The Mitsubishi EVO VIII had channel like ducts that attached on lower control arm . Don't know if it would be legal for your app , just an idea .

Just to expand on this idea. I was tossing this around for a little while. It seems to be popular with the newer EVO guys to retrofit these on their control arms.

Porsche 996 GT3 brake ducts (See posts 23 and 27)

Although I have found that the 993 brake ducts are a bit better fit size wise and not too expensive. You can get them from Pelican Parts for about $28. The part number is 993.341.083.00. A pair of these, maybe an xacto knife and some zip ties and you should be good to go.

Just an idea.

Is it allowed to use the foglight's base (the ones that hold the fog lights) to put the hose for the air ducts? Or does it have a negative effect?

[Astroman]

I had the foglight housing modified on my original OEM front bumper (drivers side), cutting out the "blocked" area for my AEM intake. Made a -10 degree (f) difference according to the intake temp on my scangauge.

PS- I love this thread!

This past weekend we took the Yaris up to Buttonwillow for the Cal Club Double National and BFGoodrich Tires Super Tour, the results: One pole, two wins and the H Prod track record (2:10.683) now belong to the Yaris.

The weekend was not without excitement... In Sunday qualifying I pushed a little to hard, resulting in an off that took out the belly pan and part of the bumper support. A bit of thrashing before the race and everything was back in shape. Starting second I got a great jump on the pole sitter, Gary Wittman, and never looked back. On Lap 8 I went a bit to hot over Phil Hill, launching the car off the track at the turns exit, the nose dug in the dirt but the car was able to motor on to the win by 12 seconds over Wittman.

So far in 2011: five poles, four wins, two runner-ups. Things are looking great for repeat of the Divisional Championship.

Not much excitement on Saturday, started from the pole and never really had to race anyone. I will post a Sunday video as soon as I get it together.

Great results! Do these races have a rolling start, or from a complete stop?

Rolling start, typically around 40-50mph, depending on who is setting the pace.

I really thought with all the slow turns Buttonwillow was going to be a terrible track for the Yaris, but with xB gear and 13" tires the car was always in the power.

Jay, you need to lower the camera a bit. You can't see anything.

I had a new camera to try this weekend... But the damn thing came with no instructions and I could not figure it out. Luckily I had my trusty Go Pro in my bag. I like the angle of the roof mount, and I tried to lower a bit this time by adding an extension, but it is way to shaky and still to high up.

I was thinking the same thing. Can't see much, but still love it! Keep up the good work.

Holy cow I can't believe there is that much flex in a car with a full cage !!
I thought I was watching through a fun house mirror.
Just kidding. The vid was great.
I guess the cars ahead were a different class and they had longer legs for the straiter sections of the track ?
Anyway keep up the good work you are doing us all PROUD !!

"Flex", what do you think you are seeing? Don't mistake what the camera is doing for a chassis issue. btw the camera is not mounted to the cage, that is on a sticky foot attached to the inside of the roof.

It was a four car train... Note: If you are a newbie do not start with a 400hp T1 Corvette, you only look stupid when you are holding up a bunch of "slower" cars. Next in line was a T3 RX-8, then the SSB Honda Civic and me bringing up the rear. The four of us ran lap times that were about the same, all around 2:10s. You can see how the cars on DOT race tires with power make time on the striats, and I make it up in the turns - slicks are great.

Once I had a decent gap on the second place HP car I slowed to a 2:12 pace, with the idea that I might stay on the track if I did not take any more chances.

This should buff right out... Or maybe its time to order a new one.

[eTiMaGo]

It's plastic, it should pop right back out :D

[soloecho2]

It was ment as a joke about the camera image. Thanks for the info on the other cars. Keep up the good work.
