View Full Version : GB newcomer with Yaris 1.8SR

Just discovered this :w00t: site

Anyway, I have had my new Black 1.8SR for a week now and I'm lurving it :wub:

I thought the suspension was a bit jittery at 1st but it was more a question of adjusting from my old MGTF.

Now I'm used to it I think the SR does a really good job of getting the balance right between handling and ride.

Having said that however, I'm tempted by a TRD rear sway bar :headbang:

Anyone know if the sway bar can be bought in the UK or is it an import item?

Any tips for an after market air filter?

The Dark Side calls :biggrin:

Hey... you came to the right place!

I think the TRD sway bar is a TRD USA item. At least I have not seen it advertized outside the US.

It is a good investment!

If you buy it from the USA... TRDsparks as noted on the previous post is the place to get it.

E-mail them, they are really helpfull.


In regards to the Air filter... Are you looking for a drop in filter? An exposed (Cone) filter or a CAI?

Welcome, and we like pics. Can you post some?
At this moment i'm waiting fore my TRD sway bar, I have ordered in the USA.
As an aftermarket filter I have a stock replacement K&N air filter.
I like it very much. It feels like more power by lower revs and the fluel economy is a little bit better.

No pics just yet as its been raining all day in the UK :frown:

As soon as I give the car a wash I'll post some up.

Really looking forward to hearing your report on the sway bar.

I notice that it has two settings one firmer than the other?

Think I'll look into the K&N.

Cheers

The TRD sway bar only has one setting. It's not adjustable.
