8 Year Anniversary of my Turbo Yaris!
Hey all!
I'm not around much these days, but wanted to drop in to celebrate having my Yaris for 8 years as of this month. In addition, its been 5 years and 3 months since I successfully turbocharged the Yaris. I've since put on about 22k miles to the 41k total (yeah, I don't drive much ). I think the most unbelievable part is that, even with a heavily modded engine, the Yaris has still maintained an above average level of reliability (not to mention it's a blast to drive and still gets 32 mpg+ lol). Here's what she looks like these days. I'm pretty satisfied with the look, and have no further plans of modification. Bar maybe getting lightweight seats, this is a finished project. Also, I feel I owe this community a major thank you. If this place was as toxic as most other forums, I feel I may have never built such a great car. |

Congrats! I always did like the Yaris sedan a lot, and it's customization/upgrade potential. It was the only other car that I was really considering (used of course) if I didn't purchase a 2015 SE.
If only the Scion iA could look as good!!! |

Happy anniversary. Looks great.
Did you cut your front license plate to match the front bumper? Interesting. |

Congrats. Gives someone who is new to the Yaris some positive inspiration to build something 👍 for some reason all the pics aren't showing up for me 😔 which is annoying as the preview one looks amazing! Good job!!!!

I contacted Zage direct. They quoted $1200US + freight and charges. Coming to Australia, total was $1444US. I would then be up for import duty as well. Cheers Lep Sent from my SM-G920I using Tapatalk |
