Finished my install ........Finally - Page 2 - Toyota Yaris Forums

I've got that same laptop, I love it! The red looks good, I'm doing blue in my girlfriends car, this weekend we're going to paint the rest of the trim pieces. Why are these cars so addictive to mod? I'm installing a shark-fin and led-lights this weekend too, pending the parts arrival. I'll try to do a write up for the led-lighting kit. DarkYaris, that would look pretty sick if you had some red led lights underneath there. My total cost should be under 30 bucks, I'll let you guys know next week how things turned out.

Overall I love it

It looks great, it's not so heavy, it's more than fast enough for everything even some gaming, battery life is surprisingly good (close to two hours watching a DVD, just what I need). And the price was not too gouging (compared to the asus lamborghini ones, close to double the price and not thaaat much better)

The screen is very nice and high-res (1680x1050), but the viewing angle could be better, though. And I had to take it for servicing one time for a couple of days, motherboard died and needed to be replaced. Apart from that, no complaints

If you're looking to upgrade, the Acer Service centers in BKK have an ex-demo Ferrari 5005NWLHi going for 65,900 Baht (30K+ off retail). They have my 8204WLMi (still the fastest lappie) going for 42,300! - I paid 107K in Feb '06.. Needless to say, my next notebook will be ex-demo from Acer

Garmin you say.... I was looking for a similar type unit for my Blazer (used to make/find a ton of trails in the catskills that would have been nice to map). I'm gonna have to look into that one, as for the yaris I have a TomTom G0910.

Edit:
Back on thread topic; the install looks great. I'd rate it an 8/8.5 (outta 10). The only the reason why i wouldnt rate it a 9.5/10 is because I'd prefer to have the center match the dash...

hell-of-a job

!!

Black Yaris · 10-18-2006, 04:02 PM

I was debating on either going with a blue to match the little dots in the seats or all black... after seeing the red I think it may look better broken up with a little blue.... but I am going ALL black everything on the outside :)

Forget who did the writeup, but there was a DIY online for a Yaris, they took a Sharpie and colored in all the blue dots black....cheapest mod ever!

hey why not, we cant call you Black Yaris*****

*****= dash of blue inside.

They did it where the contour of the seats was outlined, so it actually made an awesome looking design. See If I can find it really quick.

Deck is a Pioneer double din DVD/CD . Pioneer 6-1/4" , Pioneer 6 X 9 in the rear, 2 - 10" Rockford Fosgates, Driven by 300 watt punch amp, speakers by a 300 watt power amp, 1 Farad Capacitor.
Took so long as fist time apart one does not wish to bust anything up, and than paint and re install.

You mentioned 6x9's in the rear, Where are they mounted? Is it not in any of your pics

interesting... and strange coincdence that you post this now, I am currently trying to revive my hard drive which just died all of a sudden..

But then the new Santa Rosa chips just came out, but so far only on pretty low-end models, might be better to wait for a better specc'ed one...

Razr · 05-13-2007, 03:52 AM

Depends what you're upgrading from I suppose..

For me all Santa Rosa adds is 800Mhz FSB (there's stuff all diff between 533 and 667, so it's safe to assume that 800 won't be revolutionary) and 802.11n (which is still non-finalized spec, and I couldn't use the extra Wi-Fi speed anyway). Not worth it for me - think I'll wait for AMD's Fusion or the Monteniva platform, and some decent DX10 graphics for my next lappie..
