manual transmission: to mod or not to mod? - Toyota Yaris Forums

I have to agree with Tamago on this one. The posts I've read on YW with people treating their Yaris like a Formula 1 car makes my Yaris cry for the abuse of its siblings. It's an economy car first and foremost and I think the MT is a blast to drive as it is.

No need to slam the shifter at 6k RPM to race to the next red light. All you are doing is reducing the longevity and reliability of an otherwise reliable and economical car.

i never once bashed the yaris.

i do however have a lot of experience with what similar engine and transmissions will handle, and i'll tell you right now, yaris or not, your drivetrain is NOT racer-boy strong.

thanks for unsubscribing though
