Krispie G's French Built 1.0

[Krispie G]

Nice :) yours seems a bit more metallic-y and darker than mine :P

[Brutank]

Be good to see height change with lowering springs, are they 35mm & 38mm?

[Krispie G]

Yeah I think so, it'll be nice to get rid of the "monster truck" wheel arch gap as I heard it been called :-P

[Brutank]

Yea I know the feeling ! Mines sstandard height at the moment :(

[Krispie G]

Yeah I know it's horrid :-( but the springs are only a temporary stage as I'm looking for coils to drop her even lower :-D

[Brutank]

yea me too :) post a picture when lowering springs are on :) 

 

 

[Krispie G]

Don't worry I will :) she'll be looking well when there on :D

[Krispie G]

So as we can see there hasn't been any progress made on the car, as I'm still waiting to get this stupid cast off >:(

But i have bought more parts to on as soon as i get a chance :)

 

The parts that i've bought are a set of boot dampers from a 2003 vw passat that i'll turn into bonnet dampers, just hope there not too strong and ruin the bonnet :P and i'm also waiting to get a laguna splitter for the front to tidy it up a bit :)

[Krispie G]

The day has finally arrived that the "monster truck" arches are finally gone :) I was hoping it was only gonna be a 90 minute job but it took 3 hours and me and my mate spent 45 minutes taken if the first wheel :O







I so pleased with how the car is at the minute, it's alot firmer than standard but not as rough as people made it out to be :P now to tidy the bodywork and get some alloys :D

[Brutank]

Looking way better now mate! Nice one

[Krispie G]

Thanks lad :) I don't think I've stopped smiling since its been lowered, if only she handled this well as standard :p

[Brutank]

Thanks lad :) I don't think I've stopped smiling since its been lowered, if only she handled this well as standard :p

 

Just in looks its 10x times batter ! 

I think lower profile tires also improve this ! 

Will let you know as have 45 profile tyres and BC coilovers on their way :) 

Any more mods to be done on the Yaris pal ? 

[Krispie G]

Just the wind deflectors, stoptech slotted break discs and a TRD oil and radiator cap :D

[Brutank]

Nice keep us updated :) 

[Krispie G]

Oh don't worry I will :lol:

[Callum1sz]

Great job man i will keep an eye on this one

[Krispie G]

Thanks man :-) I'll keep it updated as often as possible

[Krispie G]

So its time for another little update :) I recently bought some new alloys for the wagon, they are ae92 corolla GTI wheels :) I picked them off a Lad on TOC-IRL (toyota owners club Ireland) who had them on a 1996 corolla saloon



they are 175/65R14 they're in good condition aside from leaky valves :/ I doing the car in stages, as these will be replaced by next summer with some new alloys not really sure what but something with a good bit of dish and a fair bit wider that stock :)



Now with the car coming upto 150k miles I'm going to service the usuals even though the oil and filter were changed in the new year, so hopefully this will keep her ticking over for another 50k miles :p

[Callum1sz]

Nice man

[Krispie G]

Thanks bud :)

[Krispie G]

As the title says i own a french yaris, which turns out to be false after 9 months of ownership i have finally found out that i own a japanese yaris :D much to my delight

 

Very little progress has been made since the last post, but i'm some planning for the next mods and it looking good :) 

[Callum1sz]

Nice man I wish mine was jap built .jap is best.i thinks cars should be built in the country there from.there are only a couple of things that tell if they are jap or French built

[Krispie G]

Yeah I love jap :) yeah mine would of been built in Japan for the European market

[Callum1sz]

if it's not jap its crap lol

[Krispie G]

That's exactly how to live life :D except for the past 9 months were I thought it was French :p
