It's been a few weeks and as you know improving a car is an expensive hobby so I had to save up some more funding for the next mod. I rushed over to Micro Image in the morning and picked up the springs and tower bar before work. I of course also looked around for my next mod (I like to think ahead). I didn't have time to install the springs myself so I turned to the guys at Elegant Autosport in Burbank, CA. They did a great job only took them 3hrs and charged me $150 I also picked up a 5zigen re… Continue

Another after dark install. This time it took me half an hour to install, mostly because I struggled to get the damn hook rubber holders off the original exhaust. I wised up and cut them off, then installed the Nitto exhaust with new rubber hook holders. I fired up the engine and it roared back! My Yaris now feels like it should have a long time ago. I don't know why I waited so long to start modifying it.

While I was at Garm's shop I also remembered to pick up some microimage club stickers so… Continue

I finally got around to Garm's shop, a very nice gentleman might I add, and I picked up a NST SSK_stage 1 and cable bushings.

I woke up early and for the first time in a long time I was on time for class. My Yaris sounded and moved like it had just got an injection of hp. The new intake made the clutch harder to press, but it was a welcome change since it proves the car is getting stronger to me. I was so excited about the new intake I decided not to wait until Friday to get more parts. I can't decide what my next move will be. I want a SSK, but I should also finish my air system with a nice exhaust. I might get them b… Continue

Today I received a call letting me know my new AFE intake was in. The last hour at work was torture, but when it was all done I raced to the shop to pick up my new horse power. I walked into the place with a grin on my face the size of a Pinks hot dog, and all the guys standing around looking for Nissan parts online could tell I was going to have fun. I had to go by school for an event, but with all the rain and it now quickly turning pitch black, I said to hell with the event and went home to m… Continue
