My 2012 Low and Slow Project
Hey all,
I have posted around here enough, I figured I should make a post of my car so I can update it as I modify it further. I own a 2012 Yaris 3dr 5spd, that I purchased as a cheap and reliable daily driver. This car is a big change from my previous rides, in that it is not at all sporty, but it gives me a chance to try a low and slow build instead of a more performance orientated build as I have done with previous cars. So far I love it, cruising in it is relaxing and worry free. Here are the mods I have done so far, it will grow over time however. My goal is to have a relatively clean look, that also trolls car enthusiasts slightly. Performance: - AFE intake - Tein S Tech Springs - Microimage transmission short shift kit - Microimage cable bracket - Microimage in cabin short shift kit - TWM cable bushings - TWM base bushings - TWM short shift lever - DIY spacers to lift up shift cage - DIY mountain bike shift knob Cosmetic: - Rota Slipstreams 15x6.5 in royal bronze - VMS spike lug nuts - DIY hood spacers - FormFit Hood protector - Yakima twotimer hitch rack. - Various stickers Interior/Audio: - Alpine digital media receiver - 55sq ft of SoundSkins sound deadener PICTURES https://imgur.com/XoCLwte https://imgur.com/6K1ONlu https://imgur.com/IDt7Xue I will update with new posts as I make progress. Next up is a Yakima roof rack with custom wood cargo platform, then the sound system. Thanks, Matt |

Nice! How are you liking both short throw shift kits?

I love it, but it is actually three kits. Both Microimage kits plus a twm kit, and I further shortened the twm kit.
1st to neutral is less than one inch, and the whole thing is extremely notchy. Total win in my book! |
