Sure he did better than I ever will, but at least mine is still in one piece

Does the owner not know that the Yaris is a fwd car? That means they'll have a tendency to understeer. Constantly flooring it while trying to turn won't help. Gotta share the tire load between braking/accelerating and turning.

I think he knows now, or at least he will when his body shop repair guy will show him where the drive shafts are later lol

Also running on a stock suspension didn't help either

LOL. I'm sure it didn't, but someone who knows how to race a stock car will do better than one that doesn't know how to race and has a fully modded car. Myself, I'm not sure where I'm placed since I haven't auto-x'd my Vios...yet.

Rofl... sadly some people think just cause you scream for the car to turn, doesn't always make it turn...

SilverBack · 02-22-2009, 08:17 PM

Don't worry it'll turn, ..after it hits something lol

100% true. Can't tell you how many times I've taken my Y to the Irwindale drag strip on Thursday nights and beat-out full-modded Civics and Accords. I'm not even into drag racing as much as them

Nice Vios you got. You should really take it to the track sometime

I might be. My gf's Hachi crew might be renting out a section of the Fairgrounds in Vallejo. I might chip in and see how my Vios will fair with their Hachi's.

The same goes for the invisible passenger brake pedal.

I've seen worse happen on an auto-x track.
