Should have warned me that pic was NSFW!

I'm gonna log on one day and your whole car is gonna be wrapped in carbon fiber...

[mr_miles]

haha, that would be interesting, to say the least :p When I pull my front bumper I'll probably end up covering the flat black part of the grill in FC for fun.

[dekraberd]

Your car look Serious. ^__^

i always wondered about this:

for slammed cars like mr_miles and 1.5, how do you guys drive over speedbumps? :S

[atxsteve1]

Man I hate speed bumps.

[4/20 NEVER FORGET]

You want to help me roll my fenders one of these days? I rub slightly in the front now since I swapped to the larger tires.

lol fair point. but i mean, it's not always avoidable though. how often do you scrape, if at all?

[mr_miles]

depends on where I have to go said day. if its all hwy driving, I probably wont scrape at all. my work is a little tricky though. the street it's on has a screwed up opening, so if there's any traffic I either wait or scrape :p

[mr_miles]

Here - Have some eye candy until I get my fog lights installed.







Oh yeah - factory sliders on aftermarket seats? very yes!



annnnd...my current ride height in the rear.



Last but not least, the megan exhaust! I like this one better than the Greddy TI-C, it fits the 2013 more I think. it taps the spring perch sometimes, though, which is weird.





i think I might see if it's possible to get it moved up about an inch, and over to the left about a half inch to stop it from tapping the spring mount. if not, oh well it can stay there.

installed a front strut brace also, no pics. forgot, etc. it'll make it's appearance in a day or two as I install fogs :)

[atxsteve1]

Lookin good. I like the greddy better though. Let me know what fog lights you get cause I need some too.

[mr_miles]

They're "Esuse" which is apparently a fairly well established aftermarket company.

They feel pretty decent, but I'll be able to give a better review once they're on the car. they come with the wiring harness, but we have it built in on the third gens, so I have to decide how to wire them. I think I'm going to attempt wiring them with the factory harness to keep it clean. I think I know what needs to be done, but I may have to ask CTScott for one little part though. But I know how much he hates fogs :p

[4/20 NEVER FORGET]

The megan muffler will look better if you take an inch or so out of the hangers, or maybe take the rubber attachments out and wire it into place, that might both raise it up and keep away from the suspension.

Kind of weird that it hits, I had the same problem. That said, it sounds good. Very quiet at low RPM but has a nice bark when you put your foot in it.

Once it gets nice I should come out and we should roll some fenders. It was good hanging with you when we put the wheels on my car.

[mr_miles]

definitely, im ordering smaller poly urethane hanger bushings to fix it :) im almost done with all this ot at work so ill have some free time for once lol, id be glad to help with the fenders. +1 for the megans sound, I like it better than the greddy now lol

[b20vteg]

this is about the only thread i look at here, keep it up mr miles! :D

Good to know. My new neighbors have a final generation Mazda RX-7 convertible with a dual aftermarket exhaust (they also have a Mitsubishi SUV and each drive both). When he or she starts the RX-7 up in the morning in the dark.....OMG, that thing is loud. Makes me wonder how many of my neighbors are awakened by the noise (very few lights on when I peer out an upstairs window). I plan to get an aftermarket exhaust on my next Yaris, and I don't want to do that to my neighbors (I think it is inconsiderate).

Ok. So I did some stuff last night. Some fun stuff. Look how clean this is!



Little fan. it'll probably never turn on since the OEM one doesn't, but oh well. And one of the horns.



I like the fogs.



both horns!



Then, a bath.



All that's left is to wire the switch and the fogs should function. I think.
