O yeah, moved out like last week, got a job there, that's why.

Currently live in Hwy 7 & Warden, pretty decent place though.

So, you coming with 2 gold front and 2 black rear? this should be interesting :thumbup:

Hey there toy, it is still a work in progress. I had ordered a UR 23 Sway Bar, Tokico Blues, Progress Sport Springs and Fog Lights from Micro Image.
Unfortunately, the springs are on back order but I received the other items.

So far, only the fogs are installed. I figured it was too much trouble to install the shocks and sway bar only to have to remove them again when the springs are installed.
At the moment, the sway bar and struts/shocks are sitting in my basement.

The fog lights were a little challenging but fun. There were no instructions included in the kit but I was able to piece together enough direction from the DIYs in both the YarisWorld and MicroImage forums. (Big thanks out to members from both communities especially 1NZYaris1, CTScott, and revnull). :respekt: Without your input I would have been lost.

The only obstacle I could not overcome was that I was not sure which wire to tap into to make the included fog light switch illuminate when the other interior lights are on.
Other than that, they are working and looking good.

Since I did not make any headway with the suspension mods I added a bluetooth kit (Alpine KCE-400BT) to my head unit so I can send/receive calls through the car stereo hands free.

All the electrical stuff is within my comfort zone. The suspension mods are all new to me. I am still working up the courage to grow a pair and tackle the sway bar. :redface:

[marcus]

westend meet sweet.....

[toy_toronto]

that makes sense.. but man, that too bad. you would've been done by now.

cool! I think my fog light switch is directly attached to the 12v ACC since the light is always ON whenever the key is ACC swtiched regardless of the interior lights.

sweet. I do like having the in-car BT vs. headset it's much more convenient :)

Like what we talked about before, I did grow a pair and did it myself it is NOT that bad at all. These are all the tools you're going to need to tackle the whole job (springs, struts, sway bar)... just go for it!
