hmm roads here in WV are similar

Mead · 07-04-2007, 07:12 PM

the gearing is almost perfect for the turns... or are you drving a 4AT?

HTM Yaris · 07-04-2007, 07:58 PM

it is 5speed . I don't know if you can hit rev limit with auto . I have never owned an auto tranny

yrsdrgn · 07-04-2007, 07:59 PM

Good shit haha. I wish i could drive along with you......and yes you can hit rev limit with an auto..........I am testifying that now.....that is smells like fuck after you stop and turn the car off............real real bad...............so i don't recommend running rev limit with auto. I only did it cuz some jerk in a mercedes was trying to pull a fast one on me on the freeway

cool, btw what kind of seat do you have? are you using a harness?

HTM Yaris · 07-04-2007, 08:36 PM

stock seat and belts.............................for now . I would choose Sparco Torino's with Safe-Quip harnesses .

07typeS · 07-05-2007, 01:02 AM

very jealous <---------. When I go up to Lake casitas, which is a good amount of miles north of santa barbara, i went up the hills to a campground and saw how much fun it would be....

It was about a 5 minute ride, downhill, with a few more straights that were a 1/4 mile long which allowed some speed to be picked up + or - 80 mph, man it was the most exillerating ride ive ever taken. I had a 2000 olds alero, with the v6, had about 200lbs of torque, dropped on kyb g2 struts and eiback springs, 225/40/18 nitto 555 tires. handled excellent, id love to try it on the yaris.

eTiMaGo · 07-05-2007, 08:35 AM

Thanks, man, that works great

Beautiful road, though, I understand now why you'd want to go there so often

Just out of curiosity, what kind of speed are you going around those bends? It looks really fast from the video!

HTM Yaris · 07-05-2007, 11:14 AM

at no point am I below the posted speed limit of 30 mph . The rev limiter indicates that I am doin 62 mph . In on of those turns I am doin 65-70 mph (orange signs) . Average would be about 45-50 mph . Yeah Its a frickin blast

Kaotic Lazagna · 07-05-2007, 01:21 PM

nice. any brake fade?

True, but you would need to add plenty of gravel, cows, deer, giant 4x4's, tractors, sasquatch's, log trucks, etc to every blind curve and then it would be the same.

Of course 33 west across the mountain from VA is pretty awesome.

HTM Yaris · 07-05-2007, 05:58 PM

Brake Fade hahahahahahahaha lmao . I totally demolished my pads . The indicators were gone . When the brakes get hot , they don't make that squeal sound. I had to replace them on the spot . My rotors turned a pretty shade of blue . The got hot enought for me to light my cigarette . NO JOKE . Thats ok , I just got my Goodridge SS brake lines in yesterday . Along with some ATE Blue fluid , my brakes should be quite snappy .

Kaotic Lazagna · 07-05-2007, 06:06 PM

wow, didn't know that they couldn't take that much abuse...let us know how it feels when you get all those things put in.

HTM Yaris · 07-05-2007, 06:23 PM

Actually , the Toyota pads are pretty good . I have been to the dragon 5 times . Every time I go I take the "scenic" route . Which is basically a 3hour "warm up " . Then when I get to the Dragon I usually do about 10 runs each day . A run consist of 318 turns north and then 318 turns south . So theoretically , for someone like Bailout , the pads should last between 80k-100k miles . The best part is that they are only $50

I have yet to find a serious flaw with the LB . Eventhough lately I find myself wondering what an EVO engine and tranny/drivetrain would be like in the LB

yrsdrgn · 07-05-2007, 10:19 PM

HTM Yaris, you should be the first to drop an evo engine/tranny into the heart of the Yaris LB....go ahead take my dream away LOL haha jk jk. but that would be a nice/expensive project

Kaotic Lazagna · 07-05-2007, 10:54 PM

wow, so the pads do last a long time.

hahaha, i wanna see an EVO motor/tranny in a LB.
