Slap some smaller/lighter diameter than stock wheels/tires on ( 195/50 or 45x15's) a free flowing intake and a performance exhaust and you will be pleasantly surprised.

hahaha..double clutchin is the epitome of ricer...YOU'RE GONNA BLOW THE WELDS ON YOUR INTAKE!!!

in all seriousness, before cars had good synchros, it was "a practice" to go through a certain "routine' every shift. You pop the clutch, move the gear shifter from current gear to neutral , then let the clutch back out, then move the gear shifter from neutral to next gear, then release clutch again. It was a PITA , but definitely kept me from buying new trannies every 3-4 races on a Mach 1 Mustang...

Sigh, i got Auto ... YYYYYYYYYYYYY O well nothing can be done now...
But when i accelerate and hit 3000rpm - 4000rpm to merge into traffic when i'm on the highway, my engine gets really loud... this is normal rite? It sounds like its gonna break, but when i hit 100km / hr its quiet again

PMCRW · 06-14-2006, 04:20 PM

shouldve gone with the stick....

Uglyboyed · 06-14-2006, 06:13 PM

yup stick is the way to go

Hey I have a manual and cant imaging having a Auto. I think that the Yaris here in Oz has a decent amount of power for the price and its category. Here in OZ we a have a 12 point system were if you loose it you loose your license well. I have had my Yaris for 4 Months and have had 3 fines and a loss of 2 points. So right now im not looking for more power in my Yaris.

For what I bought this car for, the speed/HP is fine with me.

I don't know much about cars, but it seems kinda slow.

100HP Crotch rocket is what I thought when I bought mine. SHE NEEDS A TURBO...... Sounds like you need a Ferrari or something.

pennystocks · 07-03-2006, 03:23 AM

I beat a 95 civic 0-80 mph yay

Lost to a 05 prius tho, lost by 2 cars or so, 0-60 mph

The Yaris is one of the slowest cars on the market, i think it'd take an aveo tho. 0-60 is like 10 seconds or so, point is, its gonna be slow.

bulldogs2k · 07-13-2006, 01:58 PM

With the car so cheap, you can pay it off faster and by a bike/sports car. BTW i love this car!
