Depending on what tires you are using you have the option of the local classes, like SU in San Diego and CSM/CST with Cal Club.

Buahahaha good one.

Classing for autocross at this point seems a bit rediculous. Some say I should be in Emod, witch contains sub 2000lb cars with tons of horsepower...But if we look at my car it's still running Focus ST times....it's weird

What did you guys think of the exhaust sound? That's the RPM long tube header

Check out the latest DIY video...

Great editing Tom, really coming along with the videos. And solid choice in background music, who was that btw, it was a good tune?

[ArmstrongRacing]

Thanks man! My wife does the editing now, she has the vision for what YouTube videos should be. I was terrible at if if you look far enough back haha. All of the audio we use is supplied by YouTube and it's free! This sound track was called "Foundation"

Very nice.

Awesome! Dabbu, @rohvitz (from Instagram) and myself are all registered. There's a post in the California section.

Looking forward to seeing you, and your beast of a Vios there, man.

[ArmstrongRacing]

From what I've been told by @rohvitz (who also entered last year), they do group models together.

We'll be on Yaris row!

[ezhacker1]

Hope you guys get enough cars to be in your own section

[ArmstrongRacing]

Wow maybe we will have awards for best Yaris this time and the Priuses can go pound sand!

Don't hope, come down and join us

Grats on your podium place. I really want to do this swap now and run SMF with the civics. hahaha

[ArmstrongRacing]

Thanks man! You will need Rcomps to do well in SMF, and an LSD helps a lot too!

[ilikerice]

Definitly. plan on doing the LSD with lightened flywheel. I got a voucher for a set of tires from a 1st place win. Will probably go ahead and get those BFGoodrich 225 R1S... but was debating on getting a set of 16" rims and go to 245.... I don't think I want to sacrifice acceleration for cornering though...

[ArmstrongRacing]

I've ran 15x8 and 225/45's and that's a lot of grip. But you will need to relearn the cars behavior....it's so much faster

[ilikerice]

If I do Rcomps, I plan to run an 8" rim with 245, maybe 255 if the price is right. With Rcomps, they are designed to have that mushroom sidewall because of how stiff they are. 225 on a 8" rim is ideal for a street tire (200+tw) because you want either lateral or a slight stretch on the side wall because you want the least amount of flexing of the tire side to side to the road.

I used to run SMF in the CRX and ran the Khumo V710. I tried them out on the Yaris when HS was allowed to have Rcomps before they changed it from H Stock to H Street. Rcomps really bring out the body roll in a yaris, LMAO.. Lets just say I was warned about getting on 2 wheels with R comps with stock suspension....
