Hey more old news. Check out the TEIN Yaris or Takata. Read about it here:

Look at the pics below. Supercharger. Yeah! Don't tell me some a ya'll don't want that.

But wait on that same page is the NOS Yaris.

You know on that same page is the Volvo C30. That car, believe it or not, is what got me yearning for a Yaris. I saw the Volvo C30 and got hungry for a 2 dr coupe hatchback little zip around the city ride. But it's just not here in the States. And I don't need the ride yet, so I kept looking for a car to dream about. All of a sudden I see this Yaris. In the street it looks female. But I keep looking at it and I get this feeling I used to get when I was in High School, when I used to like the Civic hatchback. I never could understand why, I liked that car. But now I know why. No one to answer to and room for myself alone. With just enough room for one cute girl.

But when you see (and sit in) the Yaris it is very high up somehow. I think it demands a lowered stance of an inch or two. I'd hate to drop into a NYC pothole in a Yaris. Ouch.

Can you believe I've never driven RWD. I feel so chaste and clean.

This is my 1st front wheel drive ever. My 3 mustangs i have owned 4 t-birds and 1 truck and my pathfinder all rwd. its different.. its funny feeling the car pull through the stearing wheel especially on hard excel..

the only rwd that i've driven (from what i remember) was my '92 Miata.

Actually I'm not so chaste, I've driven my Mom's '82 or '83 (80-something) Celica that was RWD. But I barely had my license back then and wasn't so interested in discerning how the ride handled. I do remember easily sliding in the rain. I'm for FWD, for the most part. But all wheel drive sounds awfully tight on a Yaris. Toyota has 4 wheel drive on the Japanese Vitz (not to mention push button start). This car in the States is something very different overseas.

The body doesn't cut it for drifting in my eyes. Comparing it to my 240 and other dirft cars, they pretty much have the same profile ... long and low to the ground (even at stock height).

As for FWD drift cars, it is a different function but still considered a drift. Here's from my packet when I worked Formula D last year:

FF Drift or front wheel drive drift is a technique in which the E-brake as well as steering and braking techniques are used to balance the car through a corner. Note that the E-brake is the main technique used to balance the drift.

The TEIN one is of the best lookin modified Yaris I've seen. Looks damn good.
