Sooner or later you guys will come to the same realization I came to in my Civic- you can put $10k into your Yaris and make it as fast as a WRX or whatever you aim for, but in the end, it's just a fast, $23,000 YARIS.

If you want a $23,000 fast car, buy a $23,000 fast car!

I'll still tinker with my Yaris, probably suspension and maybe some wheels, but I'll never try to transform this car into something it's not. For those of you that have the funds and patience (and may I suggest another daily driver) to do so, have at it- it's your car, not mine, and I won't flame you for doing so.

I agree.

I modded my SE-R spec V to 180whp, and it was pretty quick. Did all the bolt-ons available. Even thought about turbocharging it, but the more I beat on the car the more things kept breaking and I quickly figured out dumping any more money into that car would be a waste.

I drove a 94 Miata for a while, dyno'ed right around 98whp, best car ever. Why? It handled like a dream and was kinda quick because it was light weight. That car taught me a lesson - Use a car for what it was built for...

And that's what I'm going to do with my Yaris, I'll leave the engine alone, but I'll tweak the suspension, because the car already handles pretty well, a highway monster it's not, but a canyon carver...that's possible.
