Fogdoggydog's Daihatsu YRV

[Fogdoggydog]

i got my ass wooped by a 1.3 Daewoo YRV the other day (please, no laughing!!!!)

It was this car that prompted Phil to join this forum, but back then it belonged to my younger brother.

Since then I have taken ownership of this 1.3 DVVT powered Daihatsu YRV. As standard it outputs almost 90bhp, but with the custom exhaust and giant induction cone I think it may be pushing the magic 100 mark.

The pics below show the car as I got it.

The design of this car is taken from the glanza V's, as you can probably see that the front looks a bit like a glanza, they designed a 1.3 turbo for this car too pushing 133hp just like the glanza's ;)

[Fogdoggydog]

I think the YRV is identical to the Toyota Yaris underneath too.

Only problem with the YRV Turbo's is that they were all automatics, meaning my YRV is only about half a second slower 0-60 @ 8.6secs. Been a while since I timed it though. Should do a test run sometime soon again.

[Mikey Jay]

Nice, I like it a lot.

See, 5 door cars can be cool

(all you 5 door haters ;) )

Any pics of the engine bay?

Love the wheels by the way

[Guest Enzo]

liking that mate ;)

[Nanglebadger]

she's not in bad nick either! Fog has cleaned her up rightly since he got his mitts on her, and him and my wee bro have been doin some subtle moddin, i'll not say too much as it aint my car and therefore not my place to blab the current mods. but i am happy to see how much tidier she is already now that fogdog has his hands on her, his bro was a bit rash on her, she's now gettin some TLC. the wheels really suit the car i think, silver on silver, nice aggressive wheel which as u all know is wot phil likes! Mr fog has some plans for her, lookin forward to seein how these pan out in the coming months, he has good taste does the Fogdog!

[SiCaln]

yea im gna have to agree and say i likes

[Fogdoggydog]

Thank you please!

Since getting my hands on it I have debadged it, added a gigantic induction cone, and meshed the front bumper and grill

Please, you see:

The mesh will be getting sprayed black next week hopefully.

[edit]I know there is still a 'D' badge on the back, but that's cause there are holes behind it. I'll take that badge off when when I have something else to spray at the same time.[/edit]

[Mikey Jay]

Nice, really like it, as said before ;)

Certainly is one biiig induction cone

[Nanglebadger]

esss nniiiyyyce!!!

Phil.

[SiCaln]

i reckon u should get the bonnet extended so that it fills the gap where the mesh is

[Idrees]

Thats pretty smart is that!

[lobotomy]

Is that a daewoo?

Sorry only jesting Paint the mesh black and it'll be pretty trick!

[Fogdoggydog]

i reckon you should get the bonnet extended so that it fills the gap where the mesh is

I think because the car sits to tall and the bonnet slopes quite a bit, the grill helps break up the shape a bit. Besides, what if i ever get this kit?

Also be running a cold air feed from behind that grill once I get some suitable tubing.

[Guest Enzo]

that pic is the nuts!!! the fornt bumpers quite similar to the varis bumper you get

[Mikey Jay]

That kit would look good yeah.

And could make Phil even more jealous

[SiCaln]

i cant believe u said if i get?! that kit is awesome, u need to have it!

[Fogdoggydog]

There's only one factor stopping me - cash!

All donations welcome however! ;)

[SiCaln]

how much does it cost?

[Sparky]

That would look awsome!!!!
