Hi leowhy, my name is soh, nice to know there another malaysian in these forum.:thumbsup:

[tlsoh]

which part of malaysia are you from ?

[leowhy]

hi, nice to meet u too...

i stay & work in Penang.
just got my Yaris 1.5G (Dark Blue Mica) on 2nd Jan...
So far, i noticed only a few Yaris on the road, 2 Red, 1 Silver & 1 Orange... all S-Spec... (T_T)....

anyway, where r u from? :)

From Klg, Selangor. Yaris's for my wife but most of d time I'm driving. Got d car on end May'06. If not because of my wife i won't buy such an expensive car for such a small size. Anyway t car is 1.5S ( Pale Orange ), up to today there not many Yaris car around Klg & even K.L. Most of them said it a nice car but very expensive.

[eTiMaGo]

RM90K+ for a Yaris there, right? No wonder proton and perodua will always be best sellers :laugh:

[leowhy]

well, i've drove a Proton Wira Aeroback 1.5GLi for more than 7 years & although it didn't give any major problem, the assembly parts wear & tear + all kinds of wierd sounds during driving are just quite unbearable... :(

agreed that Yaris Hatchback is on the "enonomy/cheapest" in the toyota cars lineup & its being charged over expansive here in my country, but the over all assembly quality is more than satisfactory to me...

i'm not going to start any kind of fruitless complaints/debates on overprice, proctective policy etc... thus... peace... :)

to add...
hi Loh, its still rare in Malaysia but on the positive side, this will give it the "eye turning factor"... :D

[Black Yaris]

RM90K+ for a Yaris there, right? No wonder proton and perodua will always be best sellers :laugh:

What is that about 26,000 USD?

[eTiMaGo]

What is that about 26,000 USD?

roughly, yeah... there's like a 300% import tax on cars, so only the locally produced cars are affordable. And they still sell 20 year old designs that probably would fail so badly in any real crash test :laugh:

It's the same here, but Toyota, Honda and other Japanese companies manufacture here, so there's a lot more choice for affordable cars.

But anyway, I'm happy to see you guys going for the Yaris, it will definitely be a rare sight, so make'em look good!

[leowhy]

well, i intend to let it keep the original look for few years before i start to "add stuff" hahaha... frankly, i'm not a big fan for modding... but since i get the 1.5G version which is without any factory install body-kit, ya... i might survey for it in the future...
The only concern i have is since this vehicle is rare (at least currently), thus the availability & choices of such add-ons will be very limited...

[eTiMaGo]

Well if you want anything from the country up north, let me know :wink:

By the way, just a quick question, looking at the 3D preview on Toyota Malaysia's site, it looks like the Yaris there has the US-style thick rear bumper, is it actually like that?

[leowhy]

i can't actually compare... will photo help explain?
but if u visit the "BLUE YARIS" section in this forum, there are many many Yaris photos there, both 2 doords & 4 doors hatchbacks...
and the one offered in malaysia is 99% identical...
hope this can help... :)
BTW, anything speecial about it? look nicer? uglier? stronger? weaker? :)

[eTiMaGo]

Only difference is the rear bumper's depth. Meaning that rear bumper skirts for Japan/Thailand/Europe models would not fit on these bumpers wihtout modification.

It's a bit difficult to tell, though, best is to take a picture from the side of the car.

For example..

Small butt model:

Look how much it sticks out below the tail lights

[Black Yaris]

Yeah we do have pretty fat asses here in North America

[leowhy]

i see... in that case, the one intro in malaysia belong to the "big butt" type... :P

Well that depends on what add-ons are u talking about, last saturday i just installed Pivot raizin Volt Stabilizer ( Blue ) and Spark Earth, maybe next will will install V-Cool ( t weather in Klg Valley nowadays is hott ).

[eTiMaGo]

In Hatyai? I really have no idea, I think Bangkok would have the most choices :biggrin:

But you might want to find a Toyota delearship or service center...

[leowhy]

to Loh...
wah... u already got the 1.5S (the suppose sportier version) & still wanna add stuff so soon!!??
i thought your Yaris belongs to your wife & you are only her driver? :P
she allow you to mod? :P
haha... :P

to etimago,
i do interested in knowing whether Yaris offered in Thailand is having eletric control retractable side mirrors with signal lamps? how about autocruise?
issit ever possible we install these 2 options?

thanks... :respect:

[eTiMaGo]

The side mirrors are offered on higher spec models. I'm not 100% sure about the auto retract but they have the turn signal repeaters. Cruise control I don't remember seeing in any options list. Not very popular here, almost impossible to find a steady speed on any road :biggrin:

[tlsoh]

It's my wife car, but maintenance & upgrade she leave it to me.

[tlsoh]

Hi eTiMaGo i did check on toyota thailand website, took few address and contact number of toyota service centre in hatyai, but haven't call t centre to check. In malaysia toyota SC doesn't sell accessories, only spare parts. How about thailand toyota SC?

[eTiMaGo]

Well since some of the stuff you are looking for are standard on thai cars, it is possible they have them in stock as spare parts :wink:

[smurf]

hi all..............
finally i found some yaris pal here......
i'm from sabah........
from what i know.....malaysia's yaris r inported from thailand....all the spec r same as thailand.......

[eTiMaGo]

Selamat Datang :biggrin:

Yeah it really confused me as well that the Yaris in Malaysia has the "big butt"... Maybe the crash test restrictions are more strict there...

[smurf]

etimago.......
wat is the price for the c-one bodykit there...?????
fiber or PU...???

[tlsoh]

Hi, smurf your 1.5S cost more due to shpping cost, whereas peninsular malaysia can come in by road from thailand.

Hi, eTiMaGo to clear your confused don't u know that " big butt " can with stand more impact if you are knock from back. :w00t: :clap:

[leowhy]

looking for 17" rims eh? while u are in KL & still not finding one for your likings, then i guest u might have to plan & do some travelling (to JB/s'pre)...

u may have a chat with member cleong here as he's also an active member in the s'pore's yaris club which is quite active + there's a few modding enthusiast among them too... :w00t:

i'm sure they will have those lubangs & perhaps u may able to find the rims of ur liking there... :biggrin:

Hi all! I just joined the forum. Nice to meet other Yaris owners in Malaysia. I'm from KL and I have a red Yaris S.

Would be great if the Malaysian owners could come together and start something...

Well we know you're from Penang, it is a fair whack to get down here. But you've probably not seen this many Yarii gathered before...... :P

[Safariworld]

Cleong, are you guys joining a open track session at Pasir Gudang or have you rented the place? I would really like to meet up. But its quite a drive from KL for a day trip. Anyhow, what time will you be there?

Well we know you're from Penang, it is a fair whack to get down here. But you've probably not seen this many Yarii gathered before...... :P

[cleong]

We are joining an open track session that runs from 1-5pm. Assuming no last minute pull-outs we should have about 5 or 6 Yaris turning up, plus a few miscellaneous cars. You need shoes and helmet if you want to track your car. It should cost RM$120 for the 4 hour session.

We are meeting up at about 9am to cross the border into Malaysia, so do give us an sms if you're coming down.

[Safariworld]

Cleong, have you guys considered coming to Sepang for an open track day? I recall that the Vios Owners Club Singapore did that about a month ago. There is actually an upcoming Sepang track day for July. However, its organised by a 3rd party and not the track itself hence the fee is slightly inflated. Heres the link:

http://www.hpcevents.com/register.htm

BTW, is there a Singapore Yaris club forum?

[cleong]

yes.... www.yarisclub.com.sg

Sepang's a bit big already, maybe when we've done Pasir Gudang we'll try Sepang next.

Smurf, you are in Sabah, right? I think they had the audio cover since the time their car appeared on Xtremekar magazine. When I was at the shop, they asked me if I wanted to buy it but I'm sticking with the factory audio. They're quite helpful actually. I bought the RS rear bumper reflector from them

[leowhy]

how's the trash out in pasir gudang? :biggrin:

[cleong]

The day started out wet, grey and gloomy, but when we got to the track after lunch, the track was bone-dry, it was as cool as we can expect for a tropical afternoon, and it was all good to go for the track!

In a bid to avoid stressing the car too much I planned only 5 laps each time I went out in addition to one warm up lap and one cooldown lap. I found the car suffered from a lot of corner entry understeer, maybe I was just entering corners way too fast. But the brakes held up and felt good for the duration of each run.

I also paced a Suzuki Swift Sport down the straight and found that the Yaris doesn't give up very much in terms of straightline speed. As my 5 laps were up, I didn't stay with him long enough to see if its cornering was better than mine, but I would feel that would be the case.

I got a little bit faster max speed than Marc (nurburgring) (I recorded a 154kph down the back straight). However I suffered from pretty bad understeer which resulted in quite a lot of front tire scrub. Didn't really cross my mind to reduce tire pressures till toward the end of the session, when I really didn't want to go out anymore.

Also had a run with a Proton Gen 2 Coupe/Satria which was surprisingly quick. I could overtake him (and he graciously gave way) but I found it hard to shake him and pushed too hard trying to lose him. He may have just wanted to follow me instead of being followed by me! Haha..

I clocked a similar lap time to Marc, he is very smooth and consistent while I was all over the place. In addition I was making mistakes all over the place. So technically I had the marginally faster car (manual vs. auto), but he was the better driver.

I clocked near 20 laps. I went into JB with 3/4 of a tank, and filled up on the way home (I did 12.5km/litre which is not bad considering I was on high revs all the time I was on track). That, and quite a lot of Michelin rubber I'd left on the track, plus a bit of coolant lost. I didn't feel that my car was flexing too much, although I felt that the car hops a little through high-G corners when the suspension starts bottoming out.

Hopefully we will see a better turnout next time.

and say hi to Takumi for me pls... he's my hero, can he send me some tofu? :biggrin:

[leowhy]

so that is indeed an AE86... :)

cleong, i remmeber u lowered the spring of ur yaris right? still experince understeer? hmm... guest mine will be worse since its still in stock condition? BTW, do u add any strut bar/antiroll bar?
the highest i got on straight roads so far is around 140kph only... haven't really stress my car too much yet... :P

one more question... from the photo, why i get the impression that the black yaris looks "longer" compare to the silver one? isiist just my eye?

[cleong]

Enter any corner way too fast/hot and you will experience understeer. That was what happened to me. I really should have been using my brakes a lot more to slow the car down and transfer some weight to the front (steering) wheels in order to negotiate the bends. I have no strut bars and I am still waiting for a proper rear antiroll bar (Ultra Racing's ARB look very poorly designed).

The black car looks longer because it has an aftermarket bodykit. Out of the three Yaris that did laps, two of them were automatics, only mine was manual.

thanks for the heads up, soh. ppl call Klang as "Wheels Paradise" LOLX, and i guess i'm about to find that fact out on this coming weekend

i was at Wing Hin Motorsports @ Jalan Loke Yew a few weeks ago and i do agree that they carries alot of optional upgrades for our "rabbits" well, at least they are carrying authentic TRD parts (minus the blood-slashin prices). nuff said, if you have the moolah to spend, head right over to Wing Hin Motorsport and splurge it all on those TRD accs you could lay your hand on :bellyroll:

hi bro, since u visited the shop, wonder iff u notice what kind of accessories that they have specifically for our Yaris?

my personal interests are (some i realized from bro etimago's link :P):
1) bodykit + spoiler
2) cargo net
3) front & rear cushion cover sets
4) proper HID set (not only lamp but include proper reflectors, HID shield, & headlight glass)
5) LED rear light set?
6) retractable side mirrors with LED signal indicators?
7) electrochromic rear view mirror?
8) additional speakers (just like in 1.5S?)
9) rear disc brake (just like in 1.5S? )

do they supply all these? :thumbup:
thanks in advance... :bow:

added: 10) steering wheel with control buttons... :P

[strayato.hirzaki]

oh, they do carries an impressive range of optional upgrade for yaris. the dude there show me a digital offline catalog and it was such a long list. i did ask them to quote me for the following items :-

1. front RS bumper
2. rear RS bumper with rear foglamps
3. RS taillight
4. TRD 17" 5 spoke wheel
5. TRD lowering springs

and ZOMGBBQSAUCE! the amount came up to 10k+! (exclusive of installation and paint job) so uhh, i was thinking to head over to sunway's modding heaven and see if i could get a better pricing there. well, if you have enquiries, you could drop them a call @ +603.9221 6168 / 3168 :)

[cleong]

In Singapore, F/R RS bumpers cost between S$1400-2000. The RS tailight is S$300+, TRD wheel is probably the killer item. Why not go with a light set of SSR or Volks or something? TRD springs are around S$500+ but you can get Tanabes/Teins around S$400 fitted.

hmm, true true. yeah, i had my eyes on some OZ wheels, kinda fancy them but i heard it's not really practical for driving around town filled with potholes and uneven road as those tiny puny shaft will get dented and crooked easily. yup, i'll heed your advice, most probably, will go for Tanabe NF210 / DF210 for that perfect drop :wub:

OZ Superleggeras? They're light and sensibly priced. I guess if you used a tire with a tallish sidewall and enough air pressure you'll get away with most of the hammering. I'm of the opinion that the good lightweight Japanese forged rims are designed for track use and would stand up to day to day driving easily. It is the lightweight Taiwanese rims that distort over time.

We have a group of Yaris owners in Singapore also - hope the mods don't mind me posting the link to the forum.

We're planning to drive into Malaysia soon and would love to meet up with fellow Yaris owners in Malaysia.

Maybe the Thais can come meet up too.

How does a rendezvous in Cameron Highlands sound??? :thumbup:

so when is the trip cameron??:clap:
hopefully can meet some yaris from MY too..:drinking:

Indeed, pay close attention to the top part of my rim:

Although that was the result of an unfortunate encounter with a large reflective block thing in the middle of the road, I had to swerve to avoid a stupid bike, and CONK! :cry:

Thankfully it's just the outside lip of the rim, the damage is basically only cosmetic...

I'm going for 16" next time :laugh:

Friends from Malaysia, how say you guys? A rendezvous at Cameron Highlands, and a blat through the winding roads in and around the area (particular Gua Musang)?

when will that be bro?

planning for me is slightly difficult but not impossible... (actually had a 3.5month old son & only my wife & i taking care of him whole days during every weekends... :tongue: )

personally, my choice would be the later the better as the BB will grow a little older & less "singing" intervals... :laugh:

[Safariworld]

Sorry, didn't notice the earlier post about Cameron Highlands. (The forum is banned at word due to one of the threads that started using lots of swear words :P)

Yeah, I would like to meet up at Cameron Highlands. When are the Singaporeans planning to do that?

[slkk88]

Hi guys, I find too limited YARIS on da road in KL/Malaysia.. The sing'z are advisable to go Cameron but not Gua musang. It's like a typical malay cowboy town with big potholes on roads. My advice, skip the mountain roads as i've encoutered bad shits there.

Can you explain what's a typical malay cowboy town?

What bad shits did you encounter?

[slkk88]

dun misunderstand me, ya. da town is beautiful and people there are frenly when we needed help. The roads are kinda windy and not suitable for da babies to hit on gigantic potholes. More for 4wd off road lovers though.

I would suggest for a trip to north(penang) or genting would do better. So hows yer gathering getting along?

cameron sounds awesome. i might be able to tag along. just fill us in with the details, cleong :)

[slkk88]

Seems like everyone is awaitng da singaporeans to be down.... Cant wait to see their babes..hahaha... In malaysia, we have da all time active vios club but hardly we see many yari'z around due to the marketing factor = PRICE....hahaa

Mr singapore'z pls keep us update on your detour routes..hahaha

[cleong]

Its looking like it would be late October that we make the trip. It would be a 3D2N affair.

Cameron should be definite. The Gua Musang drive would be optional for the next day (yes, some of us are looking for twisty roads). Those opting out could just spend the day in and around Cameron Highlands relaxing.

Well if you want anything from the country up north, let me know :wink:

By the way, just a quick question, looking at the 3D preview on Toyota Malaysia's site, it looks like the Yaris there has the US-style thick rear bumper, is it actually like that?

Hi, was there ever a splash shield for yaris rear fender like the one i saw on a suzuki swift? Is it possible to change the ignition set with better key cover since malaysians get the ones like this http://www.emme.org/yaris/IMG_0139.JPG and http://www.emme.org/yaris/IMG_0078.JPG

[strayato.hirzaki]

hmm, i've had thaughts of driving all the way over to Haadyai on a weekend for a major cosmetic modding, any recommendations?

[changchewsoon]

perhaps in another 3 months time, GT Auto is currently teaching me at the moment :)

so when are you planning to turbocharge your car?

[gary yap]

Won't be turbo-charging cos salespeople like me very concern of fuel consumption.

[changchewsoon]

http://www.viosturbo.com/2009/05/fuel-consumption.html

True also, only concern is the person installing the turbo kit. Will keep that in mind.
