Canon 5D + 24-105 F4 L IS. The tripod is the important thing in taking the night shots. Point and shoot will do fine as well. :)

I was actually liking the USDM TS version with the 1.8L and 6 speed box. The Vitz is 1.5 and 5 speed only.

To be honest, I didn't exceed 3,500rpm. I don't know why fuel went down that quickly. I will be filling it up soon to see how many km's I get to a tank.

Yarisworld meet in Japan, sure, why not! ::w00t:

and just as I thought I finished, realised there is a JaCK under the passenger seat!!! I have 2 amps to go in, and now have to either remove the jack or wire an amp to the boot!!

I will just like to say that Yarisworld is amazing. I have never seen so many documents on mods for the yaris. There is even a handbook! :)

OH NO!!!! I didn't actually realise. I hope it isn't. I did break a clip though. I broke the one on the right and bent the middle one!! I didn't know that it was that hard to get that top piece off.

looking bad ass bro, whats the difference between the JDM front and American front i dont honestly see a difference

The big difference is the fog lights being integrated into the bumper instead of being mounted in the removable chunk. I think that the JDM version looks a lot cleaner.

Thanks guys. Got 1 door semi-deadend today.

and the bottom grille is far bigger and has a kind of rounded trapezoidal shape which is somewhat reminiscent of the nissan GT-R :laugh:

its weird why jdm speedometer only goes to 180km/h...compare to 200km/h in usa and canada
IllusionX
03-26-2009, 08:03 PM
there may be a law about the 180kmh speedo. just like when the NA speed only went up to 140kmh.

I'm actually surprised the volume knob is on the left side.. as most RHD stereo volume knob is set on the right side....


oh, one question for the OP: Are those tires Bridgestone Potenza RE040's ?

I don't like CVT. I am an old school Manual kind of guy. :)

In Japan, we have a 180km/hr speed limiter.

Volume knob for the stereo? The stereo is aftermarket. I bought it without a stereo.

Not yet. :) Have you ever been??

Ever been to Saitama?

i have. i lived in Omiya in the early 1990's. i guess it has merged w/ some other cities to form the city now known as Saitama. back then, Saitama was just the prefecture.
