[jimmykwlo]

Hi, is that you I said Hi to this aftrnoon around southcenter mall? I was driving my 2011 5 doors white yaris sport. If that is you, I have to tell you, you have a very nice car.

Yeah bro you were in the white one.....sorry I was so short in traffic.....my exhaust has just broke....I am sure you heard it.....lol I was trying to get back to Tacoma to call my guys shop to get it fixed.....

Gota get together.....there are a lot os Scion Meets going on and any Yaris are always welcome...we got a Pizza run for some of the best pizza and lots of good people and then we also got a Mt St Helens run....should be about 60+ cars....you gotta go....pot luck....other yaris owners....mostly scions,that is where I came from I had a nice tC till my divorce....lol

Thanks also for the compliment....it has been a long build....lots of Ramen and Mac and Cheese .....4 weeks till airride....been saving for a year for it....I can't wait.

When is the mt st helens cruise? I'd be more than happy to take the gnar-gnar! Did that last summer with a bunch of rotaries, it was fun. my first gen rx7 can keep up with second gens and RX8's, lol.

Yep looks like the date is set to June 9th....the potluck is at Secrest at the bottom of the mountain after the drive up.

We usually have at least 4-6 Yari there....

[mr_miles]

oh cool, I'll be there :)

Well the next things to go in once the sun decides to come out and warm up to at least 50 degrees out is the '12 STI front bumper vents and a 22" wide 16 gauge 4 fin aluminum rear diffuser.

Gonna have to modify the diffuser to fit because the flowmaster is gonna be in the way.

I did end up going with a nice Boso pipe and to be honest it sounds like a moose mating call at high RPMs....I knew it would but I can fix it with some decent resonators in the midpipe.

Pictures this weekend of the car once it gets a bath.

Trying to get the money straight for Airride but my mom got really sick with kidney failure and everything has been put on hold for a bit.

[CtrlAltDefeat]

sorry to hear about your mom... hope she is ok.

[bzinn 1]

Thanks man....

She worries me,she has been pretty sick my whole life but it gets worse as she gets older and you only get one mom....

she went back to work today just so she can pay her bills.....sad that a person cant even get a bit of time off to try to get better.

STill gonna have to have surgury to remove the kidney and then dialisis will of course begin.

Hoping she can retire here by summer and just enjoy life a little.

Got some pictures of the STI bumper vents install today....was sunny and warm.

[ilikerice]

I like this idea alot.. I was gonna say "Should they be the other away around?". I searched before I typed, but you are correct. Thats the way the STI's have them. *shrugs*

I think I would be doing this also with my yaris and flip them, this is a good way to make a duct for cooling off brake rotors or for CAI.

Looks awesome.. I likes

[TOUGEghost]

Car looks good. I like the way the boso pipe came out.

[bzinn 1]

I still have to pull the bumper and do some back cutting on the passenger one to get the bottom a bit more flush and round up some washers that will fit the rivits and redo them so it has a better solid anchor on the back.

I would not recomend this type of mod to anyone if your not sure about your ability's.....they are big holes and it took like 3 hours to get them both aligned together.

Also with the lip kit,the canards and the vents now the front end is pretty busy when you look at it head on but it all in all came out fairly good.

My rear diffuser came in the mail tonight but I got home too late and the apt manager where the post man left it was already gone for the day.If the good weather holds I will begin the install on it on Saturday.

[bzinn 1]

My first rolling shot.......never got to see the car on the highway before.....now I understand why people stare....

Pictures Saturday of the Rear Diffuser install.....I have to trim the thing down on one side a couple of inches to fit around the Flowmaster.

[bzinn 1]

Couple of pictures of the rear diffuser.....took me about 4 hours total labor and 7 beers....had I slowed on the beers probably would of taken 2 hours lol







Made out of 16 gauge aluminum and then powdercoated

The bozuko (or w/e) pipe is stupid. The rest i like

[Spidermandud]

Driven it with the diffuser on/ notice any difference?
