not bragging but your estimate doesn't apply to everyone.

nothing to brag about..

but let's see if you'll break 15's as-is lol

i'll be posting my results on scionlife in the xa engine section. they have a nice sticky on how not all 1NZFE motors are the same.

I'm sure it can be done.

I did a 15.85 1/4 mile with my 1.8 Yaris (estimated 115 whp) with heavy 17 OE wheels and the only mods were a CAI and removed rear seat.
My car is also a little heavier than a regular Yaris.

I'm sure a 1.5L Yaris stripped and with some mods should be able to pull a 15.9 at least.

i believe SHINLEE ran a 16.3 stock with weight removal before the hack so it can be done.

Old classic lol

omg ROFL -- awesome !!!

Did you notice that the weight savings paid off the best in faster times? Stripping it did better than changing to 15" wheels, for example. Nice!

I think Colin Chapman, founder of Lotus, said it best when asked how to improve a race car: "add more lightness"...

ChrisR · 04-07-2009, 03:29 AM

sure, maybe a civic is as fast or faster, but it doesn't FEEL as fast as doing it in a yaris...and that's the whole point that some of you guys just don't get
