What exactly are you purposing it for?

Looking at past lap times from the track days it ran at, it was not fast - our Showroom Stock C Nissan project has put down faster laps at BRP. However, there are a ton of variables, we have no idea the talent level of the driver, and no idea what tires they were on.

Regardless, we are confident it will be quicker when we are done.

We are building the car for SCCA's H Production Club Racing class, with plans of taking the car to the National Championship Runoffs.

The only bad thing is, the National race season in this Division starts in January. At this time we believe we will make the Double National race at PIR, but the car will be largely stock. We only have time to make the required safety updates before that race, all of the go fast stuff will come later in the season.

We also have a number of problems to address... Power steering is not working, and there are some non SCCA class legal mods we have to undo. Development will keep us busy for a good part of the season.

On a curve friendly course the Yaris is very competitive. I ran mine at Waterford Hills on an open track day and was running within 10 seconds of what our spec neons run during a race. And all it had was a rear sway bar and some azenis 615s.

Also I would forget about the power steering for now, it's shuts off once your going very fast(at least thats the common theory), so once your on the tack you shouldn't have to worry.

Good luck on your build!!!!!!!!

Hopefully your not talking about a sentra, my old spec-v on k-sport coils and 16" Rotas feels like my Yaris does with trd springs/shocks and rear sway bar on stockers......I know many sentra auto-x'ers.

We need to find some OE bumpers.

Spent some time on the car over the holiday. Cut a bunch more unneeded sheet metal out of the car, and disabled the steering lock.

Started to pull some of the wires we no longer need, but what a mess. The previous builders liked to use the twist and tape method of wiring. I doubt they actually built the car with this method, more likely in a hasty attempt to remove everything not bolted down (and some that were), they did this before they turned the car back over to Toyota.

Also found out why the power steering does not work, two wires cut right at the unit in the dash. So far I have not been able to track down the other ends.
