There have been people who have turboed the 1NZ, but I gather it doesn't handle boost very well.

You can still get another 30 hp out of it with easy bolt-ons.

My friend had an xB with m0dz. Pretty lame, but cool at the same time.

I like the xB, but the height ruins the handling.

It blows around like a wind sock that fell off its stick.

So I found out this car does not have a rear swaybar.

Not real? Is it made of plastic or something?

No, it doesn't exist.

Oops, I can't read. I read "rear" as "real". :P

It has a torsion beam, right? That is the sway bar.

I don't own a Vitz. I own a Belta.

Saw a red Yaris sedan today- with black 5-spoke rims, with a red stripe around the edge of them, almost like a really skinny red whitewall. looked tyte. It might have been lowered an inch, too.

Two turbos and a supercharger.

When I see a modded Yaris or the like, I just have to wonder why.

Vitzes are sold at Toyota Netz dealers. The tag line for Netz is "make the style". Granted, the Belta isn't sold at Netz dealers, but oh well.

Cheap way to have fun. It's an agile little car.



Besides, you lust after the Twingo 133, who's base is smaller and just as mundane.

I meant more along the lines of cosmetic mods.

Oh, yeah. I suppose. I don't mind a neat little lip kit, or a mild lowering, but some guys go all out.

I need a swaybar....installation looks stupid simple.

Talk about your obscure references. You title your thread about a dealer network that 2 people in the USA have heard of that sells a car that isn't your car.  :hammerhead:
