New to Yaris and new to the forums
Bought my 2009 Yaris last Saturday, but I'm been lurking and searching the Yaris World forims for about a week longer.
I was hoping to supercharge my 3 dr Liftback in the next 6 months but sadly Biltz S/C is offroad use only and won't be applying for a CARB exemption at this point in time. This changes my plans unless someone knows of a CARB approved S/C kit for the 2009 M\T version. However, I was wondering if anyone knew the weight difference between the stock 15" steel wheel/tire/wheelcover combination versus the TRD 18" alloy wheel/tire combination. I'm curious as to the rolling mass compromise or penalty between the two. While I'm sure there are some ultra light weight Alloy wheels out there for the Yaris, I'd like to find out the weight differences between TRD and stock before I research other possibilities. Apologies in advance in I missed a forum post covering this issue while searching last week. thanks. |

register your car in another state so you don't have to worry about CA laws.

And you have to change your driver license with 6 months or else it's a $180 ticket. At least it was 6 years ago. It's probably higher now since the state is cash starved. I'm sure there are exceptions for military and maybe out-of-state students.

If anyone knows of a CARB approved S/C kit, I'd be interested in hearing about it. Vortech Engineering has several S/C kits which have CARB exemption numbers, but I couldn't find a kit listed for either the Yaris or Scion on their website. |
