Joust bought one
Just bought a 2 dr hatchback 5-spd.
It's red! But not much choices here. Needs new tires, the damn things is bald :( It has 65K miles. I'm going to give it an over all inspection of everything. I plan to replace the followings: Plugs. What kind should I get? Brakes, all around. Where is a good place to buy parts online? Fuel filter air filter fresh air filter Tires. I thinking to buy some aluminum rims with it. Where is a good place to buy tires and rims other than Tirerack? What else should I replace? Thanks guys. Go Yaris! |

Just go with something like a K&N drop in or else an OEM one for air filter.
Fuel filter is part of the in-tank fuel pump assembly and rarely is changed. Spark plugs shouldn't need to be changed at 65k, but if you feel the need go with NGK Iridiums. Might want to look into the cabin filter DIY. Your lungs and sinuses will thank you. The DIY is much cheaper than OEM. Toyotapartszone.com for the OEM brakes. They are cheapest, but a little slow on shipping. Look at the lighting stickied thread for thinking about upgrading to LED in cabin bulbs. Is it a manual or auto? If manual change the transmission oil to a quality synthetic of 75-90. Verify whether or not the few safety recalls have been completed with your local dealer. Be prepared to provide your VIN.
