yaris RE-build

well, its fitting that on the 5 year anniversary of purchase the yaris is back on the road after being put mostly back to stock

current mods:

enkei rpf1's 15x7, +41, black
205-50-15 toyo proxes4's
eibach sportline lowering springs
ultra racing 23mm rear sway bar
candian RS leather steering wheel
USDM S shift knob
canadian tire stainless exhaust tip
K&N panel filter

important to-do list:
swap brakes (i cooked the current set lapping in april)
check front suspension for blown struts (likely from off-course excursions from lapping in april)

So if you had not gone lapping in april (say May or June instead), the brakes and strut5s would be fine, yes?

thank you, sir

Took apart the front passenger strut....not blown....and after a quick drive, it seems as though taking it apart and putting it back together fixed the noise.

I tried to put on my NST pulley, but my lower alternator bolt is rounded....that's now on my fix-it list...

Also cleaned the MAF ....hopefully that helps the P0171 i got yesterday on the way to picking up my daughter from school...

Adam...I'm confused. You de-modded most of it not too long ago, then re-modded some, then went completely stock, right?
