I started using Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions after seeing it on Project Farm. It is probably the easiest wax I ever used on a beater, and lasts a long while.
Sweet.
I've read that they don't make any difference but I ordered platinum/iradium spark plugs https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00L3XGGJ2?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share. The mpg is probably just a coincidence.
It's asthetic. I like the way they look. I also went to Chris fixs youtube https://youtu.be/UEJbKLZ7RmM and made them clear again so they look great
09 automatic here. I changed the spark plugs for premiums and bought a bluetooth connector https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073XKQQQW?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share to help see rpm and mpg.
Prior to the change of the plugs it read about 36 mpg hwy and 39 after.
I also swapped out the radio through crutchfield (all parts that for the car) to have native bluetooth in the receiver instead of using aux. There are a bunch of youtube videos to show how.
I watched YouTube and swapped out for led headlights. Made the car look sick at night.
Lastly, good luck trying to hold on to your plastic hubcaps when you make sweet turns!

Been running this 2 years know.
Its a budget/quality setup in my opinion.
Also rear sway bar.

Not 100% if these are the ones I got but think so.
The wiring in the link is for power adjustments.Looks complicated but it was really simple.
Not sure what he did for the actual indicator light but I decided to tap into side markers for simplicity.
I use this “VeePeak” Bluetooth scanner I found on Amazon. It’s great because it uses a Bluetooth connection while many cheaper products use WiFi, which interferes with your internet connection. Also this scanner is compatible with android and iOS. I use this to read the coolant temperature and RPM on my 2007 Yaris, though you can read data from basically any sensor on the car. I also use this app which works well.
Here are some of the projector lights in question, there are cheaper places to buy but this clearly shows what I'm considering. The price is usually between $400 and $500, not exactly cheap which is why id like to know if anyone else has had these or anything similar before buying.

I got my spoiler from the junkyard for $75. It's carbon fiber so I believe it is this one. There are mounting points on the OEM spoilers where you can drill into the car. Problem is the holes need to be square. Alternately you can use some 3M body panel double sided tape like this. This is the tape I used. I've had mine on for 6 months and it has no signs of failing. 3m tape is no joke.
Here is where I got it from. $15.00 USD. My car is 2017 Toyota Yaris L base model
Whiteline in the rear, its 2 point adjustable. Here's a link.

I bought this kit on amazon and did the install myself. I had never done drum breaks before, so the rear was tedious. Overall it was a pretty fun job. Plenty of YouTube videos.

if you're not set on a vent holder, this one might be an idea. It's the one I have and it's really good, secure and I completely adjustable.
I used this library. 99% of the code was already there. All I had to do was find the UDID number for my bluetooth scanner the esp32 would connect automatically. Now using the library I can pull just about any information from the OBDII port.

I'm wondering if you could contact Spec-D if they still might stock it. It is very similar to the one on a Honda Fit if you look closely.
Money… the wheels and tires were the big nut at about $1200 shipped / mounted, steelies would have been fine but I wanted some flare.
Strut spacers were about $180 - Dealparts Leveling Lift Kit 1.2 inch 30mm for Toyota Aqua, Aygo, Belta, Corolla Axio, Corolla Fielder, Ist, Porte, Prius C, Ractis, Scion XD, Spade, Urban Cruiser, Verso-S, Vitz, Yaris https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09CTZ832V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_7811WARMXNZFYWK837Y9?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Labor - tbd. It took a skilled mechanic about 4 hours between some cutting and fabbing.
Car was $3500 + $1200 wheels / tires + $175 strut spacers + $800 labor on the safe side.

When I Google searched it I thought it may have been compatible with other years, I looked it up under your year and it looks like it should fit.

There is a belt tension tool you should use. It measures the tension level of the belt so you know how tight to make it.
Need to find the tension spec for your engine though.

I bought this CD mount last week and it’s great. Super sturdy, fully adjustable and it was $20. Can’t go wrong.

Also if you drive on the freeway add the rear swaybar. Best possible mod you can do to this car other than lowering it. It truly helps with the body roll issues and helps the car feel more stable. I went with the Whiteline and it is amazing. Im not sure if it is interchangeable between the 2007 which is what I own.

I may just rreplace the upstream one.
Probaly my best bet after looking around.Remember Canada here.
Quote from someone @ yarisworld
( if replacing the oxygen sensor before the catalytic converter. The second oxygen sensor after the catalytic converter only tells the computer that the catalytic converter is still functioning but will not adjust air or fuel mixture.
That's why the first oxygen sensor is often referred to as the air fuel ratio sensor.
I think I got here but not sure.I live in canada btw.Here is part and the model number.This should help you if you want to order somewhere else?

I bought this bluetooth adapter a few months back. It's pretty easy to install and the sound comes through nice and clear.
