New to YW and some mods for my Yaris! :thumbup:

[THE ONE]

Ok, I'm new here in YW, so let me introduce myself... I'm a 19 year old very hansome guy ... haha, just kidding....

Ok, seriously now... I'm about to get my Yaris, it's going to be my graduation present... cause I just graduated from High School and I'm going to the University next year.

So, the thing is that I'm a tuner, I love racing, I love car mods, etc, etc, etc... you know, I really don't like my car to be stock, SO, while I wait to get my Yaris I already started buying some things for it.

This are my Side Windfans (don't know the real name for them,but anyway...)... Thought it could be a nice mod, but still don't know if they would fit. My best friend gave them to me, because he was planing to use them for his car, but didn't like them after all! haha I'm planing to install a Home Depot lip first, and then the Windfans under it.

The last picture shows how they are supposed to be installed, but as I already said, I still don't know if they are going to fit alright for the Yaris.

PD: I still got to paint them, because my friend had them abandoned in his garage, and he tryed to spray them flat black one night when he was kinda drunk... hahaha... but that's another story...

Which Yaris? Sedan? LB HB? Hope you pick Sedan, we need more of those. Lol.

Anyways, welcome to YW.

Also made a deal yesterday with a friend of mine... he sold me a CAI and a muffle... I have a picture of the CAI, it was installed in a Honda CRV... I don't know how am I going to make it fit in the Yaris... But will see! haha

I will post pictures of the CAI and the Muffle this week when I get the parts!

CIA wont work

the yaris is very very picky about that, if the sensor is even a bit off the car wont run

You're finally introducing yourself after some 60 posts?

Just messing with you . Welcome anyway

Those windfans you're talking about are called downplates. Good call wanting to install those. They're a much better mod than a rear spoiler on a FWD car. Seen way too many of those over the years

Downforce is downforce. Rear downforce is just as important if properly setup.

^I would agree with that if there was a just as strong downforce in the front. Otherwise a rear spoiler only is just setting you up for the dangers of aeroplaning on straightaways and increased understeer around corners, both of which the front wheels don't need on our cars.

Im sure they would fit on the yaris with a lil bit of DIY.

Yeah... finally introduced myself! hehe



Thanks for the welcome, and for telling me te name of the downplates...

Nice you liked the idea of the downplates... I will post pics when I install them.

That sounds like trouble.... Thanks for the advise...

But well... anyway, I will give it a try... will try to install it and see if it works... :hopeitworks:

In case it doesn't I will sell the intake and keep the muffler... It was a very good deal, got both for $.60 dollars from a friend of mine!! hehe

Dude, CAI and the Yaris? Take it form me, if it wasn't built for it.. IT WILL NOT FIT!

[SilverBack]

Sure it will. Nothing a few hours of cutting, bending and hammering (and cussing) won't fix

But seriously, save yourself the time. You're better-off selling it off. Lots of people here have gotten proper parts and better deals from cali_yaris' Micro Image site

[CtrlAltDefeat]

Congrats and welcome to YW! I was anxious to mod mine when I first got it and after a little research I started this thread to figure out my first mods. Lowering springs (or preferably coil-overs if you got the cash), a short shift kit, and an underdrive pulley really make a difference. Also a rear sway bar and some fat light weight wheels will also do wonders for you handling... After a lot of research, I feel those are the best beginner mods you can DIY...
