Yeah, it's not really necessary. The rear sway bar was one of my first mods and definitely among the best.

I especially like the TRD rear sway bar as the fit is superb, and nothing hangs down below the suspension.

Top two upgrades IMO, both however nearly invisible.
-Rear anti-sway bar (much improved and safer driving experience)
-Shift kit (if you're in a manual)

Shift kit as in the NST shortshifter?

Go with the shifter, Sway bar and pulley. These are quiet mods!!!

Then you can graduate to the loud ass header ( dc or weapon R) air intake combo.This will make you go deaf in one ear though.

Hey Cali what's the postage charge to 2750, Sydney, NSW, Australia?

Do you have TRD sway bar i don't see it on the site.

sqcomp · 09-04-2013, 04:21 PM

I like the Whiteline rear sway option. It was a great upgrade for me.

cali yaris · 09-04-2013, 05:41 PM

TRD/Toyota will not sell to third party vendors, sorry about that. www.trdsparks.com might be willing to ship internationally.

I'll get a shipping quote for you and PM you shortly.

I use both the in-cabin and engine-bay short shifters.
Super short shift throws!

Where did you find your shift knob! Online? Is it available in other colors?

vaironl · 02-06-2014, 09:39 PM

To everyone that follows this thread... I bought the short shifter, sway bar, air intake, and axle back exhaust. Will probably add a couple of things in the future :).

Stay tuned

malibuguy · 02-06-2014, 10:27 PM

A larger exhaust tip can amplify the sound coming out of a muffler by a minor amount,...but really...i do exhausts for VA cars all the time, i dont know how they get away with it.

Rear sway bar is a great mod, def right up there on the first to do list.
Micro Image shifter bushings
remove carbon trap

Thats my top 3 recomended

Well I was going to suggest that you start with 3M paint protection Film. Better to protect what you already have an investment in and then install the other "toys". JMO....

No shit...That's why I said "I was going to" I should have added "but I was to late." I guess I left myself wide open on that one

I wish I got the film when I first got my car. In all honesty, I didn't think I'd keep my yarii after I paid it off, but I couldn't convince myself afterwards =]. Every time I clean/wax my car, I kick myself because I see all the little knicks from small debris that hit the front of my car and left marks.

I have 60,000 miles on 2010,... freeway miles which are even worse for chipping and sand blasting affects. My Yaris looks like the day i bought it. Not one blemish...

You can still do it. You can buy it by the roll or pre cut kits on ebay. I did the hood, fenders, and mirrors myself. However, i had the bumper done by a pro. When I had my 08, i tried to do the bumper myself...it was a train wreck since the bumper is loaded with different angles, seams, and is such a large pieace to handle. It's worth considering for your next mod....
