New advice on brake pads! I've been running catbotech XP8, but getting them is becoming hard (MI is out of stock)

I have mine custom cut. Did not like the characteristics of the Carbotech product, so we have www.porterfield-brakes.com cut a set of Hawk DTC-60 pads from another application down to size. Much easier to modulate, and a set will last all season.

So I went to the msx convention and scca banquet this weekend. I leaned a good bit and had fun talking to Andy Hollies after a tire panel where i was asking some questions about pros and cons on tire sizes. He gave me some great advice.

Well at the banquet this year, it was more academy award style system where nominees had videos of thier accomplishments. I found it very entertaining watching Loshak video for the president award where you, Jason, and Lawrence where fighting back and forth. The crowd loved it and i heard some chattering at a couple tables around me about how much of an underdog your yaris is.

Ill be there next year and future years to come. Good luck this year. Cant wait to see the new project unfold.

Just had our final race weekend in the Yaris, taking the pole, both race wins, and resetting the track record at Buttonwillow. Great way to send it off. So far this season: eight Majors wins, six poles, two track records, locked up the Western Conference championship. The new car will have a lot to live up to.



Disassemble has begun.


Cage in the new car should be done, picking it up next week to start transferring the go fast parts.

It has been narrowed down to two possibilities, just waiting for the decision from Toyota.

Interesting find... The bottom bar is the 23mm 2007ish sedan bar I have been using. Middle is the 24mm 2007 hatch bar. Top is the 24mm 2015 hatch bar, the kicker is the 2015 bar is tubular while the others are solid. This will drop unsprung weight, and due to a softer rate should free the car up and help put power down. Going to have to try it out.




For 2015 the Yaris also has aluminum endlinks.

Engine/trans from the 2007 are now at home in the 2015. And between the Energy Suspension dog bone, and TRD side mounts, it does not want to budge.



And the interior is now covered in hammered silver.
