since the sparco evo3 is a sidemount you'd just need a base and then a set of side mounts that work.
I'll be looking into the bride stuff too. |

Drew runs a 275 on an 8" wheel for autox on the STi.
now that I've got russell it's time to start prepping for FSP. suspension, wheels, another set of wheels w/ r-comps, and seats. |

we test fit the 15x7 +23mm and 205/55 15s from my buddies xA last night.
got some photos, it pokes just a little too much for my taste. although with some more camber it might be ok. I love how the yaris has ZERO fender lip! once we get the car on it's suspension then we'll be test fitting again and ordering up some street wheels for Russell :D |

Whats with the current trend of taking the factory offset and dividing it by 2?
A Yaris with ET22 wheels will only corner better if the result allows for a 10+ inch wide wheel and extremely wide tires. If your running 205-225's there is no need for a wheel wider than 8" and for that you definitely dont need a wheel pushed out to the fenders. All that much offset is going to do is wear out CV's, lose drivetrain power, make it handle quirky, and probably bang up your fenders. You might win some low-rider contests though. At slow speeds wheels with improper offsets and funky alignment settings may make a vehicle feel likes it cornering better but it may just be a sensation. There is quite alot of engineering that goes into factory suspension settings despite the "wider is better" slogan coined by Pontiac (since when have you seen a Pontiac Grand Am murder a slalom?). A Yaris in FSP would be very fun. You would have a blast at local matches but at nationals I doubt the 1nz and solid beam rear are going to win many trophies. Still, while its fun to be competitive it is not a necessity. I have had some of the most fun sliding around turning slow times than pulling fast times in my 2000 MR-S. Sorry to sound like a party-pooper . I say auto-x the wheels off it! Get us some video footage while your there. Its just nice to hear of couples racing and having fun together. |

SOLO FSP
I drove in the 2004 SCCA SOLO Nationals in FSP, we had some mechanical issues and did not do well that year. (yes i am blaming the car ;) ) I was the tire warmer in an 87 Renault GTA. I think the Yaris could do well, but that level of cars are really prepped. My guess is that locally you would do well in H Stock against the Mini's, or STS if you want to add springs, etc. Ordering my car tomorrow and getting the TRD shocks and springs, sway bar, etc and will probably solo in STS locally.

I've been giving this some thought, currently driving a subaru in Street modified.
My main deterrent in FSP with the yaris is POWER. I don't know if the intake manifold is legal in that class if it ever makes production. Also, my region has two people running in FSP. An accord and a BMW. Both cars (well both drivers) are fast as hell. To be competetive with them i think requires some more power. I don't think handling is this cars downfall as much as it's lack of torque or horsepower. |

The Yaris does lack power . A helical LSD in a Yaris would make it a giant killer .
Here are both of my Yari at the Autox http://s208.photobucket.com/albums/b...MyMovie1-2.flv http://s208.photobucket.com/albums/b...nt=YarisIX.flv

Yeah, I was working towards prepping my Yaris for FSP, decided not to bother though it was a blast the few times I went and did it. Enough low-end torque to avoid shifting in and out of 2nd constantly will save your transmission if you can afford to build that route.

I haven't been able to read the whole forum, but if you run the V710's or wider Hoosiers on 13 x 8's you'll get better gearing in the car and lighter rims. My Lenso's are under 9lbs each and Second gear is much better than running on 15's. It helps with the tighter 2nd gear turns.
I ran at the Porsche Club event last weekend and had a blast on old V710's (rubber was a bit hard), but it did relatively well PCA March 30 event Alot of cars at this event ran R-comps. Especially the Miata's. Normally it's just Porsches and a few other cars, but this was kinda like an invitational for the various groups in our region. A friendly contest of the clubs of sorts. A clip of the Yaris at the event with some morning runs, ebrake fun, spinouts and the last run of the day which was my best time for 8th out of 50 drivers (note: one guy drove two cars which didn't count). Yaris at PCA event

Threadjacking, I know, but tell your buddy in the xA that he'd probably improve his times if he turned off his radio, quit talking to his passenger and kept both hands on the wheel (never hand-over-hand or 1-hand). Some very basic AutoX stuff, and focus is everything in AutoX. Cheers!
