I don't think we are making enough power for this to be a big concern. So far none have failed.

Cool.

People will be able to ditch the JDM jungle gym, and put in a bar that makes the car stiffer and safer.

Jason, any plans to run all three in a cup race anytime soon?

All three cars are going to be run at the PlayStation GT5 media launch, and we have been kicking around the idea of taking the other two cars to an actual race. We will just have to see how 2011 plays out.

It's not that they fail, it's that they allow WAY too much engine movement. I'm talking like a good 3" back and forth.

^ Just changing out the trans mount alone makes a huge difference in shifting and transfer of power on shifts.

The rear one or the side one?

cali yaris · 12-28-2010, 02:17 PM

The rear mount = trans mount = dogbone

I need to get inserts for mine. I took my torque damper out (for winter) and noticed a difference. Wheelspin is a bitch

Tuff day at the office...

Options alone, as delivered: $17,750. = more than a Yaris

Price as driven: priceless

And the women here thought this was much cooler.

That may be because we will actually let them near the coffee pot.

Jason@SportsCar · 01-10-2011, 05:56 PM

Off to the races... Heading out to Phoenix on Friday for the SCCA Double National at PIR. The Honda I was racing against last season is on the entry list, so it should be a good battle.

Built a new intake system to test. The car came with a K&N short ram system that had a built in velocity stack. I have never seen one before, and looking at the finish on the piece I believe it was a custom CNC piece from the cars previous life. I had been kicking around the idea of trying it, but the setup needed some fixing. The short ram lacked a breather input (the hose was laying loose in the engine compartment), and from what we have seen on the dyno the Yaris likes a long tube intake - makes better Tq.

So I ordered up some tubing, clamps and a breather filter so we could give it a go. This setup gives us about 6" more tube length than the off the shelf K&N system we were using. It also has a larger diameter filter, the velocity stack, and none of the baffles for the MAF.

We will try it this weekend, and next time we go in for a tune we will run them back to back on the dyno.

I still need to get some heat wrap for it.

thebarber · 01-10-2011, 09:58 PM

fwiw, i have a short-ish ram intake.

ran 106whp/107wtq with that and a resonator-back exhaust...
