USA Yarii seem to have a cross threaded A/F sensor in the exhaust manifold. The stock header is only 1" in diameter at the smallest point. The rear wiper has a clip-on it that can be broken off or cut off to allow you to change and clean it easier. Some cars do not have a cabin air filter. The stock oil is Synthetic, but the extended warranty only covers regular oil, so you have to pay $8 to get the right oil put in your car. The low jack system really does work. The correct place to plug in a Tach is at the OBD port (where the dealership plugs their thing in to read what your car is doing). The engine travels over 5" when you rev it up. The catalytic convertor acts as a resonator as well as a catalytic convertor. You can change the look of your car simply by scratching it with rocks (I have great kids, and luckily they are still alive... barely). The stock auto can go from 0-60 in 11.6 seconds. The highest recommended speed for the Yaris is 68 MPH. I will post more stuff later. Drive On!
Now I want to swap in better engine air filter and look into a better air box as well. How the hell do I get LowJack to work?

- Cabin filters are under $20 at Kragen.
- 2008 Yaris uses the same high-beam bulbs as a 2008 Prius
- The rear wheels don't need alignments- just the front. and stock suspension isn't very adjustable anyway.
- Half a quart of Marvel Mystery Oil can be added to a full crank case
- With concerns of a hydroplaning incident I've moved up to 50k mile 185/65/15 from Firestone (meant for a Prius in wet weather) with no problems... w/ regular hard driving and no rubbing on bounces with max turn. I checked ;)
- With the seat folded down flat the car sleeps 4 midgets sideways in the back. 3 in sleeping bags and 2 if you can't find the fitted kind in their size
- The cigarette lighter won't work with the key in OFF
- I'm about the add a police horn to a buttin next to the emergency light switch.
- LED day time running headlights can be mounted in the fog light cups without removing them. But you still have to figure out wiring lol
- I have cheap pop off hubcaps that stick out from the tires. I use silver Hammered spray paint after sanding to fix the scratches and it looks cooler and cooler with every coat. Some bastard better not steal them
- Aftermarket window tinting looks checkered with polarized glasses on
- The front windows including the little corner glass is already factory tinted a little bit. Like %8 or somthing.
- It's hard to find your Yaris in a crowded parking lot and you've forgotten exactly where you parked because it was hiding behind that SUV all this time
- I get 32mpg because I average 80mph and I'm fine with that
- Ive run out with randoms for now
