The local authorities don't look kindly on engine swaps or modifications. If the vehicle's power is increased by more than 20%, the vehicle needs to be certified by an approved engineer that it is safe and meets pollution control limits.

But if the goal is an offroad/track toy, there shouldn't be anything stopping you. =)

It's my daily driver and tow car for my sailing boat. We get the real Yaris here in Australia, currently only available as a 4 door hatchback. The local tow hitch manufacturers state their hitches do not fit the current model due to the different rear bumper to earlier models, so I will wait and see if a tow hitch is available for the GR Yaris due to arrive late this year...
