Anything going on in Portland

Looking for any clubs or car groups with a few yaris mods, I used to show a Scion TC with my son, did massive mods on that car. Went down to Miami last winter on toyota's dime to see the new XB and XD. Looking forward to modding the Yaris. What do you think of Lambo Doors on the hatchback.

Lambo doors have been done and they actually look pretty cool. It would be perfect for a show setup.

You must be one bad ass Dad!

Actually, I just rattled off a quick search for lambo doors and found a picture.

Looks like that's going to be one the mods for sure, also get it lowered and new rims and rubber. Then start on the motor.

Oh yeah... one cool dad....

You'd be able to see the old tC at http://www.scionlife.com/?wedrivescions

The tC was amazing... but I'm playing with oldschool fun, rather than the new Imports...

Here's my current monster!






Whatever color Yaris my dad ends up with, I'm sure we'll bring some of the tC knowledge into the Yaris world...

We Know NST in and out, Zex Nitrous, Apexi Equipment, Vertical Doors, and all that fun.... I don't think He'll throw an Autopower bar in the Yaris... but that'd be interesting... Just have to wait for the right color and options to come in...

A bunch of us Portlanders should get together for a drink or something one of these days!

WDS = WeDriveScions = My Former Handle on Scionlife = 5000+ Posts, former Supermod of SL, a some really good tech articles on installs and such...

(Especially the tC NST Pulley install and NST Shifter Bushing Install, amongst others)

I used to Mod like CRAZY, but am now retired from the hard-core show mods and such... Just like a clean and sharp car, nothing crazy anymore... The tC my dad and I built was a great show car, but the new XB2 is going to be just "Nice"

The New Yaris... well... that's already got cool mods on the way. I'll let my dad talk about those as he gets them completed.

Hey, I think I may have met you before last year at the Scion Warehouse Jam? Did you have the black ZPI turbo tC?
