Toyota Vios is a 4-door sedan manufactured by one of the Japanese manufacturer, Toyota being introduced in Asia Pacific region in 2002. The name 'Vios' brought the meaning of "to move forward" in Latin.
The first generation was Vios 1.5, codenamed NCP 42 and has 2 type of it. The S version only comes with a four-speed automatic transmission complete with digital speedometer and other electronic instrumental. The E version was available in both 5-speed manual and 4-speed automatic transmissions include conventional meters.
For the first version of the Toyota Vios (NCP 42), Ultra Racing came up with 11 bars in total but 9 bars can be installed in a car at once. A stable steering handling can be improve by installing the front strut : UR-TW2-074 (2-point) or UR-TW4-038 (4-point). Fender bar (UR-FD3-117) is placed at each side of the fender to give extra help in holding the chassis during cornering as it helps to neutralize the shock of impact.Rear strut (UR-RE2-039) has the same function as the front strut and it is place at the rear, in the boot of the car to be exact. Room bar (UR-RO2-091) is installed between the front seat and the back seat of the vehicle which helps to strengthen the chassis from inside but most people do not really prefer to install the bar in their vehicles as they find it a a bit of disturbing as it is at the feet area.
One of the function of the anti roll bars are for smooth cornering as it helps to stabilize the vehicles during sharp cornering. Every car without anti roll bar/s obviously not stable during the cornering as one side of the vehicle will slightly lifted and it helps to increase the life span of the tires as well as the suspensions. The front and rear anti roll bar are made of real solid steel. The UR choose steel than aluminium as the compound is much stronger than aluminium. Front anti roll bar is located at the front lower of the chassis (UR-AR27-408) and the rear anti roll bar is located at the rear of the chassis. Rear anti roll bar for this first generation has two sizes; 16mm (UR-AR16-125) and 19mm (UR-AR19-041) so its either 16mm or 19mm.
Lower arm bars are front lower, rear lower and side lower or side floor bar. Front lower (UR-LA4-141) and rear lower (UR-RL4-212) help to reduce the vehicles bumpiness by holding the chassis at the front and rear lower. Side lower 8-points (UR-SD8-273) bar helps to hold each left and right as well as the front and the rear lower chassis. These bars not only help the driver to drive in comfort and contribute to the safety of the driver and the passengers and obviously the chassis as the vehicle without safety bars, the other part of the body is slightly not in the right position. One of the obvious one is when the technicians want to unlock the screws, they have to pull the body so that the job is a little easier.
