The Yaris GTI:







Of course, T&A JDM's on that beotch too! Pimp Sh!t

Next up: 2zz swap

Dont even doubt me for a second either!! I havent even mad my fifth payment on this car, I have issues.....

That was cleanly done. I am sure a ton of people will rip you for it but I think it looks kinda cool. Is it vinyl? Reminds me of walter's car but he had a little different take on it.

CLEAN!!!

you should pinstripe thends where black meets silver...

(im waiting for my third payment..lol)

[Turbo&Auto]

Walter Pipino or something like that???

I actually stole the idea from him, i told him though :) Great idea, I really like the look of it. some hate it, some love it. Its one of those things


Its painted on! Did I mention I paint?

[brickhardmeat]

you got anything planned for the emblems?


you gotta get some chrome turn signal bulbs and get rid of that fried egg look, this cam up in another post today, will look much cleaner

nice job on the paint

[nqd]

Question....are the GTI front end gloss black or flat?

[Turbo&Auto]

gloss, I checked it out.

I plan on hyperblacking all the emblems. if you check out my site in the custom paint section you can see some examples of it

oh yeah I remember you now

if I wasn't totally intimidated by paint I'd do a few things but it would end up looking "crafty" on my car

I want to see someone actually do the 2ZZ swap because a lot of people say they're going to do it, but don't. :)

[johnnyfive]

looks pretty slick, and since you bring up walter, wasnt he the one that was trying to swap front ends with a sedan?...really wonder if he ever got that done...maybe i should try and use the search buttons ><

[Turbo&Auto]

I'm pretty sure he's still in what he calls :shamu: mode. He has his painted all the way up to the hood line. I didnt really like that, I didnt think it matched the GTi. But thats just my opinion. I still like his car too. The PS of his car with the red wheels is hot as hell!!

I will be doing the 2zz swap, no doubt about it. I have the wiring diagrams for both and have been making a spread sheet and how-to for myself during my lunch hour at work.

I have a 98 Impreza RS with a 02 WRX swap, I'm no stranger to swaps or LOTS of work. If you check my site you can see some of the cars I've built/owned.

Thats my Accord with a modified DSM turbo kit and BIG 16G turbo. It ran a 14.5 with terrible tires. now it has a JDM F20A DOHC motor with a T3/T4 50trim. Its not quite done but should make in the neighborhood of 300whp and run into the 12's with street tires and my custom traction bars

I do all of the work myself from the metal fab to the tuning. I socketted my own ECU (I build circuit boards and test them by day) and programmed a standalone setup from a crappy basemap. My car ran smooth as hell. My buddy with a turbo colt used to hate on my skills until I let him drive my car and it was a HELL of a lot more driveable and smooth then his DSM. He socketted his ECU thanks to me and we tuned that baby smooth as glass now. 342whp with a small 16g turbo!! PLENTY of power for that car.....

I thought walter sold the car and got a rabbit

He hasn't been around in a while.

ouch!

I think it looks like a professional job. I wouldn't do it to mine but I am pretty basic. I think it may look interesting with some scallops coming up the hood actually and the badge blacked out then some more scallops down the side and maybe even on the roof.
