Yaris by Sparco

[Sparcoboy]

Bought my first car today. 2008 Yaris by Sparco 1.4 D4D. In the future I will probably end up with Sparco seats :biggrin:. Right now I'm looking for winter rims, 15" and not too expensive. Was thinking about these: http://www.johandevries.nl/velgen/15-inch/effezeta-305-4x100-98-15-rode-rand
What do you guys think?

[Kal-El]

Very nice. :smile: :thumbsup:

I think the black and red rims will go really well with your car.

[Sparcoboy]

I went to the wheel dealer today and I will probably go for the black Sparco drift wheels.
Together with Goodyear ultragrip 8 tires.

[Sparcoboy]

Wheels are ordered and picked up the car today. Man does it drive nice:biggrin:
especially once you go over 2100 rpm :rolleyes:

pics arent the best since it was already late and it was raining.

[Dadams]

nice! how much is it dropped?

[Sparcoboy]

nice! how much is it dropped?

It has TTE springs so now its 30mm lower.

[Dadams]

Not sure how much that is in inches I wanted a 2" drop is that about right?

[YAR1S]

wait did it have a yarisworld sticker on it before you bought it???

[Sparcoboy]

It had a yarisclub sticker, which is a dutch club. 2" is about 50mm, so 30mm is something like1" 1/4.

[Sparcoboy]

Got the new rims today, looks good :biggrin:

[matthewai]

sweet looks awesome take some in the daytime

[Dadams]

Love the rims startin to look clean!

[Sparcoboy]

Took 2 more pics was again pretty late. Disadvantage of going to school all day.

[Dadams]

You should get some low profile tires for those!

[Sparcoboy]

They are my winter rims so I didn't want any low profile tires.

[Tooyuta]

Looking good! Red and black goes well together.

[Dadams]

Oh that makes sense I forgot it was winter... We don't have seasons here in Texas :P

[Sparcoboy]

I fanally managed to make some clear pictures :D

[Sparcoboy]

What do you guys think about putting carbonfibre tape over the front bumper so the it looks a bit like the yaris club concept?

[Dadams]

Not sure what you mean like the whole bumper? Or just the middle? Better yet you got a pic? :P

[Dadams]

Yeah I think that'd look pretty good! kinda like the scion Tc but your gunna use carbon fiber? I think itd look good in plain black but thats just imo.

[Sparcoboy]

Carbon wrap foil is the easiest to apply and easy to corrigate . I have a friend who has some carbon foil laying around so cheap as well :D

[Dadams]

Well that sounds like more then reason enough to me! Go for it ii think it'd look awesome post pics when you get it done! :D

[Sparcoboy]

Just another question, does anyone know if it's possible to take the lower grill out?
Otherways i'll have to cut it out since wrapping it with carbon foil whithout seeing any red is nearly impossible.

[Dadams]

Yeah it pops right off it has like 4 clips or so that pop back in when your done

[Sparcoboy]

I'll probably leave it out so it's black until the bottom of the bumper.

[Dadams]

Well you should at lest put some sort of grill like mesh or something just for the sake of protection :P

[Sparcoboy]

I'm talking about the things in the bottom opening of the bumper which have the same color as the bumper so not the mesh or so.

[Dadams]

Right replace that with mesh is what I was tryin to say

[Sparcoboy]

Put the summer rims back on and I find it nicer :D
next set of tires will probably be 1 size wider, wide tires look good under it

[Sparcoboy]

Finally sold my enduro so now have the money for my seats, does anyone know whether the seat rails Sparco offer ('99-'04 Yaris ) will fit the second gen.

Other question, is the passenger airbag seat controlled?

[vten]

I'm not sure about the rail would be fit , but you can contact wedge engineering to make a custom bracket for you .

As for the airbag , you need a module to control ... Contact ctscott for that .

[Viperoni]

Lookin good, I like the rims!

[Sparcoboy]

Are you sure a controll unit would be needed, was thinking to wire the seat sensor so that it constantly thinks there is someone sitting on the passenger side and the seatbelt is in.
If it's needed at all.

[Sparcoboy]

Rims are white now, looks good, I can't wait till summer to put them back on

Today I also went to the Essen Motor Show, which I think is the biggest tuning convention in Europe. I had the opportunity to test-sit a Sparco R100 seat and well, I'm sold :D
Waiting on a good price and more info whether the sliders will fit or if i'll have to make a bracket and take the sliders from my standard seats.

[Sparcoboy]

Found an original leather interior for 350€, couldn't resist :D

Looks pretty empty:
