Just ordered my exhaust and cold air intake. Time to start the performance build on my buzzbomb

Medalion touring should bolt on easy. Next stop, more horses...maybe I willl look at turbo options if there is an easy bolt on kit. Otherwise, I am open to suggestions

tanabe medallion is so nice on the LB.

If you plan on going turbo youre going to have to get new intake/exhaust so you may want to consider s/c or save the money.

Garm offers a turbo kit for the Yaris. http://shop.microimageonline.com/ZAG...S-Zage-tky.htm

cheap power equals the turbo, and there are a handful of extremely detailed turbo builds around here if you have the know how to do it yourself.

I have no idea what I am doing, ever. But that never stops me from doing anything ;p

That's the way to do it! I'm picking up a supercharger tonight to install on my Miata, never done any sort of F/I before in my life. There's only one way to learn!

they said that experience is the best teacher.
i couldn't agree more, cause surely experience doesnt give any homework at all

i tend to end up in the hospital when I do hands on work. So I am taking learning all this stuff at a very slow and hospital free rate.
