07 yaris : white egg build thread

[sarap]

sup guys, coming to about 2 weeks of ownership and i decided to start a build thread to document and share my experience with this car.

bought it from car max with 89k miles for 7 out the door.
i opted for this over the red one with less miles because of lower monthly payments, 1k $ cheaper sticker price, and of course it was 5 speed. haha

[ern-diz]

You have owned some cool cars :thumbsup:

Looking forward to seeing the Yaris build progress.

[sarap]

thanks man! me too haha, possibly on my way to go pick up the exhaust i originally planned to re-buy (had it on my old eg and integra)

[Thirty-Nine]

Welcome! Some good looking vehicles you've had there. The Corolla wagon looked great!

[TerenceCruz]

Judging by the way you modified your past vehicles (Since you're a stance guy) I cannot wait to see what you do with the Yaris! Gotta love that Corolla wagon and Miata, and.. All of your other cars actually hahaha. The Yaris must feel so slow compared to your previous cars though haha. Why the switch if you don't mind me asking? Regardless, nice pick up! Exhaust looks good too!

[sarap]

Right on ! haha it is a bit slower than a few of my last cars, but honestly man the first time i saw a sick yaris was when i was in the bay visiting my family. It was a black one, lowered, on bronze wheels, exhaust, and i was like damnnnn ! This was around 2007 when i had the red eg hatch. Ever since then i felt like they had so much potential to be dope cars hah. i just like the car a lot, super fun to drive, everyone asks me what it is, since i de-bagged it and the community of owners are SUPER helpful and dont bash on the noobs haha. But yeah man i plan on possibly having two "set-ups" for rollling around, street sprinter / kanjo - light weight track wheels (sprint harts, kosei k1's, etc.) and then of course my "cool guy" look haha wider wheels and stretch for the gram. i love your set up too man. definitely on point and my favorite black yaris by far. im a die hard mesh wheel fan, so your previous set up is still my favorite man! im excited to see what else you do to it ! glad you didnt sell.

[sarap]

some new stuff :

i also own an accord wagon, that i recently finished my audio set up on, but i decided the yaris deserved the double din and 10 inch sub instead so :

then i decided while we had the car apart and were doing the audio that i would scrap the stock front 6.5's because of how bad they were rattling at barely half volume.

i went with massive audio 6.5's for 60 bucks. no regrets ! im super satisfied i must say.

after i left the shop i went and purchased duplicolor white rattle paint to do my spoiler.
i have a painter here who offered to do it for 80, (not bad) but i want my coils and wheels more haha so i did it my damn self ! lol scotch brite, spray, dry, 600 wet, dry wait, spray 1000 grit, wait 1500 grit etc. lol came out super smooth however i didnt clear coat it -__- :

im going to take it off this weekend, and get a glossier white like i was told to and redo the process. still cheaper considering i paid about 11 bucks for materials.
it looks vinyl wrapped lol like matte white :

i also got around to getting a new antenna ! i used to buy the old school "fuba" antennas and put them on my cars for that "euro look" lol but i felt like it looked goofy on my car so i got this short one for 9.99 at auto zone with adapters and such. its aluminum. i love it haha no more r/c car look for me.
oh and removed all my tint too ! im not a fan of tint haha if you look at the previous cars ive owned. fishbowl for the win !

thats all for now. hopefully ill get my suspension soon !

[sarap]

Forgot to show what my screen looks like at night. The ignition was keyed to the accessories section just in case anyone was like like DAMN you got all those lights on the cluster on haha.

[ern-diz]

...everyone asks me what it is...

This.

I've gotten more questions/comments/compliments about my Yaris than any other car I've owned.

I need a double din. Maybe an Android unit.

[sarap]

Small update. Took off work due to court. So I figured why not re do my wing and chsnge up the wheels that Came with the car ? I didn't like how the style of wheel black and chrome) resembled much like that of the fiat sooooo I switched it up to something that would look a little more "aftermarket/ could have come from the factory/ish type of look lol

Good mod. It's a personal taste thing, but I'm not a fan of the alloy/black combo you see on newer cars.

[sarap]

Yeah man I hate the wheels, but they came on the car and the tires have at least 95% tread left haha. I'm just waiting on some mula for the suspension and new wheels ! It's killing me ! Haha here's some pics from today :

Thank you man I really appreciate that! I get the same thing, since I have the Netz emblem in the front and Vitz in the back haha. I really do miss my mesh wheels so I'm on the hunt to trade my current wheels for some mesh wheels in either 16x8.5 or 16x9 again. We'll see! Very tasteful audio mods as well man, and the wheels look so much better that color. Keep up the good work! I'll be keeping my eye on this thread. I CANNOT wait til you lower it :thumbsup:

But maybe like an an inch lower than the first pic, so somewhere inbetween those two heights posted lol

[TerenceCruz]

Haha yeah

My buddy did this one and gave me height options haha.

I definitely feel it man. I'm drooling at how good the second pic looks though, although even with the swift springs it'd be hard to get around. All depends on how wide of a wheel you choose to go with though lol. I want to go moar low in the front but I can't without messing with preload :( A height that's in between those pics would be perfect IMO! Before I saw that it was photoshop I was like "damn this guy works FAST" hahaha! Keep up the good work brotha, hmu if you have any questions!

All hail the master of Photoshop, Sugi :laughabove: Air ride would be GREAT. But the way my funds are set up.. It won't work lol

[sarap]

Haha thanks for that sugi, unfortunately as badly as I would love to ride air, the funds don't allow for it currently haha. Trust me I wish I could have bagged my ls400, my golf, my Corolla wagon, my Mazda 3 wagon, and my 63 impala.

But yeah Terrence I did have a question though. I'm a fan of the side markers constantly on with my corner lights ETC, pm me what you did haha

Ordered coils ! Should be in Thursday, I'll update with pics. The anticipation sucks. Here's a photo from today lol sorry for a lot of the same looking photos, the side profile is my favorite angle of the car.

Whoops my bad I thought you said Tein yesterday haha. But good shit! They should be fine then! Hopefully the springs are stiff enough for the height you want to go lol.

Coils installed. Frits will definitely need to come down. Wish adjusting front height was easier !

My life. I think I can go a TINY bit lower before it'll hit the axle -___- I just don't want to mess with preload.

Pics!

[sarap]

We had to hurry up and finish everything before the shop closed haha so I didn't get to adjust the fronts down. The tears are cool for now, but unless reverse rake comes back in style..... Haha. Enough jabber :

I'll be adjusting today and will give the car a nice wash and proper photos tonight !

[sarap]

As far as he install goes, it was pretty smooth, cause of the helpful tips from the write ups and advice from the homie Terrence.
These coils were listed as 08 xD coil overs, did enough research and ordered them. Bought the last set for 299.00 shipped. Seller was taking best offers so I offered 100 under his listed price. They are shock length adjustable and coil perch adjusted. I have both the collar and lock perch maxed to the bottom on the rear, but I left the shock length decently long, and have a whole bunch more to shorten if desired. The fronts are shock length adjustable as well, and coil perch adjustable. I evened the lengths and coil heights, but today I will be lowering the fronts enough to completely close out the gap.

Overall the coils are what I wanted with he exception of no dampening adjustments. But for 300 bucks shipped with included end links, I couldn't complain.

More pics tonight.

Always down to help the homies man! Especially when it comes to the low ;) Shit if I was local i woulda been with you installing them thangs lol. Looks GREAT the homie once you get the fronts adjusted and some wheels you'll be golden! Yin yang with my ride lol. Let me know how adjusting the fronts go! I haven't touched mine since I installed them. I was adjusting height with preload like a noob. Now preload is set correctly so I want to lower it the right way. Just been lazy to take the fronts apart to do it :/

[sarap]

For sure man ! I'm here at my boys shop, about to bring the fronts down some ! I'll post after pics

Lowered it about another inch in the front. I'll see how long this will last, I may just wanna go maybe a little more Han half an inch all around.

http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l182/kfreshhh/Mobile%20Uploads/7A874453-8303-469B-B84F-A6A2727311D9.jpg (http://s96.photobucket.com/user/kfreshhh/media/Mobile%20Uploads/7A874453-8303-469B-B84F-A6A2727311D9.jpg.html)

Looks real good G, but an inch lower (or two) won't hurt nobody :biggrin::bellyroll:

[sarap]

Haha yeah I tested it out his morning on my commute to the barber shop for work, and it wasn't TOO bad, but we will see man, I also need to factor in the fact hear wheels are super temporary ! Here's a decent shot, sorry for the same looking photos lol

Not so cool updates, but updates none the less lol ; got a hold of 09 interior for 20.00 that was used for a little over a year or so before being pulled out for spec b circuit racing. So they were in really good shape ! My stocks were the once black with blue polka dots, now turned navy and showing nice signs of wear. Followed the DIY on this and it was a breeze.

I plan to go after market front seats, maybe f1spec or a nice replica set of brides but for 20 bucks, why not !

[ern-diz]

Wow. Super come-up and it looks fantastic.

On an interior related note, is that the Micro Image arm rest?

[sarap]

honestly i wanted to ask someone if they knew where my armest had come out of.
when i got my car, it was already installed.

EDIT-
it is the micro image armrest! it makes me happy considering they arent being made anymore.
i also saw your post about re-wrapping it, as of now, its still in really great shape, and the storage options are awesome!
i honestly wish i could have caught on to micro images items before they shut their doors. some great stuff they had.

Yeah, man, yours looks in great shape.

Micro Image was a cool resource. Garm aka Cali Yaris still visits the forum and sells some stuff on his ebay site.

[sarap]

Yeah I searched him on eBay, and had some questions about his license plate tow hook re locator, wanted to know if it would work for he Yaris even though it's marked for an xD I believe.

As long as it's the same thread pitch it should work bro! Idk how far the xD sticks out compared to the Yaris one though. I should have copped that microimage armrest when I had the chance! Damn it haha it looks better installed than I thought.

preciate that homie! let start a small texas to cali yaris team haha

Im in!

Looking great sarap!

[sarap]

thnks man!

so i ordered some wheels that arrive tomorrow !
kosei k1's in miata spec! 15x7 + 35 all around.
gonna run the same tires on my current wheels.

also on a more frustrating note, i pushed up against a curb in the parking lot, not knowing it had an elongated cement"elbow" sticking out from underneath. pushed my bumper against it, going less than 2mph. (was trying to take an open spot infront of the one i chose) and all i heard was CRUNCH. hopped out and the bumper was off =( more detatched along the front emblem area that meets the bottom of the hood.
adn the driver side bumper tab broke ! fixed it, to where it isnt noticeable, but who knows. maybe it was meant for me to buy a bumper quick release kit tomorrow lol.

cliff notes:

i wanted a front parking spot at target
pushed up against the curb
broke a bumper tab
new wheels arrive tomorrow. lol

[ern-diz]

Coming along fast and oh so proper.

[sarap]

Thanks homies ! I set out a goal to finish the "stage one" look before my first car payment ! So far everything is just how I want it !

[ern-diz]

Gotta update that avi to reflect the new shoes lol

[sarap]

Haha oh yeah ! Lemme do that right quick

[tarkus]

Loving this thread. And I agree with you, white is a perfect colour for a Yaris.

Good mod. It's a personal taste thing, but I'm not a fan of the alloy/black combo you see on newer cars.
Totally agree. The black paint on alloy looks so cheap! :mad:

Yeah man I hate the wheels, but they came on the car and the tires have at least 95% tread left
They look great now they're repainted :w00t:


i also own an accord wagon, that i recently finished my audio set up on, but i decided the yaris deserved the double din and 10 inch sub instead.... then i decided while we had the car apart and were doing the audio that i would scrap the stock front 6.5's because of how bad they were rattling at barely half volume.
Didn't you also feel the need to put some dampening material inside the doors? And where did you place the sub?

haha no more r/c car look for me.
I actually quite like the fact that a Yaris looks like a little R/C toy. :laugh:

[sarap]

^^ right on ! Thanks, yeah when I close the doors they sound super hollow ! So I just use it as a reminder to make sure my lady doesn't slam the door when getting in and out of the car, I thought about throwing in some dynamat, but I figured the extra weight wasn't needed ;) as far as the sub goes I have it placed right behind the back seat on the left side but I turned it so the speaker faces the passenger rear coil over if that makes sense lol I figured it would give the sub some air space to bump instead of being like an inch away from the rear hatch when closed.

[ern-diz]

Haha oh yeah ! Lemme do that right quick

My bad, you might have updated your avi, but there's another profile pic in a diff place that needs to be updated to reflect on your posts. It's kinda lame the way it's in two places, but what can you do, right? :iono:

I actually quite like the fact that a Yaris looks like a little R/C toy. :laugh:

Really? That's cool. I'm all about personal pref, but I myself like a more factory aggressive look (even though the car is actually the furthest thing from aggressive lol).

[sarap]

Right on ! I like the shorty antennae look for this particular car because of how high the shape of the roof is

[sarap]

I want the reverse cowl kaminari hood ! But color matched haha. I'll switch that up for the possible "summer" look haha

[tarkus]

... but I myself like a more factory aggressive look That's cool with me too, but the RC antenna thing just tickles my sense of humour :biggrin:

(even though the car is actually the furthest thing from aggressive lol).
Depends how it's customised IMHO. People used to say my 2004 Echo RS (RIP), with Konig rims and GTR size exhaust, looked badass. Now I'm having to start all over again...

Added new pedals lol. Lowered the car all around. Sitting on the tires and closed the gap completely. Messed with the preload, gave it a slightly bouncier ride. But it's still all good. Looks raked lol but right now in the rear I removed the locking perch on my coil, just sitting on one perch and sleeve for the rear springs.

Also on a non Yaris related note, I also jumped back over to the dark side (Honda) and picked up yet another civic. I can't help it, it's kind of one of those things u just keep coming back to lol at least for me. Definitely something circuit with actual track time is what we've got going for the civic. Nice suspension, and a naturally aspirated b series motor to Help shoot me out through the straits. The Yaris is definitely my reliable daily. The civic will be more for late night street fun with my homies.

Yaris is looking reaaaal good man, glad that you kept it as a nice daily. It's what it was made for!

I like the pedals> Did you keep the stock rubber pedals covers on or did you remove them and then install the pedal covers?

I'm also assuming that you didn't drill those covers on, but you used the screws with the L shaped clamps to hold them on?

I'm looking to purchase the same ones to improve the heel toe downshifting as it almost impossible for me with the stock pedal placement

I'm also curious about the pedals brotha! I've been thinking about doing the same, just never got around to it lol

Yeah man ! Do it haha, super easy to install, kept the rubber on it and used the small double sided tape that's included in it, and placed it where it couldn't be seen, then used the L brackets on all four pre drilled holes on the pedals. No drilling necessary ! Did the install in about 20 minutes, starting with the clutch, brake and lastly the gas pedal. That gas pedal is tucked away haha
