Toyota BB JDM Build


Recommended Posts

i thought id add another car to my arsenal so took the plunge and bought a 1999 Toyota BB it was imported in 2008 and is totally JDM always had a soft spot for these little minivans and i needed it for a business venture.

shes a minter only 63,000 miles on her and im presuming some will be km's, a couple of minor scuffs on the front splitter she is 100% stock not sure if you guys know much about these but there built on a yaris/vitz chassis share springs brakes/disks etc etc and have a 1.5 VVTI T-Sport engine

i have some plans for her already, but theres nothing for them here in the UK not like the states where theres tons of aftermarket parts for these (known as the scion xb) will be going in for -3 camber shims & Tein S Tech Lowering Springs from japland

Pics from when I first picked her up

Tried so hard to find a right handed pillar pod but not a hope so improvised and drilled 3 60mm holes into the dash had no idea what was behind but it was worth the risk imo

Love it. Any manual conversions for these? Almost got one meself

yeah a Yaris T-Sport P1 gearbox is a straight fit but problems arise with where to put gear stick as theres no hole in the floor for a stick and front seats are a front bench so no room the auto gear lever is on the steering wheel and the handbrake is the 3rd pedal so that would all need modifying as well,

would be a total ballache to do tbh

They could just about get her on the ramps mechanic told me he's had Ferrari's get on the ramps with less trouble think that means she low lol :yahoo:
