Here's my delima with the yaris.... I would love for it to be in either AWD or preferably RWD for me... Has anyone even attempted this yet?

According to Toyota of japan's website I think you can get it in 4wd there. It was one of the only things I could read on the page.

So you might be able to get all the parts from there but it's gonna cost you well more than an arm and a leg.

Foth built the DRift Yaris which is RWD,it can be done......lots of money to do it though.

WHY DID YOU BOTHER BUYING A YARIS! GO BUY A 240.

ddongbap · 03-15-2010, 06:07 PM

Anything can be done as long as funds aren't an issue.

Check out Project Sideways this guys did a rear wheel drive set-up. Or check out turboecho2005 he has a twin engine AWD set-up both are really cool projects.

I'm just saying, what's the point of buying a yaris if you wanted something rwd or awd. I'm all for a nice project, but I feel like if you originally wanted something awd or rwd it was a waste. I'd do awd turbo, yum yum.

Saying that, then why did you buy a yaris?

cali yaris · 03-17-2010, 07:01 PM

it's ok, a lot of people don't see the point of what I'm doing either.

advocate · 03-17-2010, 07:58 PM

Man I wish we could get an update on project sideways yaris.

RHDVIPbB · 03-17-2010, 08:15 PM

The Belta comes as an awd model. I still have my awd motor and setup for the 1st gen xB in storage. Too bad I won't finish that anytime soon

marlondog · 03-17-2010, 08:18 PM

The naer that sticks out get's hammad!

Be nice, and this won't happen.
Do it! AWD or RWD! Good luck!

puetato89 · 03-22-2010, 03:02 PM

honestly, toyota should have brought the yaris 4wd 2 the us, sales would have gone up on these cars and we would have way more support performance companies, but either way, a 4wd and/or rwd setup would be a lot of werk, money, effort, and time but will defenitly be werth the blood, sweat and tears

btw, 2 all the haters, get a life, if you had the money you would do it 2,

e39a · 01-16-2012, 01:59 PM

What would it take to swap out the rear axle for one with electric motors and some electronics? We already have drive-by-wire throttle, and should be easier than mating up an awd tranny and driveshaft.

Thirty-Nine · 01-17-2012, 11:39 AM

I believe the Yaris in Japan that was/is available with AWD is not hooked up to the 1.5-liter 1NZ-FE. I think it's the 1.3-liter 2NZ-FE mill.

Also, is there a driveshaft tunnel for an AWD Yaris that makes the interior different?
