We need a meet, or some sort of charity event!

[anonymous user]

You guys up for some charity events? I know my other car club does several per year. T4T is coming up (toys for tots- put on by the marine corps). We also do Aloha United way which was a few months ago.
It depends how many people we can get to go out i guess. It'd look pretty shame if only 3-4 cars showed up.
LMK what you fellas think.

[PETERPOOP]

What is envolved for a charity event? We show up to these events and just hang out? Dude I think there are only 3 or 4 of us on here..

I would want to wait till i have my coilovers/exhaust on. Should be putting it on this weekend if it comes in this week. it's going through customs in honolulu right now since last wednesday.. grr.

I mean, are any of your guy's yaris's "supped up"? We might look like a pack of grandmas driving around

[gwasabi]

lol I got exhaust and gold stock hubcaps if that is SUPPED up lol

[PETERPOOP]

haha oh my. are you planning on doing anything else!? drop? tint? etc...!!

[anonymous user]

Yeah, i have some good tires, RSB, shifter cage bushings, and Blitz intake. I had a whole sh!t-ton of stuff on order, but the vendor seems to be ripping me off. I cancelled my order, and may be done modding my yaris. Oh yeah, i have gorilla lugnuts too...oh my! :)

I don't think we need to have modded yaris's come out, it'd be good to meet people who just love their cars. This is after all just an econobox.

[PETERPOOP]

This is after all just an econobox.

I will not accept this reality. You must continue to mod your yaris! Atleast rims and a drop!?!??! COME ON! AND EXHAUST!

[PaidTimeOff]

Thanks for the heads up peter. I didn't even notice that the admin finally gave us our own spot! But I'm down for a cruise or something. Got a few mods on my Yaris, but I've been trying to keep it pretty low key. Don't wanna get pulled over by cops so much. Only things I have that are visible from the outside are my drop, tint, and exhaust.

[PETERPOOP]

What kinda rims you lookin at getting? Everything you got is considered "illegal"! haha, besides the tint. Well depends on what percent you got! ;)

But seriously. Rims are legal now in hawaii, so you gotta get a set! You were the guy that wanted to do a engine swap right?

ps. where do you live/drive around that cops would hassle you? I live in haleiwa and the furthest i ever go with my car is pearlcity. but my car isn't modded all the way yet, so cops haven't even blinked at me.

[PaidTimeOff]

Haha, no engine swap for me. WAY too rich for my blood. I'm dropped on Tanabe DF210s but they don't tuck the tires so I think I'm good as far as cops go on that. I'll probably even be able to pass safety check without worrying about recon. And I had an exhaust on my last car and never got pulled over for it, but it's not like the cops are gonna be pulling over a crappy looking saturn that's bone stock except for the exhaust anyhow lol.

I was thinking about rims, but that probably won't be for a looooong time. I think I'm gonna focus on paying off the car before investing in rims. I'm ok with the factory alloys for now considering that rims don't really do much for you performance-wise with the exception of maybe weight reduction.

I live in Pearl City but head out to town quite a bit to visit the gf at UH, so I can't be riding down the waikiki strip with a suped up car. May as well just bend over and pull my pants down in front of the police station lol.

[PETERPOOP]

True about the rookie cops in waikiki. That is pretty lame. I might be having to make the trip all the way to the zoo pretty soon to visit a "friend" that will be moving there. Not too excited about that.

But I seriously wouldn't think you have to worry about having an exhaust for your yaris. Besides waikiki, there aren't many other places that are anal about it. Especially if you got a legit exhaust for your car. Most of the yaris axlebacks are really deep and low. Not ricey at all.

How old are you if you don't mind me asking?

[PaidTimeOff]

I'm 26, you?

Yah I guess you're right about the only real anal cops being in waikiki, but I kind of like keeping my car a bit low key in general because I don't want car thieves looking too closely at my car anyways. Not that they would steal the car, but my tint is dark enough that they might be inclined to pop my locks and take a look inside.

I'm still pretty shocked at the deep low tone of the exhausts available on the Yaris. Who knew that a 1.5l motor could make such a sweet sound?

[PETERPOOP]

i'm 23. Dude. I just put on my blitz exhaust. talk about lowwwwwww...... i'm about to take it for a spin and make some clips/pics. I'll post them on my exhaust thread!

[gwasabi]

I drive around waikiki every night with 18% tint all around and windsheild tinted and I didnt get pulled over once. The greddy TiC I have is SUPER loud and it doesn't attract cops either lol not only that I got stickers all over the front of my car hahaha

[PETERPOOP]

Dude you are ASKING FOR IT! haha. post pics of your guys cars! Come on oahu guys! I need to know who to look out for to give the shakka!

Thanks, I'll get more recent pics up next time I wash my car. Still gotta make my yw garage.

[PETERPOOP]

ouch! rear ended. lame. your car looks nice and clean. just throw some wheels on it! ;) If you ever want to sell the lip kit, i'm your man. :)

[PETERPOOP]

Well i got my coilovers on. So look for me on the road! SSRs, dropped, blacked out rear toyota emblem, netz badge, tint, jdm replica tail lights, exhaust, and white liftback!

I'm also on the list for richard's intake manifold. we finally got ten people so he is going to start making them!

Oh maaan that thing needs to be modded ASAP. I can't believe you haven't gotten drop springs for that thing yet from caliyaris. They aren't even expensive! You can't be rocking the gold hubcaps and not even have a drop! ;)

ps. You going to debadge that thing?


and wash that thing! geez

[cali yaris]

when's the meet? I'm coming. LOL

[PETERPOOP]

what the heck! infiltration! oh man, that'd be the day if you moved here! maybe if the business picks up even more...one day... ;)

[battleversiontc]

or visit along with some presents lol to help us distanced peepo with stuff since shipping is normally expensive on things to bring in

[gwasabi]

shit I'm getting some rare shit for my coilovers hehehehehe SHHHH its secret so I cannot tell but I can tell you its JDM hahaha

[PaidTimeOff]

when's the meet? I'm coming. LOL

Hope you're bringing your turbo lb Garm. Did you get that James Bond submarine mod on it yet? Should be easy for you to jump in the pacific ocean and we'll meet you when you surface on the beach! That seems to be the only mod you don't have :laugh:

[gwasabi]

I'm gonna try to get parts noone else has hehehehe I like to do things like that and always keep my up and coming a secret. Once I get it i'l let you know though hahaha

[PaidTimeOff]

Man we seriously need to get more Hawaii Yaris modders on here...

[PETERPOOP]

YES we do.

gwasabi: what is this with coilovers and jdmness!? I got jdm coilovers! You better not be having JDM too! haha. there can only be one JDM'd yaris on oahu. ;) J/J. THe more the better. Then we can have a meet with some nice cars!!

battleversiontc: you should order stuff from garm. He's great on shipping. He charged me 100$ for shipping for the rims to oahu

[battleversiontc]

ive actually been ording stuff off him im waiting for him to get back to me on the sedan spoiler he has listed and the grill with shipping but damn thats good shippin for the rims how long that took

[PETERPOOP]

He took it to the post office on a wednesday and it came to my door on saturday!

He's a great guy. He quoted me 100$ for shipping but then it came out to like 120$, but he bit off the 20$ for me. He also bit off 10$ shipping for the JDM Replica tail lights that i ordered from him too!

ps. why isn't your yaris in your yarisworld garage?

[battleversiontc]

haha cause the thing aint dropped yet and im kinda up in the air about what i want on it so the choices i have are coilovers or bags kinda leaning towards bags just because she will take the front bumper off she already did it to my tc and punctured a hole in my intercooler so yeah kinda up in the air but i will post pics once i drop the thing i gotta follow your way cause you did the same thing lol ill prolly throw old pics up just to show face

[PETERPOOP]

i can't believe your girl drives these high performance cars of yours! I won't even let girls try and learn stick in my yaris!

[battleversiontc]

well the only time she does drive it is when i need gas or she gets bored of her yaris since theres a major hp difference but she loves it. i just wonder the guys she race what they tell there friends when they get spanked by a girl in my tc lol o and my crx is being sold tomorrow with a stock b18 to some guy in hawaii kai so ive been working on putting my motor in all day into this which hatch i finished but it didnt fire up so i gotta check the electrical tomorrow afternoon so i can bring it out to cruises and stuff that choke people going be at not just the little cruises.

[PETERPOOP]

so any of you guys going to check out the autocross events coming this month?

[battleversiontc]

ohhh autocross damn my tc not going to be together by then sucks maybe ill show up with my hatch since its tuned for time attack instead of drag since i sold my crx my b18 i took outta that found a new home in my hatch hopefully will be driving it around this weekend if i can fix the tune

[PETERPOOP]

let me know if you end up going. we'll meet up over there or something.

[Latka]

I think the Yaris would do quite well in H Stock. I'm sure with the right suspension it'd do well in a prepared class too. Down a little bit on power compared to Francis' STi powered Subaru and Jayson G's Z06 Vette though. :)

Can't wait to get my Yaris (Hatchback). Gotta sell my Mini first though. That's me with the RedBull gals who stopped by in a new MINI to a Hawaii Mini Club event we had a while back. I love my Minis, but I can't afford 'em right now... so, Yaris for work / fun it is.

[battleversiontc]

let me know if you end up going. we'll meet up over there or something.

when is it what time is at im definetly down if i can get my hatch running right and stable to drive daily on the 755 hp motor and take it out of race mode to cruise mode so i can daily drive this thing since my tc motor aint together motor wise yet

hey man. nice mini. you drive that thing on ford island? I swear I see a car just like that sometimes on base over there.

What kinda hatchback you getting? Color? package? an S model?

hey man, i'mnot exactly sure. I know one of the guys on this forum from hawaii is going to be there at the second event held this month. I was actually planning on going to that one. Maybe that'll give you enough time to get your car ready? I think that one is on the 12th, but i'm not sure...

[Latka]

I haven't driven my Mini for a while. It used to be owned by an Air Force dude over on Hickam, so it's likely that you've seen it. (Been fixing the factory A/C and all that)

As for the Yaris - I'm (well, "we") are lookin' at an '09 2 door hatchback. Manual transmission in either yellow, the non-metallic red, or white. She wants the more maroon red, so I might end up with that. I'd like an S, but I don't think the '09 comes in that trim level with a manual transmission - at least I haven't been able to configure it online that way. I'm gettin pretty stoked about it though. Being a "mini" guy for a while now I really like small cars. Being 6'6" I'm just stoked I fit in a Yaris! :)

(gripe) I really don't like that Toyota of Hawaii has to be different than the Toyota USA website. I want to play around with configurations, not sit there and be force fed only what Servco wants me to see.

hey man, yah i am pretty sure the 5 door S doesn't come in manual transmission. But you can get the 3 door S with a manual. I suggest you get that if you have the extra cash and want the lip kit. I wish my car had the OEM lip kit that the S comes with. I just personally think the rear lip of that kit looks horrible. I would take that off and leave the side skirts and front lip.

You can also go down to to the dealer and special order a car. I did that with my truck. But you might have to wait awhile for it to come. I was lucky however that the car i bought was coming in the next month that i was there. i got a white LB manual, base model. didn't even come with a radio. it's great! cheap. 12,500k out the door! comes with A/C though. you don't have that option to not get it. the yellow i warn you doesn't look AT ALL like the yellow on the website. it's a DULL yellow, like something used for a boring yellow pages company vehicle.

alright well let me know if you find out for sure.

yah man. i am pretty sure that guy is going to the 2nd one this month, so i'll probably check that one out. then it'll give you more time to work on your hatch and bring that thing!

[Latka]

The 2 door hatchback is the one we were lookin at, so it sounds like I'll be ok. As for the yellow - I'll have to check it out in person before we get one. I want "bam bam" yellow, not like you said - boring company vehicle color. Might have to go bright red then in that case.

We're not against the idea of going to the west coast to avoid the typically high Servco prices if we have to, but I would prefer to get it here on O'ahu.

Hopefully soon. I'm pretty stoked to check out the car again and get one.

[PETERPOOP]

Man, idk. it didn't seem high at all when i bought mine (july). I went to the servco in mapunapuna. You can try talk to the sales person I go to. I bought two new cars from him. his name is Jon Kim. He's a GREAT guy and honest. none of this typical car sales man guy stuff. if you told him i told you guys to see him, he would take care of you! for sure. but yah.. let me find a picture of that yellow for you.

http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=10326&stc=1&d=1225390559

[Latka]

Thank you for puttin the photo up. That reminds me a *lot* of the yellow that was on our 2002 MINI Cooper S. Thumbs up! Now all it needs are some black "fork" style wheels (like the BBS wide fork design but without being $59,000 per whel), a little drop - and it's set :) Oh yeah - window tint too.

[PETERPOOP]

Well I am glad you like the yellow! Someone showed a picture of it actually with some photoshopped black rims or something. I think it looks the best with black rims. A "little" drop!? How little we talking. You going to drop with with drop springs, coilovers, springs + new shocks?

[Latka]

Probably the Megan springs and some uprated struts. I might as well go coilovers, but I just don't want to drop a ton of cash on it at the moment. I might go with the TRD springs if I can find a decent deal on 'em. I figure TRD = $$$ compared to some of the other stuff out there - I want to check spring rates too before I do it. It's not going to be hammered, that's for sure. It'll be my daily driver, so it has to have some sort of compliance to the ride! :)

Talked to the Servco guys at Kaneohe today. They've got a few base model 2 door hatchbacks in stock and ONE 2 door "S" on the way. Yes - it is possible to get the 2 door HB with the 5MT (yay). I might have to special order my car if we want Yellow Jolt - the "S" that's on the way is white. Acceptable, but not what we really want. We'll have to see how the mini sale shapes up here in the coming weeks.

[PETERPOOP]

Hey man, yah you can get the base model 2 door HB with manual 5spd. that's what i got. i also got cusco coilovers. they are great. the ride is definately stiffer, but that's a given. I got them for a great deal from japan because my friend's uncle is a mechanic that lives there. I got some JDM coilovers! heck yah..

but yah, the trd route would cost you an arm and a leg i would think from the dealer. have you been on "Micro Image" 's website yet? That's Cali Yaris's store. he sells some springs on there. They are cheap. You should check it out!

[anonymous user]

I haven't run SCCA in a while, but I know most of the main offenders out there. :) I'm working Friday - Monday (usually 6 or 8 hours Sat / Sun), so I won't be able to get my orange cone slaying on for a while - probably until I finish school. I won't have a stock Yaris though that's for sure!

Talked with the S/O about it again tonight and I think we're going to go base model 5MT. I just can't justify $4k in price - I don't see 4k worth of extra stuff on the car. No worries though. It'll be fun. I'm pretty stoked. :)

[PETERPOOP]

Nice! Base model is where it's at. So you won't have a radio either? There are different kinds of base model.One comes with a radio, and one doesn't. Mine didn't! So roll up windows? Manual locking doors? No rear windshield?

[anonymous user]

Latka,
If i could help you decide i'll try. I bought my car from a previous owner who loved the car for about a year until he had to move to new york. He lived waikele, so it had kinda plenty miles on it. But all the options i wanted were on it. Manual doors, windows, and A.C. I think it's called the convenience
package since it has the i-pod(aux) jack. Now that i'm thinking about it, i should've got the S model for the body kit. But other than that, this car is my daily so i can drive it places and park it places i don't wanna take my wrx to.
How's school working out?

Yah I wish i got the S for the lip kit, but I hate the rear lip on it. I'd take that off.

School went well. Got through another semester. I'm *finally* back up to UH Manoa next semester, so it'll be nice to finally take the business classes I've wanted to for so damn long!

Hopefully going to get the Mini done soon. Now that I'm not in school though I've been working a ton - hopefully a few days off coming up soon so I can do the car thing.

I'd like the 2 door Hatchback "S", but I really can't justify $2,000 or thereabouts for what amounts to a body kit and...I think a tachometer. We'll have to see how bad Toyota is hurting when we show up with cash in hand. :)

You're asking for it. I have seen a cop make a kid rip out his tint then give a ticket.
