drag racing you dont have to worry about bumps and stuff but you do have to worry about lift that what will cause a car to lose traction on fwd car but your not going more then 125 so you dont need to worry about that. grip racing you do have to worry about loosing traction in the rear but thats also compansated on a properly set up suspension comes down to dampening control chassis flex chamber rebound tires toe setting downforce wing adjustment and braking force all come into play about grip racing. drag racing the more zerod out the alignment the less resistence you have the more aerodynamically the car is the better and down force or position of the wing is all key to keeping the rear planted at higher speeds. as for drag racing you want as much weight as possible on the front anyways to keep the front down and traction there

4.Short Shifter

Those are the cheap mods I recommend for the best Bang. You will FEEL the difference not just think it lol
Yah..so Ive been driving an automatic 2dr echo for awhile..(had to drive from North Shore to UH Manoa everyday...i was sold on the gas mileage!)...I always told Peterpoop it had some potential (the engine..not really the body.hah), but he didnt buy it..he laughed...NOW im hearing that the Yaris (same engine) is a fun 4 cyl that has potential even with minor mods, you can feel the diff..sheesh.

Anyways...excuse my "noobness"...how does the corolla TB (throttle body) work with the Yaris exactly? and do you have to worry about ECU and tuning?..or am I way off base here?

With the lighter and wider rims you get better......

Acceleration
Braking
Cornering
Suspension response
Thanks...I'm looking around for rims that will match a silver Yaris...so far ive been persuaded to something in bronze...still looking for brands...idk...i still got some time since my car dont come in till July!..haha

Thats cool how a little wiring can make a change...This probably won't be effective in a manual though, right?

I wouldn't think you'd feel anything on a grounding kit. I had a grounding kit on my g but no help at all....on the other hand it was FBC. oh well.

The throttle body is actually bigger than the stock one which lets more air into the car. Think of it like a beefed up version of a intake. More air means more combustion. Mo pauwa!

Your gonna have some side effects though. nothing you can't fix. I'll help you out with it.
Oscuillation is one
HIgh Cold Start Idle
CEL

These are the sideeffects but I have been able to fix all except the high cold start idle.

I'm actually looking for some 1zz injectors to play around with but the junk yarddoesn't seem to have any hahaha I might just have to buy em or look somewhere else

grounding wires do alittle bit but you dont feel it um dont buy just make your own outta 8 ga wire thats all it is and plus to you can actually make em look clean i run a set on my yaris i even tied all the coil ground screws and ground it and it made some difference on accleration i think they made like 2 hp or something like that when they dyno'd it
