2012 mods/Parts
Hello,
Less than 12 hours after purchase of my 5 door SE, I am already to start modding! After some Google-ing, I see that Eibach is looking for owners in the CA area for prototyping springs. Wish I lived there, will someone PLEASE get their '12 over there to them??! CAI-I have added them to cars in the past-a great bolt on mod for a few extra HP's. I had issues with the one I had on my 2007 Matrix and had to install a Greddy Blue for MAF tweaking. It was a headache and I will be looking for a better solution for the Yaris-hopefully one that does not throw the air-fuel mix way out of spec. I imagine that a header for a 2007-2011 might just fit. Anyone brave enough to try? I might take a shot at it with a DC Sports THC4407. Any thoughts on this? I know that the one painful thing about early adopting is waiting for these parts to be manufactured. Looking forward to thoughts and ideas. /randy |

We have the standard K&N setup on our 2012. Now, I did not use the heat shield - we never have because we typically go for a smaller battery and relocated it, and the heat shield is less effective with the battery gone - so I can't say if it would need to be trimmed to fit under the hood, but the rest of the system works perfect.

I test drove a 2012 and spent some time poking around under the hood. Based on what I saw, I believe that 06-11 engine related mods (Blitz supercharger, intakes, exhaust manifolds, etc.) will work without issue. I also have the EWDs and have found that many electrical system mods (like adding cruise control) are the same as for the 06-11.

Reading here that only the body has changed on the 2012 yaris, is it OK to assume that an older model trailer hitch would fit the new model?
I too am still awaiting my 2012 3 door manual black Yaris. This Wed. is scheduled as delivery day.

Unfortunately does not look like it will work.
