Booernz. But understandable. I'm just glad it made things better for the car.

Hey Jason,
I am assuming that was you who wrote the article in the Pro Series section for February SCCA magazine.

Was a good write up on Global Rallycross. Nice to see others recognized than just Ken Block.

Be interesting to see how long they can fund that program for.

Couple of updates...

After the Runoffs incident that killed the front of the car I put the bumper beams back in. But as the pair of them weighed 20lbs (without brackets or hardware) I just could not leave them alone. Thought about cutting some metal out of them, but then opted to go with some aluminum bar stock. The idea is not to be able to play bumper cars (which I find not having real bumpers it is easier to avoid), I just wanted something to support the plastic cover. These weigh about 2lbs.



I was flipping my rear tires, which had been in place since the Runoffs, and found a broken wheel. Not sure if it was from contact at the Runoffs, or the result of dipping a tire off the track at the Auto Club Speedway race in Jan.



The May issue of SportsCar mag is in the mail now, which includes our long tube header build. Big thanks to xnamerxx for making it possible. Oh, and the Yaris just happens to be on the cover and included as part of a feature on Limited Prep Production cars.

We want numbers now that the magazine is out :)

I'm either going HP next year or selling out and going GT with another platform.

That isn't going to happen. We printed percentage of improvement, that will have to do. Absolute numbers are pointless, dynos vary, so what I get on one dyno wont necessarily translate to another. However, regardless of the dyno being used, a percentage of change should stay relative.

Percentage would go up is you spun the motor a little faster. Rods are good for 11k ;)

Its just a shame the rest of the parts are not.

Since the Runoffs will be this cars last race maybe we will find out just how durable it is.

All of our chassis have reached the age limit for non production/sales units, and will be crushed after the Runoffs. We knew that day would come sooner or later. Both the HP and BS car at this point are going to be two redesigns behind, so Toyota has no reason to keep them out there.

Not sure whats next... Take a break. Find a sedan chassis to put all the parts on (I just like a sedan better than a hatch). Or change to another car altogether. To soon to say for sure.

Got some good news from our friends at Toyota... They are going to let the #99 live for at least a few more months, we get to start the 2015 race season with it. Sounds like we can possibly continue to use it until Toyota's end of year, which comes in April.

Gives us lots of time to work out whats next...
