@ Rafterman: Cool car...i am noticing something weird though, i also own a TS 1.8 and the exhaust seems to be different than mine , why is that i wonder?

Rafterman · 07-05-2007, 02:41 PM

@tsakali_gr...hehe this is just a new pipe (10cm diameter), the exhaust is the original...but it sounds good

-10% toleranz
sometimes i also had the 200mark. bur my navi says 180km/h, also at 145km/h i also drive only 130km/h.

1 month later 4000km, top speed was 210km/h

FYI, a standard yaris 1.8 SR/TS will do 0.62mph in 9.3 seconds

FYI, I have done much better than that...

Once I measured mine at 7.5 sec. Well it was a 0-60 not 0-62 but still is much better

To do it I had to disable the Traction control and also removed some extra weight from the car (Rear seats)

Oh...

And my best 1/4 mile time was 15.85 sec

Yaris Palme · 10-20-2008, 04:22 PM

i have owned a GOLF MK5 GTI on a traffic light start :D he couldn´t pass
he was just staring on the TS on the race:D

what in a standard 1.8 yaris? Mine seems faster than 9.3 seconds whilst driving it, but i've never timed it! The people at toyota reckon 9.3. Either way you time is impressive.

How dya go about disabling traction control? In my SR there is no button, i assume you have to do something under the bonet?

Yeap. Toyota numbers are really conservative.

First you got to see how heavy are the "bloody" rear seats...

I took them off and ride every day without them

For those fast runs I also took the spare tire, jack, tools and ran with very little fuel.

Now, for the Trc Off trick... Yes this car has no Trc off bottom so I just removed the TRC/VSC fuse out. It takes 5 seconds after you find it on the fuse box.

IMPORTANT...!!! By removing this fuse you will loose not only the Trc Control and the VSC but also the ABS.
I would not recommend this to anyone unless you are in a control environment ( Road Track) since the behavior of the car under extreme conditions will change.

By removing the fuse I was able to launch the car at higher rpm's and slip the tires a little bit without the car pushing the brakes by itself or cutting the power.

To put the car back to normal, just turn off the car, install the fuse back and re-start the engine. All functions should be back.

I'm currently looking for a way to install a switch within the cabin to disable these functions.

JStarkieUK · 10-20-2008, 05:29 PM

sounds good, installing a switch should be quite easy. I have found my traction control has cut the power on me sometimes especially in wet conditions.

What im really interested in is either a supercharger or turbo for the 1.8. Have you heard of anywhere that supply these, I have searched the web but have had little success!

CASTREX · 10-20-2008, 05:37 PM

OK will spare you some time...

This car has been out for a really short time... so the support so far is ALMOST zero.

There are NO Bolt on turbo kits for our cars and I don't know of any company coming up with one in the short term.

There is 1 supercharger wich seems really well put togehter. But has one dowside. The price is outreageos.

Hopefully YARISPALME will bring back the supercharger thread. HE is the onlyone with first hand experience since he had the chance to actually drive the test car with the SC installed.

The kit was designed by a shop in Swisterland. You can find the details on their site:
