SCCA Houston Region B Spec build :)

About the only "off the shelf" pad is a carbotech - typically they don't stock them, but can make them in a few days.

I typically do stock them, in three or four flavors.

3rd Place at the SCCA Circuit de Mayo race this weekend :)

Congrats on the 3rd place finish.

Out of curiosity what tires are you running? Your car also looks like it sits lower than mine did you modify the BS suspension?

[Jason@SportsCar]

Video or it didn't happen.

When the Yaris got its TRD shock and spring package it was rewarded by the CRB with 100lbs of weight. Now the Nissan Versa has picked up an equivalent kit, but only gained 60lbs.

Wow gearing on that car doesn't look that bad if the suspension kit isn't TRDish it might actually do well.

I submitted my letter to the CRB asking them to look at the data recorded at the Buttonwillow US Majors, and to reduce the weight of the Yaris back to its 2400lb listing.

I also pointed out the inconsistency in their adjustments for kits, as the Yaris got 4% more weight, and the Nissan only got 2.4%.

My car does seem to sit lower than other kits. Any info Jason? Lol

If the car weighed 2400 and used the rear sway bar as well, it would be killer!

I thought your car looked a little low. It is possible that due to the very early production of those springs, and what they were used for, that they could have been modified or are not the same as the TRD springs we see today.

The shocks are easy, those part numbers match up with the current stuff. But those springs are a different color, matching the old catalog images and not what we see today. Might be worth updating at some point. Maybe you can find someone with the current springs that would swap for something lower.

Jason, just checked the next few Majors entry lists for B-Spec. Mid-Ohio has SEVEN B-specs, including a 2014 Nissan Versa Note for David Daughtery. So the preliminary approval says June1 and the package is TBD?

Awesome. He made a great showing with a Z after coming out of retirement for the 50th Runoffs. No doubt if he is in a BS car it will be fast.

Looks like David is back, running a two car effort this year.

AWESOME!

I feel the stock spring felt better than these early TRD springs. We'll see how it goes at Texas World Speedway this Sunday! But yes, I do plan on buying the newest TRD springs soon.

Is anyone correcting their rear toe alignment? Here is what my current alignment settings are with factory Toyota camber bolts...

-1.6* Camber
+5.4* Caster
-1.2mm Toe-Out

-0.8* Camber
+3mm Toe-In


Thanks,

Andrew

I did my rear toe. Just cut a set of simple shims and put them under the front of the hub.

[xnamerxx]

Yeah I picked up some .5mm ss shims from mcmaster. On the street car I'm very close to 0 with it being slightly toe-in

[FHT_Racing]

The shims don't need to be angled?

[xnamerxx]

They probably should be but sometimes you work with what you got. Haven't seen any issues on the street car.
