Best mpg saver investment: 3.99 for a bottle of maf cleaner.

How did I miss this? Such a fun read. Sort of.

Rear sway bar: Unnecessary. Silly.

This is simply ridiculous, especially when it's posted by someone who doesn't have one.

I had to vote other as I think suspension upgrades should include the swaybar. Both would have been my choice. Complete package so to speak.

This thread is entertaining.

I said swaybar. I've yet to add one to a Yaris, but I know the difference it made on my civics when I was modding them. It's a great bang for the buck mod and probably one of the first that I'll do to my new Yaris. (already have wheels so don't have to worry about that.)

I'm a firm believer in build the base from the ground up. Good tires (even if you don't replace wheels) brakes, chassis upgrades are the best places to start. Once you have a good solid foundation then start adding HP. Power is no good if you can't get it to the ground.

Body kits, etc. look ok but last on the list IMHO.

Put put in a Forenza sunglasses holder, which replaced the driver's OMG handle.

The following pic is not mine, but pretty much sums it up.

Although the Yaris has enough easily accessible storage, with this, I no longer need to leave my sunglasses in its case.

I voted "Other" - the most worthwhile mod in any car is the driver. Take an advanced driving course ,or actually ANY driving course (in the States, where you don't have to be able to drive to get a license) and learn what you're doing before modding the car. It is amazing what a good driver can do with a POS car....
And No, I'm not a "good driver" by most standards, but I've seen what it did to my son's ability to get around corners in a hurry or avoid trouble. I do OK.
