New Seats / New Engine mods / New Suspension mods / updates (also added 201hp)
I've been working on the Yaris for a while in my free time (free time on weeknights and weekends)
Here's what I've added in this round of modifications. -TRD Rear anti-roll bar. -Sparco Chrono Road seats -Sparco Sliders -Planted Technologies seat brackets -KEYS racing suede shift knob (mad tyte JDM yo) -CF mirror covers -Tooter manifold -Corolla Throttle body ( I polished it) -DC Sports Header -MicroImage Red Silicone Rad hoses -Mishimoto colder Thermostat (65?deg instead of 82?) -Throttle body coolant bypass -Ecliptech sequential shift light (not wired yet) -Custom Blue valve cover -Diehard Platinum series battery (Comes from the same factory as the odyssey Car-Audio batteries but its grey and cheaper) (yes this battery is a heavy monster but I need it for my audio pursuits) At a local show this weekend Seats & Planted Technology brackets Mad Tyte Jdm shift knob . . . I also wanted some more power and luxury amenities, so rather than try to figure out how to cram them into the Yaris, I instead went out and got a 2013 Civic Si as a Daily driver. Its staying relatively simple (Daily driver status) and so far it only has -H&R sports springs -Takeda Intake -TSW Interlagos forged wheels |

Before I clicked on the thread, I was stoked to see a 300hp Yaris! Sweet new ride though :)

Thanks
16x6.5 (+42mm?) I'm the exact opposite of stance / stretch / poke (which I despise) I'm all about function, hence why I searched for a rim that was only 6.5" wide (not the usual 7") and with a proper offset to allow me to aggressively lower the car with zero clearance issues whatsover With this "fitment" I have no fender rub / no body damage / its not wearing the wheel bearings at an accelerated rate / I haven't had to compromise the paint or the wheel wells with fender modifications etc... And as an added bonus they are only 11.xx lbs |

have you done anything with the exhaust on the yaris?
I saw your other thread and wondered that there too but didn't post. I know you have done the header but what about the rest of it? I am very happy with the gains I have gotten on mine and all I have done (for power) is the intake, header, exhaust (not axle back), and light weight pulley. I have done other things like springs, sway bar, short shifter (x2), and so on. you may want to consider the exhaust as it seemed to help a lot for me. Malibuguy made mine and it is mandrel bent 2" with a glass packed muffler. I painted it with barbecue paint (black) so as not to be too showey. Love the Si. I think 2004 was the last year of the hatchback Si. Great looking cars all around. |

I'd prefer one from Malibuy guy to the one I have now (the not installed one), but I never seemed to be able to resolve pricing / options etc. with him Quote:
I also had an 8th Gen (the version in between the last Hatchback and the current 9th gen) , and that was also a great car. |

I will say that it took him a while to get back to me on mine... a long while. it was worth the wait though.
Mine is a resonator back (state inspections are a bitch) though it makes it 2" all the way through. I don't have the intake manifold as I can't justify the $700 garm wants for it yet (though I have tried) and I am still iffy on tooters. you could also see if your car is getting into closed loop. that T-stat of yours is running really cold. What is that, like 160F or so? I thought for performance, you wanted to go hotter? I always heard that for performance go from a 180 to a 195 but that was years ago (damned americans and their Fahrenheit). not sure if you have a scangauge but you could check loop being open or closed using it. The shifter on the 2004's looked way too much like a falice. I will say that they were very strong for their weight. I miss the old honda hatches. kind of the reason I got a yaris. not a big fan of the fit. I miss the low and wide honda civics of my youth... |
