No plans to change it... Unless we have to run a fuel cell. We are legal with the OE tank, but if we cant run the car on fumes without fuel cut, we will install a cell.

Sitting at Beta Motorsports right now, as John builds our new exhaust.

Only about ten days left to prep before the first race... There is way to much to do.

First race is right around the corner - pending my success in the garage this weekend - if anyone is around PIR (Phoenix International Raceway) Jan 16-18, stop by and check it out. Cost nothing to watch.

We recently did a feature on fire suppression systems. Just for fun we decided to test one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rrc6GPdHLg

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I guess someone knew I was behind on my prep for this weekend, the race just got canceled. I guess they are replacing the catch fences at PIR and wont be done in time.

Seeing all this makes me want to go rip out the rest of my interior! Show cars are fancy and all, but when you see a car that's been properly setup for racing it's DEAD SEXY in my eyes! Too bad there isn't much of a SCCA scene up here in northeast ohio :( There is a local track (Nelson Ledges) but I don't think there are too many who'd do a submicro class.

WOW... I just saw the proposed graphics package for the car, the art director for Racer magazine (who does all of our special project for Toyota) is building them, and the car will get a full wrap.

They wont be installed until we are 100% done with the exterior, we still have to see how much fender work we need to fit the 10" wide slicks, but it will look sick - for a Yaris.

Less than when I started... But far from done. I would guess someplace in the 2000lb range right now, but with lots left to do.
