Hey, I know its been a long time since I've made any updates about the project. Here's a little insite to what it takes to make a RWD Yaris.
Parts alone for the project will cost upwards of $20,000. For my actual swap, I'm into it about $10,000 already. Engine $1-5k (stock) Trans $500-2500 Rear End $500-1500 Engine Management $250 (megasquirt)-$5000 Custom Drive Shaft $200 Steering Rack $100 Tunnel $60 Fuel system $1000 Cooling system $800 Custom Exhaust Manifold and System $500-800 Custom Intake $100 Raw Materials (cage, firewall, etc) $2000 That's before suspension, brakes, seats, belts, wheels, tires, suspension, etc. Labor, we're into the project about 400 hours. Total when its ready to race will be between 600-800. If you had to pay a shop 40-80 an hour, you're talking $24,000-$64,000...so unless you're going to do it yourself, its probably not going to be worth it. The wheel base is NOT as short as some people believe. I have a comparison posted on http://www.mospeed.com/ProjectYaris.html If anyone ever has a question or inquiry you can reach me on AIM:thefoth71. HMM Yaris on the moon... that'd be interesting, it is kind of shaped like a shuttle pod. |
