I would jump over to the DIY section and check-up on how-to install your own grounding kit....

1) weight reduction, this can be taken to the extreme, removing back seats, spare wheel, etc...
2) lighter flywheel - have not yet seen this done on a Yaris, but would help help! 3) Don't buy heavy 18" rims |

The 1-2 are great ideas.
In my opinion it's wrong to put on 18' rims on a 1500cc car.

This is my main focus with my yaris as well, however most of the things needed to improve acceleration ill improve fuel economy aswell.
1. Grounding kit 2. Cold air intake(considering you won't be flooring it all the time ) 3. Light weight rims 4. a bit of weight reduction weight is the biggest factor in acceleration. the lighter the vehicle then the quicker it accelerates. I would have imcluded an exhaust too since it'll help the engine also over the stock resistng piping on the car now....however I won't be adding one until I find one with no done, and with not to much of a noise increase. Anyone have a sound clip of the tanabe???

no need to buy a "grounding" kit...just go to a stereo shop, and pick up some bluk large guage wire, and some connectors, and just go at it, double up any grounds you can find, ground from the battery, w/e you want, infact, throw an extra line from positive from battery to your alternator wheil your at it :)

This month's Import Tuner magazine has a DIY on a homemade grounding kit. "5HP for 99 cents" or some such thing.

99cents?
Anyone who buys it, please tell us what it says!

I am going to put in a grounding Kit into both my Yaris(manual) and my wifes Scion Xb, really think it will help out her Xb more than my Yaris. Hers is an auto, and from what I see it going to help out her car quite a bit.
Couple questions though..will the groundkit affect my warranty? does it help to attach the wire to more places than suggested in the DIY posted in this forum? |
