New owner questions 2009-5dr-5spd
Hey guys,
Picked up a new to me Yaris. Other than the Red colour, it's pretty much what I was looking for. 2009, 5spd, manual windows, power locks. It is a rebuild, but I know what to look for and the price was right. My goal is just a long term daily driver (I am building a 1700lb 300hp car for the fun driving), that I can put up with. Some questions for fellow owners if you don't mind: -Reverse is fairly noisy. Not grinding, but the gears are pretty loud. Makes a honda look quiet. Normal? -shifter bushings- needs them. Where is the best buy to stiffen that up? I don't think I want a short shifter, just less slop. -Haven't driven it much yet but it sure feels like it could use a rear sway bar. Is this the first cornering mod? - I corner pretty hard..... any suggestions to alignment specs? -1degree? more? I am not used to FWD cars. Also, if anyone with an 09 5spd has underhood pics I would like to see them. Especially around the intake/airbox area. I'd like to see how different mine is from the repairs. Thanks guys. This forum looks great so far (already helped me find the jack heh). Cheers, Cory |
