2009 iQ D4-D

[MartinBrynildsen]

Hello, 

I have been browsing the forum for a week or so now and it turns out to be a great knowledge base, I bought my Toyota iQ a month ago today and I love it so far. 

This is sort of an idea or intro into my plans for the car. 

It has the 1.4 D4-D engine, and the premium leather interior with navigation, which i think is rare here in Norway. It was supposed to be just a daily driver and I was going to leave it 100% original.. . But the bug bit me... Im looking for upgraded suspensionparts, interior modifications, wheels, tires and engine improvements. 

I was thinking of going with a chip from Racechip.com, but this might not be the best route to take as I might want to upgrade the exhaust, intake and possibly changing to a bigger intercooler if possible at a later point. 

If anyone has done similar mods to a 1.4 diesel please write me a direct message or post a link to where i can read about it. 

Anyways, here it is.

Toyota Owners Club is UK based, and the IQ D4D was never officially sold in the UK. Feedback may be limited.

Started researching a cheap and effective "big brake kit" might have found something in the Toyota family, and seems to be a direct bolt-on. 

The upgraded front caliper is has a 60mm piston(it is still a single piston caliper) over the original 48mm piston on an IQ caliper.

The brake rotors are 275mm, stock IQ is 255. The only downside is added rotating mass. Might look for a two-piece rotor to replace it later for a lower weight.

I will be picking these up early next month. Hope they fit.

Hello bro from which Toyota model is these disc and pistons ?

[SWEDENiQ]

I will be interested in how the larger brakes work, and if it is a very simple switch, so please keep us posted MartinBrynildsen!

Last week i picked up some new wheels for the IQ for the summer season, I was shocked that i could actually fit 4 wheels and tires in the car.

The next day just had to try them out!

Im pretty happy with them, just need to lower it now. Im still unsure if coilovers or loweringsprings is the way to go, as I want to keep the ride comfort reasonable. 

 

As for the brakes i was talkong about in my previous post, im picking them up early next week if the seller accepts my offer for them.

Thec actually fit! (sort off...)

The calipers and rotors mounted up without any modifaction. But to center the rotor in the caliper i need to move the caliper 3mm out. I'm probably going with the easy solution and buying a 3mm spacer and turn it down in the lathe. 

Sorry for the horrible lighting.

Hello Martin from Norway,

I’m Max from France,
Wahoo !!! We are not alone ! 🤝 

Yes, this forum is the best thing to happen for this unique car, a lot of knowledge here, thank you guys...

It’s a Nice little gem you have...

I’ve got my Brit bulldog 2010 IQ ²  D4-D since may 2019, the race chip GTS+XLR on it and a  Muffler Pipe Akrapovic.

It gives me a big smile everyday...

It’s nice to see your battle plan in motion, keep going !!!

If you get a new exhaust, I suggest an ecu remapping and you’ll get 130 hp !!!

take care
