Divorce forces me to modify the Yaris - Page 13 - Toyota Yaris Forums

I can take some more shots tomorrow since I gotta work swing shift.

I made out of angle aluminum two 5.5" brackets and mounted them through the floor with a bolt. The middle bolt is right in front of the carbon cannister,think that is what the black box is???? and the drivers side mounts about 8" over,there was a third mount but I cut that part off for the Flowmaster.

I am pretty sure that a canister exhaust would fit right beside this no problems as I only had to cut off 3.75 by like 12" piece to go around the exhaust.

The bumper edge was 3 bolts that went through bottom edge of the bumper.

I will get more shots tomorrow of it from underneath for ya.

I got it on Ebay under Universal Diffuser and it was the listing from think it was Neiland,WA and was $89 and shipping.It is well made,came with stainless hardware. The center two fins can be removed and are in there with built in threaded holes.....the aluminum mounts came from 1" angle piece from home depot cost was like $6.

My hardest part was the sub box was hard to work around,it is rivited to the floor and bolted so it is not gonna come out without several hours work...lol

Her is a few more pictures of the diffuser....was pouring rain so did not crawl under to take good picture of the mounts but you can see the driver side mount in the pictures.

... I have to ask... is there a hole in the bottom of your exhaust pipe to let the rain drain out? lol

bzinn 1 · 02-16-2012, 03:09 AM

LOL....yep there is a hole in the main pipe that the stainless tip is welded to and also one in the low end of the stainless tip as well.

the first few days I had it on it would fill up with a good 6" of water since it just had to pour down rain that next day for like a week solid....it sucked,the pipe inside is grungy and gonna need shop vac attention.

ilikerice · 02-16-2012, 04:22 AM

awesome, thanks for those pics. I like how you made those brackets. Love it.

Spidermandud · 02-16-2012, 04:04 PM

That's awesome. I didn't think it would yield sound deadening. Ballin.

bzinn 1 · 02-16-2012, 09:32 PM

Thanks guys....so far it has been solid but every so often on freeway...My only thing I do not like so far is every so often I get a shimmy in the rear.....I think I am catching some air under the top of it or something.....the car does whip around anyway with the kit and rear fin anyway on freeway the canards pushed the front down and I could feel that but diffuser is in traffic giving me a almost whip like you get when you run camber in the rain....i got no camber...

Gonna make another plate to cut any air going under I think and see how that does.

bzinn 1 · 02-16-2012, 09:35 PM

Another thing...sorry.

I also found that I need to isolate the mounts with a rubber washer where they meet the floor....why...when the sub is on it seems to move the sound wave through anything not dampened with a rubber washer....like the body panels...hatch....liscense plate....

But this is the whole diffuser making a rattle to the sub....lol...it sucks...I will fix it.

Rattles suck

bzinn 1 · 03-01-2012, 10:01 PM

Very stoked.....my buddy is having a photoshoot for his site 206factory in April and is gonna hook me up with the model to do photoshoot in my car and model the Takata's.....buck ass naked..........I am kinda in heaven right now.....a dream come true....hot naked chick in my car....

mr_miles · 03-02-2012, 01:32 AM

When and where? I'll drive up with my gf lol

bzinn 1 · 03-08-2012, 01:26 AM

So far the rear diffuser has been solid,finally did a full tank of gas and no loss of milage,no gains either though...lol

Here is a picture of the rear floor pieces the two small ones are carbon fiber solid sheet in the middle and wood trim rings coated like the sub box and pods in bedliner....The small ones will hold the compressors next to the sub box and the long one will hold the air tank

bzinn 1 · 03-10-2012, 12:47 AM

Ordered a roll of CF vinyl 48" x 120"....jesus.....that was expensive....it better be enough to complete interior parts I want done...

bzinn 1 · 03-14-2012, 11:43 PM

CF Vinyl came today,so I pulled the A pillars out and gave it a try,was much harder than I thought it would be.Main reason was it really needs heat to make it work and stretch.

I ruined the first attempt so I waited for my kid to get home and put him on hair dryer duty.

Took about 90 min to do the first pillar,then about 30 min to match up to the second pillar the pattern....was not easy.....had to make sure the two patterns matched in direction and tilt....

I will take pictures tomorrow once I get some daylight.Total time to do A pillars was little over 4 hours including putting the tweeters back in them.

I am in the middle of moving to a new house so that is probably as far as I will get till after the first unless I get a nice sunny day to do the rest of interior.

bzinn 1 · 03-15-2012, 01:47 AM

Got a couple of night shots to not be too bad with the droid.....

Spidermandud · 03-15-2012, 03:03 AM

Man I love seeing you update this thread. That CF looks really nice in there. You get the rear floor pieces in there?

TOLMACH · 03-15-2012, 11:07 AM

pillars look very good.. pls give us more daylight pics

thanks

bzinn 1 · 03-15-2012, 10:38 PM

Been busy prepping for move to the new house on the 1st so everything has been kinda in limbo.

I gotta build an aluminum frame for the amp to mount to,moving it from the rear seat frame to a bit further back and the airtank floor will be suspended over it,still gotta work out those logistics...lol

I have to say that the CF vinyl although not hard to work with was definatly a two person job to have someone working the hair dryer is a must to get it to stretch cleanly.

I promise shortly after the 1st to have the CF all in adn good pictures....still wont have the airride in till June it looks...I am building an interior for my buddie and for doing it I get free pair of 400cc compressors and most likely he is selling me one of his air tanks for cheap as he is putting in a diffeerant setup in his xB

It has been an amazing build for me to see how the car has evolved,I stuck fairly close to my original list of thinks to mod...I hope by summers end to have the car mostly complete and then probably enjoy it as is for a while and then figure out some paint.

Big items on list are airride.....interior complete....and camber 1.5 in front and 3 in back.

bzinn 1 · 04-10-2012, 01:13 AM

6 of 10 interior pieces CF Vinyl wrapped....still got doors where the cloth is at the top but have to pull my components out and the Xovers off to pull the panels,waiting for a nice sunny day off.

STill have the C pannel on passenger side and the grey panel under the passenger rear side window to go along with the doors...so far so good as long as I do not run out short as I screwed up one A pillar and that ate a bunch of material to redo it right.

Got new house to a very livable start,got some flower beds dug this weekend and the yards mowed.....

Did find a nice huge Oak office desk and a sofa in the back shed in great condition....lol

Well this saturday I will post up some pictures of the interior so far....I cant work on it this week as I am doing two other jobs that I have to complete to get paid....
