THANK YOU!

Supra_Yaris · 06-20-2015, 01:54 PM

Love your car. Mine is black as well and I'm looking to stance mine as well. Do you know the offset of the wheels that are on it now?

Thank you man! Any pics of yours? But yesss, I'd love to see more stanced black yarii! And yes, the wheels are 16x8.5 +25. In the rear though, I have a 10mm hub spacers so they're now +15.

Supra_Yaris · 06-20-2015, 09:38 PM

Cool thanks man. No pics yet! Im waiting to get my rims. Im thinking about going with some 15x8s with 0 offset. Will post pics when I get them!

No worries man, feel free to comment here if you ever have any questions. I check this thing pretty regularly. And ahh 0 offset would be tough lol. Don't wana go with 16s? :) I feel like they suit the body lines of the car better, to each their own of course though haha.

TerenceCruz · 06-21-2015, 01:37 AM

Just cause I like this rear shot ;) Also running a muffler delete currently.. Heh. Gona put it back on though haha.

Supra_Yaris · 06-21-2015, 09:30 AM

I honestly cant decide between 15s or 16s. I recently got new tires for a 15inch rim and I really want new wheels now. Right now, it would be cheaper for me to get 15s and just transfer the tires over instead of having to buy new tires as well.

Maybe sell the tires and go with 16s :D Haha! Up to you man. I've seen 15s that look good. Aggressive with meaty tires.

So today, I put the muffler back on, took out the spare tire (that 15'' thing weighed like 25-30 lbs!) And I also tried to level the rear with the front (if anything a tiny bit higher so I can accommodate more passengers). Sometimes I felt like the rear sunk a bit lower, but now I feel much happier with it :)

This is looking so good man.

Thanks a lot bro, one thing tho is that I'm definitely over the BBS mesh look.. Haha. Next wheels will be wider and 5 spoke probably!! That's not for a while though. Gona enjoy the car :) Just purchased a drop in intake filter, and i'll just stack until I find a good exhaust. I want an axleback, but I might need to do custom so I can ask for clearance since she's sitting pretty low.

I'm running a 2" muffler delete/straight pipe on mine and I love it. Not too loud, doesn't drone at speed.

Really? So all you did was weld a pipe in place of the axle back correct? Sorry im kind of a noob when it comes to exhausts lol. Mind sending a video when you get the chance? :D i'm sure i wont have any clearance issues if I go that route.

TerenceCruz · 06-25-2015, 03:57 AM

New toy: UPGR8 High Flow drop in air filter. Read some good reviews about it online, and got it for an amazing price :) So, figured I'd give it a shot. Will be installing it tomorrow! I'll let you guys know how it is!

Nice.

I got a K&N drop in, but was disappointed to see the built in mesh on the filter box, which I couldn't help but feel must reduce airflow regardless of filter used.

Well, more like welded a few scraps of 2" pipe I had laying around the shop. I like the sound, compared to my Nitto (which is my fav exhaust for the Yaris but it would melt my RR bag), this pipe is louder but deeper. I'll grab a video for you when I get a couple extra minutes.

From where did you weld it though? And sweet thanks man!

Thanks man! And yes, I sadly saw that right now when I installed this.. But, hopefully these help still! Did you notice an improvement in MPG or throttle response?

It starts at the bend right above the axle. I have nothing going on today so I should be able to get a video, and snap some pics so you can see what it looks like.

And on the wheel front, I feel ya. I think mesh looks good, but for a "stance" look I think larger full face wheels look better. I think it's because the Yaris is so tall for a compact car, and cars with more surface area seem to look better with full face wheels.
