Im trying to figure out a easy way to make my yaris fast... help!

[nsracing]

Ok i just bought a yaris liftback. my friend just bought a new car as well, shes been wanning to race. but with the kinda car she has ill get killed, and i dont wanna lose. So i was wondering if theres anything you guys can think of that i can do to my car to make it faster with the least amount of money... then again go all out if need be i only gotta beat a 2006 mitsu lancer OZ, it cant be that hard right?

[Unknown_Epiphany]

.... Are you kidding me? The Lancer OZ I believe has 160 HP or something close to that and weighs 2900 pounds. I seriously think you are joking.

For about $4,500 you should be able to get a Super Charger installed... Lord knows your not going to do the Installation!

:evil:

[turboyaris]

your cheapest bet would be to let all the air out of your friends tires... cant roll to quick that way,

if your looking to spend a little bit more money buy a swedish made penis enlarger (provided your a male) and go to town... then after she beats you, you can whip it out and impress her with your massiveness.... then I'm sure she will soon forget the outcome of the race and you will be allllllll set. haha jk

Don't listen to this guys! Your Yaris can take a 160Hp lancer every day!

Here are a few tips:

Look in ebay for Hp adders... you will find some performance chips that can add 50% more power to the Yar...

You need to shape all the weight you can from your car! Take out your seats... Profesional drivers dont even wear shoes!!! in order to save some weight!

You ned to lower your front tire presure down to 7psi, that's right 7psi... This is for super maximum grip power... that way you can rev your car up to 6,500rpm and dump the clutch at once for a super take off that will leave that Mitsu looking at your dust

If you have an Auto, just put it in neutral, rev it up to 6,500 and trow D....!


But the most important of all....... please take a video!!:thumbup: so you can show us when you are kicking that Mitsu's butt.

Good luck dude!

[turboyaris]

all joking aside, just race them and see where you stand, it should be fairly close. and if your ego would get hurt that badly, just claim you missed 3rd gear or something. If its an auto, just pretend toyota had a recall on your flux capacitor and you haven't been into the dealership to have it replaced. She is a girl what does she know.

[FlintS]

Take every single piece of weight out of your car. Make sure you have just enough gas to race and get to a gas station.. I would recomend a Cold Air Intake First, Springs and struts next, after that a short shifter, then a few cheap goodies like grounding wires, pullies, etc.. The stock intake sux, but at the same time, the suspension will lunge so bad you cant really launch. I am hoping for some motor mounts to come out soon as well...

[FlintS]

did I mention a good little trip to Mexico... They sell some bad ass sky rocketts you can duct tape onto your spoiler.... He will be laughing so damn hard how's he going to drive??

[nsracing]

ha im temped to try it stock but im not lookin to lose. I understand some of you fools think its impossible But for the ones that have given me good advise i thank you! Now if yall have anymore please tell i just gotta find all the stuff you guys are telling me about. see now i got the money thats by no means a problem. Just i dont know about these cars. Im a dirt track guy so its totally different then this.

I'm with Flint :thumbup:

[Astroman]

Are you racing a quarter mile type race, or a track type? If your just going straight, you could use two space saver spares on the back of the car, the less weight in the back of the car the better. It is all dead weight back there. Also make sure you pump a lot of air (but not too much of course!) into those rear tires. You want any power to be transferred as forward motion, not downward motion in the rear. Loosing weight, again mostly in the rear, is your best and cheapest (free) method. Ditch the floor mats, extra seats, hubcaps, etc. You can also remove the alternator and do short runs with just the battery. BUT you WILL lose use of your water pump, possibly ruining your engine if it overheats. You could also start the car, then remove the battery. Lose weight, that is your best bet, remove anything from the car you can. If you do have some money get a cold air intake, exhaust. Don't waste your money with premium gas or fuel additives, or yellow stickers.:evil:

he is not realy that far off... yes you can start your car and remove your battery without harming your computer or alternator

[RogueYaris]

my one and only suggestion for you would be to kill your ego and just race her. if you can't handle racing someone (a girl for that matter), losing and then not being able to resist slitting your wrists you need some serious help.

edit* you bought a YARIS! i would imagine that you looked at the specs on these cars if you were worried about racing anything.

[joey1320]

all joking aside, just race them and see where you stand, it should be fairly close. and if your ego would get hurt that badly, just claim you missed 3rd gear or something. If its an auto, just pretend toyota had a recall on your flux capacitor and you haven't been into the dealership to have it replaced. She is a girl what does she know.



lmao... man i hate those shitty flux capacitors:mad:
Toyota hasn't come up with a updated part since the '88 GTS.

anyways all joking aside, remove weight. do the ghetto air box trick and just race and see what happens... have fun man!

[mojoyaris]

I haven't seen a flux capacitor since the DeLorean that went back to the future.
Instead of drag racing her, Take her on a tight road course Auto cross or pylon race. Your Yaris and it's smaller size should out handle the bigger Mitsu.
And of course lose some weight.

[Black Yaris]

I took on a 05 Lanser OZ, he wooped me, but he had a lot more mods than me, if it were not for his suspension upgrades I would have been able to out manover him, but he was lowered with upper and lower bars front and rear, I had no chance.... L8er in the summer after I lower her, I will get my rear seats, spare and BS and run him again ans see what's up

[nsracing]

my ego wont hurt for this girl is my girlfriend but, she wants to race me on the street because ive kicked her ass every time on the track, she bought the mitsu in 06 and shes been wanting me to do things to it ever since but then she got the idea she can race me and win on the street. So i go and buy a car that i thought would be funny as hell to be beat by and i got the yaris. Now im getting better feed back now. the guy who said to cock slap her... i dont need to, she already likes it. haha... i just wanna kick her ass because ill never hear the end of it. ok i think im gunna get a exhaust and a cold air intake. What else? lightin it... ok take out the rear seats, good as done. what else?

[nsracing]

i have a better idea , someone just make a damn list of things to do and ill print the bitch off and do them. Everyone chip in and ill fuckin make one big ass list

[RogueYaris]

ok well if you're serious about it and want to do some street racing (which i don't condone), what time frame are you looking at? if you have the time then look into getting a turbocharger. there is already a member here that has had is turbocharged. springs, racing headers, CAI, grounding kit, lightened crankcase pulley, CAT-back exhaust, i'd estimate about 15x7's (don't want too big, damn inertia) with some sticky tires, remove rear seat and passenger seat, spare tire etc. that's all i have for now

[forpinks]

OK this is one of the best ways to win...

First off, call your Toyota dealer buddy or Mitsubishi... and ask him for a test drive of the tC or EVO IX for 2hours cause you really want one... and then call your "girl friend" and ask her to race you with the tC or EVO then

YOU "WILL" beat her pussy and ass bad dude! plus your Yaris wont have a problem with overheating,running out of fuel, ECU being screwed because lack of DC power, buying ratchets to take out the seats, waste a few miles on the odometer and more! also you get to test drive a new car for free! WINNER GETS A FREE "BJ" or something...

THIS MAKES SENSE!!!:biggrin:

[eTiMaGo]

as much as I hate to say it, cheapest way to get the yaris fast in a straight line, nitrous...

[ChinoCharles]

Or just use your time travelling technology to go back in time to buy a Yaris TS :burnrubber:

The absolute fastest way to make a Yaris fast is to sell it and buy... something faster.

[yrsdrgn]

tttt ROFL

[FlintS]

List:
1. Remove all unwanted weight. (Floor Mats, Spare Tire, Jack, Low Gas, empty beer bottles.. anything that is not bolted in and moves...)
2. Cold Air Intake. (Better throttle response, a few ponies....)
3. Short shifter (the stocker has way to much throw in it for quick shifts)
4. Springs (helps get rid of the squatting at the launch)
5. Struts (You already have the springs out... also helps with squatting)
Your up to a grand with those mods....
if you still have money...
6. Exhaust ( not to noticable, but will help slightly)
7. Headers (with intake and exhaust already you will need headers)
8. pulleys ( frees up a little more power)
your up to $1500 now....
9. Your next big move would be bigger light weight rims and tires. (I run 205-40-17. The 205 is a ton of more grip then our stock 185 or whatever they were..)
Now that your well over $2000. Call it good and learn how to drive it. After that there is only one more thing you can do..
10. Turbo (Need I saw more?)

[ChinoCharles]

I dont know what calculator you're using, but what you have listed there is well over "well over $2000."

[FlintS]

I bet it is within a couple hundy either way. Intake $200, Shifter $150, springs $200, struts $400, exhaust $200, Headers $200, Pulleys $125, rims and tire package $600.. All the rum and beer for the installs...$400... (plus or minus on that one) what is that $2125 retail. Buy used or group buy and it gets under $2000 real quick..... Just my $.02...

[Nimble]

Don't disagree with chino, he's the resident shit disturber. can't you read? Besides, he'll unleash a fury of indiglo neons on you the world hasn't seen. It will be painful.

[ChinoCharles]

Nimble, I'd retaliate but you're so insolent and destitute I'll just let you speak for yourself. But hey, by all means... keep following me around the boards knocking my every word. Makes you look sweet.

$200 exhaust? Sounds a little cheap for something that belongs on the track. You can triple that for the real deal. $600

Pulleys, double it. $125 for the crank pulley, but there are a couple others you'll want. $250

Rims will cost you 400 bucks at the low end, so unless you're getting bargain rubber (which you won't do if you really want to "go fast") that price was a little low too. Say $850 for cheap rims with nice tires installed.

You're looking at 3 to 4 grand depending on how much quality you're looking for. I'm not nit-picking Flint, just trying to "keep it real." :laugh:

[FlintS]

All you need is the crank pulley. I am not talking about a full on j pipe back exhaust, just a simple bolt on.. Cat back is all you need. I know I bought Some Kosei K1Ts rims that are lighter then stock. 17's with bridgetone G009tires. The best track/street tires I have had.. they were like $650 shipped to my door. Deals are out there, you juat have to smart about what you buy... by the way, what exhaust are you looking at for $600??? It is a simple cat back 2.25" piping... I have bought full turbo back for a little more in 3" for all my other cars.. Chino, Not trying to dis you in any way, I am just stating that if you are smart enough you can do it all for a lot less then many think.. I have spent my whole life in this industry and I laugh at all the kids that come into spending full retail plus some to fix up there cars... Once again not to dis, but there are deals out there to be had...

[FlintS]

This in turning into on great thread jack...... Should we start another one labeled "Who has the bigger dick?"
Just a joke guys..... no offense.....

i fookin recon...but it is quite amusing when they throw words at each other.

[ChinoCharles]

OK, OK, you guys are right. I'm sorry for the thread pollution, it stops now... information only. :biggrin:

Let me sum my thoughts on the "fast" debate up in two sentences.
[1] No Yaris will ever be fast without one or a combination of the following: engine swap, turbocharger, supercharger, built engine, nitrous, proper tune.
[2] Since it costs so much money to complete any of the aforementioned steps, it makes no sense to cut any corners on any of the work or parts leading up to it

Or one sentence...
If you're going to do it, do it right.

If you're going to bolt stuff on your car, that is great... I think it is a great way to express yourself and enjoy your days. However, don't live under the illusion that you'll be fast. If you wanted a super cheap and easy way to fast, you bought the wrong car. Having said that, put $10,000 into a $13,000 Yaris the right way and you suddenly have a $23,000 car that is nothing short of fast, so in that way maybe modding a Yaris is the best way to get a fast new car right now. Its all in how you look at it. The reason I was arguing that the bolt-on phase would be more money than you guys made it sound is because I figured if you're going to go for a big power-adder down the line, you have to provide a good base of mods so that you will be able to use your hard-spent money to its full potential. Whether or not the cost is worth the reward is entirely up to the driver, but I foresee a lot of people being disappointed when they cut a corner or two with this car and it starts to fall apart at the seams. If you don't believe me, go browse horror stories at ScionLife. The 1NZ is a tricky little sucker.

To clarify quickly about the pulleys, I knew that comment was wrong but I figured for a proper answer I'd go straight to the source. Here is what Mike from NST had to say when I referred him to Nimble's comment regarding multiple pulleys...

Other pulley manufacturers have often released pulleys that have not been tested properly or have gone to extreme specifications. Unfortunately a lack of testing and real world anticipation has led to problems for certain users such as dimming lights or weak batteries, which in turn led to a stigma about pulleys in general. NST products are tested on race cars in different levels of motorsports as well as on street cars prior to release. NST products are not tested on store shelves with digital cameras.

NST is going to release a lightened water pulley and alternator pulley shortly that will compliment their existing crank pulley. Me and a few of my friends [:wink:] will have all three pulleys installed this summer. Myth busted.

[ChinoCharles]

Oh, trust me... I know they're out there. However, as a private owner who does not work in the business, let me assure you it isn't easy to drag a deal out of the aftermarket if you don't work in it. Comapnies generally want one of three things...

[1] The product was designed and developed without a donor car and they need someone who can test the part on the vehicle itself [apparently this only applies to California, haha]
[2] The company designing the product wants exposure within a community of enthusiasts [like YW] and is willing to supply the part at a discount or free in return for a good word, DIY tutorial, real-world product test, etc.
[3] The company wants more widespread exposure and is willing to provide parts at a discount in return for a sticker display or other type of exposure medium. This usually applies to heavily-modified cars that are slated to appear at shows or in magainzes.

It is a snowball effect. The more support you get, the more likely you are to receive more. Most private owners have to stick to 1 or 2, which leaves options limited. However, if you have something to offer a company and they have something to offer you, you can often strike a deal that lands you with heavier pockets.

quicker than yours

[FlintS]

Other then the intake and headers everything mentioned is needed any way for a turbo application. Without Springs and struts good luck sticking any power down. Same goes for the rims and tires. Short shifter...exhaust...it all is needed any how when you bolt in a turbo. I have built many of cars, and the point is, if you are racing your chick on the street you are porb not a candidate for turbo. Turboing a N/A car should be left for people that track race anyhow... Stick with the simple bolt ons and have some fun... All bolt ons in the list are DIY oriented. There are not to many people here that can bolt on a turbo.... Muy Expensive for the install, tuning, etc... If I read the post right he said fast... He did not say Beating an EVO fast, just an OZ... The yris with bolt ons will beat an OZ...

[ChinoCharles]

The yris with bolt ons will beat an OZ...

No, no it won't... unless the person driving the OZ is really, really bad.

There is one piece of the puzzle we haven't even mentioned. If you want a Yaris that is faster than your friend's car, just learn how to drive. I beat a WRX the other day, and I promise you it isn't because my car is faster. I just don't miss gears or shift points. :biggrin: It amazes me how many people have no idea what they're doing in a manual.

If you want a fast Yaris, start saving your money.

[eTiMaGo]

Y'know, I actually mentioned this thread (and its hijinks) to my wife, and she made a very interesting observation:

Why would you want to win that race?

Dude, the girls always get their way, or no nookie for you. Let her kick your ass and don't whine about it... that'll just make you look like a crybaby loser, and no chick wants to get with that. Take your whippin' like a man, and tell her she did great.

Now, if you're a total control freak and can't stand to lose.... well........ she'll probably dump you later anyway. :wink:

[FlintS]

I see it the other way. Losing a car race to her just deminishes your manly status. You can lose to a chick at cards, darts, pool, etc.. But when it comes donw to a mechanical know how verses... You have to win...

Step 2: Buy engine lift
Step 3: Buy quality jack and 4 jack stands
Step 4: Remove 1NZ and throw over a bridge *beware below*
Step 5: Purchase 2NZ from Celica GTS and install with basic bolt ons
Step 6: Fast Yaris. Well kind of. ;)

[jdubau55]

Might need a lil more than the 201 pc set. Step 5 should be step 4 and you should buy and build the 2NZ before ever touching the 1NZ. By build I mean over bore it, stroke it, and make it a 10,000 rpm BEAST.
