"pimpin'" choices. What to do?
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... Last edited by Capagotks; 06-29-2007 at 08:58 AM. Reason: adding more info |

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

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 |

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....
