And we are done.

Any of the cars have any mods done or is it just suspension work?

Both have: AC and interior removed. dual Sparco race seats with 5-point harness. Full fire system. Quick release steering wheel. Window net. Eight point cage. TRD muffler, K&N intake (not on yet, but on they way), TRD swaybar, springs and shocks, 15x7 K1-TS wheels, Goodyear Eagle dot race tires (205-50-15). -2 camber in front. Carbotech XP8 brake pads in front.

Going to be slow in comparison to the HP Yaris, but should be a lot more fun than stock.

There was some talk of that by the Toyota guys, but nothing firm. During the interview Taka (GT producer) said it takes six months start to finish to map a new car for the game.

The GT cars are working in the rain. Word from the track is Chris (GT producer) is the quickest, even taking down a Corvette in the rain. Like a true racer he even kept the dry racing tires in the wet.

haha, yes!

Jason@SportsCar · 12-21-2010, 02:18 PM

Willow Springs is not nearly as fun in the rain.

Due to massive amounts of rain we kept the play to a minimum and focused on work.

Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to lap in the GT cars, but we did get to do some acceleration comparisons, the stockish GT cars are so much slower than the HP car. With the slick track, and no proper rain tires for any of the cars, they had Philip and I do some of the driving for the video they were working on. We had to do some mock racing, and some very tight (the cars were within a foot) runs around the wet track behind a camera car at speed - it was more stressful than a real race.

The real struggle was the acceleration runs, even in 3rd gear the HP car just wanted to spin the tires. Slicks are not the best choice for a wet track.

At the end of the day the guys who ran the GT cars went out for a few laps in the HP car, one of them got out shaking.

knowmercy · 12-21-2010, 08:13 PM

The GT cars also don't have the transmission modification either?

No, stock engine and trans.

Bluevitz-rs · 12-21-2010, 11:00 PM

Hey, did you ever do anything to the motor mounts on the HP car? Because the mounts on the Echo's are notoriously soft.

SilverBack · 12-23-2010, 05:06 PM

Awesome to see the HP Yaris now has brothers. And GT's interest is the icing on the cake. Congrats Jason. You da man!

cali yaris · 12-23-2010, 06:58 PM

I am making a nice deal with AutoPower and will have bolt-in roll bars and cages in stock by late January.

SilverBack · 12-23-2010, 08:11 PM

^One of those would look sweet on the S14 JR's selling, assuming you take it off his hands

Jason, any plans to run all three in a cup race anytime soon?
