"pimpin'" choices. What to do?

[Capagotks]

hi everyone. I (well my dad has, I might get it as my first car :) own/s a yaris YRX silver 4 door hatch in auto. I have a few questions but there probably based on what people prefer:

1: Manual or auto? (how much is a conversion)
2: 2 door scissors or 4 door with rear suicide?
3: sedan or hatch?

Im thinking of trading it in to get a 3 door YRX with the safety pack and 1.5L. in red and manual.

And this is over the top, but if i ever get the money, put a bike engine or two (possibly kawasaki or something top of the line) and a 4wd system off a rav4, or rear mount in the boot a skyline r32/33 engine (RWD, make the old engine bay the boot) and mod it like ppl do to get 700bhp+ or so.

EDIT: or even better like the renault van with the F1 engine. wrap yourself round a tree pretty easily with that...

there is, its just called a 3 door, they call the tailgate a 3rd door...

[eTiMaGo]

well, that's some pretty big plans

To answer your questions, manual vs auto is basically fun vs convenience. If you like driving a manual and don't mind it in traffic, then get it. Otherwise, the auto transmission is by no means bad, just not quite as involving

Suicide doors on a 4 or 5 door version would be pretty cool...

Sedan vs hatch is a matter of taste... Looks wise, the sedan blends in, the hatch stands out... Practically speaking, the sedan is great if you often carry 3 or 4 people AND luggage. If it's more of a personal car, then I'd say hatch, but maybe I'm biased

RWD conversion would definitely be something awesome, I may end up doing that at some point

These are the models in Aus, all have tachometers
•3dr/5dr YR Hatch
•3dr/5dr YRS Hatch
•3dr/5dr YRX Hatch
•2dr/4dr YRS Sedan
•2dr/4dr YRX Sedan

Anyway, I'm also looking into the YRX, it's a pretty sweet ride.

I've been making a list of mods to do, its not finished, and there are duplicates but of different types/brands (muffler, armrest and facia). I did a screenshot and its attached.

but the main thing to check out is the body kit from ssv.com.au

Is it just me or does that look like a Honda Fit!! Pardon my french.

[Capagotks]

both cars are small and have the egg shape styling, but they would be easy to tell apart. and ive had a sudden change of heart for the liking of the front bumper. i hope the fog lights fit(no pun intended) in it....

Wow, that's, well, umm...not so good looking...

It looks like a fit crossbred with a hand held vacuum, ala the dust devel...

I would like a better look at the midwing tho

Also, a better view of this wing :
