Any ideas? 1.0 minor upgrades?

[ScottKrieger]

I have a Yaris 1.0 VVTi - Year 2000. The car cost next to nothing and has been nothing but reliable. I believe it had the engine rebuilt at around 50,000 miles ago. I would like to make it just that little bit quicker off the mark. Also, I don't want to spend much money, as do most people!

I have looked into chip tuning, but don't know how well chip tuning works, and have seen a few fakes.

Any suggestions?

****** I'm also looking for some colour coded bumpers in silver and a possible set of OEM T-Sport alloys or just generic Yaris alloys. If anyone knows of any going cheap, please let me know!

Thank you in advance! :smile:

Don't know how good Toyota engines are constructed, but apart from what I've seen recently on a Golf 4, I'd recommend to clean the throttle and install a catch can if it's heavily coated with oil :)

There are some simple things you can do to give it some pep. a better intake is always a good place to start and also a free flowing exhaust. the intake may just be a google search away and the exhaust could be put together by your local shop using a glass packed muffler. that shouldn't set you back too much and should be noticeable. granted don't expect to win too many races with those few things though.

I would not mess with the engine as much as I would the suspension. In a town like London, handling is key.:thumbsup:
