^^I agree, compare your times to the STF guys. your goal is to beat them by a couple seconds. It is good that you are coming in 1st in SMF. All it takes is a decently prepped civic and you will know what humble feels like, lol.. Congrats on your 3rd win

I think something a little bigger is going to be his challenge.

I wouldn't really call Bretts car "the beast". Back in 2013 I could usually keep within a second or two of that car, even with his wing and R comp tires. He generally couldn't keep up with the Wongs or Will Kalman in their STC cars.

I am keeping a close eye on Mike H. and that RSX....and my goal is to beat his time eventually. You guys must also understand he is a National champ level driver in a FAST car. Im sure a really good driver could beat him with how my car currently sits, but a 130hp yaris on springs isnt the same as a fully prepared RSX.

Agreed. There was a Civic that showed up from time to time locally (prepped for nationals) and whooped up on everyone. And even then, he had a lot of room to improve for national level competitiveness. My hamfisted technique was no match for him. =)

I talked to RPM today and started setting up a wholesale account. Everyone that completes a 2zr swap will get a discount on the long tube header and midpipe!

They mentioned your header when we talked, Ill see what we can do. If we cant work out a rebate, maybe I can send you some Amsoil at cost to make up for it.

Ok this thread is BS, I should not have read it now my Bronco might have to spend another year not getting FG body parts :(

I guess I'll find out eventually, anyone know the legality of this swap with an older than 2011 engine into a 2011 Yaris in British Columbia? I guess I could look for a older Yaris with a bad/blown engine and swap in a newer engine.
