  1. Found this when looking at wheels on Gumtree. It seems Toyota Australia in 2008/09 approached Auto Salon to upgrade a Yaris and a Rav 4 for a car show.

    Almost a decade along the Yaris is up for sale. It appears to have also lost its original titanium wheels as well.

    Here is some original info on it:

    And you can find plenty of articles on it including posts from the head of the project on other Yaris forums by googling: toyota camouflage yaris project ng 

    It would be cool if it could get into the hands of those that would really look after it. Hopefully a forum member picks it up.

    I would assume about the same. I ended up installing some King Springs standard height springs to get rid of some slight scrubbing on undulating roads and sharp speed bumps when I had passengers in the rear, and it's been perfect since. The springs may need to be replaced over time to continue avoiding any scrubbing issues; hoping that's quite some time in the future though. Below is a pic so you can see the result. It does appear about 1 cm higher than stock without passengers or heavy cargo. I'm not keen on rolling the guards, so this is the best solution.


     

    Phil, i too recently changed to 19"s and have issues with scrubbing on bumpy roads when i have passengers in the rear. Do the standard height king springs have a stiffer spring rate or what?

  3. Pretty quiet these days... lots of ideas but not much cash to spare. I de-monobrowed my Camry today, almost had the car 2 1/2 years, so at this point I'd just prefer looks over protecting the bonnet. Also no pics of new wheels on until now.
