It's confirmed, 5/12/2006 Friday will be the day I pick up my Yaris.

For the curious ones, I ordered a Yaris RS 5-Speed MT, Package B, in Black Sand Pearl.

I'm having it lowered by Toyota, using the Eibach-Pro/TRD lowering springs.

Check the Photo/Video section and the Canadian members thread for upcoming pictures!

Mine is the same specs in "Burnt Tuscan Tangerine" ....... or whatever the colour is called. you can see the appropriate colour thread for comparison to your black. BTW congrats and enjoy.

Hi! This is my 1st post.
As you know, I delivered your car today!
Hope you are enjoying your new car!!

bigsky2 · 05-13-2006, 12:20 AM

Hey Toyotaguy

Thanks for all your help

This car is fantastic!

With the Eibach aka Toyota Lowering Springs, it looks MUCH better. Handling is very good as well, it feels nice and tight when taking turns and harder corners.

My first extended drive in it was awesome. Took it around Richmond to get a feel for the regular driving (stop+go) and played around the the stereo, lights, seats.

I took some pictures at the dealership, and I'll be sure to post them up later.

Hey everyone!

I was finally able to pull myself away from my car and transfer some images.

Here's a few samples for you to wet your appetite:

That won't be there for too long:

Told you it wouldn't be there for too long:

Looking GOOD!

bikergal · 05-15-2006, 07:36 AM

Thanks for posting up pictures! Good Luck with your new car

PS. Is that the blazing blue color car next to yours in the garage or the other light blue one? Hard to tell

The Yaris next to mine is Bayou Blue Metallic colour.

hhcchen · 05-15-2006, 02:40 PM

you have to act so cool for car delivery...?

ricko · 05-15-2006, 02:58 PM

VERY nice piece. The lowering springs enhance the appearance, and I think you'll notice a definite improvement in handling. I've had mine (outfitted pretty much the same as yours) for 6 weeks, and I can seem to get enough ops to drive it. I know it is economical, space effecient and all that, but most of all it is FUN to drive. Enjoy!!!!!!

ricko · 05-15-2006, 02:59 PM

Ooops ........... I meant I CAN'T get enough ops to drive it.

bigsky2 · 05-15-2006, 03:03 PM

That was a silly moment because I just opened the door and took a huge whiff of the new car smell. My girlfriend noticed and called me to her attention and she snapped that picture

But to answer your question, yes, I must be so cool when taking delivery

bigsky2 · 05-15-2006, 03:11 PM

This car is definitely a fun drive. I'm still trying to discover this car's steering and handling abilities. But so far so good! It feels great, and like you said ricko, there are not enough opportunities to drive it!

It's a statutory holiday in British Columbia (and I think most parts of Canada) next weekend, so that'll be my long weekend with this car.

Probably going to do its first wash and wax.

I'll probably take pictures of that event.
Anyone interested?

ricko · 05-15-2006, 03:19 PM

Of course! I think the site needs more pics.
