I had a new camera to try this weekend... But the damn thing came with no instructions and I could not figure it out. Luckily I had my trusty Go Pro in my bag. I like the angle of the roof mount, and I tried to lower a bit this time by adding an extension, but it is way to shaky and still to high up.

I was thinking the same thing. Can't see much, but still love it! Keep up the good work.

Holy cow I can't believe there is that much flex in a car with a full cage !!
I thought I was watching through a fun house mirror.
Just kidding. The vid was great.
I guess the cars ahead were a different class and they had longer legs for the straiter sections of the track ?
Anyway keep up the good work you are doing us all PROUD !!

"Flex", what do you think you are seeing? Don't mistake what the camera is doing for a chassis issue. btw the camera is not mounted to the cage, that is on a sticky foot attached to the inside of the roof.

It was a four car train... Note: If you are a newbie do not start with a 400hp T1 Corvette, you only look stupid when you are holding up a bunch of "slower" cars. Next in line was a T3 RX-8, then the SSB Honda Civic and me bringing up the rear. The four of us ran lap times that were about the same, all around 2:10s. You can see how the cars on DOT race tires with power make time on the striats, and I make it up in the turns - slicks are great.

Once I had a decent gap on the second place HP car I slowed to a 2:12 pace, with the idea that I might stay on the track if I did not take any more chances.

i love that image. Safe Racer with the nice dent in it.

So a question, how much of your success is the Yaris, and how much is your experience? Is the Yaris really as good as you make it seem, or are you manhandling the crap out of it to make it perform?

Early on it was all about manhandling the crap out of the car... Now that the cars is getting faster I have to do less work.

It's plastic, it should pop right back out :D

soloecho2 · 05-03-2011, 10:32 PM

It was ment as a joke about the camera image. Thanks for the info on the other cars. Keep up the good work.

OK. Someone else made a similar comment, so I thought I was missing something in the video.

Here is a PDF version of the second installment of the Yaris feature: http://pdfcast.org/pdf/sportscar-yaris-part-2

Jason@SportsCar · 05-05-2011, 08:04 PM

New part to test fit this weekend:

rob323 · 05-05-2011, 08:06 PM

Which mount are these on a Yaris? Echo's don't have anything like that.

Jason@SportsCar · 05-14-2011, 12:29 AM

Well it fits in the hole... wont know if it works for a few weeks.

cali yaris · 05-05-2011, 09:18 PM

Energy Suspension will have to compete with TRD on that one. I would stock theirs if the price is right -- and they call.

thebarber · 05-13-2011, 03:45 PM

good info

ROCKLANDTOYOTA · 05-13-2011, 03:47 PM

my catalog says yaris and mr2 spyder thermostats are NOT the same!

the yaris shares same part # as all the 1nz motors and supra and 2.7 liter tacomas.

the mr2 spyder shares part #'s with camry, matrix,highlander,etc....

Jason@SportsCar · 05-13-2011, 03:58 PM

Since I have the spare motor sitting in the garage I may try and test fit it this weekend, I just wont have a chance to track test it.

btw... It is a Stant 14077 if anyone else wants to try it. Obviously you are at the mercy of the electric fans in a street car, so you will see little if any change except at freeway speed.

I looked into it because of the higher temps we are seeing now. With the 15" wheel/tire combo the car did not rev as quickly, and the temps stayed right around 200. Now with the 13"s the cars revs quicker, and maintains a higher average RPM, this has driven the temps up around 210. Hopefully this does the trick.
