Weight Reductions - Toyota Yaris Forums

Only problem with that is there is more electrical loss going from the alt. to the battery and back to the engine. If that is done, I would recommend getting a spark enhancer (like the kind used for Turbo's and Super's, or making the gap a tad smaller, just to make sure you don't miss-fire). Also, instead of paying so much for replacement pulleys, you could always try and just drill holes in the stock ones to lighten them. Not saying it's smart or safe, just money saving. I think I will try it and post results from one drag to the next. There s a track right down the road from me, so I hope to go there one of these days soon.
