Automotive
Welcome to Sprint's automotive division. Since 2005 I have be dedicated to the modification of the 1999-2005 Toyota Yaris. With various demo cars past and present showcasing the possibilites of this underated little car. I'm very keen on the aesthetics of cars so you won't find 'banging' sound systems or massively tuned engines but nor will you be dissapointed by the performance.
Current Demo Cars
Sprint currently has two modified Toyota Yaris demo cars owned by myself and my girlfriend. All the parts featured are linked on this site's 'Links' section. If you have any questions please contact me.
Ive included a gallery for each of the cars to see it please click the 'View Project' thumbnail next to each specification.

Purchased in 2008 when I felt I'd out grown the 1.0 Litre variety that i'd driven since I first past my test. The T-Sport was always regarded by the motoring press as more of a 'warm' hatch compared to the competition, but it still goes.
Due to my age insurance premiums define what I can and cannot afford to fit to the car so big modifications are limited at the moment but there's plenty I can do without affecting performance.

About
My name is Ed Chambers; I'm 21 and a Graphic Design BA (Hons) student from York, UK.
I've long had a powerful interest in Graphic Design, particularly screen based illustration and interfaces for websites.
I'm a respected pixel artist and I've had the experience of designing and building websites for myself and clients.
I'm also I'm deeply intrigued by the Japanese modified car scene and an active member of various car club forums mainly Yaris Club UK.
For me Sprint serves not only as a graphic identity but also as a tuning company for the cars I own and work on.
As my knowledge and skill improves I see sprint growing into a much bigger realm, a design studio or a garage even.
