Yaris 1.3 Modding...

[Fever]

Hey TOC guys and gals,

I'm a member of LOC, but I am currently using my girlfriends Yaris 1.3 on a 54 plate, as my IS200 is out of action at the mo.

She's going to be without her Yaris for a whole week and as a thank you I wanted to get some mods sorted out for her! :D

Basically it's T3 spec, as it comes, no added extras...nothing has been done to it....yet ;)

I've got 200 quid to spend, so as a blank canvas....what would you guys advise I spend my cash on. Expected costs and the best companies to buy from would be ace! :)

Thanks in advance! Brgds - Neil

id say ice, its a good start to the modding or if no further mods are planned it will put a smile on her face, nothing better than being able to listen to you fav music from some decent Speakers, maybe a packge deal

i got my sub amp box and wiring kit for £140 and with left overs maybe consider some 6x9s and replacement door Speakers

ive always found www.cel-direct.com to be pretty reasonable

Apexi for that woosh sound ... use the change to buy beer

I'd say lower it 30 or 40mm with either TTE springs (which are re-badged Eibachs) or GMAX springs!

Do you have a rough idea of what she wants for her car? Its sweet that you are modding it for her but if my boyfriend added something to my car I didnt want I wouldnt be a happy bunny - even if it was just a kind gesture!

He also borrowed my 1.3 recently as his 206 broke down, but only for 3 days - the one thing he said I should definitely do..... lower it! I said I would if he paid but as yet no cough up of dosh for that!

Just giving you some girly advice is all! :P

Thanks guys.... but I was probably leaning to exterior mods...you know how girls go for things that look nice!! :D ....

Performance wise...she doesn't really care about that kinda stuff...I was thinking an exhaust but she wouldn't want anything too loud....just a rear box with 3.5" inch exit and a sportier note...or something like that. What choices are there on the Yaris exhaust?

Also would the left over cash stretch to any exterior mods...roof spoiler or something like that??

Cheers - Neil

Of course i do! :P.....no, seriously the same thought crossed my mind and I now know what she wouldn't want! :) ...the only thing, for some reason was not to get it lowered! .... she likes it the way it looks on the standard suspension!

I would get it lowered if i was you Neil !

LOL....so would I...but I must refer you to my last post my good man!

No no no no no get rid of the 4x4 look and she'll love you for it alos if you got the TTE springs, then it wouldnt void the warranty as its a optional dealer option ;)

Ok...these are my planned options...tell me if my cash would stretch and which one you think I should go for:

1. Exhaust back box and lowering springs (yeah i know...but I agree with Moffmo I think she'll like it when she sees the results!)

2. Exhaust and rear spoiler.

3. Rear spoiler and lowered.

......or does anyone here have a set of 15" or 16" alloys for sale! :D

I have my 16s for sale! The Tyres on them a bit wide...

-:Link:-

I'd say alloys or lowering.

Even a spoiler and some light brows maybe?

[Al J]

Quickest mod that will improve the appearance and probably not launch your girlfriend into ballistic mode would be a spoiler.

That's it, money spent.

Coolio...I have made my mind up now....will let you know when it's fitted! Thank you for all the input guys! :)

Oh and Moffmo...you have PM my good man! :D

[Blue84]

Definately agree with a TTE spoiler

And Light Brows ;)

[Ryan1985]

I've got T-Sport alloys up for sale with brand new tyres. Your looking at double your budget to buy them though! ;)
