Hello guys

I've been reading through this forum for the past two months and it has been extremely helpful, in both my search for a Yaris and after purchasing my 2010.

I bought this very clean 5 door, 5 speed as a second car, but have since been driving it more than my regular DD (Rav4).

Original plan was to fix the small mechanical issues, do a tune up and leave it as is... I changed all filters, plugs, muffler and will do fluids and brakes this summer. I also replaced the rusted out steel wheels with 15'' Mini Cooper wheels, and installed with the correct bulge lug nuts (thanks to this forum).

I've since fallen in love with the car. New suspension is coming, as I sourced a set of brand new H&R lowering springs on Marketplace. New struts, mounts and links are ordered as well, Rear shocks on the car seem fine for now.

All that will be missing is a rear swaybar which I'm hoping to find used. Should be good after that.

Anybody have any maintenance to suggest for the motor? It's got 110k miles and am wondering if anything else should be done apart from regular oil changes.

Thanks, looking forward to using this forum quite a bit, even though it seems as if most have moved on from this platform.
