1NZ port & polish - Toyota Yaris Forums

Listen. You guys don't know Ohio.

Summit Racing... if I'm not mistaken, one of the largest domestic parts distributors in the country... and one of the largest distributors overall. They have everything. Their warehouse is HUGE. you can walk in on any day and leave with anything from crate engines to the little condom that goes on your LED. There are also a few tracks around here... a few.

So, I live in what is basically the best 50 square miles to build a domestic muscle car. There are 18 year old kids where I live that can tell you how to put 550 to the rear in a Nova.

I drive a Yaris.

Somehow I have an intake in my car that people are drooling for. And these domestic guys can manufacture MAF plates. And I can buy the rest at... you guessed it.

I'm on here so much I could almost tell you anything about this specific car. If not, I'm on here asking you guys within 12 hours. This is my finest resource, and the main reason isn't necessarily because of the advice. Its the vendors. If you want people who won't bullshit you on cars, talk to someone who deals with them every single day.

Yadda yadda yadda... now I'm sitting here with a car that looks 5 steps short of sex, I have a dyno and tuner to play with and I have a P&P sitting in my fucking lap.

In the heart of domestic country, there is a Yaris getting attention. This is easily the funniest shit I've ever done in my life. There is a LOT of pulling up and just having a good laugh.

Now, I'm at a point where I'm staring something in the face and I don't know if I can take the next step. I could possibly get this done, continue trying to tune this car and get lucky. If it takes hold, I now have a successful P&P sponsorship in my pocket... and I have an intake on the market. My goal from day one has been to just try and bring attention to it. Now I'm possibly holding the Yaris with the most interesting story in the country... and in debt 10 grand in a warranty-void car. Lets hope the poor bastard sells some intakes.

Flipside... I blow my car up and I'm fucked for life. You guys do such a wonderful job of reminding me of this, I couldn't thank you enough.

The question is do I trust these domestic shops to play with a 1NZ. Keep in mind I have Baskin as my main guide, and I have literally never seen a problem he couldn't fix. Granted, there is no way to fix an overported head.

Now tell me what you'd do.
