New german member with a TS

[RedVitz]

Hello boys and girls,

I already read for a while, but no writing. And now i want to introduce me. My name is Philipp, i'm 19 years old and come from Germany. I'm a trainee to a car mechanic by Toyota :biggrin:.
I have a Yaris TS XP9 prefacelift since 1.5 years. Don't have many changes yet, only some little things, but it comes next year :smile: D2 brake: 6 piston with 286mm rotors is ordered and D2 RS coilovers still comes. Now some pictures of my car:

Very nice!
Not going to lie, i love that rising sun you have on your roof, and I'm not even Japanese. ha

[YAR1S]

AWESOME ROOF!
and that move over sticker is funny.

[nazier]

beautiful, like the mags,

[CtrlAltDefeat]

very nice! The move over sticker is awesome...

[BluYrs]

Nice! I'm not a fan of black wheels, but they suit your car well.

Also, I thought TS only came with keyless locks/start and automatic A/C?

[aucorium]

looking good !!! like the black wheel setup !

[Thirty-Nine]

Very nice! Where in Germany are you located?

[RedVitz]

What size tires are those?

205/45R17 It's standard size and the rims are 6.5Jx17.

Very nice! Where in Germany are you located?

[advocate]

looks great so far, I love that you've gutted out the back.

Now drop it!!! The stock springs are a lift kit if you're gutted since they're made for the stock weight.

I know, it's like a tractor :biggrin: but i'm looking for new coilovers. I think the D2 RS are rocking :biggrin:

[2009BBPliftback]

[RedVitz]

Thx for the nice comments :thumbup:

I'm in the process of install oil temperature, oil pressure and water temperature gauges in front of the steering wheel... when it's finished, i report

( somebody who has a ts, he knows it's not so easy to install oil temperature and oil pressure sensors, because of the oil filter, the ts hasn't got a oil filter cartridge, so you can not use an adapt for the sensors...:wink: )

I know, that's not easy :wink: But if you know how it's very easy :laugh:

So, just painted my ''Vitz'' logo in black matt and the ground plate in body colored 3P0, in Germany it calls ''volcano red''...

[candy_red]

Wow man!

How much did that set you back and where did you get it from?

I want to get either tein or D2 coilovers!

Do the D2s have top mount with camber adjustment?

Very nice colour!

[henry33]

totally love your car
if you travel true the Bratislava sometimes let me know I want to see it in real !

THX :biggrin:

I get it from a German dealer: AJR performance and the price was very hot :wink: ... yes, the D2S have top mount with camber adjustment in the TRACK version, 'll take the D2S :wink: the best coilovers in my opinion :headbang:


man you are crazy :)
totally love your car

Thx u too :wink: Crazy? nope, a 8 piston brake with 356mm discs, that would be crazy :biggrin:

[Black Yaris]

Ich habe für die europäische Scheinwerfern für eine 2002 Rav4 gesucht. Möchten Sie in der Lage zu finden, mir einen Satz?

[tk-421]

Welcome to the forums! That's a very nice looking Yaris. :thumbsup:

[RedVitz]

Hi guys

This morning I installed the Tein S. Tech springs and I am very happy with the lowering, just right, not too deep and drives great. Lowering is about 4.8cm.
The D2 brake system fits very good into the Yaris, but the bake caliper is very wide and would rub against the rim, so I must order some wheel spacer .. Next Saturday the D2 will be installed at last ... and then many photos will following

Original TS Springs

[33OH]

Looks awesome, much better!

[MadMax]

I'm from the Free State of Thuringia :cool: In the mittle of the Thuringian Forest

Cool! I visited the Thüringer Wald in 2002 for a big motorcycle rally when I was living in Belgium. There are some nice roads in that region, and very beautiful countryside!

That's a sharp looking RS, I wish we got them here in the States. Every time I go to Europe I see many cars that would be great to have here.

man you are crazy :)
totally love your car

Hey, I didn't know we had someone from Bratislava on here! I used to live there as well, from 1993-94. I loved it there, and it would be much cooler to drive a Yaris than the VW vans we had!

Howdy to both of y'all from Texas! http://www.texasguntalk.com/forums/images/smilies/texas.gif

Cheers! M2

oh thanks for link, did it need rewiring or just plug it in? also would you take some night shots with the lights on so can check it. because im either gonna get eyelids or change it to angel lights.

[Soner]

I like your car. Looks :w00t:

As others mentioned, the roof idea is pretty sweet.

It's personal preference but I would have chosen different set of wheels. Black wheels on your car just looks so blah...

[aucorium]

look great buddy !!!!!!!

[RedVitz]

Hi guys,
on Saturday i got back two parts of my Yaris from the nice post woman :biggrin: ... namely the upper left and right glove compartment cover. They were laminated with real carbon fibre :biggrin:

I like it :biggrin::thumbup:

Above is the right and below the left... the left was prepared for the oil temp, oil pressure and water temp gauges

I like what you have done. The question was asked......reference the lights, were they plug and play or did you have to do any modifications to make those headlights work?

[RedVitz]

Hi, yes the headlights are more or less plug and play ... 's about what you want to connect... the angel eyes and the 3 leds you need to connect seperate, the rest is plug and play
