What You All Have Been Waiting For

i cant see a 1.0 getting close to that, unless you put a busa lump in there

Then that would be a 1.4

Edit- How much does the Yaris weigh?

 

[Vigoro]

I thought the busa engines were a 1.3? Or has it changed

I don't like the tints, screams out "barry boy" to me, but apart from that it looks pretty nice.

950Kg

Bickering aside thats quite a nice Yaris, a lot nicer than I thought it would be.

Unsure on the tint's but the rest looks good and works well with the car.

actually its 935Kg unless the guys machine was wrong but i only had like £5 worth of petrol in it. Also biggest engine in the Yaris is 1.5l in the MK1 P1&P2, the biggest in the MK2 is 1.8L

Also it will look a lot better when i tint the fronts either 5% or 10% which is legal BTW cause i check with the local police station first

950Kg is most probably the wet weight.

It will look crap, you need something to break up the black, like silver wheels.

Bloody hell - what a lard ****. Get it on a diet!

 

[BD10NNF]

it use to have silver but it didnt look as good. Also thats why im doing yellow calipers to break it up a little. Was thinking to do the outside edge of the alloys red but not sure

 

[Matt82]

if you keep adding paint itll be over 1000kg soon and then youll have lost the TWOBHP advantage

Im going to get rid of my space saver wheel so that will save some weight also thinking of getting rid of the drivers seat and getting a sports seat cause the drivers seat is a tad bit poor but think its rather chavy

Then the carpets, door cards, sound deadening etc. Maybe then it'll be lightweight. That's assuming you don't care about the resale value. Although it's a Yaris so I don't suppose it really matters.

Stripping out the above from my old Sierra shaved nearly 1.5s off my 1/4 mile time without doing any engine mods.

Get a plain black one with no logos or any daft stitching and it'll look ok. Function over style.

Something like:-

But maybe smaller shoulder "wings".

Lol, according to spec - 950kg and 103bhp = 108.42bhp/tonne
His - 935kg and 105bhp = 112.29bhp/tonne

Way to go

 

[BD10NNF]

yeah i was looking at that seat seems nice.

Also im think of just removing the rears once i get coilovers

 

[agw_01]

Don't forget to fold the rear seats down for maximum acceleration!

Keeping the boot and front windows open helps aerodynamics, so my mate tells me.

 

[LostPhil]

I hear Hammerite's the fastest paint for calipers.

Childish bickering by 90% of the people that have posted in this thread aside, I personally think the Yaris looks cool as does the Lupo. So what if the performance isn't all that, he's a young chap who's customised his car and is proud of it. It's no different to anyone else here who takes pride in their car.

I noticed some similar nonsense on a recent post about an E46.

I got flammed for saying it was anything but 'ooooossssomee'

I got banned from the bmw5 forums for not saying 'thats nice' when somebody posted yet another 520i on 19 inch repz
