i drove the New TS
hey guys
i took the 1.8 TS for a test drive today , and here is what i found the differences between the 1.3 /1.5 and the 1.8 1 - first of , the all disc brakes make a huge difference in stopping power. 2 - the torque is really good ,pulls well from 3rd gear 3 - close ratio gearbox is awesome ! 4 - and i love the 3 door format , we have the 3door 1.8 here in South africa all round , not bad at all , although i feel the car is restricted and that a good exhaust will do wonders for the power on that car mmmmm , i think im gonna trade up for a 1.8 next year , and then just transfer all my current mods IE tein super compacts , strut bars etc to the 1.8 |

If I decided to move to Cape Town would you have a comfortable couch for me to sleep on for a little while? I'm tired of living in the USA

Who said Yaris was slow?

I did changed my 1.5 Yaris for a TS... Good change! Regading the exhaust: Toyota kept the same exhaust from the headers back on the 1.8 engine... 1.75" pipe 2.25" pipes with a CAI made a nice difference in my car. |
