Matt's New 2010 Yaris Hatchback RS

[landrym28]

I took a drive in to Saint John Toyota this morning, and I saw that the new car I ordered arrived.

Traded in my 07 black Yaris sedan for this beast. I should have this in my possession by Wednesday. I'm able to transfer my tires/rims, my aftermarket CD player out of my current sedan and in to my new car!

There's some mods I want to do right off the hop, so I'll keep this thread as an update to my modding process. :drinking:

Fantastic!
Please post more pics once it's in your hands.
I actually love those factory wheels....
Congrats!:w00t:

Nice car, nice color. I wish they would sell these spoiler kit over here. :thumbup:

[devinlamothe]

I still haven't seen a new RS where I am yet. The local Toyota dealer seems to have given up on the Yaris, and all they advertise now is the Venza and Prius.

Nice color! Its like a meteorite metallic and a black sand pearl had a baby. Glad to see you out of that sedan and into the hatch! :biggrin:

[landrym28]

Thanks fellas!

I'm glad I'll be part of the hatchback club! There just seems to be so much more that can be done, mod wise, with the hatch as oppose to the sedan. When I told them I wanted that car, they didn't have that "oh, why get that when for the same price, you could have a corolla" type of attitude. Upon doing the search, they found 3 in Atlantic Canada, all of which were the same color. My first color choices were black and white, but I was willing to settle for this color, as I didn't want to have to wait forever for it to arrive. This color has grown on me! :thumbsup:

I was able to pick up my car on Thursday this past week! I must say, It's quite a difference between the sedan and the LB, driving wise. Of course, maybe it's just because I went from an 07 to a 2010.

I'll be going in next week to get my old tires/rims and radio switched over.

Here's a few more pictures I took today. They're taken with my video camera, so the quality isn't as good.

Mods coming later! :biggrin:

[WeeYari]

Congrats.

So this explains why you've suddenly been active on the forum again. You dropped off the face of the earth for the longest time.

(lol and the iconic Canadian trademark in the cupholder)

[landrym28]

I think the main reason why I had dropped off the face of the earth before is because for 2 or 3 years, I didn't do a single thing, mod wise, to the sedan.

Here's hoping this time around I'll be around alot more, and I won't fall off the face of the earth.

It's funny, because I took the car off the lot, and the first place I went to was Tim Hortons! :thumbsup:

[CliffB]

Nice. I love that color!:thumbsup:

[thebarber]

welcome back

time for a drop and rims

[landrym28]

welcome back

time for a drop and rims

Getting my tires & rims switched over from my other car..should be on by next week. I think it'll look good with the car color. The drop should be coming soon..hopefully with in the next month or so.

I got her tinted today! A few pictures up later, hopefully! :biggrin:

[Kioshi]

glad to see you back and on the hatchback side >:)

how much tint did you end up doing?

[toy_toronto]

I got her tinted today! A few pictures up later, hopefully! :biggrin:

Sweet RS! We got ours tinted the same day :biggrin:

I just went 35% metallic tint film all around. Lifetime warranty (scratch/fade resistant).


.

[landrym28]

I ended up going Limo (5%) on the back 3 windows. Kept the front ones un-tinted. With the back ones actually tinted, it's dark enough that it almost looks like it's tinted in the front as well.

I got it done at Car-rizma motorsports here in Saint John. $180 taxes inc. I thought it was a good deal, considering I paid close to $340 on my other car. Pics coming soon!

:biggrin: When I first got my sedan, I was pretty much anti-hatchback. After 4 years, I guess I just wanted a change. I still like the sedan, but I figured I'd at least try the hatchback.

Here it is tinted:

I won't be able to get a few interior shots until Saturday, but I'll grab a few then :thumbsup:

[landrym28]

Here are a few more shots taken today. My digital camera is on the fritz, so I had to use my video camera to snap the pictures.

[thebarber]

autotragic again, eh?

[landrym28]

Yep..the only models of the RS they had in the Maritimes were auto...didn't want to have to wait for them to get a car in from out of the Maritimes.

[JBougie]

I am really going to have to resist the urge to trade my sedan in on a hatch when it's paid off at the end of this year .... I think I just fell in love. lol

[nazier]

looking nice, where is the mags to finish it up now,

[landrym28]

Here are a few pictures of the Sedan that I had. All these were taken on my Blackberry, so the quality isn't too great.

Here's a few more shots of the new LB. I really haven't done any mods to it yet, other than tint. I'm still saving up money for some things.

Rims, a drop, and some Lamin-X film are the next mods on the list.

[landrym28]

Bought some new wheels & tires off Kijiji the other day...$300..pretty decent. Here are a few crappy Blackberry shots.

Tire size is 205/50R16's. More info to come. I like having the wider tire, as oppose to the 185. It sucks having a nice "full body" car, and yet, it looks like I have popsicle stick like tires.

I'll take a look today to see if there's some sort of part number underneath.
