06YarisRS's 2ZR-FE Swap 5-Door Hatchback (Automatic Transmission)

[tmontague]

An LSD also helps huge in the snow - or at least a clutch type LSD does. I'm amazed at how well it chugs through the snow with winter tires while both front tires are spinning.

A stock height yaris with 4 winter tires and a clutch type LSD would be a snow machine. Just woukdjt make much sense to put that amount of money into a yaris for snow traction if you could just buy an awd for that amount.


I echo Tom's sentiments, thanks a ton for buying us all the badges, it was a great idea and much appreciated

You're welcome, Trevor.

Yeah, I bet an LSD would be amazing. Just as a matter of interest, would the same LSD be used for both auto and manual transmission?

On another note, I've been watching videos on the Yaris's that have been swapped with the 2ZZ engine. Now that would be a swap! That valve lift is something else. I bet the Yaris transmission would grenade if connected to one of those engines. I wonder if a 2zz and its mated transmission would be a crazy difficult install.

+1 buddy, muchly appreciated! And glad to see you're having a grand time hooning about with your new found torque!

Hhhmmm... LSD + winter tires = snow machine, you say...

re: exhaust - it seems to be the way of the world, lol. Functionally, it works just fine, but the principle of clunkage and banging is just a nuisance.. I hear ya. I'm sure the professionals at a decent exhaust shop can get you sorted. Overall the car is looking (and sounding) great, man.

Take care!

Thanks Adam! Yeah, I'm definitely going to set up an appointment at an exhaust shop. I'll make my final decision about upsizing the pipe soon.

I haven't shipped your or Trevor's badge yet as I haven't time to seek out alternative shipping. But, it should be soon though.
