Decided to replace the front Cerwin Vega speakers with these Focal Integration ISS 165 components. Don't have a hole saw, so I couldn't flush mount the tweeter, but they still look somewhat OEM being surface mounted at that location (was originally going to put them at the trim panel next to the quarter window.

Thanks! Maybe down the road, I'll pick up a hole saw bit and a hot glue gun so that I can flush mount the tweeters in place for an even more OEM look.

That would be dope but looks really good as is.

Installed a Tap-Turn flasher relay and trying out how the Profile Peak amber LEDs are (in relation to VLEDs and cheap eBay LEDs). Activated strobe mode and the wig-wag feature. The link above is the video I have of it on my fb.

It's like a disco in there!

How are you liking the sway bar?

The RSB definitely helps with on ramps and switchback curves. However, I can still feel a bunch of understeer. It's weird, there is way more understeer than in the sedan. I know, I had TRD dampers in the sedan (using the exact same springs from the sedan), but the tires I have on Dory should be better than the cheap "generic" tires that I had on Vios.

Kaotic Lazagna · 04-14-2019, 05:00 PM

Dory just got a TRD rear sway bar =)

heeroyuy01195 · 06-10-2019, 06:19 PM

Stiffness of the damper should have an effect as well. Using the same dampers? Been debating a rear sway bar but I'm honestly happy with the car's handling as is so haven't had much of a push in that direction.

Same springs, but not the TRD dampers. I kept those on the Vios when I traded it in. I'm just using the factory dampers pairs with the S.Tech springs until they go out, which I would then switch to coilovers. Since they're factory dampers, I'm sure they're tuned to understeer since that's what manufacturers prefer cars to do. However, I think it's more due to the fact that Dory is a hatchback, which aren't as rigid as sedans or coupes. I can't put in any bracing in the interior of the car as well since I load it up with groceries and stuff weekly. So until I get coilovers, the only thing I can do is play with the tire pressure to change the handling characteristics.

I really only got the TRD RSB because TRD had that flash sale, and dropped the RSB price down to $113.

I was tempted to get my FR-S the TRD sway bar kit as well, but decided not to since I had gotten it the NUR spec rear spats. Plus I rarely ever drive her now days. Lets just say the last time I got gas for her was right before new years. Gotta burn off that gas when I have some free time...

heeroyuy01195 · 06-11-2019, 04:05 PM

Yeah I'd say it's the dampers. What coilovers were you thinking to go with? I would have liked to do some bracing to my hatch as well but it's my daily and I need to be able to load it up with whatever the day calls for without issues. Killer deal on that rsb! Now if they would get LSDs for our cars back and on sale as well...

I know how that can be with having a car sit. I don't think I've driven my MR2 in about two years now...Every single time I put away some money to put towards it, something happens and I end up having to use it.

I like the Tein Flex Z on my FR-S, so I'll most likely go with those for the Yaris.

Can't remember, but the LSD probably wasn't on the list on the sale since I don't think the LSD is part of TRD North America.

2 years!? Aren't you worried about the gas in the tank?

heeroyuy01195 · 06-12-2019, 04:32 PM

Yeah I'm just doing some wishful thinking on the LSD haha.

I'm completely worried about the gas in the tank. The only thing sort of keeping my mind at ease is that I have to drop the tank to change the fuel pump anyway so either way it's coming out and getting cleaned up. It's my never ending turbo project.

Ah, yeah, then can just flush out anything remaining in the lines by just driving. haha

heeroyuy01195 · 10-22-2019, 10:20 PM

Anything new with the cars?

Nothing new with either cars. Dory just gets daily driven still, and Snow White remains hibernating in the garage. Haha.

heeroyuy01195 · 10-27-2019, 03:29 AM

Nice man! My MR2 still hibernates with stale gas and my Yaris is chugging along as my daily as well lol.
