Just curious...what are window visors good for? I have seen them around and obviously there is a market. Are they mainly for smokers who want to have fresh air, but no rain to come in when it is raining?

Seriously...just curious.

[vten]

No water come in when it's raining
No snow come in when it's snowing
Lower the inside temp when baking under the sun

Those are my main things when I decided to get the window visor .

Seriously...just curious.

Yeah basically when it rains I can leave the windows partially open, and it can keep the car ventilated when I leave it out in the sun.

[Yarflana]

Ok guys...think I got it on the window visors...thanks. Car looks great...I am sure you will have some excellent other mods coming soon.

Haha yes, I definitely do love the look! My car isn't as low as it looks in that picture unfortunately. It's just the angle :cry: But later on I will definitely switch over from lowering springs to coilovers. Maybe after I get some wheels :thumbup:

[TerenceCruz]

Good day, picked up my Enkei RPF1s and fog lights :)

I installed fog lights too! It was such a bitch to do. I had to run mine through my fire wall. Hopefully yours is easy!

Best of luck :)

I know it's going to be annoying :( I'm also going to install a sub and an amp and I have to go through the firewall for that as well! Where in the firewall did you run through?

[TerenceCruz]

Just ordered my Tanabe Medalion axle back on Micro Image :) I'm so excited! I'll post pictures as soon as I get it installed :)

[TerenceCruz]

I'll work on getting a better picture and a short video clip on here soon lol. I love the sound, definitely worth the price!

[Septembersrain]

I'd considered the window visors but didn't know how it would look on the coupe.
I suppose it looks better than I thought it would. I thought it would look off kilter.
Glad it doesn't! I abhor using the AC, So when it rains I can keep it open a bit. ^_^

Your car looks awesome by the way.

Haha yeah you should definitely get some! I love my window visors! Also allows my car to be a little cooler when it is baking in the sun. On top of that my car is black lol. Thanks a lot! :thumbup:

The shift knob? Yeah its just a screw on depending on your thread pitch! Thanks man! :thumbup:

[TerenceCruz]

So, I stuck my stock shift knob back on. The bubble shift knob started to annoy me. Lol! I'm looking to buy a Blox 490 spherical shift knob soon. I also just ordered my front tow hook license plate bracket and Netz Vitz front emblem from Micro Image! I'm excited to try and make the front end look more aggressive. Pictures will be up as soon as they're on :D

[1.5]

Also, follow me on Instagram! It'd be nice to see some more Yarii drivers on there :thumbup:

Haha yeah man it's a nice drop for springs, I just won't be satisfied until I get my coilovers! Lol, I'm going for a look similar to this. I wish my RPF1s had some lip, haha! Spacers will have to do it for now, I guess :laugh:

[Septembersrain]

Oh man! The windshield wiper arm on the back is really long.
I wonder if they'll put one on mine that's similar to that one.

[TerenceCruz]

They should! It's still the factory wiper, I just did the stand up mod, lol. I wanted it to be vertical like that when it wasn't in use instead of it being horizontal. I think it looks better, lol :w00t:

[1.5]

cant see the pics you posted

[freshvitz]

How's that exhaust sound? Wonder if you'll have any scraping issues once you're slammed. Get that Vitz emblem!

[1.5]

Now I see the pic. That vitz is definitely super clean i love it.

@FreshVitz, im slammed on coilovers and yes i scrape my exhaust on everything, im already starting to hear a leak.

[TerenceCruz]

I love the exhaust man. It doesn't sound ricey at all and I love the deep tone. It does hang a little low though, so I know when I slam my car it will probably scrape lol. The Vitz emblem is on the way along with my license plate bracket! :thumbup:

@1.5 - Yeah man, definitely! :w00t:

[TerenceCruz]

@1.5 - Hey man, quick question. I'm not quite familiar with the whole offset thing. So if my RPF1s are 15x7 +41 offset, how big of a spacer would I need in order for it to be flush? Kinda like GAmmos, maybe a little less.

[1.5]

I would say 25-35mm

his sizing is 7 +20 front and 7 +5 rear so do get from 41-20 you would need 21mm spacers, id suggest 25mm, and then in the rear you would need
36mm spacers, Id suggest 30-35.

Daaamn haha! Right on man, thanks for the help!

[1.5]

np dude but you can always go slightly narrower if you want it sunken in more, or if you want some poke i would go 25/35 which should be the max you can find

[TerenceCruz]

Yeah most definitely! I mean I wasn't really looking for that much poke anyways, I just wanted it to be make it kind of flush with the fender. I see some Penguin Garage rear hub spacers on MicroImage for $80. 10 or 13mm. I feel like maybe that would suffice.

[1.5]

well you could do the hub spacers and then add wheels spacers on top of that giving you up to like 48mm effectively

[TerenceCruz]

well you could do the hub spacers and then add wheels spacers on top of that giving you up to like 48mm effectively

Ahhh yeah that is true. For now I will probably just pick up a set of 13mm hub spacers for the rear. Then go on from there. Lol.

[1.5]

good call ^^^

[TerenceCruz]

Ahh, I love how fast Garm ships! Just received my Micro Image stickers, Netz front emblem and tow hook license plate bracket! :w00t: I am out with the family today so I'll post pictures as soon as they're on! :thumbup:

Hey guys, quick question.. So I bought two windshield mounts on ebay for my wink mirror. Would it matter if I stick them onto the tint I have on the windshield? I have that tint visor on my windshield that's why. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you guys!

[TerenceCruz]

Update: So, I received the windshield mounts for my wink mirror, but I guess the particular wink mirror that I bought doesn't have the holes in the back for these mounts. Sucks.. So that was a waste of money, haha. I'm going to try and sell the mounts locally. Ya never know. I guess I'm just going to have to drill it in somehow! :biggrin:

[freshvitz]

Didn't want to use the attachments that the wink mirror comes with where you attach it to the existing visor holes?

[TerenceCruz]

Didn't want to use the attachments that the wink mirror comes with where you attach it to the existing visor holes?

The visors don't have screws though, my car has clips so I can't attach the wink mirror using existing screw holes :iono:

pc or plasti dip your wheels white

I say yes go with a front lip but not the HD crap

these are the two best sites for finding kits, once you find one hit up Garm and he will get them ordered

http://www.clifford-bodykits.com/bodykits-products.php?id=51&br=Toyota

http://www.rstyleracing.com/index.php?ContentID=ContentID-110211175027910

[TerenceCruz]

I would but I think I'm going to go with white or silver 16x8 grid Vs after my coilovers! I'm just gona see how these wheels look when I slam my car then I'll decide. But cool man I appreciate the links! Thank you Phil!

[TerenceCruz]

Seems like all the kits on there are for the 4 door Vitz.. :'( I wonder if there's any way I can just order the front lip and not the whole kit.

[TerenceCruz]

Damn I love these two.. I wonder if the front lips will fit even though I have a 3 door.. And if it's even possible to just order the front lip alone.

[WeeYari]

3dr or 5dr would make no difference.

What I have always wondered about is the potential difference in lips between the North American and non-North American bumpers. Not sure of all the markets that get the larger bumpers to accommodate the beefier crash bars.

[TerenceCruz]

For sure man! Do you know if it's possible to just order the front lip alone or would I have to buy the whole kit?

[TerenceCruz]

This is the stance I will be going for. Any idea what wheels these are? I'm in love lol.

those are stance encore wheels

yes you can order only parts, i have an order with Garm for a front lip only

just make sure if you plan on slamming your car that you do not buy fiberglass. it will turn into a shredded mess within a week

Sweet I just found them as well. But sweet, I think I will ask Garm soon. How much did just the front lip end up for you? And yes definitely I had a Polyurethane lip on my old EG before.

[1.5]

ok good.

IDK on price yet. It's part of a bulk order he placed for other parts so he's gonna break it down for me im sure once it's in.

Just dont expect it to be the same as the prices online. Going through Garm, you are paying extra for convenience/shipping/and processing

awesome man! Where did you get that funky gear stick from bro?

that last one got a sun roof!!!!! I WANT IT... but pp tell me i shouldnt cuz of leaking etc

looks stock,

whats funky to me is how high oem stick height looks compared to the race seat paired with a shorter stick height.

[TerenceCruz]

awesome man! Where did you get that funky gear stick from bro?

Are you talking about the purpleish blue shift knob? My friend owns a little tuner shop near by. I bought it there for $45. No adapter needed for it too!

I knooow, but it'd be awesome to have a sun roof! Haha.

Only vitz with a sun roof iv seen in the Bay Area, is a former owner, I wish he stuck with his car, cuz it was legit JDM everything, no cutting corners.
$950 through dealership!! And apparently his first mod, that is before he went JDM crazy.

You happen to have any pics of his car before he sold it? I tried looking at his other posts, but no luck lol.

I just searched a bit to find the sunroof thread. Its good that he listed all his JDM goodies and mods in his signature tho. Anyways, I hung out with him a few times, tho he only went to one of our NCVC meets. Besides Kioshi on here with JDM stuff, and me, AlainMikli takes the cake, and would have definitely done well at Toyotafest HAHA.

Megan coils are in the works! I will be getting them soon :D Hopefully I'll be able to ride on these 195/55/15 tires though.. Lol. Have you guys had any trouble rolling the yarii fenders at all? A friend looked at my fenders and said I don't have much I can roll, but it was just a quick look. When I get my coils I'll definitely try and get some fender work done. My wheels are 15x7 +41, but I have a 10mm spacer in the rear. When I get new tires do you guys have any recommendation about the tire size? Any help would be much appreciated!

[ezhacker1]

I havent done anything to my fenders, and no fender scrapes int he rear.
Im on 14x7 +38 (effective +23 because of 15mm spacer) on 195/60/14.

Ahhh okay cool. With the spacer I'm just at +31 in the rear. With the 195/55/15 tires I rub just on bumps and stuff, so I figured if I slam it I would get a lot of rubbing, but I guess we'll see!

Black out tail lights, glossy dark vinyl tint.

[febriandp]

whats your plans on the wheels? oh yeah and you should get Fortune Auto 500 coilovers dude! I think they offer some serious drop (they are the one who made Broadway Static coils)

and IMO keep it clean, dont murder it out haha, and peel the tint haha

Those are expensive though.. :( After I get my coils I plan on going with 16x9 BBS RS reps.. :biggrin: These right here are 15x8. But these are the wheels I want. (I hope they make these in 16x9) I just put the wheel in front of my wheels.

Anyone have any idea why my lights are on? The rubbing in the front is pretty bad right now too haha.

I hope thats it. I checked the wires in the front and they all seem to be plugged in. For the rear I think I may just be missing the tophats from the stock shocks. Hopefully I can figure that out tonight.

The Yaris looks just a little less attractive IMO because I was used to driving sedans, but this 3dr definitely grew on me and it's definitely more rare to see a Yaris built compared to an EG. If I could choose between the two I'd still choose the Yaris :thumbsup:

ABS and VSC lights are still on unfortunately. I don't notice any difference in the way it drives, so I may just have to reset the lights. The coilovers are amazing man. I love the nice stiff bounces whenever I'm on the road. Haha. But yeah definitely. It's always nice to see other Vitz being fixed up.

Planning to sell my Tanabe axle back to a friend and use the cash for a straight pipe.. I like the stealthy look and clearance since I plan on going closer to the earth haha. Just want to see how I should go about it. Any help or tips would be much appreciated. Thanks to Phil for some help already! Haha.

[1.5]

Yea man straight pipe is the way to go

just go 2.0-2.5 depending on your plans, delete both resonators and the cat if they will let you, in Cali you will HAVE to have a CA DOT approved hi flo cat though or youll be fined im sure. Just make sure since youre going straight pipe, that you put a nice muffler in the rear that doesnt restrict but that gives you a nicer deeper tone.

[trunkout]

:burnrubber::burnrubber:straight pipe from the axle back FTW!!!

just go 2.0-2.5 depending on your plans, delete both resonators and the cat if they will let you, in Cali you will HAVE to have a CA DOT approved hi flo cat though or youll be fined im sure. Just make sure since youre going straight pipe, that you put a nice muffler in the rear that doesnt restrict but that gives you a nicer deeper tone.

Yeah man I definitely want to keep the cat. I just want to make sure it sounds nice and has clearance haha. I'll definitely keep this in mind though!

Wow that sounds pretty good for a straight pipe from the axle back! I thought a straight pipe from the axle back would sound raspy.

[ezhacker1]

Definitely interested in your results. Stock resonator back straight pipe with stock pipe sizing isn't deep enough. I want that nice deep rumble at warmed up idle. Least I don't have droning at highway.

Yeah I definitely have some hw to do before I go through with this. Hopefully soon I'll find out what I want.

The key for a deep tone is to through a muffler on the end that will allow the air flow to resonate more in a larger space, especially if youre deleting the resonators

Hahaha as you requested Sugi! Here are some pics I just took today. Filter free, just washed her yesterday. Will definitely be going lower soon. I already removed the locks in the rear, I will try and remove the perches next and see how much lower to the earth I can get even with these fat tires :cool: If the rear happens to drop lower than the front, I will just lower the front more :biggrin: I just want to get rid of any raking I may have. Damn, just got an alignment too haha. Might have to throw the camber bolts in the front too. No fenders have been rolled yet either. Really gotta get to that. Guess the front tires are just shaping my fenders for me for now lol. I just trimmed the fender liner but soon I will be taking the whole thing out. The way the car sits right now I get only a little bit of rubbing in the front. On uneven roads, bumps, etc. So hopefully once I try and go lower I can roll the fenders and not have too much rubbing.

Yeah I do actually, I took the car to SF. It was a double date so my cousin and his lady were in the back. It was pretty smooth. This is my friends house, My driveway is a bit steep so I don't really go up it anymore lol.

Thanks Phil! Yeah I plan on doing that tomorrow :biggrin: But, I was also thinking if I should maybe wait for my wheels before I go any lower. Idk. Also, I think maybe when I installed the coils, the ABS and VSC lines might have been stretched.. So maybe that's why they're on all the time. Pain in the ass. I wish I didn't have all of that extra stuff haha.

[TerenceCruz]

Added the 5mm spacer in the rear driver side in an attempt to even out the wheel offset due to our crooked torsion beam.. Still doesn't look even. Not really sure what else I can do haha. Now the driver side looks more flush than the rear passenger side.

[ezhacker1]

Put that spacer to the passenger side? I also have the issue. 10mm hub spacer on one side, a 3mm on the other.

[1.5]

haha it comes with the territory. I say no go low and get used to it so youre not trying to get comfortable with a new slam AND new wheels. I tried removing the last collar i have left in the rear but the threads are marred so it gets stuck almost at the very top.

and please keep posting pics, this thread is becoming an open forum now lol

Wait what? Sorry I got kinda confused reading this. Brain fart lol

[1.5]

youre debating whether to go low now and then get new wheels or wait, get new wheels and then go lower. I say go with the first that way you get used to being that slammed and then you only have to get used to new wheels when theyre on. If you wait to slam it until after wheels then youre trying to get used to new ride height and new wheels. Its always wise to do one thing at a time, especially with extreme mods like slammed height and wild fitment, diagnosing problems is easier too

lol its fun dude, I rub like 24/7 people get scared when I come around the corner just shredding tire on fender at full lock lol, axle banging on my frame and crap lol, yesterday i was trying to pass traffic that was merging onto the highway, i pass a dc2 teggy with some mods that gives me some looks and as i switch lanes back in front of him i hit a small bump and sent sparks all over him lol thats the G sh** lol

[TerenceCruz]

The rears are still uneven.. It's bothering me a lotttt. Lol. Anyone else have this problem with Megan Racing coilovers? I took off the locks, and perches, and they're still uneven! The rear driver side is like a little more than a quarter of an inch lower than the rear passenger side. I'm stuck. On top of that my ABS and VSC lights are still on. I wonder if they even work anymore..

[ezhacker1]

My rear is also uneven. It must just be the car body isnt just not even laterally but also ride height.

My passenger side (or is it driver i forget) is like yours about a 1/4 inch lower. I have to keep one ring on the perch just to even it out. So one side has a ring the other doesnt.

As for ABS and VSC. Check the abs connector. either its loose or the abs sensor is dirty.

Ahh okay so at least I know I'm not the only one with this problem! Thanks for the help man. My friends say I might have stretched the wires when we lowered it or something like that..

[TerenceCruz]

You guys see the difference in height in the top picture? The rear is just a little higher but its bothering me haha.

Here's a picture of her good side haha. This is how low I want the rear to be. (Obviously since I cannot go any lower until I get shorter stiffer springs haha)

I wanna get my stock wheels back out to see how low the car looks with them on lol.

But yeah, maybe just add the perch to the driver side. I myself wouldnt ride without the perches, then again im on 9k 6" springs so they dont compress much so can fall out.

Being lazy that I am, what are the spring rates on the megans, and are the rear shocks height adjustable?

[TerenceCruz]

Hey Jonathan, didn't you tell me about these springs you saw on eBay?

Fronts are 5k, Rears are 2.5k. Yeah if if these springs did not compress the way they do I would not ride without the perches either. Also, the rear shocks are height adjustable. But I threaded them down to the limit I think. There are still threads but it would not let me go down and more. I don't know why. Laz said he thinks they're supposed to stop there. I'll post pics.

[TerenceCruz]

Here is the driver side rear shock. It looks like I can thread the nut lower but I remember not being able to.. Guess it wouldn't hurt to try. If I could thread the nut down just a little more on the passenger side that would be PERFECT!

[ezhacker1]

yeah i got Stance coil springs to replace the 4k/4k from my cusco setup. about 50-60shipped per pair on ebay.

How much preload are you running on the front and back? you can lower the back to an extent with the strut height, but keep in mind every time the back wheels are off the ground, the spring will be pulling the strut apart, also you reduce the strut shaft travel length.

For sure thanks man. What're the spring rates on your Stance springs? Also, preload I'm not quite sure.. My friend helped out with that. For the rears I don't think we did any preload for that..

[ezhacker1]

9K/9k Stance 6in springs.

yeah keep preload to a bare minimum, least for the front. The rears, actually you cant preload it, because moving the strut body just moves amount of shaft travel. But still you can bust a strut .

You cant get any more lower/higher than what the springs/ spring perch / lock rings give you or lack there of. So trying to thread that rear strut lower, wont give you more low. The front yeah, the shock body adjusting will control the car height, and not the spring lock ring.

[1.5]

@terrence I cannot tell the difference lol. Also do not shorten your shock much more. All of us with Megans who went too short with out shock length wound up blowing the shock.

Ahh gotcha. Guess I gotta leave it alone for now until I get those springs. They're shorter right? That way I can add the locks/perches and still go as low?

Really?? Haha damn I hella see it. Definitely man I won't be touching them. I'll have to deal with it until I get shorter springs. So I'll be okay if I leave it where it is?

[ezhacker1]

Yeah, measure your springs should be 7in. I have 6in stiffer springs. Basically measure how much your rear springs compress compared to its free length. You can calculate how much drop any spring will give with stated spring rates.

Course you could go with same spring rate but shorter springs.

Sweet. Thanks for the help man. The ones I'm looking at are - 6k 150mm / 336lb 6in. Looking for the pair with 9k spring rates. I was thinking about just changing the rear springs.

[ezhacker1]

Yeah, seeing they are sold in pairs you can test to see how much drop front and back you can get. I do recall I only decided to buying the 9k 150mm once i saw they had it (gotta keep checking or maybe just ask them), i bought a pair of 8k 175mm (7") to test.

I only went with the 9k, because i calculated it would allow me to lower a bit more (i forgot the number) and still be at the same height compared to 4k when fully loaded with passengers. Be warned that 9k, is pretty stiff.

[1.5]

@ezhacker1 regarding your post about shortening rear shocks for preload/length. If you have the shock too long and once lowered at ride height the inner valve pushes down pretty far towards the bottom of the inner tube, wouldnt you call that preload too?

Also if the shock is set so long that once the car is lowered to its static height if the valve is resting agains the inside of the bottom of the tube, wouldnt that hold the car up anyways? in that case, shortening the shock would allow the valve to move back up the inner tube at static height and then that would allow the car to settle down more.

just like discussing these things with other suspension experts lol

[TerenceCruz]

Tested the cars ABS today. Yup, as of right now no ABS.. Lol. I gotta figure out what happened to that and the Vehicle Stability Control already. Those lights on the dash are not fun to look at. A friend of mine told me that if we did stretch the wires out on accident it will be costly to replace.. *sigh*

i read and re-read this a few times. LOL gets confusing. Front is easy to visualize how the whole system works, rear takes alot of my brain cells HAHA.

This is just my understanding of how suspension works.
The front shocks have preload abililty which is just pre compressing the spring even before the car is on the ground, but that spring will push against the shock hat, tugging on the shaft :bellyroll:

The rear struts need to be set up in such a way at static load with wheels on ground that the shaft has enough travel both up and down without bottoming out. I measured static shaft length, compared that to how much shaft is left with car on ground, and calculate at max load how much more the shaft will travel. Then i adjust the strut height accordingly, making sure that with wheels off ground the spring and perches don't fall out.

[1.5]

right, so in the rear you have some preload to keep the spring taught even with wheels in the air, mine i have way longer. I have never bottomed mine out, when they were short I topped them out all the time.

I was considering shortening the shock to see if it was holding me up at all, but with my recent mods my fitment is perfect so idc now haha

[TerenceCruz]

lol, you don't needs ABS or VSC anyway :tongue: :wink:

Hahah maaan, I'd like to keep those features though :frown:

Haha I'm still trying to absorb all of this since I consider myself a noob when it comes to the way the coils can be adjusted. When I lift my car from the rear the springs just fall out.. Haha. The weight of the car is keeping them in place when it's on the ground.

[ezhacker1]

Well to a certain extent the strut height should keep the spring assembly from falling out, but if you take out perches rings, or swap to shorter spring length then depends.

Ill look at your car at the coming up meet.

Sounds good man. Thank you. You have an 09+ Yaris right? So you have ABS and VSC?

[ezhacker1]

ABS yes, VSC no.

[TerenceCruz]

ABS yes, VSC no.

Ahhh okay. The ABS light didn't give you any problems at all when you installed the coilovers? Did you unplug the sensors or anything during the install? I'm just trying to figure out what may have caused the lights to go off cause I thought we did a good job about avoiding messing up the wiring.

[TerenceCruz]

So a friend of mine told me the reason why my ABS and VSC lights stay on now is because the car is too low for the sensors to get an accurate reading. I have to get "extensions" for the sensors supposedly. Still gotta do some hw but what he says does make sense.

[1.5]

haha nice

[TerenceCruz]

Haha it sucks though man, I looked online and I can't really find any info about the wire "extensions" :confused:
