According to their web site the Yaris is not supported by Unichip (US site)

Hack.... What hack ??

<snip> Why should I install a Unichip to my car? The most obvious reason is to increase engine performance. Significant gains in torque and power across the entire RPM range are possible. In addition, the engine will be smoother, deliver greater response and maximize fuel efficiency at all RPM and throttle positions. A second reason is to harness the performance value of engine and exhaust modifications. Standard engine management systems are not programmed to cater for exhaust headers, cat back exhaust systems, high flow air cleaners, performance cam shafts or larger turbochargers and intercoolers. For an example of its flexibility, we have installed Unichip to engines as small as 1200cc and as large as 8200cc(500ci). Not bad for only $1395.00 fitted and tuned. </snip> |

even the RS isnt THAT hot...i reckon trd needs to open another studio so they can do more than 1 car at a time...who gives a toss about a trd hilux anyway! im sure a TRD corolla and yaris is more important!

suspension is not too shabby... much better than the softy Echo... as for tyres... i think 205 would be the sweet spot... as for size... its up to the owner...
