Back from the bodyshop..new bumper and 2" wider in the rear :-)

[wildmongoose26]

Well...finally after 4 months of not having the car "right" I have it back and I'm happy.

Had issues with the original bodywork done to the car after the 1st accident and the day after we picked it up from the first (piss poor) body shop we got rear ended and the ings+ rear bumper died.

Picked up a c-one rear bumper and got to work fitting the wheels.
16x8+0 xxr 002 wheels in the back. Stuck out a good 1-1.5" past the fender. Add 3 degree camber shims. Roll and pull didnt clear it well enough. So widened the rear by 1". All factory sheet metal. Lemme know what ya think.

Dang, that's a sweet Yaris! And in Texas! http://www.texasguntalk.com/forums/images/smilies/texas.gif

[TOUGEghost]

What about the front? There's such a huge difference between the front and rear.

[SAV912]

I'm not feeling the radical camber and heavy offset in the rear. Dished rears on a front drive car is cheesy, IMO. I had hoped to leave that world behind after I got rid of my Volkswagen but I guess there's a little bit of that scene in every car. Long as you like it though, good.

Car is awesome otherwise. Love the color. I'd have it low on coils and some 16s with cut slicks and some boost to match the aggressive front it's putting up.

great job bro ! thats one insane looking yaris !! BIG up !

Looks really cool but i don't want to know how this thing corners now.

Actually. It corners exactly like it did before. Zero Difference.

Surprised there has been less interest in a car that is basically a mini widebody in the rear?

I've asked a similar question in another threads: how do you drive this car? Looks like it has 1/4" of travel before the fender hits the tire and maybe 1.5" of travel before rim hits fender. Is there 0" of travel in this car? And it can't be hydraulics since the top picture is of the car in motion...

The OP's car looks driveable.

Lol you stop bein a baby about your car and accept the fact that its gonna rub every where. Its a car, they make replacement panels for it. If you mess something up its not the end of the world.

I think it's called "natural fender roll method" - let the tires do the work.

Come on this is literally undriveable. The wheels have no room for any movement except rotation. Even if his suspension has zero travel this wouldn't work while driving. You can't drive with just a few millimetres space.

Sorry for the thread jack.

[w7ist]

I've driven cars like this and it just needs a very very stiff suspension. Yes it will rub on occasion but it is completely dependent on what type of suspension you are running and the stretch on the tire.

[puetato89]

wow, i just now noticed the other comments on this, hellaflush style has been out for years, at least here on orlando, its mostly done on rwd cars for drifting, at least thats what most my friends use it for... its done with coilovers because of drop and stiffness... if you really don't believe that these cars drive how they are just go to a drift event.... and also if you really just come on here to put down the car just keep it to yourself or do constructive criticism... i personally find it annoying and offensive when people put down other peoples cars, (cause its not your car...) just saying... please now back on topic!!!

and like most that respected, sorry for the thread jacking!

[Kongo-Otto]

Your stupid.

Watch your language!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ddsO4LA_LY

Most of these "VIP" style cars use air suspension. Some others will clearly rub or have near to zero suspension travel and thats what i call "undriveable", because its dangerous. Thats my opinion which you don't have to share. Thank you!

[YAR1S]

Looking good, maybe pull out the front a little? but I mean it looks fine, cars are always a work in progress it seems like. Yay for another flush yaris tho!

No most of these cars do not use air ride, a lot of them are on coilovers, a lot of these coilover setups are modified with custom crazy spring rates... A lot of guys get custom skid plates made and have their suspension dialed in. CaniBeat really shows the best form of stanced cars IMHO. They show all aspects of slammed cars no matter what it is from a VIP car to Kei cars no matter if its tucked, poked etc... Before you go running your mouth and saying ignorant stuff you need to actually do your research. I have a very good friend here in st.louis who has been featured on a few stance sites with his rabbit on chrysler crossfire wheels who DD's his car. Its getting a Russian mag feature in 2 months.

oh btw the last pic the white Jetta thats in st.louis as well has been in Modified mag and a few vw magazines

[ilikerice]

I used to do this with my crx.. And you realize that some places are off limits to you and your car. Start avoiding speed bumps and if not, go over 1 tire at a time.. lol.. I like it. but it is not for everyone. Its like sushi, an aquired taste.

[Kongo-Otto]

Oh and no insults gals and guys, really if you have a difference in opinion there is a way to go about it without resorting to name calling and such.

Some people cannot accept different opinions. Some people even can't read. So i am out of this thread. I don't need to call names on any person here. If people want to believe that this kind of lowered cars run fine and don't have any of the mentioned issues ... okay.

[puetato89]

theres is rubbing, minor though, not enough to worry about, the camber on some of these are ridiculous, but it still nothing harmful to the car, the worst thing that happens is scraps on motor, exhaust oil pans ect. but they put things on them to prevent damage like skid plates and they raise there motors..and btw opinions are opinions but facts are facts, coilovers are USUALLY used, but a FEW to use bags, coilovers actually have a purpose other than show..

jekqmb is 100% correct, seems like truths are only to those who choose to accept it

[KCALB SIRAY]

i get the whole idea of widebody, but at a certain point there has to be rubbing like crazy when you take bumps and the suspension is at work no? I dont hate it and it looks cool , but front is missing IMO. either way nice job and if you like it thats the main goal.

Oh and no insults gals and guys, really if you have a difference in opinion there is a way to go about it without resorting to name calling and such.

BTW It always amazed me how people with these cars manage to drive, what if you have to go into a parking lot and the entrance is raised or you have to climb the curb? I just dont get it

We bag it :wink:

[puetato89]

lol way to lighten the mood haha

[Kaotic Lazagna]

No one ever said that there aren't issues with driving cars that are "hellaflush". Shoot, the saying goes "If you ain't rubbing, you ain't doing it right." Of course there is going to be rubbing, that's going to be unavoidable. And yes, like mentioned above, some people do break oil pans, but people know that prior to making their cars hellaflush. However, the cars are not undriveable.





PK, I've seen people back into driveways before to get up them, that plus major entrance angle.

[wildmongoose26]

There are plans for the front just not sure what yet.
Want a front lip on the car but dont like any of the lips available for the 09+ so i'm looking elsewhere. Also already got a quote to widen the front fenders by 2". Just kinda tossing ideas around to see where this will end up.


thanks for keeping it on topic! ha

And yes I rub. I dont rub so bad alone in the car, I rub worse with 2 people in the car and a little more with a full tank of gas. Ha

Have you tried looking overseas for a lip?

how extreme to you want the front end? i know the front for the 09 up is difficult but have you thought about going 06-08 front end? you could always go c-one front :wink:

So i am out of this thread.

Good.

OP: GREAT job, looks good.

Thought about maybe looking at the Honda fit front lip. Its the same width just a matter of the same curve. But a little money to make it fit right would be different through and open up other ideas for other yaris owners as well

[puetato89]

yeah that would be original! what gen would the lip come from though??

ooOOOooo that be nice lil gift there partner ;)

[Kaotic Lazagna]

A lot of people mod and use a lip from the Impreza. Just a thought. hahaha

why is that LOL? that could be an option.

I think once one person does it and figures its not that hard or how hard it is. it will be more common for us to do it.

[puetato89]

that is true, he has your there laz ;)

[Kioshi]

Most of these "VIP" style cars use air suspension. Some others will clearly rub or have near to zero suspension travel and thats what i call "undriveable", because its dangerous. Thats my opinion which you don't have to share. Thank you!

Prime example last Sunday. Pur Blu's car has a stance like the OP's car.
He drove through the mountain with 4 of us following him. Drove back the same mountain on the freeway with a bunch of potholes and dips.

Its drive able...its not an opinion, its a fact. If you cant see that....well then, I dont know what to tell you. You might be better fitted into the category of people who buy expensive cars but dont know a thing about the damn car.

Sorry to put you down like that, but ignorance doesn't work well, especially on car forums where people are showing you prime examples. Whether its safe to drive as a daily driver....that varies from one person to another so i respect your opinion there.

To the OP:

I like the stance on your car, if you look at a members car - Pur Blu (check out the NCVC thread meets in California section),,, you can go even more wider and more camber all around. Overall nice work.
I'm just not digging the rear bumper trim below the reflectors, but hey it is what it is. :biggrin:

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Here's Pur Blu's car:

[wildmongoose26]

Not bad. I know you can go ALOT wider on the rear. Cant remember the orange car guys name that had the c-one kit but i now he has 10" on the rear. Probably something like a 15x10+38 or something with factory bodywork. With the amount of extra width on the rear of my car I could probably do a 16x12+38 or something along those lines. or a 16x10+0. The fronts would be the fun part.

As for Pur Blu's car it looks good. Its what he wants. My wheels are 16x8+0 and have very little poke and very little stretch. That was the point. I wanted less mexiflush and more flush on mine. Props to him on doing it though. Also if you look at the pull in the rear it doesnt flow with the rear bumper. A pronounced different between the 2. Mine is a smooth transition. Looks pretty much factory. Different strokes for different folks.

If/when I get new wheels i have alot more options for the rear.

That's Peter(Daddie Y) you're talking about...and his c-one kit is getting prepped for my car as we speak. :)

Those rims he has were custom modded stock steelies. I forget the specs, but they are pretty slick and look great.

[Kongo-Otto]

Its drive able...its not an opinion, its a fact. If you cant see that....well then, I dont know what to tell you. You might be better fitted into the category of people who buy expensive cars but dont know a thing about the damn car.

I already explained my definition of driveable. You don't need to tell me anything. LOL@"don't know a thing about the damn car". I repaired all of my old cars many years ago while still at school, even whole cylindre heads, valves and stuff like that. Not to mention all kind of usual parts like brake calipers, brake shoes, suspensions, water pumps, timing belts and all kinds of fluids.

I know my english is not the best so sometimes people get me wrong or think it was some kind of offense. It is not meant like that. I am still learning. By the way don't forget i am from Germany. Car modding here is under strong regulation. Many things you do are not allowed here for safety reasons. So i put my experiences here as my measure. :smile:

[jekqmb]

Umm on that blue Yaris the front wheels need less poke and needs more of a drop, fenders need to be pulled more. The OP's is flush, pur blus ummm not so much.

[wildmongoose26]

Not taking anything away from Pur Blu. Just a different route. Wider wheels, not as low, mexiflush and just a aggressive roll/pull rather then a wider rear end. Looks good just different.

Yours is very well done man! I showed pictures of it to a few of my buddies, its a well thought out setup man, should def take pride in it!

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Pur blu is just waiting to get coilovers or something that can lower him more. He's just on springs right now.

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Kongo-Otto, I think what you mean is cars that are hellaflush are harder to drive rather than undriveable.


And I thought the car modding scene out there was big?

[Kongo-Otto]

And I thought the car modding scene out there was big?

It is. But it is very different, too. And more expensive because nearly any part needs an official certificate and many parts need to be examined at your own car after modding by official technicians. Otherwise you could get in trouble with the insurance, police and you will lose your operating license for your car. This means the car is illegal for street use.

To put in in another way: You can not buy some springs or coilovers, mount them and be happy. The car has to get an alignment (wheels and headlights) and has to be approved by an engineer (not an ordinary mechanic at your dealer). This engineer will write down some kind of certificate which tells anybody that your car is still legal for street use. If there is any tire rubbing or not enough ground clearance -> no certificate. Thats why i thought your VIP cars use airride, too. Many cars here use them if they are super low. Its just for the show and people are not allowed to drive them this way. :wink:

And of course there are some illegal cars in germany on the roads. But these people will risk their licence because major violations will be saved into a database. You get points and if there are too much of them the license is lost.

[jekqmb]

Lol who would try to get a flush look on springs??? I was wondering why his car is in 4x4 mode

[Kaotic Lazagna]

Kongo-Otto: That sucks about the certification process.

jekgmb: He's going the other way around, working around his fitment.

[hwnstyle21]

Well...finally after 4 months of not having the car "right" I have it back and I'm happy.

Had issues with the original bodywork done to the car after the 1st accident and the day after we picked it up from the first (piss poor) body shop we got rear ended and the ings+ rear bumper died.

Picked up a c-one rear bumper and got to work fitting the wheels.
16x8+0 xxr 002 wheels in the back. Stuck out a good 1-1.5" past the fender. Add 3 degree camber shims. Roll and pull didnt clear it well enough. So widened the rear by 1". All factory sheet metal. Lemme know what ya think.



Any updates or mods added since the OP?

Also could you explain how the widening process using factory sheet metal is done? Thanks

Great looking car.

[brutal910]

THIS CAR IS SICK!!!!!!!!

[bzinn 1]

Mongoose......your car is looking sweet dude......be proud of how it looks and enjoy the hell out of it.Looks pretty drivable to me,good job and remember if it dont rub yo did it wrong and if it dont scrape.....try harder.
