Yeah I've seen a build or 2 that used a 4ag or 3efte engine in the back of the Yaris. And I'd totally do this. But last time I researched that, it'd be a 20,000$ swap. My brother can weld - but he welds roofing and fencing stuff. I don't think he knows how to align motor mounts and such.

I don't want to mod the g35. I'm just not feeling it.

I drove the Yaris last night, the first time in forever. It was scary. Like I mashed the pedal once to cross traffic - and with a few people in the car, it crawled through the RPMs... It was terrifying. Other than that - the turn radius, simplicity in driving it, all that stuff was still there. It'd do great with more power.
Anything I do to the Yaris, will be worth more than the value of the car. My car values under 3000$ due to all the miles.

When you ask why Yaris - the answer is because it's a Yaris!
B/c they won't expect this



Hmm, 2GR would get me that 5-6 second time... It's open deck so I probably can't turbo it much right?
This might be something I will consider doing. It's a 5000$ engine though... You could spend less on a 3s or a 4age and get it into your car quicker (or with less money) - then I can tune it later.

I love my Yaris, and that is one of the big reasons I want to work on it.

I like the fact that my car's value is so low. I don't worry about hurting the value because it has no where to go. LoL.

I mod mine, because I want to do it for me.

I am currently doing the 2zrfe swap, and really taking my time cleaning and painting weird little rust spots, and painting suspension parts to make it look nice. Not show quality, but nice enough for me. I am actually painting the entire outside of the car myself. I will have the satisfaction, that I did it. Even if it doesn't turn out great.

I'd probably wrap it, myself - heheh. For price, simplicity, durability, etc. If I were going to pay someone to do it - I'd pay them to paint it. I worked in a body shop, and I know how painfully long it'll take for me to paint my entire car. I could wrap it in a weekend for ~200$.

I'll never sell my Yaris. I paid over $17,000 for it - so no way in hell am I selling it for anything less than 3000.
Might as well do something to it... Otherwise it's going to sit around for 15 years until my son gets a drivers license lol.
