tc...fast?

Really? You need to get me those dyno #'s. :p

[whooppee777]

i need to solder my connections between the fuel controller and the ecu. sometimes when i go full throttle a signal gets lost or something and i lose the supercharger competely. that seldom occurs but theres no point in getting it dynoed if in the middle of a pull i lose all power. once thats done i will get it dynoed. the light weight konig heliums have helped too

[staticorex]

That sucks. Get it fixed! :p

[toyo]

bad ass SRT-4!

[ChinoCharles]

SRT4's are nooooo joke man. Those get straight line quick with minimal effort. We have guys in the club doing 11s in Neons.

[whooppee777]

but at the end of the day...its still a neon

[ChinoCharles]

... doing 11's.

I don't buy that logic. Those cars are f'n awesome.

At the end of the day, its still a Yaris? If its fast its fast!

[whooppee777]

touché

i just wouldnt buy one

TC stands for tuck cock in my book.........

Why all the TC hatred? I mean, I get the Neon hating, but what's wrong with TC's? :p

Why mod a Yaris?
That's like asking why Leonardo da Vinci painted the Mona Lisa. He could have saved a lot of time and money just paying a bum on the street to sketch it really quick. But, his passion was to create beauty, in his own eyes, from a blank canvas.

Why modify your hair or clothes in the morning (stfu bald people)? Why put in time on a tread mill or working out your body? Why mow the lawn? If stock is good enough, you should be good to go in all categories.

It's a fun car to start with, so why not make it more fun, especially if it satisfies one's desire to put a personal touch on something to make it different or special. If nothing else, when you pass a stock Yaris on the road, you can imagine the other driver thinking, "I didn't see those options" or "That must be the S model..."

EDIT: Oh sorry I went off a bit. I get this at work a lot. lol

Your argument does not support your idea. da Vinci created his own works. Bolting on other people's inventions is the equivalent of paying a bum to sketch things out, and having shops install things for you or having a body shop do things for you is the equivalent of paying a bum to both sketch things out and paint it for you; all you did was possibly gather some of the supplies.

The simple cosmetic things that some folks do require very little skill, if any, and are the creative equivalent of wrapping a gift.

Let's not embellish things.

Ha. Ouch. I see both your points though. I have to agree that my first modded car, which was just a nice car with random expensive upgrades installed by professionals got me nowhere near the praise I've received for my Yaris, which I have been far more subtle with and did the work myself.
