My Yaris progression.

[coheed]

I've never really made a "build thread" for my car, mainly because there wasn't a "build", so I figured I should make one.........

First picture I ever took of the car.


Pretty soon I took off the hubcaps, installed Tanabe DF210 lowering springs, installed a Netz front emblem and gave it a weld-on muffler.


Bought some used ICW wheels off of a friend.


Sold the ICW's and bought a set of Prime wheels, and added a Volvo lip to the front.


I then decided she wasn't low enough and cut a few coils off of the Tanabe springs. Sold the Prime wheels, and got some Bottlecaps from a buddy.


Bought an airhorn and compressor to be an


Sold the airhorn and compressor, and saved up and bought a set of Megan coilovers. Somewhere in here I bought 6" 9k and 4" 7k springs for the Megans. Then I bought a set of Whistler wheels, got fenders rolled and rear pulled about 5mm, -4° rear and -3° front camber with 195/50/15's. Bought a NST tow hook off a member here. Added a OEM style lip spoiler I got off Ebay for $40.



Got rid of the Whistler wheels and the camber because I couldn't get my alignment right, and was eating through tires. Bought another set of Prime wheels (15x7 +36), that had seen much much better days. Spent 40+ hours refinishing them to former glory. I didn't even know they had flat center caps until I bought this set. These are my favorite set of wheels I've had on the car thus far.





Wanting to be lower, but already having a really bad looking sub-frame, I decided air ride was a good idea. Seeing as kits are expensive and I already had coilovers a bag-over setup was the most economical and easiest route. Bought almost everything from Phil on here. UAS Aerosport bags up front with Bagriders threaded coilover brackets, rear is Slam Specialties SS-5 bags with Randode rear brackets. 3 gallon tank with a Viair compressor, 110-145 psi switch, manual paddle valves and 1/4" lines throughout. This is by far the best "mod" I've done to the car so far.












25mm spacers on the rear wheels make them fit nice and tight aired out.





And that brings us to the now. There's a list of other stuff I've done to the car but don't have pictures of, or that I've gotten rid of, like: window visors, Works Bell hub and 330mm leather NRG steering wheel, MI aluminum underpanel, Nitto axle-back (sold), front bumper quick-releases, The Stubby Jr. antenna from Craven speed, no name cold air intake, and Led light throughout the car. There's probably more, but I can't remember it right now. Future plans are bigger, "legit" wheels, thinking 17's maybe Work Eurolines or SSR Vienna Kreis, somthing with a lot of "face" to them. RS body conversion, or some sort of kit, not really sure. Repaint, really want to do it a deep purple, something like this.


I also want to remove the rear seats and replace them with a platform, to hide my air tank and compressor and double my cargo space. At some point in the future I want to change over to analog electronic management for the air ride, and add another tank and compressor. Maybe get another air-horn, just because. Also want a nice head-unit and to upgrade the speakers and add a sub-woofer.

I've owned this car for almost 6 years now, and every day I'm surprised with how much I still love it. I know this thread is a little long, and if you've made it this far, I want to thank you for taking the time to read it.
