I did not see a TRD Glove box mounted Gauge cluster,gas cap, or the TRD race header...
And for gods name why are you running such a high air pressure when you run?

and for what reason are you running this high air pressure... everyone who does solo2 here runs low pressure like the 12-22psi range on compacts

Damn, now i have to buy more TRD parts I did not know about, or hmmm perhaps i can make my own carbon fiber glove box lid and mount a tach and gauges in it. Anyone interested in that?

Been running SOLO for several years now, and those tire pressures are pretty standard. Please see my other post in this section with a link. Also you can read TireRacks suggestions. If you ran those kind of low pressures you would roll right over on the sidewall??

Not thinking about getting the TRD header, as in autocross it is all about low end for the most part with low HP cars. Will want to do some more research on it first.

Also like I said it shows me in STX but officially in STS, these results will be official after they do the paper audits.

Solo Rookie of the Year Wichita Region 2003
Solo HS Champion Wichita Region 2003
Solo HS Champion Wichita Region 2004
Solo National Championship 2004 40th (yes we sucked bad)
Solo Mid DIV Second Place 2005

PS all those early SOLO's were in my Mazda P5 which weighs about 900lbs more than they yaris :)

PS times silly slow?? I guess that would depend on the course eh? This was a huge course compared to some dinky parking lots I have been in, of course I really enjoy racing in Arrowhead Stadium parking also it is even way bigger. Guess I am saying times are relative to the course size.

during my runs i always check my side walls...low pressure then will roll on the sidewall...i am new to autox and have only done 4 events and then 2 more for the last sundays of this month...i have a co-driver who is experienced more than me (he was champion last year in H-stock in a auto Neon)...so he is helping me out with tuning my car. The car has alot of grip with the front using all tread... the rear is not bad either. Its all about how you feel also with that set-up...it works for me...even B4 i got the azenis i was usingth stocks at 3 out of the 4 events i did...PSI was at 48 with my stocks which were 195/55 dunlops...they still have a little life on them

Great job on getting 1st in STS...that is my goal
