Oh, and she has 38K miles on her original Goodyear Eagle LS tires, so today I ordered a new set of Hankook Ventus V2 Concept H437 tires on a set of Drag DR41 white wheels from my favorite wheel and tire guy at fourby100.com

Ebay Power Mirrors arrived today.

This has to be one of the simplest upgrades to do. All of the wiring is in place on non-power Yaris, so you simply swap the mirrors, pop the switch into the dash and plug the connector (that is taped to the top of the under-dash fuse box) into it. Turn the ignition switch on and watch them move.

The mirrors were $31 each shipped and are new aftermarket ones. The power mirror switch I picked up off Ebay for $24.

I really don't care much for the power mirrors (though I do have them in my RS Yaris). I am much more of a fan of the power windows and the power locks (as I pretty much use one or the other on a regular basis).

The power mirrors are for me pretty much a set it and forget it kind of deal. Unless I go to the car wash ... in which case I always seem to have to readjust them.

But I am looking forward to this thread in the future as I am just amazed at what you have done to that car.

I am going to use the white painted steelies as my Winter wheels (and will wrap them in a set of rally racing snow tires), but the Eagle LS tires will be coming off.

You sure are doing a ton of work on Crashy 2. Since you want to make Crashy 2 a off road car you should spray the underside to avoid rusting.

Exactly. I did my daily driven 09 with Herculiner this past Winter and it worked great as both an undercoating and sound reducer, so I will definitely be doing this one as well.

yaris_ninja · 08-31-2012, 12:13 PM

Do you do the undercoating yourself? If you do it would nice to stop by to my yaris and miata done. I am not sure how it would cost. i will look online for myself.

Tomatogrower · 08-31-2012, 06:26 PM

i can't wait to see the progress and the final result!
