Is there anyone interested in doing a track evenet at the driver traing track at Mosport in the spring. Unfortunatly there are not alot of track guys in the east end of Toronto.

Track day at Mosport DTT via http://www.touge.ca/Touge/20090419DDT.htm April 19 1 to 5.

That's a good price for a track day, wish I could make the trip over there that weekend.

soloecho2 · 03-20-2009, 12:39 PM

No takers ?? Other then me.

soloecho2 · 04-12-2009, 07:04 AM

Thanks Again Loren for the tips. It looks like if I want to play with other Yaris and ECHO drivers I'll have to go south ? Any other takers the test day is next Sunday ?

soloecho2 · 04-20-2009, 06:41 AM

Well Ladies and gentlemen you missed a hell of a day. My god it was fun. I believe that i did the ECHO proud. The event was uneventful. The ECHO can carry more speed into the corners than I thought. Hopefully next time some more people will be able to make it out. Just so that you know My ECHO is lowered, 15" rims, rear sway bar, urathane front sway bar end links, Borla exhaust and a strurt tower brace. Oh ya it also has 228,000 km on the clock.
P.S. Loren the tire presures HOT of 38 front and 42 rear were near perfect. Thanks again

^ glad you had fun! What did you use to measure tire temps?

soloecho2 · 04-20-2009, 12:28 PM

Never checked the tire temps just rechecked the pressures hot the brought them back down to 38 F 42 R.

Just checking for interest. The next two track days at Mosport are July 5th and August 2. The July date is a maybe for me but I will be going to the Aug date.

bribri · 06-03-2009, 04:58 PM

I'm interested in both those days. I have a yaris stock. Only camber and toe adjustments so far. I'm up in Barrie

soloecho2 · 06-09-2009, 09:08 AM

Hey there Bribri any possibility for Aug 2 ???

Lazerdot · 06-09-2009, 11:09 AM

I'll be driving in a Time Trial on the 14th. 3.2 mile track with some technical areas and some pretty fast areas as well. My car has ~-1.5` of camber and 0.0 toe in the front. Track bar, TDR springs with stiffeners and struts. Running Kumo MX 215/17. AFE intake, TDR Exhaust, SS, NST 10% underdrive crank pulley.

For AX I run mid 40psi front and high 40psi rear. Lower tends to "roll" the tire to the point the rim looks like it could be on the ground. No $ for better tires.

Can anyone give me any insights of what to expect.

Recommendations?

YaRS · 06-09-2009, 08:56 PM

I'm definitely interested in both the July and August dates.

bribri · 06-09-2009, 10:16 PM

I'm still working on July 5 but I'm not firm yet. I'm having a problem in corners. I seem to reach a point in th corner where both my tires roll and I lose the ability to turn sharper or turn faster.. The tires are not sliding. Should I increase negative camber up front or reduce toe-in or adjust tire pressure or reduce toe in the rear or all of the above. I feel I should be able to corner hard enough to slide at will.
thanks Brian

soloecho2 · 06-09-2009, 10:45 PM

What tire pressures are you running ?? I feel I should be able to corner hard enough to slide at will. Which end do you wish to slide ??

bribri · 06-10-2009, 07:15 AM

38psi cold all around.The grip feel fine during a 80 km/h corner but if the radius decreases the tires roll as if someone switched a switch. I have stock steel wheels with 285/60-14 bridgstones (very gripppy) a 23mm sway bar and I've replacedd the top camber bolt with a toyota 1504 and getting the most negative camber from that set up.I'm thinking more negative camber because the car still sways in corners. I'm also thinking th rear toe-in is resisting the turning.

soloecho2 · 06-11-2009, 06:47 AM

How did you fit 285s on the front ????? Just kidding I assume its a typo. It sounds like your at the limit of the tires but without knowing the corner I can't say for sure. If you want to ballance the feel for that situation increase the back tire pressure to help loosen the back.
