bought a car :-)

[pete172]

had a cup from new but fancied a change so sold it and bought a new yaris t-sport.

but after 14 months needed to cut my outgoings so sold up an bought a ......





phase 2 172. in the fastest colour, red ;-)

only got it today but feels different to the cup, but not in a bad way just different. doesn't feel as dynamic but deffo more refined.

murder getting used to clutch again though. cant help but rev balls off it but it's better than stalling it.

pooh site i know but this was my cup

0-60 is around 8.7. slightly faster than the time gives credit for, as it has to be in 3rd so another gear change slows things down.

toyota do after market supercharger for them. extra 40 bhp for £2.5k and you get to keep your warrenty.

yeah they look good. was lowered on eibach springs, still felt sooooo high compaired to clio. i'm 5'8" and used to struggle wasing the centre of the roof, slightly easier after lowering but not much.
in japan they did yaris 1.5 turbo but never got released over here, god knows why?
