2nd day in shop for manifold replacement
I was talking to the indy shop owner that's doing the removal and installation of my exhaust manifold. He said he's got one bolt left to extract from the head. He doesn't want to make an estimate about how much more time it will take to complete the job. I think I'm going to be facing quite a bill on this one. I guess all of the bolts were problematic as in severly corroded and broke off. Surprisingly, the heat shield looks almost new and everything else in the engine compartment is pretty much corrosion free. I think the combination of salt water from our winter roads and the constant heating and cooling did a real number on the bolts.
I hope I can stay on budget with this last - and definitely most expensive - repair. Thankfully, I did all the other repairs, mechanical and cosmetic myself.

Why are you replacing the manifold?

ouch, I wouldn't want to do that job with bolts that have snapped. If they are in good shape it's a breeze.
This is why I pulled my manifold and applied anti seize to the bolts back when I had my 1nz and I did the same to my 2zr when it was out of the car. Saves my ass down the road when and if I ever need to remove the manifold.

Haha, yeah, I wish that was the case for mine. He explained - and you all likely know this being Yaris owners - that the manifold flange is so thin that when the bolts break off, they are almost flush with the head, hence less to weld a nut on to.

The flange ears at the bottom of the manifold were gone - completely rusted off.

I can tell you that he had to do a lot of extra exhaust work. There were two sections of pipe that he replaced by cutting and welding in tubing. He basically replaced long sections before and after the cat. He had to weld in a bung port for the downstream O2 sensor, which also needs replacing. I used my Torque to check the O2 sensor voltage - Bank 1 Sensor 2 = 0 volts. I ordered one from eBay and will install that next week. On the plus side, the upstream 02 sensor is showing appropriate voltages and the AFR commanded and measured are in sync. After the job, we discovered yet another leak in the section just forward of the muffler pipe at a hanger. He offered to repair that free and will do it next week. I can order a weld in pipe section from Rock Auto for $55.00 CAD delivered, so will probably go that route and have him install that. I think the exhaust is all original and I'm surprised that there is as much left of it as there is given it's a 2006 and winter here is h*ll on cars with all the salt and crap on the roads. The whole job cost me $580.00 (the only repair I've actually had to pay labour charges for) and he did a lot of fabricating and also completely undercoated my car too. I had done a lot of rustproofing already - atf in rockers, panels, doglegs, hatch, doors, hood, engine bay etc and I'd sprayed the underbody, but he added a ton of really nice "homebrewed" rustproofing (a combination of white grease (which he has in 5 gallon pails mixed with atf and a thinner of some kind). It's very nice gooey stuff that doesn't drip. I'm pleased with his work and given the time to do the jiob, also pleased with the bill. I'd say my little Yaris is about 95% finished...Getting there! Probably the last job I'm going to get done is the installation of a keyless entry system. I've been quoted $200.00 taxes in from an aquaintance that has his own car electronics installation business.

The tech did also say that he removed an axle and a motor mount and titled the engine forward to give himself more room to work.

Total repairs/upgrades for this car will be about $1200.00 CAD but that includes exhaust work, floor liners, autobody supplies, new brakes, trans fluid (6L) and filter, plugs, oil and filters (4), new alternator, liftgate struts, 02 sensor, mp3 aux adapter, rear bumper guard, 4 used but good winter tires and center console. I still have enough in my budget for a keyless entry system. Then...I think I'm done!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/5Pc-Screw-Ex...kAAOSwbopZVCcn I took the kids out for a long drive today. I decided to see how decent the fuel economy is. According to Torque Pro, I averaged 48.9 mpg (imperial) though I maintained 100 km/h and the highway is relatively flat. Combined fuel economy for the trip - we did some city driving - was 42.5 mpg. Not sure how accurate that is but anywhere in that ballpark is fantastic fuel economy in my books, especially when compared to our van with a combined mpg of 22.
