I'm envious of the other ladies who did work on there's! My knowledge is pretty limited (I sadly know more about Mazda3s than my own baby yaris).


Here I am, goofing around with a kitty.

Ah I loooove the mazda3 I drove a rental a few months ago and was so impressed by the handling! Every time I go by one now I have to turn and look, I think it's a very attractive car, especially with the spoiler.

Yes, I think the guy who had it on his car was going for contrast. There are lots of pink accessories though, you'll find some you like

You may have heard people say that our cars have a four-cylinder, internal combustion engine. Each cylinder is just a tube in the engine that has a piston (a part that goes up and down) inside. Basically, the movement of the pistons is what makes the power that turns the wheels of the car.

To make the power, air and fuel get mixed together inside the cylinder above each piston. The spark plug ignites the air/fuel mixture, and that little explosion (combustion) drives down the piston--the force created is then transmitted to other parts of the car, and off you go.

The Blitz supercharger I have is a pretty complex part! It connects to the outside of the engine, and replaces one of the stock pieces. What it does is compress the air before it goes into the cylinders. More air means more fuel can be mixed with it, so the engine can do more work in each cycle of fuel burning. In other words it has more horsepower.

Summary: supercharger =
What are the before/after stats with your Yaris? I have been toying with the idea of getting a turbo charger - not until next summer since I'm in Minnesota and it's already almost winter time lol I want to be able to enjoy it for a while before I have to drive 5mph through 10 feet of snow for 6 months haha

....and again, I will be paying someone to install it ..... if you want to do another one let me know LOL jk :)

Given my back injuries that I have from being hit by a van while on a bicycle, and the follow up chronic tendonitis, I will leave working under the hood for those with more skills, zero petrochemical allergies, the right tools, and stronger backs. Putting on my own plastic plate cover protectors is enough of a challange. Besides my Mom would have a fit if I tried to install myself the turbo charger I want. After my heart attack last year, my Mom has become a little too protective. My Mom does admit with me being her primary sourse of support, she wants nothing to happen to me.

Sorry I am not much for old cars without catalitic converters. Too much air pollution for someone who suffers from petrochemical allergies. http://www.midatlanticnostalgiaconvention.com/ Besides I used to live near Aberdeen, MD. The APG Tank Museum is more my style. LOL.

Ah dear lord, the pace at work has been brutal lately, sorry I didn't answer before.

Let's see, before and after: on a recent test I did a 7.7 second 0-60, with close to 149 hp...surely someone with experience at it could improve that time. Stock the Yaris is advertised as having 106 hp at the crank (plenty of stock dynos here in the 90s range at the wheel). So my results sound about right, as the s/c is advertised as providing a 30+ hp gain, and my other intake/exhaust mods make up the rest.

I will never work on the car in the winter again lol! It was so cold, got dark so early, made the whole process just plain unpleasant and took much longer than expected.
