$150 to spend - Toyota Yaris Forums

mxzebrax · 05-15-2007, 03:35 PM

ok, so i've got 150 to spends and i got the most base sedan that there is. It has nothing, except for the rear bumper gaurd, floor mats, and i installed a cd player. I want my car to stand out a little more, anyone have any suggestions?

why don't you spend that for Intake? Get the Fujita intake from Ebay for $170 dollars shipped.

man we all gonna make him go broke. :0

springs, without a doubt.

crank pulley from ZPI would leave you with plenty $ left over, and arguably more effective than an intake. You could nab springs and the pulley for around 200.

wow, thanks guys. One thing though. I'm not exactly a big time car guy, so it would be nice to know the function of those things! haha.

spkrman · 05-15-2007, 05:35 PM

search these forums, lowering springs, crank pulley :)

handling and looks or slight boost in acceleration... those are perhaps the 2 biggest changes you can make for the $ and ease of install.

save 20$ more or so and get your windows tinted, best bang for buck in my mind

Thanks again everyone.
- I'm getting the windows tinted for sure, so it's an extra 150 that i have to spend. There's a real monopoly on window tinting in my area, so it's gunna be about 250, but the guys is really good, he does everyones windows in town.

- The springs, can someone tell me what they do in simple terms. Also, how much they are, where to get em, and a basic idea of how they're installed. Are there any toyota certified springs?

Spings = Sexier look and handles better........... :)

eTiMaGo · 05-16-2007, 02:57 AM

Yes I would say springs too, the stock suspension is so high it's ridiculous. And you get two benefits for the price of one, improved looks and handling/driving feel. It's a winner!

jamal1984 · 05-16-2007, 08:48 AM

but dont you guys think it's feel bouncy?

drive a bit, save some $ on the tint, and do springs and crank pulley at the same time

jamal1984 · 05-16-2007, 08:49 AM

I love to lowerer my car down, but my gf wont get in my car if i lowerer it down, because she say it's suck. It's bouncy. She Sick

MrJester · 05-16-2007, 09:22 AM

I vote for the springs too. I put wheels and rims on first then SPRINGS. After that went to the sway bar. That is another thing I would look into putting on I love it.
