id say wheels and a CAI/SRI. the sound and look is enough to turn heads.

kingbobby83 · 11-03-2010, 09:43 PM

Looks like Ill be starting with the exterior mods for the most part. I already have the windows tinted. Since I work at Toyota I get most of my parts pretty cheap as far as TRD stuff...My xB is pretty set up as far as performance, so I m looking to get more ICE and exterior from my Yaris

A short shift kit and rear anti-roll bar are must haves for anyone but a Granny.
Past that it's all personal preference and often dictated by budget.

NST is better imo.
nst 1 nst 2.

Wheels are completely up to you though. What are you looking for? Lightweight racing wheels or fancy expensive heavy wheels?

Or you could go light and big.

Stance is everything

I'll have to look up the NST..do a price comparision on it..as far as the wheels go, not a big fan of big.. I am going towards performance more that size. I found some 15"s I think Im gonna get..will post pics of them when I figure out how..lol

i like the way they look, a tad heavy at 17.3lbs

But don't take my opinion on that. I'm kinda obsessed with weight.

kingbobby83 · 11-11-2010, 12:59 AM

Yea they are just a tad on the weight side..but for $368 shipped..not to bad...I can deal with the little weight. It's my daily driver, just as long as I feel like Im going fsat..lol

Freedan · 11-11-2010, 07:12 AM

I'm just going to give you a heads up. That "little" weight will make your car seem VERY heavy. I just installed 17" rims, weighing at 17lbs(thats only 2 lbs heavier than the steelies) and my car feels like I'm pulling a trailer. I'm going to need new breaks too. The stock pads aren't stopping my car as fast as when I had the steelies on.

I'm going back to steelies until I get a turbo and better breaks. With the steelies my car really did felt like a go-kart. With 17lbs rims, I need to give it so much gas before it moves.

Just something to think about before you spend all that money.

kingbobby83 · 11-11-2010, 05:21 PM

Well I decided to get these.. will have them on tomorrow and hope to have pics tomorrow night...They are just under the same weight as my steelies....
