Hey Everyone,

Just wondering what everyone has done for mod's... Maybe it'll give some of us stock Yaris some mod's to look forward to...

Suspension/Wheels & Tires:

Performance:

Just the factory lowering springs for me. I know these are a bit conservative for the racier owners, but for improved handling and looks without destroying ride quality, they work great.

Performance:

Interior: Shift knob and door sill protectors(I like the look of the protectors)
Exterior: Window tint only
Audio/Video: Lightening Audio 10" sub and amp (TO owners see XS Cargo)
Suspension/Wheels & Tires: Nothing yet....I'm saving for an anniversary at the end of May(Going on an Alaskan Cruise!!), so I'll be doing the lowering springs at least in June/July
Performance: Nothing yet... Planning on doing the intake and exhaust after the springs. I work at an aftermarket exhaust mfg plant so I'll be doing something custom.

I have OBX pedals on the way! The four piece set, gas, brake, clutch and dead pedal.

Vibrant exhaust next month. I'm trying to get some more.....

riceboy · 04-10-2006, 11:23 PM

Hmmmm so looks like JCOVE is leading the way so far... anyone got anything on the ol' wishlist yet?

why? · 04-11-2006, 09:50 AM

First thing for me as well is getting my Yaris. I put a deposit down at my dealer, but who knows how long it'll take to get my car.

Master · 04-14-2006, 12:06 PM

Interior: nothing much. depending on how comfy the seats are i might swap them out.

Exterior: no body kits, but i like the factory spoiler. gotta get an HID kit tho

Audio/Video: double din AV unit (probably eclipse AVN3435), but i kind of don't want to spend that much. i might end up with a double din unit that can do sirius. Speaker upgrades, not sure what yet.

Suspension/Wheels & Tires: tein coilovers with some 18 or 17 inch work sp1 wheels or some other five spoke type wheel

Performance: probably just a pop charger and an exhaust, since the stock one looks oh so dinky

probably going to end up putting 3-5k into the car

riceboy · 04-14-2006, 02:21 PM

Damn that eclipse is a serious h/u.. in Canada it runs about 4k with taxes.... is everything really that much cheaper in the US?

Schmingie · 04-15-2006, 08:42 AM

Window Tint, Rear Bumper Protector, Cargo net, Roof Rack ( For family holiday trip), Center armrest, Window visors, Center cup holder, All weather mats, 6 Disc/mp 3 upgrade, Exhaust Tip, Shift Knob ( in the mail ).

Oh ......... you wanted a WISH list!!!!!! LR plans would be for 17" wheels and some low profile tires, and a TURBO kit if TRD ever offers one that won't void the warranty (not holding my breath for that)!!! As for cosmetic changes I like the car as it stands, but wouldn't mind those little chin spoilers I saw in one of the threads. You can order them in stock colours which would make life easier. Still debating glass tint, and 3M coating.
Of course if I won the lottery I would start by converting the car to AWD, and then I would .............

TOYOTaejien · 04-27-2006, 03:25 PM

well, first thing on my wishlist is that they would start creating/making more performance/exterior parts for the yaris liftback/sedan.

then i'll probably add a new spoiler, a c/f hood, lowering springs, some axis hiro's or enkei evo5, a new set of projectors headlights, maybe different tailights, tints, intake or even cold, exhaust, turbo/supercharger?, moonroof conversion, reuphoster/change the interior fabrics

mmm.. anything else on my wishlist.. that may be it for now. just like my avatar :)

Idjiit · 04-27-2006, 10:14 PM

Anyone know of a company that makes actual replacement pedals instead of just pedal covers? The stock pedal spacing absolutely sucks.

I believe that the OBX are replacement pedals, but I'll let you know when I get them. OBX is the company that all Toyota and Scion dealerships, use for aftermarket parts such as shift knob, pedals and so on.

Unless I'm misunderstanding you, I don't think there's too much you can do for the pedal spacing, unless you actually move the controls. Can you shed a little move info on what you mean? Sorry if I'm a little thick, just can't figure it out.

I really don't want to do a load of mods, for a number of reasons:

* I did the mod-thing years ago - wound up ruining a few perfectly good cars.
* I don't want to pour a ton of money into an otherwise inexpensive car.
* As I get older, my priorities are changing a bit; I like dead-reliability, comfort and simplicity.

These things being said, I wouldn't mind getting the TRD springs/shocks, sport muffler and those nice TRD wheels!

The stock suspension looks oh-so-jacked-up along with what look like undersized wheels/tires. I can't even find the tailpipe on the stock muffler!

When will I learn that Toyota engineers aren't stupid... I shouldn't mess with this stuff.

*Chris07LB* · 07-22-2006, 06:13 PM

Interior: Leather seats (front only - still waiting for Classic Soft Trim to get around to cutting the pattern for the 40/60 rear seat in the hatchback).

Exterior: Rear bumper protector.

Audio/Video: MB Quart RCE-216 speakers in front, RCE-213's in rear. Installed sound damping all around. I have the JVC KD-HDR1 head unit (that has a built-in HD tuner) but I'm waiting for a trim kit before I install.

Suspension/Wheels & Tires: Koenig Helium wheels.

Performance: zip

Could I get some pics of your leather interior?
