Hey Lazerdot, are your spring stiffeners loose in your spring or are they pretty snug. The reason I'm asking is because I bought some last night and installed them today at work and when I let my car down the stiffeners were still pretty loose. Maybe my coils have more space between them. Any thoughts on this?

Actually mine fit pretty tight. In fact, even when unloaded on the jack stand they were hard to spool around the lower coil. I'll try and get a height on the tommorow for you. These were bought by YarStar for his front coil overs. They seem to fit very well in the back.

I'll be heading to Houston early on Sunday morning. We could all meet on 45 somewhere prior to the event and drive in as a group.

Regarding the trip to Houston on Sunday, May 24th, for the NST event:

Quote:
If you'd be interested in meeting Sunday morning before the trip, there's a bunch of gas stations and fast food joints at 45 and Palestine Rd in Hutchins, Tx.

The address of the McDonalds is 108 N I-45, Hutchins, Tx, 75141.
Changed!! It was requested that the premeet be moved to the I-45 & 287 area so that it's more convenient for people coming from Ft. Worth. That's a good idea. That puts the pre-trip meet in Ennis and I've suggested through PMs that we meet at I-45 and Ennis Ave/287S/34 where there's a bunch of gas stations and fast-food places.

Let me know if you're interested in meeting here Sunday morning so that we can all drive down together.

Thanks,

S.R.

Hi Chongo,

Nice to see you on the forums. I'm not sure who's doing the Texas Yaris Club website but it hasn't been working for a while now.

You're more than welcome to watch for threads with "DFW Yaris Yak" in the title because we try to keep regular postings here and we do go down to Houston frequently.

I know LRR goes down to Houston almost every month when NST puts on a practice or demo day and I went down for the demo in May with LilRedRocket and Lazerdot and the practice last weekend.

S.R.

Hey, SA is represented on here!

Actually, last night I saw a nice red hatchback with mag wheels on it out where I live. I think the guy works on Lackland AFB as well, as I saw it a week or two ago going out of our parking lot. I was in the Jeep, but I know roughly which neighborhood he lives in and plan to swing by one of these days in my Yaris to drop a YarisWorld card on him (if I don't catch him at work).

There is another black hatch with mags on it in my neighborhood (I live outside of 1604 near Helotes) and I see a similar car parked at a convenience store just north of 410 on Bandera Road all the time (I think they work there).

There aren't a lot of Yarii running around but some, I see another black one with mags on it all the time along 1604 between New Guilbeau and Braun (so they must live in the area as well). It'd be nice if we could all meet up someplace after the new year!

Cheers! M2

We gotta get the small SA Yaris contingent here together for a meet soon!

You'll probably see me one of these days as that are the areas I frequent. I live up near Helotes and work on Lackland, 1604 to 151 to 410 to 90 is my usual commute, and I am always running around in my Yaris up on the NW side of town!

You'll know it's me when you see me, I always wave at other Yaris hatches (I am a hatch snob! ) and have actually tracked a few down. I was at the Academy at 1604 and 281 a few weeks ago and struck up a conversation with a woman and her son about their Yaris hatch (I had my Jeep). A few days later a guy I work with asked me if I was doing some Yaris yapping over the weekend, which confused me at first until he told me it was his wife and son! They told him about some guy in a Jeep talking about his black hatch, and he figured their couldn't be two people in San Antonio matching that description. I didn't realize it was his Yaris as she just had it cleaned and detailed (he doesn't keep his as nice as I do mine!).

It's a small Yaris world!

Cheers! M2

Wow, yeah i haven't seen many and the ones i have seen are always driving & it seems like i'm always actually NEEDING to be somewhere when i see one. I try to wave but not many have waved back lol. :( I'm constantly right by ingram mall & surrounding area so.. perhaps we'll meet up eventually.
