Cali meet?

any news on your car?

Yeah, keep us updated.

btw, my welded header sprung a leak again. I hate this never ending exhaust leak.

It's back.

The guy showed me the old block... Deym, the piston in the 3rd cylinder was dancing!!!

I MIGHT go autcrossing next weekend... Before I remove parts from it. Anyone care to join?

cant go. sorry, gotta work.

Ahhihihihi.... Come on Jon. Ha2310

Got the pic from a friend in GrupoToyota. I did change my engine, changed it with a lower millage 1zz we found.


@Jon: Want to join us this Sunday?

Goddammit DOT.! You are so dead. I'm gonna make it so you're going to need another new motor. LOL∞

My Royal Purple just came in the mail. I'm going to do myself an oil change the same time I get my exhaust leak fixed again. Ugh.

So you're just fixing the #3 piston and keeping the car? Nice!

Sorry, I got work too.

Hey, Jon. I know your welder makes messy welds, but that might just be what I need for my exhaust leak. Do you think I might be able to go to your house so we can weld it shut again? I noticed a nasty loud leak and power loss, especially climbing hills a couple weeks ago.

Screw work!






Say hello to my new engine....

You have got to be shitting me! What transmission do you have matched to that? You must me one of the first ones to have a 4AG swapped into an 8th gen! AWESOME! More pics! Where did you get it swapped at and how much did you pay?

You should match a turbo to that. hehe

he is shitting you. go to the picture, right click on it, click properties and you'll see where the pic originates from.

while you're at it, go to the photobucket album it's in. =) nice try dot.

dude, i tried doing spot welding on my exhaust. it's hard!!! welding while on your back is a big mistake. electrode magma will get all over you. you're better off taking it to a shop. besides, my welder is weak. it won't be able to weld thick exhaust piping. it's only for small and thin metal work projects. the more amps a welder has the more projects you can do with a welder. you can weld an exhaust with my machine, but i can gaurantee you it's gonna crack open again with my welder.

Well, the 4 door looks fine to me. You can do this...












It's called Y-version from a company called Arto. Arto is a subdivision of TRD for parts in Thailand. The Y-version is like the the RS type for Japan. The Y-version includes a 9 piece wide body, TRD Springs, TRD Leather steering wheel & shift knob. The body kit can be purchased separately from Arto for around 1450.

Just bought this to fix my exhaust leak.

My oil change will have to wait until I get this in the mail and repair that power robbing leak. Ugh...

i've driven a fit and for some reason i like the yaris 3 door better. the 4 door sedan yaris i hate. it feels bulky and unbalanced...

dude there is a job that i'm applying for right now. If i get this job, i might have to buy a new car. something thats a bit more gas efficient. I'm thinking Toyota Yaris 3 door hatch. What do you guys think?

i meant 4 door in the US.. i wish they had a 4 door yaris/vitz here

I don't know why the US never gets all the models. It's really retarded. And not only do we not get the complete model line, they're all watered down too.

that red car looks sick!

I just put in an order for the Actron CP9175 ODBII Scanner. cost me $90. I figured I should have one just incase since I already have 3 cars at the house plus Maybe one more soon and my car has a check engine light right now and will be good to have for when smog check time comes around. This one also has the capability of updating via internet with an optional usb adapter cable which I did not buy since I couldn't find any information regarding downloads and Actron doesnt seem to have anything on their website yet.

Anyway, among the four of us who normally meet up, I will offer free scans for our cars, $5 to scan our friend's cars when we meet up or new members who don't show up all the time, and $20 if you want to borrow the scanner. I figure this is fair and its a way for me to get my money back. Let me know if this is a fair deal with you guys.

they won't pass smog in all 50 states

i'm real busy this week and next week. totally stressed out right now.

Same here. I've got frickin a million things going on all at once.

Hmm... How does a 7-rib 4AGE + 6speed transmission mounted on a JDM ae92 with all the works including whiteline anti-sway bar, 4pt TRD Strut bar, etc. sound like?

I'm seriously thinking of selling my car and getting that car.

Well, my car rides like hell.

I forgot to add, CF hood + CF Chin, Newly painted, leather seats, and much much more.

About $8k on upgrades + the cost of the car...
