Hi my name is Jake I'm from st.louis. I'm moving to CR next month cause my wife wants to move back home. I'm 26 and in to anything Toyota, I'm a member of Rival House Garage a very well known company in drifting and fitment/stance scene. I however drag race an 09 Yaris that makes 187whp/172wtq and runs 13.8s@98. Car put down 92whp stock mods are in my sig. Still very slow compared to other Yaris, record is 11.53@128. I know you will wonder about the car so I got it out of the way. How is the scene in Iowa? I'm down and out about leaving the car scene here cause in Iowa I don't see many modded cars. I look forward to talking to y'all and seeing you at the track or car meets! -Jake-

Wow, a Yaris, that's awesome.

The scene is pretty dull out here, but throughout the summer/fall we have meets and such.

Pics of your car?

明日私は豊田氏行く.

The city is literally 16km from me and I've actually never been; and I'm doing nothing tomorrow.

Oh and here is my daily driver built by JMB performance. Srt-4 swapped 98 R/T, to much to list.... I also have a 2013 Y20 Turbo sonata with a BTRcc tune/intake/forge bov . The sonata is my wife's DD, I like building odd ball cars obviously http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u127/jekqmb/image-13.jpg (http://s167.photobucket.com/user/jekqmb/media/image-13.jpg.html)

The Yaris was a DD until I got the modding bug and it turned into this. But I am going to be building the motor with a 1.7 stroker kit and T28 setup this winter since i wont have anything to do in IA lol and my wife gave me the ok to spend the money since i wont have any friends in CR. I'm trying to break the nitrous record which is 13.1@101. The Yaris is the biggest head turner I've owned and when it rolls out from a dig on faster cars its priceless.

Never thought of a Yaris as a performance car. It's awesome you are doing something with one, catch a lot of guys off guard.

Cedar Rapids pretty much sucks, especially if you have lived in virtually any other big city since you know what your missing.

I just can't believe you'd leave St Louis, home of Pappy's Smoke Shack, for CR. Of coarse, I'm a fat kid that thinks with my stomach.

Wow thats neat. 13's in a yaris is pretty sweet. Its not that bad up here. Definitely a lot of nice back roads to go enjoy in a fun car

Most likely it was fitted on 16x9s last summer was this it? http://i167.photobucket.com/albums/u127/jekqmb/d737015b-011d-456a-a8de-bc48353415fe.jpg (http://s167.photobucket.com/user/jekqmb/media/d737015b-011d-456a-a8de-bc48353415fe.jpg.html)

unsure, doubt there was many other "done" up yaris's there, was looking good though, defintly caught my attention to see a yaris like that ;)

Wow, a drag racing Yaris, very nice. This makes me feel just a little less crazy for putting a turbo on a Tacoma and drag racing.
