Jason were those brakes originally from a mustang? They look very similar.

No, it is an Alcon/AP Racing monobloc pad.

I seem to have the worst luck with pulleys. This time the woodruff key failed. Stock pulley going back on.

Bluevitz-rs · 01-25-2013, 11:08 PM

Add another pin 180 from the stock one

xnamerxx · 01-25-2013, 11:11 PM

How did you manage that one? Do you think its a pully issue or just the fact your running 500+ rpms over stock? In either case that sucks.

I think RPM related. Pegged the limiter (7300) a few times due to standing water on the track, 3rd gear wheel spin.

YIKES :/

Decided to play with the rear toe settings on the Yaris... Based on what Bobby tried I decided to go with a smaller washer - I still wanted to maintain some rear toe in for high speed stability.

The car had 1/4" (total) toe in, so I started with a nice set of AN .032 washers. These were a perfect fit, did not even require any trimming to get around the hub. The surprise was these put me at an 1/8" (total) toe out. That was a much bigger swing than I expected.

So I went and picked up some sheet metal, 22ga and 26ga, to make some shims. The 22ga put the rear at 1/16" (total) toe out. The 26ga resulted in zero toe. I am going to give it a try with zero, but I may also pick up some 30ga material to make another set, which would hopefully let the car settle in with just a tiny bit of toe in. Something about 100mph in to the Kink at Road America or Turn 9 at Willow Springs that makes me think a little toe-in would be a good thing.

Once I have a thickness I like I am going to make a one-piece shim that covers both holes on the appropriate side of the hub.

1/4" in to 1/8" out? That is a big change. Will be good to see how you like 0 toe.

FHT_Racing · 05-13-2013, 02:26 PM

Yep. Definitely interested.

Jason@SportsCar · 08-05-2013, 03:02 PM

Started the prep for the 2013 Runoffs this past weekend. Pulled out my engine and installed the old Bestwick one - which makes more power.

While draining all of the fluids I noticed the TRD thermostat in my engine had a tear in the internal seal. So far it had not been an issue, but it could have caused the unit to get stuck eventually, also could mean loose rubber bits floating around in the engine. The Cosworth unit in the other engine still looked like new, the size of the seal and the build quality look much better.

xnamerxx · 08-05-2013, 04:33 PM

Anything exciting in store for this motor?

ilikerice · 08-05-2013, 05:17 PM

How did the 0 Toe work for you?

Nothing yet. But it made more HP than mine, and I think mine is due for a head gasket - it got a little hot the last time I ejected a crank pulley.

No discernible difference in the handling. Its FWD, it just wants to go strait.

Jason@SportsCar · 08-07-2013, 03:12 PM

While swapping engines I noticed the stock clutch line was starting to weep around one of the crimp fittings, not wanting to risk bashing the insides of my close-ratio gear box it was time for an upgrade. So I ordered the stainless steel braided unit from Micro Image, it should be more than up to the task.

Jason@SportsCar · 08-30-2013, 05:46 PM

The 99 car is ready to race again... The good motor is in and tuned, alignment is set, new front fenders without flares are on. Next stop, Buttonwillow this weekend for a Cal Club SCCA Double Rational race weekend.

After this event last year I pulled the trans and changed the final drive, swapped all the 13" wheels for 15" wheels and made some suspension changes - I could not get my car on 13"s to go as fast as the Bestwick Yaris on 15"s.

If all goes well this weekend I will only need a fresh set of tires and a car wash before the Runoffs.

xnamerxx · 08-30-2013, 09:39 PM

Gotta say the car looks better without those flares, nice and clean looking now.

BTW are you running the 4.3 final drive or the 4.1?
