that sucks about your friend's BMW, he should have bought a Yaris instead . kidding, kidding...wait, so you got both sets of rims from your friend for free?

yup, a lot of helpful members here who are very knowledgable. one person who sticks out (probably because his Tanabe DIY was the very first DIY thread i saw here), is Chris. sponsors also do a great job in providing good, low prices. i ordered my Tein S.Tech's from ProMotionTuning for the lowest price i've seen them, ANYWHERE.

I'm getting used to Toyota's. i haven't had one in years so is new to me. I'm a BMW tech so if i can help in any technical way i will. Just need to get to know the Yaris more in order to be able to unlock some of it's potential.
can't wait!

it was a lot of fun having all the torque but the problems were always there and after the tree branch fell on top of it, i lost the love for it... oops

i like the hatch, i just need to put 12-130 hp to the wheels and i'll be A OK.

yeah they did but it wasn't the same after, it you know. the car felt molested. plus the body shop didn't do the best job possible so i had to go in twice more to get the work done right.

130 whp will be awesome for this light car. we will see what happens!

sorry to hear about your issues. will do a search and see what happened.
couldn't sell it for the life of me. i tried all different sites plus the autotrader.com and came up empty. nobody wants a "neon" that has had a tree branch for a hat.

so i traded in 2 weeks ago and got the hatch. best thing i have done in months.
