THAT is interesting!!
At this last one, that first right hander, I was pretty much flooring it all the way through. I like that line of thought! Upgrade the Yaris!!!!! You're currently on a 16" wheel, right? On a low powered Yaris, going to a lightweight 15" will help. And I'm liking the R1Rs :) just got some new ones thru Micro Image. Thanks Garm! I'm curious to how both our cars will stack up. I haven't autoX mine in quite some time. Yeah. Straight on.... it was funny. Except for the two guys working that area. Hey, which anti-roll bar you running out back?? |

Yeah I'm running 16" OZ Chono's or something bought them years ago. Yeah I need to move to 15"s this car needs all the torque it can get since that 1-2 shift is so wide hell if I had some redline id be downshifting into first on some of these corners. My car isn't all that well setup so it will be interesting I don't think I've seen yours run yet.
I saw some craziness in the end section but was having a really hard time keeping track of everything since I was working radio and some of the course workers were quite green. I'm running the TRD bar in the back when I thought running H Stock in this thing was a good idea. I haven't really wanted to replace it since I don't know how the car is going to behave with new springs so its going to be one of the last things I change. It's worked out so far for me. |

LOL - I remember my first autoX, with Long (LT Noogie) - He was riding shot gun and showing me what to do. I went to downshift into first, cuz of the speed i was at. It was hard to do it, by the time I was able to I was moving SOOO slow, he said, "what are you doing? are you trying to PARK the car?"
There are some videos of me running. Including a neat slo mo video. Mostly, interior view vids I did myself. JustJesusVideo on youtube. My car isn't set up at all. Just ran it in CST. Tiger springs and UR rear bar. HAD TRD intake but I sold it when I thought I was going to do HS. dumb move. |

If Toyo made r1r in 13" id go that route in a heartbeat but 15" is the only size where I have decent tire choices.
Well my box of toys came in today 350# purple springs now time to get some for the front :) I've been running CST in my mustang but the pax index is retarded because I can run full slicks in its real class and still pax lower. You going to be bringing your yaris back for the thinking of lincoln champ? |

I hope you give us a chance to quote you on parts sometime, we are usually quite competitive.
what is "thinking of lincoln"? In 13's you've got A6, R6, V710, R888, Ventus and a few others. not so bad.

The last box of toys I got were spark plugs and wires :( I want better toys. I thought CST / CSM were NOT indexed?? Thought it was a run-what-ya-brung class. CSM is for R-comps, CST for street tires. I'm definitely going to El Toro on Aug 5 (Garm, Cal Club names their events. the next one is Thinking of Lincoln, takes place as I noted above... you should come out so I can beat you finally!!!!) --- I was planning on finding a way to "caravan" my crx as well as my civic, as I do have a co-driver I committed to for the civic. I guess I can maybe bring the Yaris instead. Ultimately, it depends on the run/work order. I can do X-runs in the 2nd vehicle I bring out. and Garm, sorry, but he can't run any of those tire choices you listed if he plans to continue to run in STF. It's the street tire class. :) |

The springs I bought were only available from one vendor from what I could find it was an odd size 3" coilover spring used on off road trucks or something basically a hard to find part. I would normally go through you guys since your the only vendor that can get parts in a reasonable amount of time are the easiest to work with. Quote:
Yeah thats the reason I ran CP last event I don't like working at noon and running at 4-5 it gets old quick. |

If anyone is interested in running an autocross on 8/5/12 Cal Club will be hosting the Thinking of Lincoln event. Here are the details https://www.motorsportreg.com/index....7BE4DCFE0FEFE0
You should bring your car out Garm, people still talk about that thing like it was a unicorn. |

People are STILL talking about his Yaris? Oh WOW. He hasn't been to an event in a while!! |

I think even with my R888's I have to be in SM or CSM. But I don't understand the classing at all, and I'm not really competing to win.
I'll try for Aug. 5, but we'll see what's going on at home. I bet they talk about it... "yeah there was this really fast Yaris being driven by a total NOOB senior driver....".... .. .....................

I think your car falls into SMF or a EP car or a CSM car if you don't care about which national class your car runs in.
Nah I haven't heard anything negative about your car just that it was a crazy yaris. |

With the interior out you are limited to CSM or XP. You could go to Mod, likely EM, but you are better off in CSM or XP.

Well I decided to test fit the rear coilover springs I got and thank god Toyota drilling holes in the spring seat so I could use something to secure the spring just in case the wheel got to full droop.
Also learned the old perch perch pads from my mustang are a perfect fit for the spring adjuster that comes with the HR coilovers. Although these springs through a wrench in my plans now because going down the Saleen test route I didn't get one instance or corner exit wheel spin like I normally would so I don't know if removing the front bar is a good idea anymore even though they don't feel all that much stiffer than the ones I just removed. |
