Same thing goes for your 6.5" wide wheels. Stock class is extremely strict, specifically because the cars are carefully class to be competitive. You are currently being given the most generous PAX index of any car in autocross, but your car has been given a significant handling improvement over your HS competitiors and the rest of the feild by way of your PAX. You wanna win that trophy fair-and-square, right? If you doubt me, post the question on your local SCCA forum. |

I'm also pretty sure that throttle controllers are legal, so I'm considering the Blitz. Until I see a dyno chart, I'm holding-off on the headers. So far, my dyno numbers (107 whp) seem similar to people who have the header too, so not sure it does much. Thanks for your great input! |

For the springs what about the AOE Tigertech's they are 4k/3k. You can get them through Micro Image

rarer than JDM -1 of 1!

If i could add to this topic. I've been solo-ing for 4 years. And in subarus, now that i've blown a motor, i've been racing the yaris for a few events. I plan to run it for the rest of this season, and possibly for the next.
With that said, I now know why Yaris-x is soo fast in his class. His car should be classed in Street touring. In hawaii region, as per scca classing, NO rear sway-bar allowed, as well as aftermarket spring/struts. You can replace your strut, but stock springs must be used. There are a few modifications to be done in H-Stock, and are mostly small bolt-on stuff like axleback exhaust, a front swaybar may also be added or removed. And R-comps (tires) are allowed. That's mostly it. Here's my mods, and it's crappy, but i'm in ST because of them. Blitz intake, TWM SSK/shifter bushings, ultra room bar, and TRD swaybar. THAT'S IT!! I am currently on hankook rs-2's in the front, and primewell's in the rear. I can kick out the rear and spin this car like no ones business! I am getting smoked right now by 2 honda fits, a maxima, and a few other cars in ST. Mods would help i would think, but i'm trying to improve myself as a driver (although to be honest i'm pretty good w/ AWD) trying to learn FWD. Yeah, good tires would help, maybe 20 more HP, some neg. camber upfront and a smidge in the rear. Some toe-out in the rear. But i can't see this car competing against miatas, esp. on tighter courses, which we run in our region a lot. But i guess i will be the only one racing, as you guys will have winter break soon, so i'll post up my results. |

that's because a yaris and a miata will never be in the same class, EVER ;)

Well, he appears to be whooping up on all kinds of cars, since he's 2nd overall in the SCCA region he runs in. |

Your buddies Miatas would run in Modified classes, since they are obviously FI cars with that HP. I have a bunch of buddies here in the DFW Miatas that are similar. |

F- STREET PREPARED is not prepared (eg.- FP,/EP/BP, etc.)
Prepared classes are where you would be with the gt-spec under bars. And a yaris has no place in ANY prepared classes. Go look up what runs in prepared classes. |
