OK. Someone else made a similar comment, so I thought I was missing something in the video.

Here is a PDF version of the second installment of the Yaris feature: http://pdfcast.org/pdf/sportscar-yaris-part-2

New part to test fit this weekend:

rob323 · 05-05-2011, 08:06 PM

Which mount are these on a Yaris? Echo's don't have anything like that.

From the cross member to the bottom of the trans.

If it works good, and if the math $$$$ works out, Energy Suspension might put these into production.

rob323 · 05-05-2011, 08:16 PM

Hmm, I wonder if this is an upgrade I can make on my echo cause that rear roll stopper cops an absolute hiding.

cali yaris · 05-05-2011, 09:18 PM

Energy Suspension will have to compete with TRD on that one. I would stock theirs if the price is right -- and they call.

i love that image. Safe Racer with the nice dent in it.

So a question, how much of your success is the Yaris, and how much is your experience? Is the Yaris really as good as you make it seem, or are you manhandling the crap out of it to make it perform?

Early on it was all about manhandling the crap out of the car... Now that the cars is getting faster I have to do less work.

Another item to put on the to do list. Going to try the 170 degree thermostat from the MR-2 Spyder. Dimensionally is measures the same as the Yaris part - and the Yaris uses the same standard part as the Spyder - so hopefully it works.

$10 VS $75+ for the TRD Japan part.

I probably wont install it until we put the new motor in.

thebarber · 05-13-2011, 03:45 PM

good info

ROCKLANDTOYOTA · 05-13-2011, 03:47 PM

my catalog says yaris and mr2 spyder thermostats are NOT the same!

the yaris shares same part # as all the 1nz motors and supra and 2.7 liter tacomas.

the mr2 spyder shares part #'s with camry, matrix,highlander,etc....

Jason@SportsCar · 05-13-2011, 03:58 PM

Since I have the spare motor sitting in the garage I may try and test fit it this weekend, I just wont have a chance to track test it.

btw... It is a Stant 14077 if anyone else wants to try it. Obviously you are at the mercy of the electric fans in a street car, so you will see little if any change except at freeway speed.

I looked into it because of the higher temps we are seeing now. With the 15" wheel/tire combo the car did not rev as quickly, and the temps stayed right around 200. Now with the 13"s the cars revs quicker, and maintains a higher average RPM, this has driven the temps up around 210. Hopefully this does the trick.

Stant lists the 48308 (OE style 180 degree) as fitting the Yaris and 05' Spyder, along with a dozen or so other cars.

This is why we test stuff. Fingers crossed.

Jason@SportsCar · 05-14-2011, 12:29 AM

ilikerice · 05-14-2011, 11:06 AM

Blown_xa · 05-17-2011, 12:05 AM

What pads do use for the track? I run into brake fade issues after just a few laps on Hawk hp+. What our your current spring rates? I bumped up my front rates after removing sway and fight instability during high speed braking , but it rotates fine eveywhere else now.
