Coilovers have been ordered and a front lip from RRM!!!

Kaotic Lazagna · 12-03-2011, 09:23 PM

Nice. Congrats! What about some rims? Or are ya gonna rock those until spring?

jekqmb · 12-03-2011, 09:33 PM

Just ordered spax coilovers and an RRM front lip and were powdercoating those wheels gold and putting some sticky rubber on them!

jekqmb · 12-03-2011, 09:34 PM

The Yaris will be on air and volks, so this is my new project.... The Yaris will be done by spring. haha

If my Yaris ends up being totaled I want to get a Fiat 500 c pop! how do you like it?

jekqmb · 12-03-2011, 09:50 PM

Love it! Not more then my baby Vitz though :)

auxmike · 12-03-2011, 09:53 PM

Is that a POP version with alloys? Pop comes stock with hubcaps, I think.
There's a 500 Studio over by me and I've been there. These are really cool cars and once you see one and sit in one you WANT one!
Congrats, and your GF is very cute. :)

fiat 500s are pretty neat looking little cars.

Shroomster · 12-05-2011, 11:31 AM

congratulations on your pt cruiser coupe :-P

hope it goes well and give you zero problems

thebarber · 12-05-2011, 12:06 PM

Nice cars, but I can't stomach the requirement for 91coupled with less power than a 10-year-old 1nzfe

Jackalope1 · 12-10-2011, 02:09 AM

I hate to say it but I was very close to trading in the yaris for a sport one a few months back and not to be the bearer of bad news but IMO I thought the fiat was better in every aspect . I don't think I could even put these cars in the same class other than small....The only thing that really kept me from getting one was the monthly payment...

Congrats on the new ride!

Kaotic Lazagna · 12-11-2011, 12:02 AM

Updates?

Not to rain on anyone's parade, but being Japanese built (Yaris) was why I didnt consider the Fiesta (built in Brazil) or the Fiat, built in Toluca Mexico.

Just saying....

I think the 500 requires 91 octane fuel (in other words, the pricey stuff), and the 1.4L engine only has about 70ish HP.

I'll stick with my 1nz as well.

Maybe they ought to just drop the price and sell them at Dodge Dealers instead of 'Studios'. I think people are seeing through this upscale marketing deal. They just want cheap cars that get good gas mileage, like the original Fiat 500, and maybe a few hot rodded Abarths.
