Only this one which is not real good (yes the car is dirty, the windscreen gets fitted on Saturday and after that has cured, it will get washed.)

It's from a mate who works for LSM Advanced Composites here is Australia. This is their website but it only shows a fraction of what they do.

They also have an interior piece to go with it which has 4 adjustable vents in it, but it is more than double the cost of the scoop so it will have to wait a while before I get that.

Shoot me a pm if you want and I'll give you my mate's email address at work and you can contact him direct.

Cheers,
Rob.

Only cause you asked nicely. Bare in mind it's an Echo, not a Yaris (thankfully, that CAN system would be an absolute prick to work around).

All my build pics (and a few other misc ones) are here: http://s39.photobucket.com/albums/e1...cho/?start=all

Cage looks great. Please post further updates.

rob323 · 02-17-2009, 05:01 PM

The latest update is that it finally fired up (for the first time in 3 years and 3 months) last weekend (after butting heads with a non-cooperative factory immobiliser for a week grrrrr).
The interior is going back in at the moment and I'm hoping to give it it's first outing at a grass motorkhana this Sunday.

Rob,

Thank for the connection, I ordered a roof scoop from them also.

rob323 · 02-23-2009, 03:17 PM

Good stuff, I bet the current crap exchange rate helped you there nicely.
Did you get the interior bit as well, or just the external scoop?

cali yaris · 02-23-2009, 03:41 PM

yeah it wasn't too painful. I ordered the inside bit, and one extra top piece in case someone else wants it here. Cheaper than shipping it later separately!

Your cage is beautiful

Powertrain changes, upgrades or?

I can see a few people fighting for the spare scoop once you get some decent photos of the weave in it. it puts some of the Japanese carbon fibre stuff I've got to shame.

Thanks, but it could have been 600 times better if the nitwit that did it for us listened to how we said we wanted it done, we even did drawings for him which he totally ignored. The cage is a sore point with me, I have had to modify so many things that I shouldn't have had to due to the inbred that did it.

Powertrain changes, upgrades or?

Nothing at the moment, the stock 1.3 litre engine will have to do me for a while until I sort out suspension (http://www.mcasuspension.com/main.htm

) and brakes (eventually to be 4 wheel disc brakes with balance bar pedal box setup).
I have two 1NZ-FE's (with ecu's etc) at home as well as an 8 bolt TRD lsd and C56 gearbox with a 4.3:1 final drive. The plan is to hopefully shove the gearset from the C56 into the echo bellhousing and casings along with the lsd.

But now that it's finally back together and going, I have to get it registered before I can start making it "rally ready".

Ahh, I haven't been in this forum for a long time.
Tag Rally Sport, I can't wait to see that car in Action in the US series! Really hoping this will revive the old Yaris forums with something exciting!
Glad that you guys (gals) are taking up on such a great car!
