I attended an event this weekend and out Pax timed my friends SM Mazdaspeed3... its not like he doesnt have over twice the hp or anything :)
Have fun and don't forget that the yaris can be fast at autocross, but most likely someone will hand it to you in a stock s2000....

I used to place in the top 10, even top 5 pretty regularly at our local events until a bunch of S2000's started showing up. Damn those S2000's.
As I said it's all in what shows up to your local events. I can go to the local Porsche club events and usually beat all but two of the Porsches. They're a "fun" club and most of their drivers aren't serious autocrossers, they just drive seriously fast and expensive cars. Go autocross. Have fun. Drive fast. Drive smooth. Always remember, it's more fun to drive a slow car fast than it is to drive a fast car slow. |

winning would b icing on the cake to me. i just want to race. the simple fact that i'll b the only one in my region with a s/c yaris will b awesome enough alone. nobody will expect a heavily modified yaris to show up to an event. they wont know what to expect. and the element of surprise is a powerful weapon.

Your last 2 sentences say it all, Loren, nothing to add to that.

Nothing against Loren, but he seems to have a bit of a fan club following around Yarisclub.

It all comes down to your local competition.
on a national level if you're asking if a yaris can compete you can't be top 10 nationally. It'd be interesting to see someone throw 20k at a yaris and build it to full FSP spec and see how she performs. Will it "win"? probably not. Fully built 1nzfe Intake Intake manifold Exhaust Best Tune you can find stiff ass coilovers no sways 15x10s 275s non 60/40 rear seat lightweight bucket seats steering wheel cage and watch the little roller skate kick some ass with the right driver. :) |

I like to think I'm the fasted Yaris in BC in Solo 2. But then again, I think I'm the only one, next to DNGZ and someone from Victoria.
For 2009 I will be running the following items on the car that has helped to make it competitive and it gets alot of comments from other drivers who see it run. They just can't imagine a Yaris doing this against the Lotus, Miata's, S2k's and a very fast STI, Imprezza and e30BMW (the latter 3 always vie for the FTD). 2008 SM class I ran intake, headers, exhaust (stock pipe for lower end torque), engine mount-this helps alot LSD- this helped even more short shifter, pulleys, hi performance fan belt racing seat, harness, coilovers 5kg front and 6kg rear - set full hard front and med hard rear. centering tape on steering wheel = bling. And then there is the stuff that I had installed but didn't really need. CF hood and hatch, side skirts, a spoiler and some other cosmetic stuff..... 225/45/15 Nitto Nt-01 (they're more a track tire than autox tire) and 15 x 7.5 wheels. 2009 will bring the stage 2 clutch, lighter flywheel -just waiting to install this when I get the new tranny. XB transmission - shorter gears. 225/45/13 on 8 in rims Toyo R888 GGG softcompound _Special order from Japan!! Blitz SC Oil cooler, 6kg springs in front etc etc etc. There you have it. At least 20G's in a beeping Yaris!!!! Geeezzzz.. Why?WHY WHY??? Well, cause it makes me laugh during Solo 2 and I have alot of fun. And, I get laughed at during Solo 1 events, but still have fun, cause I'm always in first place in my class. (and I'm usually the only one in my class..) With some practice and better grip and power for 2009, I think I can crack the top 5 and be consistent in the top 10 in solo 2. dreams......
