Is this a racial comment Pavel? I sure think it is, may have to give you a warning for that one

[Pavel Olavich]

Black Yaris...NO it is an OLD saying...a Turk is any young man full of vitality, optimism, and is ready to go, go, go....nothing racial about that term...I too was a young Turk once...now I'm an old fart :-( lol

[sherryberry]

150K?!?!?! holy crap... after driving for a total of 6 years, I still haven't achieved that much... it was around 35k or so when i traded in my first car and then 68k when i traded in my maxima for my yaris and that car had started with at least 35k as well.

So 150k in one year?? that's INSANE

[jdium]

150K huh? Your life sucks...

[punch]

did anyone ever think there might be 2 drivers?? morning shift, afternoon, night shift...

also this guy is a computer tech, and has another business on the go...

I have a freind who delivers auto parts to garages, its a contract and he owns his car, he's driving a PT cruiser atleast 400km/day

I just read this tread and I'm glad you didn't mean to insult us.
BTW, where are you originally from? Russia?

'Trini' is a slang for someone from Trinidad. So he could originate from the Caribbean Islands. Is there Turk's in the Caribbean?

(too bad these 1 post wonders aren't around to answer for themselves)

The only thing that I have done to it maintenance wise, is 30 oil changes and spark plugs after 100,000 miles. I still haven't changed my accessory belt. Does anyone suggest that I change it? I get about 40mpg - 50mpg @ 50mph - 70mph. I only started modifying the engine after 140,000 miles. Mods include: Weapon R Secret Intake with a steel mesh filter instead of the Weapon R foam filter, Megan Headers, Dynomax Super Turbo Exhaust (kept the stock look), NST Crank Pulley, TRD Sway Bar, Tanabe Springs and Strut Brace, F1 Lights 16" Racing Wheels, 8000k HID's in the headlights and fog lights, Bellon Voltage Stabalizer, 2.5" Spinning Tornado, and Greddy Speed Cut Defencer. I must say, I think my yaris runs way better than the average yaris out there. For example on the highway I can keep up with an 07' Civic Si from 70mph to 110mph and after that, the Civic Si pulls away. That's 106hp vs 192hp. Not bad! I have yet to take my car to the 1/4 mile or 1/8 mile track. But most people that have driven in my car or seen my car run on the road, thinks it about a mid 15's car on the 1/4 mile. I'm open to suggestions and/or opinions.

Ok, hmmmmm...only maintenance were plugs and oil changes. Check. I see he upgraded wheels but never mentioned tires....that should be about 4 sets by now....even more with the 110mph's he was braggin' about.

Has a list of mods that makes his car better than the average Yaris out there. Mods cancel out average.

Not a huge 1/4 mile guy but with that list of mods are mid 15s where he should be?



maybe we'll never know. The invite has been given to him,her, it to show us.

The TURK

Bulgaria. Eastern Block. Ex Soviet Bloc Country. Communists. KGB. Hammer & Sickle type shit. Now I'm capitalist. Life is better here in the west.

As to the term "turk" read #1 and #7 definition at this site: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=turk

I suggest taking it to the dragstrip to show those people they are not quite the human stopwatches they think they are.

....

Unless he's rural mail delivery---which a Yaris isn't suitable.

oh yea. My '91 geo storm had 268,000 with the original clutch. I retired it when the linkage that made the clutch operate failed in '05. The clutch itself was just fine.

There's a movie, slightly old called Turk 182. I don't recall seeing even one Turkish guy in that movie. It was just a dude doing crazy stuff.

[tiksman]

Maybe I could register another screen name and say I put a 200 shot of nos on my 150 million mile Yaris and it went 260 mph. Man they have not been back since the bs post.

he says, he began to mod his car at about 140,000 about 10,000 miles ago.
the mileage he talks about can be achieved nowadays, but a simple pic of the Odometer would help

I have had my yaris since 7/06 and i have 37,000 on it.

[trini_per4mance]

Hey guys,
I really enjoyed reading your comments on my 150k in 1yr. I will post a video clip of the odometer while driving as it was going from 149999 to 150000 for those of you non believers probably later tonight. I have pics of when it did 100k miles and I have pics and a video clip of it doing 150k miles. Yes, it is possible to do this amount of mileage in 1yr. I live in Florida. I use to drive from Miami to Tampa and back 5 nights a week for about 9 months. The drive was 7hrs to and from. An average of 550miles/nightly. Plus I drove the car during the day running around in the daytime b4 I go to Tampa at night. So figure and average of 600miles/daily. Now I drive from Fort Lauderdale to Jupiter twice a day and then from Fort Lauderdale to Naples in the evening. That's an average of 550/daily. I drive from 9am - 11pm Monday - Saturday. I do a lot of highway driving. I still have the original clutch and accessory belt on the car. The brake pads and rotors are like brand new and still has not even begun to cut as yet. I have gone through 3 sets of tires and are now on my 4th set. I got 75000miles from a set of Kumho. I rotate my tires every oil change, which is every 2 weeks. I buy my Toyota Oil Filters, Syntethic Oil and Oil Stabilizer wholesale. I use 3qts of 5W-30 syntethic oil and 1qt of oil stabilizer every oil change. The only thing that I have ever changed on the car is the spark plugs at 100k miles. I already spoke to Toyota Corp of America, and I'm awaiting a response from them as to what they can do for me. One thing I forgot to mention, the first day I got the car from the Toyota dealership, I went home, got ready for work and headed straight to Tampa. I put 600miles on the car in the first night. I drove the car @ 80mph fom 7hr straight without turning off the engine until I got back home. If anyone of you guys drive my Yaris, you will definitely say positive things about it after driving it. My yaris runs like no other Yaris I have ever come across.

So what is it you do that requires so much driving then?
