Power
The best thing ive ever put on the yairs is a AFE cold-air intake..it makes an amazing difference in torque and also using 91 octane gas and regurally using fuel system cleaners..mine is a little screamer now...you do have to give the cold air intake a few miles for the ECU to adjust to more air...youll be amazed at the difference... i was...and its much faster with the a/c on...its no longer choking for more air...it was definately worth the 150.00

yeah in hindsight we should have put the red cars on the outside, followed by the white to the inside and mine in the center... you know... red white blue.

Little Red is correct, I put 93 in everytime, and def notice a increase with intake and exhaust over stock and 87 when I NEED to get out in busy traffic and need to beat my YAYA to get up to speed, there is no hesitation at all and the car seems to pull a little harder, my GF even noticed the difference when I had to merge onto the beltway in rushour last week, plus it sounded GOOD!!! BWAHHHH!!!

In my youth, I screwed up some perfectly good cars with mods. After pouring far too much money into them, the cars were actually worth less. How's this for stupid: tearing out the fuel injection to install side-draft carbs?
I learned quite a bit from modifying my cars - even a bit about auto mechanics. In the end, it seems that modifying one's cars is part of growing up...

There are a few types of people. People who lightly mod their cars and sell them 3-5 years, people who buy expensive cars because they sell them 3-5 years so modding a 30k car to be a 60k car is not worth it, people who are happy with a stock car, and people who modify the crap out of their car because the want to keep it till it dies because they love it so much. You have to choose what is best for you and your plans with the car before you buy it ;)
I chose the yaris because I can dump 5-6k into it and have it be as fast as a small v6 and get gas millage better than most 4cyl. I also am paying 0% apr for 60months so I figure all the money I would of dumped into a 7-9% apr is better spent on my car. If the yars hadn't had a 0% apr I would have gotten a civic si or a scion tc and only spent about 2k on basic mods. |

I bought My 09' Yaris It is an Automatic, it has plenty of Horsepower & Torque, Mine has the factory upgraded 195's Goodyear tires, the suspension I thought was very soft and a little bouncy.
My only Mod was a rear swaybay, this settled down the soft suspension, took away that super soft bouncy feel, and made handling much, much, much!!!! better, but it still has the comfortable ride with the stock springs, I like that I can roll over most stuff since it has good ground clearence. Yaris is a great car, very manuverable. Westgl |

Me and the gf bought our Yaris because she liked the customer service at the Toyota dealership closest to us, and her 07 Corolla never had any problems right up until it was completely totalled, we got back more than we owed. It's a good car. It's a car for her, so I only gave input when needed, she originally wanted a Speed 3, which for obvious reasons, I would've rather got, but I like the Yaris so far, it's not like it's a super fast car or anything, but it is what it was meant to be, an economy car. Just my $0.02.

Modding and efficiency
I modified my Yaris to correct the handling, improve the safety, and to improve the mileage. A lot of my friends didn't think much of my dirt cheap ebay upgrades and some told me I'd have trouble with insulated headers. I rarely use that extra 1,500 RPM of torque curve but when I do its still a lot more fun. With all synthetic lubes it took 20,000 miles to get this thing fully broken in. I average 41 MPG combined all the time now and I can drive hard enough on mountain roads to make the wife clutch the barf bag. Not bad for less than $13K.
