That Yaris is definitely Brian's (pimp_my_yaris). I'm a mixture of bummed and curious to see why he sold it. Looks like he's only been inactive for a month too...

He had a pretty quality build. IIRC he built the engine, did the pump, injectors, rail and regulator (obviously).

Here's some more reading:

Edit: If you have another car and live in GA, there really is no reason to not buy Garm's Yaris if you've been considering it. 8.5k (or whatever it's at now) plus 1k shipping is beyond a steal for that level of performance. Plus, all the problems you mentioned really aren't that big of a deal (maybe ac, depending on how much needs to be done to make it functional).

Brian and I talked on the phone I think back in the beginning of August and he mentioned kicking around the idea of moving on from his LB. I am having a blank on what his reasoning was even though we talked at length about options, etc. AFAIK he was actually talking about buying a Vette to build out as it is something he has wanted to do for a while. I know more of why he let the LB go, but they are personal so I won't dig into them. I can tell you that it had nothing at all to do with the LB itself. He loved it, but was ready to move on....kind of like Garm and his LB.
