Just got my 09 Yaris 3D LB Burgundy. Pretty much got all the upgrade packages with an upgraded 17" wheels. It's such a smooth car to drive loving it since the day I picked it up. I just got it tinted the other day 3m 20 on the back 35 on the sides and 60 on the front with the new ceramic material. Loving this forum and I don't know which way to go performance or saving that gas. With 106hp I think it's a little low for what I want it to do so I might go towards performance. I want to go to places like Vegas without having it to stress out going up those hills etc. If by myself I think it would be ok or maybe even with another person so that's two total driving uphills and what not. Do you guys think the stock HP on the Yaris is good enough for me? Just getting some info from you guys on what you think. Love this car will post pics up soon. Only had it two days and spending money left and right and looking sexy.:headbang:

Hahahaha I'm pretty much spent for a while just a little here and there to make it tad bit more sexy. Although would like feedback from someone to my question regarding my traveling. Would you think I need to upgrade certain parts to give it that extra HP to make handle wherever I go?

Thanks for the greetings! Wow Canoga Park sweet deal. Also I'm not very knowledgeable in cars I don't think I wanna do an engine swap, but if there are other mods that will increase the hp I would love to know. Also considering a kit to make it look meaner. Overall I love this car!!

Hahahah luckily I'm not that into racing or power I just want it to look nice and just a bit more horsepower for me to get where I want to go especially vegas because I go there alot so I would love to bring myself and my friends but with the way it is right now I doubt it will have enough power to make it with a full load.

I drove to Vegas a couple of times with 3 passangers and all our stuff in the trunk
and never had a problem with the hills. The car does fine and still got pretty good
gas mileage.

Thank you Brian for finally giving me an answer to my prayers. Hahahaha! Anyways thats awesome to hear. When I got it all I hear is its too weak and from only having 106 that's pretty low to me. I need to do my homework on parts and stuff. I'm just looking for a nice body kit, mods to boost the hp a bit, and nice sounding exhaust (I think that goes hand in hand with the hp mods). I will definately look at Garm's shop!

If you're looking to mod the car, you're definitely in the right place. I think I'm in a minority, here, still driving stock, well for now ;)

Do post pictures when you can. People here in the forum love pictures of Yarii , imagine that ;) :smile:
