Hello. I am not a "New" member, but I am new according to the hack thing. So, my name is Eric, I go by eric81, I have a 2008 Yaris 3dr LB, blue, 5 gear MT, 1.5L engine, and I live in Olympia, WA. I am happily married, I have two wonderful young kids, I am in the National Guard, I work for DirecTV, and I like cars and video games. I have done a lot to my car: CAI, Megan Header, 3A Racing muffler, SunPro Super Tach II, NST SSK, NST Shifter Cable Bushings, Silver Star headlights, AG 2" Lowering Springs (DF240's), and some other stuff I can't remember at the moment. I am waiting for a nice day to take new pics, so it may be awhile. I am here to help others, and need help myself from time to time. Any Q's, just ask. Drive On!

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum but not new to Yaris...been driving one for a few years now (I have the sedan). I saw that recently a Yaris (albeit a diesel, manual transmission one I think) achieved 80MPG in a mileage tournament of some kind. They probably had a great driver to thank for that, but it also confirms my suspicions that the Yaris is just about the best B-class car around.

Unfortunately, though, I don't know much about cars, which is why I'm here.

^ you knew enough to make the the right choice in style and value.....good enough inmy book, lol. Welcome

Hi, I'm Shanti. I got my Polar White '07 Yaris Sedan S (a.k.a Casper) back in September. It's an automatic and that's basically all I can tell you, I'm not really a car person lol...I actually found this site by googling "Yaris Paintjobs" for inspiration and what not. So hopefully if I lurk i'll learn something about my car. =)

Hi there! I just registered the forum. Im 24 years old, from the netherlands and own since oktober 2008 a yaris tsport 2001 model. I bought it as a replacement for my Toyota Corolla AE86 Levin coupe '85. Im planning to restore the corolla this coming year. So for now i drive the yaris and i like it. Fun-factor is less than the corolla (no RWD), but well there are also a lot of good points. Its quite comfy, its also pretty fast and its economy! I think ill keep this car for a long time ;)

KCALB SIRAY · 11-24-2008, 07:56 PM

welcome DJ

eric81 · 11-25-2008, 01:55 AM

If you replace a few key parts on the Yaris, the fun factor can go WAY up. Start with the NST pulley kit, then do the CAI, followed b the header and muffler (get a straight pipe style one, maybe a madallion?) and then lower it, put some sticky tires and deacent rims o it, and see what you think. $2,000 tops if you do all the work yourself, and you will have a BLAST in this car. I love taunting real racer type cars into burning tires with a car that has less than 125 HP at the tires. Then when I do race thm, and they hear my engine over theirs (it's a loud car after that stock muffler and header come off) it really pisses them off. The highlight of my day usually. One guy even commented on my car once, saying it's LOUD, and he really likes it. He even asked me for advice, and I felt bad because I didn't quite know what to tell him. I didn't bore out or delete the resonators or cat's... and I didn't do anything too serious to the exhaust or intake. Just a CAI, header, and muffler. Just try some stuf and see what you think.

Hi everybody, here is my 2009 S 3dr LB...
I live in Michigan and as I understand you can not get an S model here, so I had my dealer find me one on the east coast and ship it here... (pics attached)
