The Lift Kit Thread aka The Canadian Commuter mod

The suspense is killing me....Hurry up!!!
Lol

[myfirstyota]

I think a lot of people (myself included) have been waiting for this moment....drum roll please!







The truck is also lifted 4" :)

[WeeYari]

In the words of Tag Team...Whoomp! (there it is)
That is f'n insane.

[myfirstyota]

I take that as a compliment WeeYari!
The pics dont do it justice. It looks bigger/taller in person!

[06YarisRS]

Well, that didn't disappoint. It looks stellar. How about a ground level shot just back far enough to get the whole side view in frame?

I'll get it cleaned up a bit and take a few more pics in the next few days for sure.

I've put a few km on it today and it actually rides really good. Stock yaris struts up front and stock yaris shocks with xD springs in the rear.

As for power... well in the city it's not bad at all. Just wind the gears out another couple hundred rpm. On the highway... be prepared to downshift on long/steep hills. As for getting on the hiway, speed is easiest acquired in 3rd. I basically leave it in third all the way down the ramp.

It doesn't feel any less stable than a stock yaris. With the 2" wheel spacers, offset rims and wider tires in the front, plus hub spacers in the rear its approx. 5" wider track in the front and approx 6" in the rear.

For the first time since I was a kid, I can't wait for snow!

Time for a 2ZR swap.

[myfirstyota]

Already have the harness, engine mount and computer ;)

Wow, looks great. Mine is on hold until funds come available for the tires. I am lifted but still on the 185/65/14 winter tires.

[Leegamer]

aw man, this is so awesome. 2ZR and a limited slip and this thing would be such a beast.

It's already a beast, though. lol.

An lsd would be killer. Just not sure if I'm down for the cost. Pretty sure I seen a shop selling quaife lsd here in the gta. Problem is it was $1600. And that doesn't include installation or replacing whatever parts in the trans that are worn. Just not sure I can justify the price.

I need one! Look's awesome! Great to see the fabrication and now this.

C'mon down!

No camera trickery here

[myfirstyota]

388 km to 34.5L
Puts it somewhere in the 8-9 l/100km range.
I'm a bit hard in my driving style so I think there's room for improvement.

Was also thinking 6 speed swap to compliment the 2zr next year.

That thing looks so rugged! Major kudos for completing this amazing transformation. I think my 2008 Yaris needs this treatment.
