I did, two events. I kinda want a hb too, but think they are all less attractive (to me), except for the new 09's.

I usually run my wrx, but I tried the yaris out for a few events in july. All I have currently are hankook R-S2 Z212's, a trd swaybar, and shifter cage bushings. I also have a blitz LM intake.

sorry wrong attachment. Those are the results.

I think sport compact car compared a sedan with r comps and coilovers against other slightly modified cars and from what I remember it pulled like 1.02 lateral g's... you probably have a better chance of beating a LB since the sedan is lower to the ground and not so stocky - just a thought.

Good luck if you decide to continue and most people here will say, "its not the car, its the driver." A fast driver can be fast in any car with practice...

Yup, I have (or had) that issue. They were using Tein SS coilovers (same one that Thomas has, right?) and R compound tires.

I like at the end where they make you come to a complete stop. Where we run its just a sharp curve and another runway...
