no problem

ill be in niagara falls all week, so i have access to it

[thebarber]

If anyone needs some HIDs or LEDs for the meet on Wednesday and let me know today so I can set the parts out to bring. I'll be coming in from Niagara Falls.

[Exiwolfman]

What is the cost like for a 07 yaris HB ,also I'm gone be earlier than 8 30pm hope the rain in the forecast stays away too 😕

sent from my S4 on Mars

[thebarber]

$80 for a flexible kit that has hid high and low beams. Let me know the color and I can bring it along.

[Exiwolfman]

Color ? What color do they come in also I have to remove the DRL ..right ?

sent from my S4 on Mars

[thebarber]

4300k, 5000k, 6000k, 8000k, 10000k, 12000k

If I recall correctly you don't need to disable the DRL's, but I can show you how to do it at the meet

[Exiwolfman]

That would be cool I had 6k in my integra as low beam now as high beam does it jump up to 8k or 10k

sent from my S4 on Mars

[Exiwolfman]

As in what's the highest I can go for low beam would be my question

sent from my S4 on Mars

[thebarber]

The colour is the same on high and low beam. Always. The HID bulbs doesn't get brighter from high beams, the bulb moves back (with the aid of a small magnet) which gives a high beam spread. I currently have a flexible kit in my Mk4 jetta. They're great.

4300 is OEM white
5000 pure white
6000 white with hint of blue
8000 more blue
10000 gets a deeper blue almost into violet tint
12000 is violet

I personally run 4300k as you get best visibility and it looks stock

[Exiwolfman]

Now that I think about it 6k did have that hint of blue and it did look good think I'll go with that as for brightness it would be equal to a 55w bulb on low ..I never raised up my light after lowering car so no worry about blinding ppl cos that would be my consurn too.
Just wonder what a 6k would look like with the yaris big lenses ..?

sent from my S4 on Mars

[Exiwolfman]

Also how is the life spend on the bulbs any pics of the kit ...?
Thinking I'll go for the 6000k

sent from my S4 on Mars

[thebarber]

Check out the Kitchener HID Facebook page....

I'll bring the kit anyway

[Exiwolfman]

OK sounds Good and I will tx ..will see u at the meet 😀

[aspro]

Anyone have any engine covers they want to part with? Looking at either garms aluminum or the carbon fiber ones. Anyone? Let me know and I'll bring some money on the 13th. Thanks

[thebarber]

also have a projector retrofit kit for sale....$120. 6000k bulbs, white halos

[Exiwolfman]

[thebarber]

[goliath1812]

Barber, sorry to get off topic, but have you been to Adventure Rooms in Kitchener? If not, it's a lot of fun, id recommend to anyone that lives nearby.

Nice pic of the all-silver Yarises (Echo, but will still be a Yaris to me) lined up

[sheekeebut]

Had a great time all. See you next month.

[WeeYari]

Thought about popping in around 10 last night returning from Oshawa. Passengers were too tired and just wanted to get home.

3 West End newbies and all silver. What are the odds!

Will hopefully get out in Sept once daughters soccer season has ended.

May 2011 I think was the best for Yaris/Echo turnout. Dwindled ever since.

[thebarber]

Good times, fellas

[Exiwolfman]

That was fun tx for the HID kit Barber should/definitely will have it installed by next meet 😎

sent from my S4 on Mars

[DivineHelios]

Next month definitely! Be there or be Teemo! I shall try not to be too shy and I want to talk to more people and listen to their stories! Sorry if I was being little bit awkward, I'm just trying too hard to try fitting in (little bit tired from commuting back and forth from Mississauga to Alliston too lol) and it was my first car meet. =D

[DivineHelios]

Hey, does anyone know if TRD parts from Scion Xa will fit on Echo RS? Any information would be epic and greatly appreciated. Thank you!

[aspro]

Damn, looks like I missed out on a decent turn out! I'll be there for the next one fo sho! Everyone have fun? I've never been before and was really looking forward to it but I got slapped by the fat hand of work. Next time!

Anyone make dust of that gtr with their yaris? Bahaha

[sheekeebut]

It was a great time, and I'm sure everyone who was there would agree. It was my first ever meet, and was just blown away by the knowledge everyone had to offer. It was like 2 weeks' worth of non-stop forum discussion, crammed into a night of donuts, burgers, aftermarket parts and automotive eye candy.

[thebarber]

Glad we could help sheekeebut

[5ABIVT]

Glad we could help sheekeebut

if I can get the yaris cleaned up and zainoed I might bring it by. barber pm inc just realized you were local too :):thumbsup:

Marking it in the calendar. Whats the best time to show up? It will be cool to meet some of you guys from this forum.

[sheekeebut]

I'll be there. 8:00, 8:30, right guys? If anyone's got access to a Yaris stereo system with aux input, compatible with sedan, please let me know.

[Exiwolfman]

730 or so for me ...why not just install new head unit

sent from my S4 on Mars

[sheekeebut]

OEM would be better, to avoid broken windows. And I hate carrying faceplates. If you have any suggestions with the above in mind, I'm all ears.

[Exiwolfman]

Well one way is place new deck in the glove box in front of u ..and leave stock as is ..

sent from my S4 on Mars

[sheekeebut]

Is there a cheap deck small enough? That glovebox is already pretty tight.

[sheekeebut]

By the way, exiwolfman, sway bar, an absolute must I will do for every fwd car I get from now on!

[Exiwolfman]

I got my for 86$ on sale at best buy has USB and aux it may fit would maybe require cutting inside the glovebox other option is right under the center console in front of shifter ,more space and can't really see it

sent from my S4 on Mars

[sheekeebut]

And where can I find those HID pics?

I've got my OEM 6 disc with aux that came out of my 2011 rs HB. Would that work for you? Its practically brand new. Problem is I have to find it haha. Let me know and I'll bring it on the 10th.

I've also got some eibach prokit lowering springs that I pulled from the same car for an h&r coilover kit. The springs have got about 30-40k on them. Same as TRD springs if I'm not mistaken. I've also got a set of motegi mr125's with milanza rubber 195/50/ 16x7 /40 offset(about 20k on rims and rubber almost new) if anyone is interested. Never winter driven as I have winter rim/tire combo.

Pic below. This pic is for the rims, not the springs. The car as pictured is with the h&r coilover kit.

Yes, please do bring the stereo, as I'd love to keep it OEM, of course if the price is right. Nice clean look from the side, aspro. Reminds me of the Peugeot 206

[aspro]

OK I have to find it first. Does $150 work for you?

[thebarber]

$150? its not THAT great. i just ordered a new double DIN HU, wiring, surround for my jetta for 140 to my door

someone buy my exhaust

Well ...who knows I just may cos I have been hearing odd noise comes and goes like a heat shield but nothing loose I think my exhaust baffles or something like that are making the noise more like ready to go ..lol so I think lol

Posting this in two threads to ensure you see it.

Chances are high a video will not be found.

I have heard this exhaust a few times when it was installed on the original owners car. At WOT, it is louder than TRD and my Medalion Touring, with a pleasant throaty gurgle at idle and cruising. Given the anal nature of the original owner, I can tell you that everything he did to his car had to make sense. This means that the sound of the exhaust had to be in line with the image the car was portraying. Hence the reason he had Hot Rod Scotts replace the muffler they original incorporated into the build with the one currently in the system being sold.

[sheekeebut]

Would love to see this at the West GTA meet...

...minus the roof rack...
...or plus kickass bikes on roof rack!

Ill be there on the 10th. So you will get a chance to see it.

Roof Racks stay... To me now, it`s like leaving the house commando... Just doesn't feel right, nor looks right. Plus I need all the downforce I can get. All of the 100+ HP this feather packs just keeps grabbing air. I sent a very sincere letter to Toyota inquiring about the absence of an altimeter in the Yaris... Needless to say, they never responded.

I`d put the bikes on there but I can`t justify hauling the bike carriers and the bikes just for a meet. I guess I just aint` JDM enough, yet... Roof racks FTW; bike carriers and bikes FTL.

I can`t risk it without hearing it first - as Anal as the original owner of the exhaust was, well, you haven`t met me yet. A Db louder than mine is already and I won`t sleep at night knowing that it`s louder than I want it to be. Im doing this solely for more flow. I have a cai and dc header with the trd axle back and I have an MI intake manifold on order. My theory is I have all of this clean high flow air coming in from the intake set up and approximately 2/3`s of the exhaust free flowing with the header and axle back so all I`m really missing is free flowing the rest of the exhaust. Gains will probably be minimal but I just want to try it to confirm my theory or put it to rest and just enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that I tried it.

[sheekeebut]

Either I ask now or at meet:

What did you budget for this whole flow overhaul?

[aspro]

Either I ask now or at meet:

What did you budget for this whole flow overhaul?

Budget?... hmm, didn`t set a number, after years of modding cars buying and flipping and loosing (and sometimes gaining) with cars I just kind of know now. You can`t really put a price on it if the results are positive. I`ve already got about 4K in this car and I`m approaching the end of my "invisible" budget. But if something comes along that has a positive effect on the car and meets the criteria then I will gladly spend the money.

I don`t plan to spend too much on this car. This is my work car and daily driver, although I have grown very fond of the capabilities of this car, if I really want to go fast I`ve got a few options in my garage. But that doesn`t mean I don`t want to seek this cars potential... in a safe and Naturally Aspirated manner.

I also don`t want to spend money on something that will void my own specific preferences i.e sound being one of them.

[thebarber]

Aspro, Whether you have the midpipe section that's 1.75 inches replaced with two or two and a quarter or buy this header-back exhaust to your exhaust will get louder. I went the midpipe route on mine originally....

To be honest it made a very noticeable difference in power getting rid of that tiny exhaust

Isn't your car boosted? I'm sure a boosted car would definitely feel the benefits of a more open exhaust than a n/a would.

I need to think it over. What cats and resonators are you running on the header back?
My experience with after market cats and resonators isn't that great. Mind you I have always used magnaflow parts. Maybe that was my problem. I'm sure half of the heat shields found on the 401 have come from my cars haha.

[sheekeebut]

You're definitely right about at least offering.

And true, if a Bluetooth aftermarket deck can be had for $100, I may consider losing this stock look for interior functionality, at the cost of worrying about leaving a faceplate in the car.

I'd say for your deck in great condition, $40 because this would only be to obtain tablet/phone music connectivity.

If that's too low, you can ask exiwolfman how I can sweeten this offer. Though if you accept, you might end up with a heart attack, or type 2 diabetes.

$40 is definitely too low. $80 would work and exiwolfman can keep his type 2 diabetes. Haha everyone one wins!

[sheekeebut]

$60 because it will free you up an entire square foot of storage space, and you can insult me for being such a cheap ass, for free!

[sheekeebut]

By the way, thebarber, do you still have HIDs for sale? All colour temps?

[aspro]

$70 and I will compliment you on your fine bargaining tactics. What a beauty. <- that one was a freebee.

65 because I'd like to buy some useless tire care products to get rid of this awful blooming. And seriously, lowest I can go.

[sheekeebut]

I meant highest... Seriously.

I think I will stay at $70.

Did anyone end up going to the meet last night?

[sheekeebut]

I managed to brave the torrential downpour. Wipers were useless, even on fastest. Got to meet a couple new faces (new to me at least).

[sheekeebut]

And by the way, Forks of the Credit, I'd totally be down with that.

[sheekeebut]

I wish I'd pansied out. I was tailgating trucks just to get some visibility. How does that make sense?

[thebarber]

doesnt. lol.

good meet.

though, if i hadnt been selling HID's, i likely wouldnt have driven out

[aspro]

So how do we go by setting up this meet?

[sheekeebut]

Early meeting around 7:30 Krispy Kreme to gather up any GTA people.

According to maps max 45 minutes without traffic to Forks. Weather permitting (risk of snow or heavy rain weather Canada warnings at Forks)

Feel free to change times as long as we set it.

[sheekeebut]

Exiwolfman, how long from yours to Forks of the Credit?

[thebarber]

Well, the regular Toyota meet is the second Wednesday of every month at 830pm

[WeeYari]

Might want to find out when it is they remove the speed bumps in The Forks for the winter.

[aspro]

Speed bumps? I was there two years ago in the summer with my bike and never ran into any speed bumps. When did this happen?

[WeeYari]

Been there for a couple years. Two sets, one at each end of the village down in the valley. They go in sometime late spring and I'm not sure when they get removed. Probably after leaf season ends.

[aspro]

Ah I see.

[WeeYari]

I just looked it up. 2011 was when they were first installed.

[sheekeebut]

I've got a good 4" clearance and pillowy sidewalls. The question is, would everyone like to do this at Oct meet? (Count me in)

[WeeYari]

It'd be getting too dark for the Forks if you tried to tie this in with the KK meet.

Almost 6 years ago to the day (Oct 5,2008) I tried to arrange a Forks event. Went on the cruise in the morning, followed by a BBQ lunch at my place. Only ended up with myself and two others. Was fun, but I had been hoping for at least a half dozen of us.

At this point may as well wait till October meet

Let's just hope the weather Alberta is having doesn't come east.

[sheekeebut]

Well I can't expect much "shine" at 8:30 in October, either

[Exiwolfman]

Dark good can finally try out my hid 's

sent from my S4 on Mars

[sheekeebut]

Yup, then you can show me

[aspro]

Speaking of HID's... How much are your kits, Barber? Can I get it in 5000k (want it to be more white than blue). Also, any chance you can install it for me - say at the next KK meet? How much for kit and install?

[thebarber]

kits are $80. i don't really feel like installing one...maybe wolfman can do it?

[Exiwolfman]

[Exiwolfman]

sent from my S4 on Mars

[sheekeebut]

... definitely! Be there or be Teemo!

Don't know what Teemo is, but I wouldn't want to be it. Definitely there this October meet, rain, shine, snow, fog, don't care, bring it!

[sheekeebut]

Aside: whatever happened to the legendary Toyota Nation Toronto meets? Googling pulls up very little.

[WeeYari]

What legendary meets are u referring to. There is the monthly TN East End meet at Kennedy Commons and the West End meet at Krispy Kreme. Both have had their hay days and are now mere shadows of their former selves.

Just exaggerating, I wanted to know if there are other meets going on for Toyotas in Toronto area.

[WeeYari]

None that I am aware of. At least no other organized, regularly scheduled meets.

^ ^ now THAT's a meet worth going to

[WeeYari]

Install Day 2010 and BBQ/Cruise 2012. Good times.

We actually had Ohio, Milwaukee, and Ottawa represented at the 2012 BBQ!

[thebarber]

The good ol' days

[WeeYari]

The good ol' days

QFT

Shame none of them are even posting anywhere anymore. Gone, just like uncle who popped in suddenly and started this thread, then promptly vanished again.

[sheekeebut]

Well, he might've started something good. I'm here, and so's aspro and exi

[thebarber]

There was that summer where we had a good turnout of every month but it took going every month to the meet for people to start showing up

[aspro]

Well, hopefully the Yaris boys can resurrect something by going to the TN meets at KK. Im sure if we all go and the community grows we may just be able to get good turnouts.

Although, I`m noticing Different crowds of people buying Yaris` now. Not too many tuner interests in the Yaris anymore - compared to what it was... Ultimately, it kills communities like YW. It`s a rare occurrence for a guy who bought his yaris strictly for fuel economy that he is passionate about the car enough to join a board and attend meets like this. Not saying there aren`t any but definitely a rarity.

I on the other hand am a walking contradiction. Sitting here, ranting about turnouts and I`ve never been to a meet lol. I will change that.

We need to get some Yaris girls to come out. Maybe if we get one or two girls more people will start coming haha.

[WeeYari]

Closest we ever got was the owner of the Versa shown in post# 168. Ever!!

Other than her, it has only been the odd significant other tagging along just to see what the hell is so fun about hanging out in a parking lot.

Oh and sheekeebut, remind me to kick your ass for essentially making fun of my name :wink:

[sheekeebut]

That's alright. I didn't think your name was plural, but kick my ass all the same! At least I can finally meet you and get into these heated intellectual debates face to face. Forum is fun, but a good meet, wow.

[sheekeebut]

Yeah, Hello Kitty girl with her Versa. Need more of them if you want a good tuner turnout.

[aspro]

Ooo couple of months too late for me. I would have picked this up had I not got my tanabe strut brace. I have a friend who may be interested for his 11' HB rs. I'll let you know and maybe I can pick it up on his behalf at the next meet.

How much do you want?

[sheekeebut]

It's not new, so 90. Nuts and bolts and washers included.

[sheekeebut]

Why doesn't your friend come to the meet, add to the attendees list?

[aspro]

Eeek Garm is selling it new for $100. I'll let my friend know.

He won't be here. He's currently out of the country.

[sheekeebut]

Make an offer. This time, no donuts are involved.

[aspro]

Make an offer. This time, no donuts are involved.

Phew, thank god. Another donut for me and I may just be the next wonder of the world. ;p

I'll give him a call later today and ask if he wants to make an offer.

[sheekeebut]

Cool. Is his lowered?

[aspro]

Cool. Is his lowered?

Same year and model as mine but black and yeah he's running stock struts and shocks on the TRD lowering springs. He's also got a TRD short shift kit, motegi Mr 125 16" rims (my old rims) TRD cat back and a home made ram air intake Lol. He claims with this mod his 0-60 times are at par with a Shelby gt500 but I think its all in his head haha :p

[sheekeebut]

Wow, his car must weigh less than me.

[aspro]

Lol imagine that! You would be faster than the speed of light! My bike has about 115hp at the wheels and it weighs 450 lbs. I guess that's the closest comparison. Not quite quicker than light but fast nonetheless

[sheekeebut]

I'd love to get a bike, but I'd probably kill myself. And the wife and kid wouldn't like that.

[sheekeebut]

Seriously though, the only issue I have with getting a (motor)bike is insurance and theft. I just have to get over that. Any advice?

[aspro]

Look for a sports touring bike they're cheap on insurance. I ride an 09 vfr800 looks rides and has the power of a sports bike but its called a "sports touring" and I pay $800 for the year full coverage with a $500 deductible and I'm not married and I'm 27. Married with kids and age brings insurance prices even lower.

[sheekeebut]

Are you ever worried that some unmarked van will pull up one day and toss your bike in? No jinxing, this is a real concern of mine. "Downtown" Mississauga has seen a rise in such occurrences.

[aspro]

No, I think if you worry about things like that you can never enjoy the sport. Same applies for crashing with it.

I'm never too far from the bike when I am off it unless it is in my garage. But if it happens that's what insurance is for. And if it happens they better hope I'm not there otherwise they are in for a serious fight.

[sheekeebut]

Well I might as well check out sports touring. Never really looked into it. I was searching up Ninjas and CBRs the whole time.

[sheekeebut]

Back to topic. Yeah, I'll be there at 8, and with a strut brace. Wolfman, I need to see your HIDs in action.

[Exiwolfman]

Sounds good to me

[IllusionX]

Anybody feel for a November meet? I'll be in the area the weekend of November 8th.

Nov 8th I'll be in Kitchener for a wedding reception though...

[sheekeebut]

Well, every second Wednesday of the month doesn't match that, but if you say you'll be there at the Krispy Kreme at 8:00 pm whatever other day, I'll be there, too. As in, as well. As in, on top of the regularly scheduled meet.

[aspro]

Just throwing this out here I've got a 16gb iPad 2, 3g + WiFi that I'm selling if anyone is interested and I can bring it to the meet. Also got a Motorola defy pro phone that I'm selling. Both are literally brand new with almost zero use. Let me know and I'll bring em' on the 8th.

Oye ...gone be a long drive for me lol

Whatever, sounds like fun. When and where at ?

[aspro]

I say we get a run in at Cayuga before the season comes to an end. Say an early Sunday morning. Get there as soon as they open to run some laps.

We can make it interesting and put in $20 each to a pot and the winner with the best lap time takes the pot. What say you?

[sheekeebut]

I might as well just throw my money at you guys. My Yaris needs a tuned alignment, 10 more horses and a more skilled driver in the cockpit.

[aspro]

Lol we can skip the money part. Just thought it would make for competitive fun.

I'm down just to rip around the track for a couple of hours. I've done some mods to the car since my last trip there and I was putting out 1 min 40 seconds on the nose with the car pretty much stock except for heavy 16's and shitty tires and I hadn't figured out the trac control method then. I'm really curious to see how much time (if any) I have shaved with the tire/wheel, suspension and engine mods and the ability to turn off the trac control.

[sheekeebut]

You can turn off traction control?

[sheekeebut]

Oh, and yeah, if you're going Cayuga, just tell me when. I've been looking to get on the track, just needed some company.

[aspro]

Oh, and yeah, if you're going Cayuga, just tell me when. I've been looking to get on the track, just needed some company.

Oh yeah, there is. Link on it in this forum. It's a sequence of pedal and handbrake up downs that you do and it disables it. Well it works on my 11 hatch. Not sure if it works on the sedans. I'll post the link and you can try it.

At the kk meet we will discuss the track day with the other attendees and hopefully we can gather enough interest from every one.

[aspro]

Here's the link for the trac control disable.

[sheekeebut]

Do all 2nd gens have VSC and TRAC equipped?

[aspro]

Do all 2nd gens have VSC and TRAC equipped?

Im not sure. I don't know much about the sedans. Just give it a try on yours and see if it works. You will see the skid and trac light come on the dash if it works. It doesn't disable abs though. Which I'm sure is a good thing for most people.

[sheekeebut]

I'll keep my ABS, thanks. But the EBD would also be a nice feature to lock to a specific ratio, if possible for such a system.

[aspro]

Is yours auto?

[sheekeebut]

07 manual sedan, power everything for that year. I'm sure it has ABS, but I see nothing on the cluster regarding VSC or TRAC

[sheekeebut]

Yes, much discussion to be had, because this I am highly interested in.

Sweet. Hopefully we can garner enough interest and make this a regular thing for next year as well. Well, if this community isn't extinct by then.

[WeeYari]

Only Sunday Oct. 26th will be left.

[sheekeebut]

That's alright, I wouldn't mind going to the track with even just 2 fellow enthusiasts. The more the merrier, of course.

[aspro]

That should work for me. Anyone else down?

[WeeYari]

That should work for me. Anyone else down?

Not allowed to. She can be mean, but makes up for it in many other ways :smile:

[sheekeebut]

.. You're talking about.. your Yaris?

[WeeYari]

Yaris has been known to be my mistress. I'm talking about the other one.

[sheekeebut]

I hope you don't drive the other one hard around Cayuga.

[aspro]

Yaris has been known to be my mistress. I'm talking about the other one.

I sure hope she knows how to drive stick. :clap:

I sure hope we don't get rained out again, boys. Dress warm, its gonna be a cold and wet night!

Aside from freak tsunami, or tornadoes (more than one), I'll be there. BRING IT!

Forecast looks good.
