Going Boosted

[FryGuy]

I think with all the troubles it is to work on these modern engines, I'm going to go with plan B.

Skip doing anything serious to the car get a CAI and call it done. Use turbo money to pay credit line off and get a new bike for the fun toy (Can-Am Spyder, fast, fun, practical and very different).

i waited 4 years to go boost.. the car is plenty quick in the cones without power (enough to beat cars worth 4 times the value)

and IMO......... CAN-AM spyder....... you might as well buy a smart car..

I really love the Yaris don't get me wrong, but with the troubles listed hear and having the CV boots fail at 43,000km and having a new CV axle that soon. Makes me think twice about it. I just cant justify the money to turn it into a fun toy and potentially damage a perfectly nice car and end up with neither. BTW its a year old and it most likely would void my extended warrenty too. I normally like to void warranties but not this time.

I dont know about the smartcar comparison, Its a 3 wheeled motorcycle not a car.

I will say its a bit like styling of the triumph rocket III that my farther has, it is fugley (f***ing Ugly) at first because its so different then it grows on you.
My lucky father got to test drive one and if he didn't have the rocket he would buy one, still might later on he says.

Besides Zero to sixty in 4.5 seconds, sounds like fun to me!
