck with you, no 60/40 rear seats!

Oops, looks like I mixed your cars up.

Anyway, I don't know about Tallmadge. I looked it up on Google maps, and it's a 2 1/2 hour drive from Columbus. I'm not sure if I'm willing to spend 5 hours driving on one single day. I couldn't care less about the gasoline, it's just that I'm not a fan of sitting in a car for that long. I'll have to think about it.

EAston area is good for shopping and eat. The short north area is great for eat as well ... It's a walking distance , close to downtown and 5 mins away from campus so it's a great street to be around on weekend night.

[Black Yaris]

These were on my wife's Yaris. They were taken off every winter before snow. 10,000 miles tops on the tires, they show very minimal wear. No imperfections in tires.
No rash, bends or cracks in wheels.
They basically look brand new
We are only selling them because they do not fit her new car.

16x7 Drag DR20 +40 offset
205/50R16 BFG Super Sport A/S Tires

asking $550 + shipping (willing to drive for a somewhat local sale)
