I kind of regret not doing the oil-catch-can mod when I first read about it back in '07.....

Still here. Economy limits my mods and the way she sits now I'm happy. Into the appearance aspect so I spend alot of time doing the "wax on wax off" thing with different products.

im still parting out, but im not leaving
i still intend to keep the yaris long enough for it to be my track weapon. its just going to switch hands for a bit so my wife can use it as a DD. just selling the supercharger to get the car back to its economic roots (and taking off the exhaust since my wife finds it loud, haha)

best thing I got out of yaris forums was cruise control hack, and tpms hack. without yarforums I'd still be sucking my thumb
try to find this type of info on any other forum for any other subcompact... I do have some 4runner hacks from yotatech |

depends how you define decline... I've been here since close to the beginning of the site, when it was still a small, tight-knit community... Which then grew larger and attracted people from different walks of life, I was moderator for quite a while too, and let me tell you, YarisWorld has matured a lot over the years. There's definitely still a lot of room for improvement, but to call it a decline is to not look at the bigger picture!

OP I can definitely see why you're aggravated. Like me, you seem to really wanna see this car pushed to its limits, but there's very few people doing it. Just look at how damn stagnant the FI section is lately. Honestly, that, performance, and FS is all I really look at on this site anymore. To avoid coming off as a hypocrite - I would love to continue pushing my car but finances and my new project make it difficult. Unfortunately, the fact of the matter is that at the end of the day this is an economy car. It'll never have an aftermarket and a lot of crazy builds like say, Scions do.
I also was hoping the FI scene for this car would take off once I proved the Zage kit would work. It's been over a year and less than 10 people have followed suite. |

I feel where you're coming from jekqmb. I owned a Honda CRX right before my yaris. The community and information available for it was awesome. Don't get me wrong, the stuff here is great too, but it's not as active.

Not all of us are into modding . We bought YARIS , past and present because of the low price , the looks of both models , and the gas mileage . This site is very informative for D.I.Y. , problems you may encounter , etc.. Some have left this site due to being attacked on certain topics , which is a shame . We plan to stick around for as long as we own the YARIS and share our experiences with it , good or bad .

I've had my yaris for 5 years and am just now starting to do some minor mods. I don't plan on going all out, but I definitely love reading about what others have done/are doing. I've learned nearly everything i know about car mechanics from this forum (is that a little scary, or what?).
I too think that, like with civics, once they've been around a little longer, more people will pick them up cheap and mod the %$#@ out of them. In addition, as the car matures, more people will start seeking out maintenance advice. I think it'll only get more busy. And if the apocalypse does happen, there's enough in the archives to keep me occupied for years |

Seeing your Zage downpipe bust in two at the weld and cali-yaris' manafold crack at the welds as well has kinda put a damper on my enthusiasm for that kit, heh...

@ OP - Yes, this place has gone downhill....but in the past it has also gone uphill. It's just the economy and priorities have shifted for some people.
Some people mod the exterior only, interior only, others mod the engine entirely...it varies. Just because people are not posting their crazy mods...doesnt mean people aren't doing the crazies.... ;) Here's a sneak peek...... And even though barber is parting out......remember that he STILL owns the Yaris. Once thing stabalize, he will spring back up and go for crazy modding once more. @enviri - i agree......its like how in Japan people mod small boxy Suzuki/Daihatsu, VIP vans and whatnot.....not because the car is slow or anything, but just for the fun of it. We only live once, so we should make the most of it~ I stick around here, mainly due to NCVC being born on here. I go on MicroImage forums too, when heavy modding is being done, like right now. |

Well I appologize to everyone about the post being kind of mean! I think most people feel in some way that the forums do need help in one way or another which is good cause we still have a lot of members who care!
