Hello everyone, just saying Hi. I've been a member of Yarisworld for a while until someone there mentioned TOCAU and I googled it and found this here smile.gif

I have an '06 YR Yaris MT Hatch with a few mods but since buying a 300ZX all my money goes towards that and the Yaris gets no more upgrades.... kinda good, kinda bad.

I live in Sunnybank, work at ASUS in Macgregor and spend 99% of my spare time in the garage working on my car...

Here's a couple of photos for your viewing pleasure smile.gif You're all welcome to browse my photobucket album if you ever get bored. It's all Yaris/Zed related: http://s471.photobucket.com/albums/rr79/in...ckiz/?start=all

I reckon! My wish list is lowered springs, rear sway bar, Penguin Garage rear hub spacers and to fix up the scratches in the paintwork. My dream list has just one item: a supercharger.

Tell me where and when and I'll see what I can do smile.gif I reeeeeally need new tyres right now, they're pretty much on the legal limit me thinks ohmy.gif

Thanks for the comments everyone smile.gif I love the 300ZX the most. I mean, who wouldn't love a car with twin turbos! The Yaris is an awesome daily driver though, I just wish it was a 1.5L. The dealer advertised it as a 1.5L and then a month or so after I bought it I saw the plate in the passenger door pillar which read 1298cc!!!! A long battle later and I was reimbursed $1600 thanks to Fair trading and a lot of phone calls. I still would've preferred the 1.5L tho...

Details on the thurs nite meets are here... Clicky!

edit: it says ever 2nd thursday, but it is actually every week biggrin.gif
Speedz
shame about the missing 200cc!!!

but when you get a super charger im sure it will blow the 200cc away for sure! lol

one thing you got a nice taste in the Shadow Blue Yaris tongue.gif

mine was one of the 1st on the road back in 2005!!!
Tash
Hello and welcome! Two very nice looking cars there biggrin.gif

Hi and welcome very nice cars toast.gif toast.gif toast.gif toast.gif
Kieren
Woohoo, thanks everyone smile.gif

When I saw this colour with the S-pack at the dealer I just had to have it! It had only done 18000kms when I bought it too back in November '08.

The supercharger will never happen sad.gif Too much money. For the price to have the Yaris blown I'd buy 2 upgraded turbos for the Zed and pull the engine and fit em myself... Such is life though.

So, the meets/cruises/things... that's the one in Spring Hill? The thread has ~119 pages and I couldn't find anything helpful during my quick check of it. Is there something closer to Sunnybank? What do you guys normally do on the Thursday nights?

mick.wheelz
yep, its at spring hill... shoot me a PM if you need more directions.

There is nothing rly closer to the southside, although we have a lot of kids coming in from sunnybank, or even as far as the gold coast... and plus you are in a yaris, will cost 30c worth of petrol to get there hehe.

We usualy hang out, talk sh*t and sometimes go on a cruise or mountain run... we are going on a mountain run this week, so you should come check it out.. even if you dont want to drive, there are plenty of people more than willing to have a passanger smile.gif
Speedz
hmm... could we maybe wait for DJKOR to come by next week for a mountain run instead ?? tongue.gif

something came up and i need sometime off to finish is... (like me tax return LOL...)
Kieren
Hmm I'm always up for a cruise. The difference between cruising in the Yaris and cruising in the Zed is that in the Zed I drive to MY limit, whereas in the Yaris I drive the the CARS limit.

You still haven't done your tax return?? LOL... I'm so eager to get the money I do it in the first week of July!

Let me know when you're going to do the mountain run and I'll come along. I'm not the most excitingly social person...

Hi from Sunnybank Hills

Nice to see another neighbour here

Nice cars and nice mods, i like your rear light lamp, better than oem lights

But honestly, i still love my WHITE Yaris....hahaha...i love white cars although my recent few rides are all Red.

See you sometime on Thursday, we gonnda have Nebo run this Thursday so you maybe bring your Yaris along


BTW...i went to the ASUS centre once but not sure who are you..ha
Kieren
smile.gif I hate the OEM lights, with a passion. I got these ones off eBay for about $300 as soon as I bought the car.

I'm the only Aussie @ ASUS, everyone else is Taiwanese/Hong Kongese. I'm pretty grumpy at work...

Actually I'm even more grumpy when I'm driving the Yaris for some reason, don't know why. If you encounter me on the road know just remember it's nothing personal... I'm the opposite in the Zed... I don't know why huh.gif

Getting in to Spring Hill tomorrow night could be fun since the Riverside Expressway will be mostly closed after 8pm... What time is the meet?

Welcome to the club mate biggrin.gif
good to see your choice in cars... one not so attention grabbing daily, and one very tidy 300z tongue.gif
i don't wanna put you out, but mick was right in saying some of us come from the coast, head out tomoz night, and you will be able to put a face to everyone's names biggrin.gif
Hope to see ya sometime tongue.gif ... when i can be bothered to drive all the way up on Thursday night unsure.gif

Thanks Evo. It's not much of a trip to get there, I'm used to driving from Sunnybank to Kenmore all the time.

I don't want the 300 to grab too much attention, especially not from the Fuzz... So far I've only ever been roadside-RBT'd in it. I've been tailed plenty of times but never stopped. Fingers crossed.....

Hope to see you all soon, I need some more friends tongue.gif

Probably the most active mod... have a look at the moderators, and then decide yourself tongue.gif

Lol damn, I finally found the link to 'The Moderating Team' after a while, and PM'd SILVABULLIT..... oh well. Just concerned if linking to my 350Z/370Z forum would be... conflicting? We shall see.....
Kieren
New ACRE brake pads FTW biggrin.gif They make a helluva difference on the Yaris.

Anyway, you're welcome to add me a Facebook too. http://www.facebook.com/iscream.
