Was there a lot of aftermarket support when the Civic had been out only 3 years?

I know the Yaris has been sold overseas for a number of years, but considering that the USDM is new, I think there is pretty good range of product support so far. Give it ten years...

Talking about Yaris potential... and a little off topic as well but,
People haven't put much attention to the
2ZR-FE swap due to the lack of appeal of it's not very impressive performance...

However, this power plant transforms the Yaris completely... and it should be pretty much a drop in swap if you can get a salvaged Scion xD engine and ECU. This should be easy in a couple of years.
The 1.8L will put down up to 125WHP and a very linear 120Tq with the current bolt on mods available (Intake/ exhaust/ UPulley).

I can tell you that people who jumps in for a ride on a twisty road on my car, can't believe what the little bean can do. And I'm not by any means a very skilled driver... just a little above the average I would say.

And I agree with Loren... No need to spend a lot of money on suspension...

$800 Tein Basics Coilovers
$150 TRD sway bar
OE 17" heavy ass Toyota wheels
$400 Azenis RT-615 (215/40/17)
$25 camber bolts

The extra TQ of this engine has no problem moving the heavy ass wheels and tires... But some light weight 16's are on my future plans.
