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 :)

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 :) 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 :) I reeeeeally need new tyres right now, they're pretty much on the legal limit me thinks :o

Thanks for the comments everyone :) 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...

Woohoo, thanks everyone :)

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 :( 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?

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 :)

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

:) 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:

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 :D

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 :P

      overheated engine

      I drive a 2010 series 200 sahara V8 automatic. I recently towed a small caravan on a not that hotter day. The temperature gauge went to about half then dropped back to normal. The motor then went into limp mode and eventually stopped. On lifting the bonnet i noticed the top radiator tank had split all the way across. I have only two months ago had the complete cooling system checked with no defects. I called the RAA in South Aust and they tried to start it but just turned over but did not fire up. It was still pretty hot. I have been told the motor would be ruined by overheating. The car has been sitting at the repairers for 5 days now and as far as i know it has not been attempted to start. Before putting a new motor in it would it be worth putting a new radiator in it and see if it will fire up? Open to any suggestions at this stage.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Depends on how common/rare they are in your part of the world. The XZ trim was the second-lowest so didn't come with most of the fun bits that the full-fruit BZG/V/R models did, so it's not anywhere near as desirable stock but sometimes you have to make do with what you can find, plus you shouldn't feel as guilty modding the heck out of it since most of it isn't special.

      VSC, Traction Control, Check Engine lights all on

      I attended Toyota Preston for Aurion ATX 2013 major service today. Cost $~$1300. On the way home I stopped to pick up dinner. Two fault lights: engine and VSC lights came on when I restarted the car. Car drove home just fine. I can only return the car tomorrow for them to sort out. Annoyed. Let’s see if they’re still on in the morning.

      1996 Trueno XZ - Is it worth modding?

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!
