Howdy. Let me start off by saying this is not my car. My girlfriend needed an inexpensive vehicle after getting a job out of town. After some searching, we came across a 5 speed '07 Yaris w/180k kilometers for $2500. Price seemed too good to pass up, so we bought it. Naturally, the car is not without its flaws. They are as follows:
1) It's loud. There is an exhaust leak somewhere, possibly flex pipe 2) Clutch is starting to go. Car needs to be given some throttle before letting it out, otherwise it'll shutter and stall. This'll force the clutch to spin upon engagement, which probably isn't the best thing. 3) Dash is lit up like a Christmas tree. Currently seeing the ABS light and SRS light. Sometimes the battery light comes on and flashes, but it always holds its charge and the alternator is producing power just fine. 4) Left flasher doesn't work. You can turn the stalk to the right and it'll work, hazards also work fine on all corners, but we're getting nothing signaling left. Swapped the underdash relay, that was not the problem. 5) Body isn't perfect. To be fair, this is not the car's fault. My gf gets a new scuff or scratch every week. It doesn't bother her nearly as much as it bothers me, but I thought I'd mention it anyways. So that's it really. Car is not a garage queen by any means, but I really would like to get it running right for her. Any help or guidance doing so will be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, cheers. |

Donut gasket was my 2nd guess. If it were up to me, I'd buy a DC header/downpipe to fix it, but she'd prefer to reduce the noise rather than increase it lol. Can you please link me the part?

Yeah, probably a bit much for a 1.5 lol
Got a 3" catback on my NA 3.8, probably right there at the limit before it costs me some power |

Thoughts on an Exedy OEM clutch kit or double the money and move up to a Spec Stage 1 or similar (car will most likely remain stock forever)?

We recently picked up 'new to us' 2006 Yaris RS. Loving this little car. My wife had an Echo for years and loved it. I'm doing some work on it which includes some body work (no rust, just dings), headlight restoration, an exhaust manifold and fixing the hatch lock.
I look forward to learning from all of you. And, I'll try to upload some pics.
