very nice choices, I like it!

I'm progressing a bit slower

I like the Rotas though, nothing wrong with Rota

[contraband831]

Nice very, good job.

Yup, there is nothing wrong with ROTAS in my book

[Kaotic Lazagna]

NICE! i like the way it looks with those rims. try to find a rear Netz badge to complete that JDM look. and JDM RS taillights. heh.

Thanks! I do have a rear Netz badge but I guess the JDM version uses the Toyota badge on the rear? That's what I read in a post on this forum anyway. That's why it is sitting in my garage. Is this true?

[Push]

im jealous. those wheels are nice how much were they? nice setup man. what did that eclipse go for too?

[brickhardmeat]

Right JDM has Toyota on the rear. stick that one on your steering wheel or something. I don't like netz on the rear.

Thanks! I agree, nothing wrong with Rota, that's why I'm rockin' them for now. I'm from the previous generation though. The old peoples like to pay top dollar for original japanese wheels for some reason. :iono:

yeah, my understanding is the rear netz is just a total fake, the front netz is all there really is, rear doesn't even fit right, I was trying to think of a cool place to make use of it but that realisticly wouldn't work anyway

the front one is cool though

JDM are very nice, I like the modelesta ones on white also, forgive me if I butchered that name, the thai group buy will be going strong and you can get the JDM "look" tails which I am really liking myself for a great price, you obviously have some cute cash though so go for the real deal

Push,

in response to Rota retailers I went through jlbmotorsports.com great prices,very nice people, no problems

I am planning to get a second set maybe 16 inchers sometime this year

thanks! i went with the skunk2 knob because it feels good, looks good, and my friend hooked it up. i think it looks better than the trd but that's just my opinion. also, skunk2 primarily tunes hondas but not exclusively. they tune and make parts for a variety of sport compacts, not just hondas.

[brickhardmeat]

Hi, forgive my ignorance.. ive been seeing these badges on ebay. what exactly does it come from? (netz?)

thanks!

copied from an old post....here's the facts


Netz is the dealer network Vitz is sold through in Japan much like Scion here. The ist badging on the xA is the same thing with the same grill emblem. They are not Vitz badges.
Netz badge on rear is just pure idiocy.

Netz link...http://netz.jp/top.html

amazing what you can find out if you take a look around:laugh:

[jdium]

Looks great man. That spoiler is going to be really popular if someone can make one in the U.S. What other stereo stuff are you pushin with that deck?

As for putting the Netz badge or anything extra on the steering wheel, I'd be careful. Odds are that an air-bag deployment wouldn't shoot it at you, but I wouldn't want a plastic disk flying around my car at deployment speed...:wink:

thanks! it can't get much cheaper than $100 shipped. guaranteed someone in the san gabriel area will have a copy of it if there isn't one already. the stereo system is stock except the head unit. i just needed the navi and my gf likes to watch movies in the car.

as for the netz badge, i don't plan on putting it on the rear. the emblems are fine as pictured except i might add a "Vitz" emblem on the left rear to finish up the look. i kinda like it clean though.

[brickhardmeat]

I like a clean booty too.

your goals are nice but i think you would need to do a complete engine swap order for you to even think of keeping up with a E55 anyhow i would go with the force induction all the way eventho that still wont have the balls to keep up with a e55 but again some 3series beemers i would say give themm a try.and also i really dig you Yari bro keep up the good work :thumbup:

I have a full on digital gauge set in my car , no analogue , i will post it.

i like to mod my car slower because i can enjoy the difference after each mod

[eTiMaGo]

ahhah that's a good philosophy, I don't remember how my car used to be when stock :laugh:

[cc700]

looks great! how's it handle with the suspension all the way down? i'd imagine you have to drive sideways over stuff.

[njyaris]

go for a quick cheap upgrade .. short antenna!

[reznunt]

thanks! i go sideways over big speed bumps. i'm used to it, but this isn't even that low. eg's on the floor are way lower than 1nz's. if i had a choice, i'd dump it about two more inches to where about half the tire is tucked. but i can't since it already rubs a little on big dips on the freeway and fast 90-degree turns. for autocross, it should be raised up an inch or so.

[reznunt]

[webomatics]

Very nice choice i went with the same wheels in 16" and i love them.

[9vapors]

Looks great! I thought the Teins went lower, may have to rethink that one... Can't you get some lower profile tires? How did you get that spoiler?

[brickhardmeat]

Looks great! I thought the Teins went lower, may have to rethink that one... Can't you get some lower profile tires? How did you get that spoiler?

2.8 front and 2.3 rear

You can put whatever profile tire you want but 205/50/15 on a 15 inch wheel is perfect in my opinion.

You could go larger and have more tuck but I think this set up is perfect hence the reason I have the same set up on my car soon.

FYI.Good luck finding something that goes lower. Megan may do the trick but I was told by Megan 2.5 in the rear was max.

16 inch wheels with 205/45/16 would give it a slightly more "dumped" look on the Teins. They'll probably settle a very small amount.

^^^^ exactly what he said.

Yup, 15's max for me too. I want to get a set of those gram lights with titanium lip.

[CaysE]

16's on a Yaris looks best, I think. You can't go wrong with those Rotas; they're so lightweight.

I'm also curious where you got that wing.

[brickhardmeat]

Are these Tein Basics or Tein SS? I wouldn't put anything better than 16s on a Yaris for performance sake (just my opinion).


performance wise you should go with 14's or even 13's but I guess you mean looks wise, Basics are your only option from Tein

[dsc_pat]

how do you like the spring rate ? is there still a lot of body roll ? i'm looking for a stiff ride...I don't know if the 7kg*mm front / 2 kg*mm rear springs will cut it for me.

Are the shocks valved stiff enough ? do they feel right ? are there shorter endlinks inclued with the coilovers ?

thanks to you

This should answer a lot of your questions, Also you can contact Tein they are actually very helpful. I had several questions before I purchased.

http://www.wesellcarparts.com/store/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=3857

you can always go with the Megans

the ride is very mild for coilovers. it feels exactly like H&R coilovers on my 4000# audi. i'm all the way down on the coilovers, body roll is almost eliminated, but the ride isn't as stiff as, say, skunks on a civic. shorter end links are included.

[brickhardmeat]

I think for someone who wants to drive on the street out of the coilover options we have Tein Basics seem to be the wisest most practical choice.

Still don't have any clue why someone would think 16 inch wheels would "improve" performance on this car. They weigh more for one. Maybe you just prefer a larger wheel visually , that's fine.

[CaysE]

...Still don't have any clue why someone would think 16 inch wheels would "improve" performance on this car. They weigh more for one. Maybe you just prefer a larger wheel visually , that's fine.16" Rotas weigh like 12 pounds, how can you go wrong? Larger wheels also mean less sidewall flex. I'm not sure if that equates to more performance either, but there you go.

[dsc_pat]

thanks a lot for sharing these informations

it makes it much more easy for me.

I've had tein basic before on another chassis, was pleased for daily driving.

Are yaris easily prone to scrapping at this height ?

[brickhardmeat]

16" Rotas weigh like 12 pounds, how can you go wrong? Larger wheels also mean less sidewall flex. I'm not sure if that equates to more performance either, but there you go.


I'm a Rota supporter myself but which wheel are you looking at? I'm sure the 15 inch version weighs even less and you could run a 205/50/15 tire that will weigh quite a bit less per corner than a 205/50/16 inch tire. Also, take into consideration the rubbing issues you'll have unless you go 195/45/16 or less sidewall and roll and pull your fenders and what not. Most of the Rotas are +40 anyway so probably not a big concern with offset. You can pull it off and it will look great.

oh yeah, lesser sidewall also means harsher ride and bent rotas but you can drive carefully and replace, no big deal

just things to consider

[brickhardmeat]

another double post, oh well

I got my tein basics installed today and just cruised back 50 miles on the highway, totally different car

I love the feel now, improved 100%

mine are lowered all the way down too

[smokinyaris]

once again very clean

[brickhardmeat]

16 looks good also, I won't argue with you there at all:thumbsup:

I totally agree no larger than 16 for sure on a yaris, but lots of people here like the oversized look:barf:
