What are you going to be doing with your car?

mrbond · 08-19-2009, 01:37 PM

Also, here's a thread of my car for you to look at. I've got Tanabe DF210's, and my wheels are 17" in case you wonder: http://yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=20912

Hey thx mr.bond, your car looks amazing! Well i really want to Auto-x it and im planning on taking it to the strip once i get the bottle hooked up and im shooting for low 15's, hehe. But so here is the deal, i got the TRD rear sway bar today and TRD springs. I didnt realize how low the yaris got when people are in it

Im actually heading up to the store here in a few to buy an autometer mini tach and im painting my engine cover green.

jekqmb · 08-19-2009, 06:08 PM

Are there any custom center pods you can buy for tachs?

mrbond · 08-19-2009, 06:09 PM

A small word of advice: when you take the back seats out of the car, the rear automatically raises up by almost an entire inch. If you look at my back wheels in that link I posted, you'll see that the tires are basically in line with the top of the wheel well. Now it's quite a bit higher than that. Just something to look for.
Btw, did you get my pm?

Yeah, look up "triple c, TRD" in the search menu. There's a member on here that's going to start making some of these, and I think they'd suit your needs pretty damn well.

O ya i just got the PM, ill let ya know here tonight, im supposed to hear back from this kid who is supposed to buy my 60# injectors for $150.00 this evening.

is that rear bench really that heavy? i've been wanting to take out my rear seat since i got my car and just haven't gotten around to it but, if it makes that much of a difference then i won't do it until i get my coilovers and can adjust for the difference, if i do it at all...

mrbond · 08-19-2009, 06:26 PM

Well, I have the 60/40 seat, and they came out to about 115 pounds total. I don't know what the solid rear bench weighs, though, since they can't recline or slide forward and back.

cali yaris · 08-19-2009, 07:54 PM

^ the bench seat is a little lighter, but it's still a significant difference. I measured 100 pounds even with the 60/40 plus the rear seat belts.
