When you have the parts, but don't even have the car yet. :bellyroll:


Hey guys, my name is Davis. I've always wanted an NCP91 Yaris, but I'm now looking to buy a 3rd gen Yaris. This'll be my build thread whenever I buy it. Hopefully, the info here will be of use.

But of course, this is where I'll pic whore because pic whore.

The parts in the above picture:

Netz Front Emblem - 75301-52100
TRD Drop In Air Filter - PTR43-00072
Tanabe Exhaust - T70121A
TRD Japan Quick Shifter - MS205-52003

*Note: Since I don't have the car, I have no way to verify if some of these parts fit. I've been researching past threads on fitment and I've been cross referencing parts between US and Japan 2012-2016 cars.

I'm not new to modifying cars, but I am new to the Yaris chassis. I'll do my best to use the search function, so please don't be too harsh when I do ask a question lol.

Prius is a nice daily, but I'm itching to get back into an MT!

Wheels and Suspension are on order, stay tuned! :headbang:

[tarkus]

That MR2 looks phenomenal!! And how do you juice up a Prius? Bigger electric motors, batteries, custom firmware?
BTW for maximum sporty fun factor, I would recommend the 2nd generation Yaris over the 3rd gen.

Thank you! The MR2 was a fun car, but it was becoming a huge money pit. I sold it because my son was born and needed a bigger car. Thats when I picked up the GS, it was supposed to the daily, then I had an itch and turned it into a drift car lol. Throwing a Supra R154 manual trans behind that V8 was fun for awhile, but that trans shifted like shit. Biggest reason why I got rid of it, and now looking for a Yaris. The Prius is stock for the most part, all modifications were in the handling department.

Main reason why I'm going with a 2015+ model vs 2007-2011.

- SE; I want a 4 door, I want a manual trans, rear disc brakes, projector headlamp, and foglights.
- Longer wheel base.
- Lower roofline/lower drag coefficient.
- Midcycle refresh looks nice inside and out. I love how angry it looks!

Plus it's just newer, can't beat that piece of mind knowing it won't need anything.

[ern-diz]

Really cool cars.

I look forward to updates!

[yarisugi]

You may find a few manual transmission SE in the entire US. (Less than a handful) Or see if Kalispel is willing to sell his car. So funny to see parts piling up for a vehicle you don't have yet. What commitment!

[Dabuu]

In case anyone wanted to see how the TRD QS looked. It's a full shift cage replacement.

I bought a QS because I had one on my MR2 and it greatly improved the shift feel. I hope it goes the same with the Yaris.

So stoked that I can reuse my TRD Duracon Shift Knob that was on my MR2.

Tell me about it! Probably gotta ship one to Cali just like Kalispel had to ship his.

Lol yeah, I figured I'd order the parts so I can commit to the Yaris. Yaris parts are so much cheaper than my past projects, so it doesn't feel as big of a hit! Just a few more parts and I should be done. All my past projects were....well just that, projects. I'm trying to stay true to the "Keep It Simple Stupid" philosophy, so I can enjoy the car instead of having it on jack stands during half of my ownership. :tongue:

[tomsimmons82]

Any idea if that QS would be compatible with the 1NR FE 6 speed gear box?

[Thirty-Nine]

SWEET! I love the fact you tracked a Prius v!

[CrankyOldMan]

I'm interested in seeing the TRD shifter body vs the stock. I went with a TWM short throw arm and the MicroImage engine bay short throw bracket. VERY short throws!

[fnkngrv]

I am very curious about the shifter cage as well.

[Dabuu]

Any idea if that QS would be compatible with the 1NR FE 6 speed gear box?

That I'm not too sure. See my response to Crankyoldman below. I wouldn't see why not. I believe your chassis code is in the list for parts: http://www.trdparts.jp/list_vitz13x.html

SWEET! I love the fact you tracked a Prius v!

It was fun chasing faster cars down, the only downside was the nanny systems getting in the way!! :thumbdown:

I believe the shifter cages are the same, there are no signs of it being a TRD product besides the installation manual that came with it. The only change that I'm aware of is that the fulcrum point on the lever is changed. Not too sure if the mount bushings are different.

I'll definitely take some pictures of them side by side though.

I'm not after super short throws, I'm just looking to tighten things up. :thumbsup:

I am very curious about the shifter cage as well.

Now there's a familiar face from TMT!

[Dabuu]

Some new goodies came in. I've been debating between going Coilovers or Lowering Springs and Strut/Shock combo. I ended up deciding on the latter, I mean for the price of cheap coilovers, you can buy a legit setup.

Bilstein B8 Performance (NCP91 '07-'11)

I couldn't find any reviews on these specifically on the Yaris chassis, but I've heard many good things about them on other vehicles, so I didn't spend too much time on here researching it...impulse buy lol.

The B8s are designed to be used with lowering springs and the dampening is fixed. I'll be pairing these up with some RS*R Sus Down Springs specifically for the NCP131 which lowers the car:

F: 30mm - 25mm / 1.2in - 1.0in
R: 25mm - 20mm / 1.0in - 0.8in

F: 2.80kg/mm
R: 2.85kg/mm

So why did I decide against coilovers?

Simply put, I want to enjoy the car.

My previous projects had coilovers, they're nice with all the adjustability, but I kept finding myself going as low as I can just because I could. I knew it hurted performance, but damn it looked sick. And 32way adjustment? Awesome. I'll just go full stiff and never touch them again.

Even if I was trying to dial the car at the track I didn't know what I was doing. For all I knew I probably was fighting the car with every change I made.

Throw adjustability out the window, and then you can just focus on the driver, no other variable from ride height, spring preload, dampner setting, etc.

Yeah, I want to become a better driver too. What better way than to go back to the basics!

[ern-diz]

Where you did you pick the shocks/struts up from?

[Dabuu]

Best price I could find was on Ebay from the seller: autoanything.

[Dabuu]

New stuff.

Packaging wasn't so good, the springs were rubbing each other the entire way from Japan, there's no bare metal showing, but the powder coat is pretty marred up. Oh well, it's only cosmetic.

An oldie, but goodie.

I don't care how played out these wheels are. I've always wanted a set (I love how cheap 15" wheels are :wub:). I was never fond of black wheels, but I've been getting lazy with cleaning off the brake dust on my previous car. So I figured why not, at least it won't be too noticeable if I did take too long to clean them. I'm on the fence, but really leaning towards some 205/50s. Wide contact patch and it'll lower the car .3". We'll see once I take the car out to the track.

Even though I have most of the mods, I'm not planning to throw them all on at once. I'd like to get used to the stock set up before I touch anything. The mods will progress in stages. :thumbup:

[Bluevitz-rs]

RPF1's are still one of the lightest 15s on the market. I love mine paired with 195/50 RE11a tires. Rim and tire weigh in together at 32lbs.

nice for going all out on quality!

Finally picked up my 2017 SE. Couldn't be happier! :)

[ern-diz]

That's a sharp interior. Congrats and enjoy.

[Captain Yaris]

Congrats! I can't wait to see it with everything installed.

[Dabuu]

Thank you everyone! 350 miles so far. I love how peppy the 1NZ feels. The chassis is tossable, the poor Turanza EL400s can't help but scream for mercy. Being a Toyota guy, I'm quite surprised by how much feedback is given from the steering wheel. My only gripe is the pedal positioning, it's difficult to heel toe unless your going in hot and are aggressive with the brakes, or, maybe I just suck at driving (most likely). The brake pedal position is much higher than the gas pedal, so if your trying to heel toe casually on your commute, reaching for the gas pedal is a total guessing game it feels like. I'll need to figure out a solution because it drives me nuts, I do have a G's accel pedal, but the bolt pattern is different...

Anywho.

That's a sharp interior. Congrats and enjoy.

The gauge cluster has to be my favorite! Love looking at it. :wub:

Congrats! I can't wait to see it with everything installed.

Soon! :thumbsup:

Weighed the car last night, 2411 lbs. Wished my car laid off all the croissants before shipping out of France. Oh well. Most of the weight is probably from the extra standard safety features.

Also picked up a brand new turd rear sway bar. I plastidipped it black because I don't want the attention.

This is where the Gen 2 Yaris wins out. It's lighter, with a more immediate and responsive feel than the 3rd generation.

Why do you keep bringing up the same point? :iono:

[tarkus]

Most people will probably repeat certain points in different threads, and that's the nature of bulletin boards in general. In this case I commented on an interesting point you made. And I'm very pleased to see that you're enjoying your new Yaris and I'm following your progress with great interest. [emoji106]

I've found the same problem with heel/toe driving. What I've learned to do is just be quick with my feet and also I've learned that 2000rpms corresponds with: 2nd gear - 20mph, 3rd gear - 30mph, 4th gear - 40mph. This way I can blip the throttle with out doing a full gauge scan. Just be fast, haha! Glad you are enjoying the car. BTW, any new pictures of exterior?

Yeah we are on a forum, and everyone has a right to their opinion, but I noticed that you kept mentioning the 2nd Gen in various 3rd Gen threads that I posted in. I read your opinion the first time, and second, and so on.

Let's get back on track now, mods aren't going to post themselves. :headbang:

I might make some spacers to bring the accel pedal out a bit, but for now I guess I'll just drive fast, because racecar! :burnrubber:

Haven't had a chance to take any nice pictures of the car, and it just rained today in Socal. Cars pretty dirty, but I'll try to take some soon!


Since it was raining, I figured I would install the TRD Quick Shifter.

Removed the center console. Mostly clipped on, there was one 10mm bolt hidden underneath the rear cup holder. Once the bolt is removed, the console pops off. Don't forget to disconnect the Trac Off connector.

If you notice the shifter cables they have a spring loaded release that you turn 180 degrees clockwise to release and counterclockwise wise to tighten. I've never dealt with this style before, so it took me awhile to release it from the cage. :laugh:

Caution: If you spin the release more than 180degrees you risk damaging the spring that is inside. I'm not good at reading Japanese, but this got my attention. It would suck breaking a shift cable, these guys are expensive.

One cool thing to note, the left cable that controls side to side is adjustable. You can adjust where side to side center is by unclipping 2 locking clips. TRD manual says to make sure that the measurement from the front of the cage to the middle of the pivot pin is 164.5mm, or about 6.475", I just rounded to 6.5". Shifter is pretty damn centered. :thumbup:

Hard to tell anything is even modified :) Shifter feels more positive, a little more snick snick. Throws are a little bit shorter, which I like. I dislike aftermarket shifters that are so short you're not sure if it's 3rd or 5th you're going in to. Best part is I have not noticed any increased effort in shifting. It was a pleasure to drive around town before, but now I'm looking for any excuse to go out and putt around town with this engagingly slick mod. :wub:

Nice write up, it looks great. God, that color is amazing! I love my white as its really JDM looking, but your color looks great!

[Dabuu]

Thanks! I didn't get into as much detail as I wanted to though because of time constraints.

Can't go wrong with Super White. I wanted a color with the least maintenance, and it blends in with the rest of traffic, 2 for 1! :thumbsup:

Just snapped this after leaving Target. Grey hides the dirt pretty well. :thumbup:

[yarisugi]

Since you have the 2017 model, does that mean that you have the safety sense c? i like that color, too! i wonder if the short shift that attaches above the transmission will work for this model, too.

[Dabuu]

You're correct, mine is equipped with TSS-C. I could care less for it.

Best part though for anyone wondering, if you hold the TRAC OFF button for loner than 3 seconds, it disables; TRAC, VSC, and Pre-Collision Assist (auto brake).

Lane Departure is conveniently On or Off. As in, if you turn it Off and it stays off the next key cycle, unlike TRAC OFF.

I couldn't get a clear picture of the front camera, but here's the dash with the above mentioned assists off (lane departure only illuminates when it'starts on).

Not sure if the NCP90 TRD shifter linkage would work or not...I wondered the same thing, but since TRD Japan has the cage listed, I decided to spend the money, they designed it for a reason I kept telling myself...lol totally worth it once installed.
Small update:

Installed my TRD Duracon shifuto knoobu! Factory knob looks great, but the feel is meh. Like the quality feels cheap and it's pretty light. The turd knob is a bit heavier and I like the slick feel of the Duracon. Since the TRD is a lot shorter, I had to space the boot collar up an inch, or the collar would rattle around. I had some 12mm hoses lying around, so I cut an inch or so to put in between the boot collar and the lever collar. Shifter feel keeps on improving. Can't wait to throw some MT90 in this trans.

I had the G's pedal set sitting in my garage for the longest (like my other parts.) The problem I had here was I didn't have the Yaris to reference the JDM pedal angle, which is totally wrong for LHD vehicles. It bends to the right, while LHD pedals bend to the left. Go figure.

I was planning to hack the G's pedal and make it work. But as I was organizing the garage, I found a set of SRP Racing Pedals that I bought for my '91 MR2 10 years ago lol. I decided to test fit just the accel pedal cover and it pretty much fits the curvature of the pedal.

All bolted up. It's easier to reach for the pedal, but I think I'll still make an inch spacer to bring it up some. The brake/clutch pads also feel tons better than the squishy squeaky rubber pads.

Do you have any issue with clearance for the gas pedal? I've been looking for a set of sport pedals for the 3rd gen cars and the shape of the gas pedal makes it a real problem. Pedals that fit the 2nd gen also fit the 3rd gen but the overlap on the gas pedal of the slanted part rubs up against the side of transmission tunnel and prevents the gas pedal from going all the way down. From the looks of your picture it seems like you would run into this problem.

[Dabuu]

No interference here.

100% full travel until the pedal bottoms itself out on the carpet. :thumbsup:

Good to know. Thanks.

oops read it too late, but yeah my fix was just going for razo pedals and it fixes the heel toe issue perfectly.

[Dabuu]

I was finally able to take the Yaris to the track yesterday.

Streets of Willow - Counter Clockwise

No cool action shots this time around, but I do have a boring video of one lap.

Track prep, I changed the both engine and trans oil at 1000 miles. Good ol' 5w-30 Synpower, MT90, and of course the trusty Toyota oil filter.

Not my fastest lap as my GoPro stopped recording, but I thought it was a fun one.

https://youtu.be/RC_hwZZER6w

My personal best with the all stock Yaris was a 1:41.2xx

Not bad for all season tires, and no power. :thumbup:

The car definitely needs suspension and tires. Under hard braking the front end dives alot causing the rear end to wobble. Good thing I have the items needed stowed away in the garage.

In the mean time, I finally installed the Tanabe exhaust, TRD rear sway bar, and the TRD drop in. Confirmed the exhaust fits '15+ models, since they don't have the rear lip spoiler w/ exhaust cut out. The rear end looks so much better with an exhaust top exiting out in the proper location.

Thanks guys!

You're hearing the rolla, if you're referring to the video, my car is so quiet lol. Tanabe exhaust does make it more audible, I love the tone. I didn't expect it to be this loud (totally happy that it wasn't as quiet as I expected!). I'll see if I can get some in car audio.

After putting a couple hundred miles after the install I wish I had the turd rear bar at the track, my car had so much body roll without it. The bar does make a difference. I can't wait to get back out to the track! but the car is probably going to be lowered by then. Also, during the rear bar installation, my car did not come equipped with the insulator (I was planning to toss it anyway) everyone talks about.

I finally ordered tires for the RPF1s, and I decided to go with some 195/50 Yokohama S.drives. Since she's mostly a daily, I didn't want to compromise colossal grip for tread life.

[NYC-SE]

It seems they were only used on the 2012-2014 SE models.

Oh, and sweet ride BTW.

[Dabuu]

Well, I confirmed my 15x7 +41 RPF1s do not clear the SE's bigger front brakes. :( Test fit with hand tightened lug nuts and the wheel does not move:

http://i1284.photobucket.com/albums/a571/kazokuwagon/NCP131/20161222_091233_zps18fzlyz3.jpg (http://s1284.photobucket.com/user/kazokuwagon/media/NCP131/20161222_091233_zps18fzlyz3.jpg.html)

As you can see the spokes hit the caliper, but that's not all. The RPF1's barrel tapers into the face and with the bigger calipers, there's no room for sticky weights in the inner barrel, they'll just shear right off if the wheels were spaced out to clear the spokes.


Barrel tapering in:

In brighter news, I installed the Bilsteins and RSR springs...

I was able to only achieve -0.7 front camber with SPC bolts. I think I'll order the 3 dot Toyota Crash Bolts. I want -2.5 camber up front.



Met up with some friends, and one of them brought over his 15x8 +36 6ULs, and they clear the front calipers! That clearance!

http://i1284.photobucket.com/albums/a571/kazokuwagon/NCP131/PART_1482506350946_zpsz0937wrk.jpeg (http://s1284.photobucket.com/user/kazokuwagon/media/NCP131/PART_1482506350946_zpsz0937wrk.jpeg.html)

I love the wheel gap with the 6ULs (225/45). Sucks the RPF1s (195/50) don't fit, the overall diameter is just .1" taller (22.6" vs 22.7"). Now to figure out what wheels to go with for the time being.

[justanotherdrunk]

looks good

:thumbsup:

[Captain Yaris]

Looks great! How easy is it to install coilovers? I have very basic mechanical abilities but I'd love to learn. The thing that kinda freaks me out is the springs.

[Dabuu]

Springs always freak me out. I used a Craftsman Strut Spring compressor, its about $50, I got tired of renting it. You just need to compress the spring enough to remove any tension before loosening the nut holding the spring/bearing mount in place. The suspension is the same as the 2nd gens, so find a diy on here and it'll give you the jist. :)

Coilovers are by far easier to install than springs and struts because they come fully assembled making it an R&R job...well, on other vehicles. I think the Yaris coilovers still need some disassembly because you need to reuse the upper bearing, mounts, etc.

In my opinion, the Yaris' front strut set up is more difficult to take apart only because you have to use an allen on the strut to hold the shaft in place while you loosen/tighten the nut. It would suck if that allen gets rounded off, at least the torque isn't that high.

I wish it was a top strut mount with 3 studs instead of one shaft and 2 nuts sandwiching the assembly between the chassis.

[Dabuu]

Well, since the RPF1's didn't fit, I went with Plan B. It's about 4lbs heavier than the RPF1s, mainly due to width, but damn do they look good, and most importantly, all that caliper clearance!

This set up does poke, I'll get some side shots in the morning. I'm running -0.7 degrees of camber up front, definitely will need more, but I hope I don't rub at my current ride height. We'll find out next track day lol.

:thumbup: I love the Grey and Mag Blue combo.

[Captain Yaris]

Wow! That looks great! :thumbup:

[MugenRep]

This is the first time I've driven this track, it was a good learning experience in the rain! I was surprised to hit 100mph on the main straight and 95mph through turn 8 lol. I was running in the Beginners group, there was a lot of traffic, so I was able to practice my lines and car control. I was able to have 1 lap that was clear of traffic where I had a personal best of 2:02.9xx :) I'm pretty happy with it especially in the rain! :)

https://youtu.be/UpTU0XRPYbk

How does one embed a youtube video on this forum?

Good news is that the new wheel setup doesn't rub, but I'm planning to still add more negative front camber.

Rain is RWD conversion for our cars. :bellyroll:

[Dabuu]

Buying track photos is expensive, but I like to have at least one for every car I take out. :)

[scratchpaddy]

Nice, the photographer got you right in front of the Toyota sign. Looks like a lot of fun. With your new wheels and stance, your car looks more at home on the track now. :cool:

What's the red thing on your front grille, driver's side?

[Dabuu]

Haha thanks scratch! I love the new setup, it is a big improvement, the rear end does not get loose on aggressive braking, and the vehicle is eager to change direction on command. S.drives are terrific tires in the rain. The car was very predictable, lift off oversteer was the highlight of the day. :)

That is the lap timer transponder. Clocks the laptime at the start/finish line.

[ern-diz]

Beyond cool and great pics.

[Dabuu]

You should come out one time! Having more Yari's would be beyond cool! :D

[ern-diz]

Yeah, man, it really would. Maybe I should look at getting that rear sway on sooner than later...

[Dabuu]

No need, I think you should feel out the track and your car before you do decide on more modifications. The rear sway bar was a nice improvement for sure, but you'll appreciate it more when you go back out on track with it installed, and actually feel the difference. :headbang:

[ern-diz]

Great point.

My S2K and Fit buddies first time at the track, they had a blast! and I just ruined 2 more lives lol. They are now addicted.

TRD Cup Round 1 was held at Big Willow this past Saturday. I signed the Yaris up for Limited class, since she was nowhere near as competitive as the vehicles that were registered in Street class lol.

I was excited to finally drive on this track when it's dry!

My personal best in the wet was a 2:02.9xx. My goal for the day was to be under 2 minutes. I was surprised after my first session out I clocked a 1:51. :o 10 seconds off of my wet lap. Then the goal changed to under 1:50.00. 3rd session of the day , I clocked a 1:49.559! I called it a day after that lol.

https://youtu.be/rJsLE0gWlgo

2nd session I got cocky and managed to put the passenger rear tire out into the dirt. I thought I would've been able to tap the brakes at 100mph and dive bombed into the turn lol. Now my passenger side has a bunch of rock chips, and I had to duct tape the plastic flap :( oh well, racecar!

[ern-diz]

I enjoyed the Instagram posts!

Meh, it'll buff out!

[Dabuu]

Haha, yeah I'm not too worried about it.

The dang plastic piece is like $25 bucks from the stealership. Looks like it's going to be taped on for awhile, it's just not pretty, but who's going to notice? lol

[ncp13]

That sounds like lots of fun. :) :drool:

What kind of tire do the regulations allow? With a sticky semi-racing you will see your time improving a lot and your chassis reaching its limits.

Then you will see the need for bracing :)

[Dabuu]

Tires will definitely drop my times, but this year, I'm trying to improve myself as a driver. Which is why I chose the Yokomama S.drives. They're 300 tread wear and not nearly as sticky as RE71Rs, or Star Specs. I wanted to be able to reach the tire's limit faster and at a much lower speed lol. I've had 200tw tires before on my previous car, and yes they are amazingly grippy, but I knew they hid alot of my mistakes as a driver.

Plus, I'm too lazy to swap wheels at the track, and needed a double duty tire for daily driving. :thumbsup:

I would've kept the stock all seasons on, but the wheel combo was heavy, and the all seasons started chunking lol.

[Dabuu]

lol okay, third set of wheels in progress.

The Gramlights poked out too much and rubbed under certain conditions. Enough to annoy me.

Learning from my past mistakes, I picked up ONE Konig Dial-In in 15x7 +35 to test fit. :laugh:

and....



they fit!

Soooooo much clearance!! And these weigh in around 11lbs, about 3 lbs lighter than the grammys. I'm planning to swap the Yokomamas over to the Konigs, and calling it a day. :headbang:


....it's going to be a bitch to clean haha

[Jason@SportsCar]

Great looking wheels. You should just sell your old setup as a package and get on a better set of tires. I have a brand new set of RE71r if you are in the market.

[williew2]

where did you get your TRD gear from, I'm keen for a short shifter, headers, exhaust system, lowers springs etc cold air intake etc for my NCP130 yaris but can't seem to find a reliable source here in Australia.

[tmontague]

Hey Dabuu, how you liking the Bilstein's?

I need a stiffer strut up front to match my Tokiko Blue's in the rear to limit the amount of oversteer I have and the KYB's aren't cutting it. Curious as to how the Bilstein's perform

[Captain Yaris]

Looks Incredible! I really can't wait to get mine built up. Thanks for the inspiration!

[ern-diz]

I'd love to know as well, for when the time comes for me to replace my OEM shocks/struts.

tmon - Would you say the KYB's are like OEM, slightly softer, or slightly stiffer?

Dab - Didn't know you were running Bilstein's. What are your thoughts on them?

[Dabuu]

Hey guys,

I'm loving the B8's, they were a huge upgrade in the handling department (along with the lowering springs). Steering feel was one of the improvements that I really liked.

At slow speeds the dampening is stiff, so you do feel all the irregularities on the road, but once you get up to speed they do a great job of absorbing bumps and dips. I'd like to say these shocks are confidence inspiring (just like my new RE71rs lol), my car never felt loose at a high speed track like Big Willow.

I think these would be a major upgrade compared to the KYBs in terms of performance. Are the Blues discontinued for the fronts?

[Captain Yaris]

I've been looking around for the Blues but can't find them. I know now that the B8's will do the trick. Did you get the Perf Plus model? Do you happen to have the part number? It would save me a lot of leg work. Also, how do the springs compare to say, H & R? Thanks! Enjoy! It looks great!

[Captain Yaris]

Nevermind, I got the part numbers off of your previous photos. Thanks.

[Dabuu]

I knew all those pictures would help haha.

I've wanted these Blood Sports Delrin Collars for awhile now. After getting in touch with Blood Sports, I decided to contact RHDJapan, and they were very helpful. These are now available on rhdjapan's website.

These collars take up the empty space between the rear torsion beam's rubber bushing and the frame. They prevent the rear from wiggling around, in exchange for more NVH. I can't wait to try these out on track. :wub:

I visited Buttonwillow Raceway Park this past weekend. It was a beautiful day to learn a new track. I did have an offroad excursion that nearly wrecked my car, and shook me up for a bit. I did over come my fear, and ended up with a personal best of 2:15.868. RE71r's are amazing! So much grip, and they're quite talkative at the limit.

I saw these two guys, and went over to say Hi, and we were having a great time being the only guys there with low powered torsion beamed hatchbacks LOL. The mazda2 was fast!!


I never 3 wheeled before, so the wifey bought me this print as a gift. :P

I also downloaded the Harry's Lap Timer app for my phone, and it does an amazing job of getting on track data! I paired it up with a bluetooth obd reader, and Garmin gps unit.

Here's a video of my 2nd fastest lap, since my gopro died. I tried to cut the data as best I could.

I've wanted these Blood Sports Delrin Collars for awhile now. After getting in touch with Blood Sports, I decided to contact RHDJapan, and they were very helpful. These are now available on rhdjapan's website.

These collars take up the empty space between the rear torsion beam's rubber bushing and the frame. They prevent the rear from wiggling around, in exchange for more NVH. I can't wait to try these out on track. :wub:

What was your opinion on these? Fit good? Do anything for the car?

[Dabuu]

Thanks Jason! Haha yeah, I totally missed Phil's hill's apex on this lap, I became more comfortable later on in the day and started hitting the apex resulting in my pb! wished I got it on video. :P

I haven't installed the rear collars yet, I'll try to before the streets of willow event this 25th.

Just an FYI Eren, I wouldn't run this tow hook on the daily, if you happen to rear end someone, it'll be bad news for your frame. The tow hook will impact the object in front of you before your crash beam can absorb any force! Which is why I'm only installing it on track days.

Registered for TRD Cup Rd. 2 @ Streets of Willow on 3/25. We will be running CCW, the same configuration I ran when the Yaris was stock. I'm excited to see how much faster the car is with the mods. :D

DCSports Header, 73mm to 54mm hubcentric rings, and my new static cling numbers. :)

I usually don't run hubcentric rings, but I'm tired of seeing the rust in the hubs since I don't run center caps. I'm planning to clean up the hubs/axle stubs and spraying a coat of black, to make it all purdy. :P

Running my old 319 number that I used to use in Autox. I did have a set of the 503's that I HAD to buy at an event many years ago, but one flew off that same event, fml. Since the new ones are static cling, I am going to put painters tape along the edges.

Headers, nuff said. HPS intake is also on the way. ;)

[tmontague]

tmon - Would you say the KYB's are like OEM, slightly softer, or slightly stiffer?



Sorry just saw this now. The KYB's IMO are either the same or lsightly stiffer than OEM but definitely not a sport suspension setup. Save your money and go to the B8's, that's what I'm currently waiting to do and will hopefully have them by this summer

BTW nice build Dabu, keep us updated on those rear collars and how the install goes and any performance increases. I've wanted to do something about the rear end wiggle for a while but wasn't aware of this product. Looking forward to hearing how it goes

[ern-diz]

Thx

[Dabuu]

Thanks tmontague!

I was going to do the rear collars today, but decided I will do it another time when I have SS brake lines on hand. I needed to remove the flex section of the brake line in order to drop the front torsion beam mounts.

I painted the hubs with Rustoleum bbq grill paint, good for 1200F. And the hubcentric rings installed, so shiny.

http://i1284.photobucket.com/albums/a571/kazokuwagon/NCP131/IMG_20170318_124535_zpshzlijock.jpg (http://s1284.photobucket.com/user/kazokuwagon/media/NCP131/IMG_20170318_124535_zpshzlijock.jpg.html)

Installed the DCSports. Big change was that cruising at highway speeds doesn't drone as much as before. I think the ecm is still adjusting the fuel trim, so I'll report back on that at a later time. Overall, the exhaust note is a little louder putt putting around town. Sounds more agressive as the revs climb. And as I mentioned earlier, quieter cruising around 65, 75, 80 mph. I love it.

http://i1284.photobucket.com/albums/a571/kazokuwagon/NCP131/20170318_114206_zpssl1cm9sv.jpg (http://s1284.photobucket.com/user/kazokuwagon/media/NCP131/20170318_114206_zpssl1cm9sv.jpg.html)

[scratchpaddy]

So, the hubcentric rings are optional? Seems like that would be pretty important. They look really nice, too.

It's a shame Toyota puts the exhaust in the back. No one can see that beautiful header. :( Less drone on the highway is something even I would appreciate, though.

[tmontague]

Can't you just put a Jack under the torsion beam and then
Remove the bolts from the bushing/front mounts and kwtbthe front swing down?

Seems the easiest way as the hub and hoses can stay intact and you should still be able to get a bushing press onto the bushings

Fwiw I've installed hubcentric rings on both of my cars winters and summer rims as they're all aftermarket and it is by far something I will always do. Smooths out the wheels at high speeds and ensures safe and proper placement even with conical lug nuts

[Dabuu]

As long as the lug nuts are started off and snugged down by hand, once you torque them down, you won't have any problems.

The brake hard lines that are affixed to the body start to bend due to the front set of flexible hoses not having enough slack to allow the mount to swing down pass the body.

[Dabuu]

Yes owl, it's an HPS intake.

[ern-diz]

So, even without being able to tune the ECU, the intake/exhaust mods still produce positive gains? I've heard arguments for intake/exhaust mods improving performance and others for diminishing performance, but I don't know enough to know what's right.

[Dabuu]

The factory ecm is going to try and maintain a stoichiometric air fuel mixture. After installing the breathing mods, the ecm will try to adjust fuel injection to meet stoich in normal driving conditions.

I had little hope for power, I mainly did this for the noise lol.

The car is slow, might as well make the soundtrack enjoyable. :D

TRD Cup Rd. 2 Streets of Willow Clockwise

The day started off nice in the morning, but then became super windy through out the day. My interior is filled with Willow Springs dirt. :(

I think this is the first time TRD Cup had it's own run group! A session filled with only Toyotas! From Supercharged Corollas to big bad V8 GS400s duking it out. :D It was pretty awesome to drive our cars next to each other and then hanging out at the pits chit chatting about our set ups. :drinking:

Hopefully we can keep this going as a community, and maybe one day, we'll have a TRD Cup vs vtecclub run group! :wub:

My PB of 1:34.69 placed me in 3rd place in Limited Class. :)

I definitely need more seat time. And coilovers. Which are already ordered, just need to wait 2 months before they come in from Japan. I couldn't feel any difference in power with the intake and header, but it definitely sounds better, the camera actually picks it up lol.

Installed the FDA31 Beat Sonic shark fin to get rid of the antenna stalk. The color match was pretty spot on. I'm not sure how I feel about it just yet, I do miss the antenna. I'll give it another week or so before I decide to remove it.

On your car, that shark fin looks perfect. That's what they should have done from the factory.

The pokey antenna is a better fit for the 2nd gen cars, I think. Makes them look like little R/C cars. :laugh:

[Dodge Aries K]

So, with your car do you notice it kind of lurches when you shift it? I haven't been able to figure out how to accelerate "fast" without it kind of lurching between shifts. I think maybe stiffer engine mounts would help but I dunno besides that.

For the record, I can drive my stick shift Shadow and Camry fine haha.

I haven't updated in a while.

A couple weeks ago on my commute home, a couple tried to scam me into giving them cash to fix the "damage" that I supposedly caused. Accusing me of swerving into their lane. Anywho, long story short, I insisted on getting the police and insurance involved and their whole demeanor changed, and they booked it.

This event kind of fucked me up, mentally. I know I didn't swerve into their lane. No impact was felt, nor did I hear any metal to metal contact in our tin can. I kept replaying the situation back in my head, and wished I had a dash cam.

so that's what I did.

Wow. The levels some people will go never ceases to amaze me. So sorry you had to deal with that, man. As long as the metal isn't dented, judging by the pic, it looks like that can be color sanded/buffed out.

[Dabuu]

Yeah, people suck. The whole event was stressful, I hope noone else has to go through something like this.

I got their license plate and filed a report the next day with CHP. More so to cover my ass. Last thing I want is for them to turn the table on me, and say that I did a hit and run. :thumbsup: Hopefully karma catches up to them.

On a brighter note, people have stopped tailgating me once they realize that there's a camera recording them. :thumbup:

So much wheel gap. :(

Shocks and springs FS thread will be up soon.

This will also be the last update post in this build thread.

Don't worry, I'm not going anywhere. :thumbsup:

These babies all showed up within the week.

These will be sitting for a few months, I have other things to worry about right now.

Stay tuned for a new build thread in the Racing section. :headbang:

Glad you're down but not out!

Great thread. I have a NCP13 Vitz, and parts are getting really hard to find now so I envy you lol!

You will love the Cusco, I ran them in my Supra (Zero 2E) for years and loved them!

[Dodge Aries K]

Door stabilizers? What do they do? Obviously, stabilize the door but... I'm confused.

[91mustang]

Where did you get the door stabilizers and brake lines from?

Cap, I just can't let this car go, I love it too much!

Thanks Gorilla! Yeah, all my past projects had parts that were getting harder to find, so a new chassis like this was definitely appealing. I can't wait to install the Cusco!

D.A.K, the door stabilizers fill the gap between the door latch and striker, effectively making the door a rigid part of the body to reduce flex, or something like that lol.

91mustang, all my parts are usually ordered through www.rhdjapan.com when searching for parts input the chassis code; ncp91 or ncp131 for example. Expensive, but legit and you know for certain you're not getting scammed.

Subscribed, glad you're keeping the car :)

[MatthewMenze]

I looked online and only see door stabilizers for different model cars, is there a specific model that will work on the yaris?

[JRHPNG]

No need, I think you should feel out the track and your car before you do decide on more modifications. The rear sway bar was a nice improvement for sure, but you'll appreciate it more when you go back out on track with it installed, and actually feel the difference. :headbang:

Any chance I could grab the model / numbers from your shocks? Struggling to find them here in NZ

Dabuu here, just a new username.

Attached are the part numbers. Sucks that the photobucket links are dead, this thread worthless.

My build thread in my sig should be more entertaining with working links and attached pictures.

is this a kit or did you buy all of them individually, I know the NCP131 is basically the same as Mk3.

[deng]

These do not come in a kit, you have to order them individually. I ordered them using '07MY. They bolt up physically to the chassis on my '17.

I had to trim the front strut's lower spring insulator for it to sit flat on the Bilsteins.

I had the TRD USA drop in filter for an '07 in mine, exactly the same shape.
