At last, a sunny day today, washed the car with my buddy, pulled out the ol' 350D and snapped away :biggrin:

Two very nice shots to start things off:

You have leather seats? Lucky bastard........

Im like cravin to smoke ur tail lights now. haha i just think black tail lights are hot.

[eTiMaGo]

leather seats are niiice.

The back end still needs work, JDM rear bumper and LED tail lights will be there soon ;) I'm not a big fan of smoked lights though, but painitng the inside back is definitely to be done!

[Yaris2nv]

Great looking machine :w00t:

What kind of wheels are those? They really set your car off, well so does everything else.

[eTiMaGo]

Thanks!

The wheels are Works Emotion CR Kai in 18x7.5, 42mm offset. They do suit the car very well :wub:

[ECHOKnight2000]

Very nice pictures! I like the wheels as well! :coolpics:

Wow thanks for the comments, guys, let me answer some of your questions.
Most of the technical details you can find in my garage:

http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/funkygarage.php?do=garage&id=1546

Tires are Falken 215/35R18, suspension are Tein Super Street with a drop of about 1.5"

ChinoCharles, I know I am gorgeous. Unfortunately, I'm sorry my sexual preferences are straight, so you and I can never be :wink:

HKS exhaust discussion and quick video clip can be found on this thread:

http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2020

Yes, I'm in Bangkok, about 25 minutes away from Autocar :wink: (that shop is the mecca of Yaris aftermarket parts, btw)

Yes, I need to lose weight, and get a tan :biggrin:

And finally, how much was spent? Well, quite a bit I must admit. Though in my defense I was originally saving up for a secondhand Impreza, but prefered a new car to a 10-year old one. And since the downpayment on this baby was nothing too extreme, it left me with a sizeable mod budget :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

Ultimate Yaris? Oh no I don't think so, not yet anyway... there's still so much left to be done (as Tim "The Toolman" Taylor would say, MORE POWER!)

PS I almost forgot, some engine bay photos and info here:

Hey finally posted some pids dude. Thats badass. I still need to get you a shipping quote for the intake.

You should switch seats to complete your interior.

thats a tite yaris:thumbsup:
i seen cars almost everywhere with cr kai's and it still tickles my fancy

i was wondering what falkens are those? i can't seem to find any falkens that have 235/35/18, they only have 225/35/18 then skips to 245/35/18
unless they have different sizes in thailand

[Ryosuke]

Very nice and phat ride man! Keep the good work :smile:

Oops this is embarassing, they are 215, not 235!!!

[as400g33k]

Cool car, man.

Looks like the Thai-built Yarises have a different radio aerial than the rest of the world.

[eTiMaGo]

yeah there's a lot of small difference I notice from the north american ones on this site, aerials here are all the stubby short type. Also the brake lights use LEDs, but the design is not the same as the Japan-spec ones:

[Ryosuke]

Speaking about tail lights, what do you think of theese ??

http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/8630/toyotanewyarisledchromect4.jpg

[Black Yaris]

if you were to run a 225/30/18 it would be the exact same circumference as the stock tires

[Chris07LB]

http://img148.imageshack.us/img148/8630/toyotanewyarisledchromect4.jpg


Would look even better if they were smoked. Im not a fan of chrome. How much and where? :thumbsup:

[eTiMaGo]

A bit too bling as they are, but open them up and paint the non-reflective parts black or red, you may have a winner there!

[hasher22]

i was thinkin the same thing!! i hate chrome tail lights

[Ryosuke]

Well I thought the same, dont like the chrome too much and I think I have too much chrome things in my car with the wheels and handles. They are avaiable here in Venezuela at some places for about $280 but I dont know if they come smoked or black in the future

[ChinoCharles]

They aren't bad, and they would definitely look better smoked and/or painted.

I'm getting the "these belong on a beater" feel from them though. The wrong tail lights on the right car can make a 2007 look like a 1998 really fast.

[emanansala.com]

the cleanest and nicest yaris i have seen by far !! that car is awsome !!

[Jem_hadar]

Love the white rims! Freakign sick! Man, I could really go for getting white ones now that I see how cool they look...

[eTiMaGo]

I've been looking through your site and I gotta say that's one heck of a compliment :biggrin:

[H2XcapePod]

Nice ride...that wouldn't happen to be a shift-light behind the steering wheel is it?

[eTiMaGo]

thanks :biggrin:
It would happen to be a sequential LED shift light thingamajig, much cleaner looking than a big ol tach. First light comes on at 3000RPM, my shift point for normal driving, and the others until 6000RPM when the last big red one and the buzzer come on. Buzzer's a bit annoying though, thankfully it can be disabled.

[lowkey]

Very Nice!

[mcdaddy]

hi i'm new here..
nice ride.. i love those green goblins though!!

two thumbs-up!!

wow~ sweet ride u got!!!

:bow: Esti qui yé Écoeurant!! Like i said in french !! It is one of the beautiful Yaris i ever seen !! I have to move in Tailand just to customize my car!!:bow: :bow:

But you have to buy cars at higher price esp. sport cars :headbang:

[eTiMaGo]

very true... if a car here is not manufactured in thailand, there is like a 300% import tax.. At least decent cars are made here, not like our poor neighbours down in malaysia, who have pretty crappy local made cars :biggrin: A Yaris there costs around US$25,000

But for Yaris owners, Thailand is heaven :biggrin:

[mhero]

For all modifiers, Thailand is heaven ....

Anyway, I wish we had Mitsu Eclipse just like the US market.
One of my dream cars!!!

[eTiMaGo]

Just a little teaser, car's at the workshop for round 2 of upgrades :biggrin:
Featuring the likes of Pioneer... Boston Acoustics... Bride...

Should be done about this time tomorrow!

[ChinoCharles]

Oh you bastard, if you got Bride seats... can't wait to see this.

[eTiMaGo]

Gonna take them an extra day to get it all done :(

But this little improvement is ready:

http://www.etimago.com/yaris/DSC00406.jpg

:biggrin:

And yes, a good wash is in order too...

[eTiMaGo]

A few more pics to whet your appetite...

Here comes the bride....

Stripped and messy!!!

Pioneer head unit lovin' (with ipod adapter and vehicle dynamics processor... fun!)

http://www.etimago.com/yaris/DSC00410.jpg

Told you guys I'd get rid of that rear bumper...

http://www.etimago.com/yaris/DSC00408.jpg

Sound system is 90% done, they tested it without the second amp and subwoofer, and it's already sounding goooood... :wub:

[ChinoCharles]

:drool:

[ItsMyDaily]

info on where we can pick up that rear bumper please???!!

cars looking good by the way.

[eTiMaGo]

:drool: indeed... I can't wait to see it finished too :biggrin:

bumper's straight from japan :wink: also needs the fog lamps and plate lights separately of course....

[Yaris_PR]

:eyebulge: :bow: No words...

[ItsMyDaily]

:drool: indeed... I can't wait to see it finished too :biggrin:

bumper's straight from japan :wink: also needs the fog lamps and plate lights separately of course....

yes but what was your source?!?!?! hmmm I pay you, you buy one more then ship it to me :biggrin:

[eTiMaGo]

Oooh, it's the local parts store/workshop here that brings in all these goodies. They do have a couple more in stock, but I'm not sure if they have it in the dark blue.

Also I'm pretty sure you might need to do some modification to the back end of the body of the car, if I am not mistaken the USDM hatchbacks have a deeper "butt" due to some extra cross-bar there.

All together including the lights and wiring, the rear bumper costs close to US$400, and although it's not all that heavy, I doubt the shipping cost would be so cheap!!!

The shop here also has the RS front bumper and side skirts, too... :wink: I won't be putting them on though, I kinda like my current front :biggrin:

[mhero]

Is that "Aczon" amp.??

[eTiMaGo]

Is that "Aczon" amp.??

ahha yeah it's not some big brand amp, but I don't usually listen to music very very loud, it should do the job just fine :laugh:

[mhero]

When I was upgrading my audio system. I had choices between
Aczon & Soundstream . . . I chose Soundstream to go with Boston
speakers ... and they work fine

May I ask you the name of the workshop? I have problem with my sub
cabinet . . I believe my system could produce way better sound if I
modify the cabinet

[Black Yaris]

eTiMaGo what did you do with your old tail lights? Would you be willing to sell them... I am just looking for something different than the norm, and I doubt anyone in the U.S. has Thai taillights

[eTiMaGo]

autocar, right next to seacon :wink: Their mechanics are very impressive.

Thanksss!!!

[xCookiE]

what is the workshop you got the front and rear bumper from? i want to contact them and see how much it will cost.. it looks soo stunning on your car!

[eclip5e]

Looks real good. We don't get the 4dr hatch here.

[eTiMaGo]

Thanks! And we don't get the 2 door hatch here, at least not yet :biggrin:

[hasher22]

lol

eclipse "We don't get the 4dr hatch here."

Etimago "And we don't get the 2 door hatch here"

WE HAVE BOTH IN AUST!! AND TACH!!! LOL

[eTiMaGo]

Oh shut up, Bruce! :biggrin:

[roycaroyca]

what gauges do you have on dash

[R0ME0]

Etimago, sick ride! I LOVE IT! What kind of Tein suspension are you running? Springs or Coilovers? I got a bit confused when looking at yours.

[eTiMaGo]

They're a spring+damper set, but due to the suspension setup of the car only the front is in a coilover configuration, the back springs are kept separtate from the damper, this is normal. It's the TEIN Super Street set to be precise.

[Mister Kill]

Tres belle auto !!! J'aime beaucoup ! Sobre et racé

Very nice Car !!! I love it !

[FiestaDUBed]

Loving your car there. Im planning to get one but i dont think its sometime soon cause i need to find someone who'd wanna buy my stupid fraud (Ford). Your car is my inspiration. Gonna get a white one with black 18s chrome lips deep dish. My next project.
