TRD and EFFORT in the same sentence

all they did was slap their label on the part like the rest of their parts......

I knew that I was going to be bashed :( But this seems to happen when to people when any comments are made towards performance mods.

Can I just say this then? Why gain .3 seconds on a car thats 100hp? Its an economical car, not a drag strip car lol.

Only thing after that is added vibration.

Liltoaster · 07-12-2009, 05:09 AM

I'd be curious to see what kinda improments the mounts and the shifter improvments would do on your car.

Wow no one is actually putting down some numbers........ My Echo (sorry not a yaris) ran a 15.23 at Mission Racways the other weekend. Rolling on street tires still :)

Anyone else put down some numbers at the track?

ChinoCharles · 07-12-2009, 10:03 PM

14.9x was my car's best time, but I didn't make the run. Driver mod is sometimes the best mod.

Garm should be running -4's in a couple weeks.

Because we can. Fuel economy forum FTW for you.

Stiffer dog bone mounts will make shifting under hard acceleration smoother andwill limit engine movement, they may prevent wheel hop too. For people who cant afford the TRD ones a cheap "Hot Rod" trick is to buy windshield urathane and fill the stock mounts cavities with it. Any of these mods will transfer a lot more vibration into the cab of the car.
Cheers.

That is one issue that I am having with my car at the trck is Wheel Hop

Even with 215/50/15's with a sticky tread I still hope away and that's with full suspension.

Im thinking that might be my next mod on my car.

What setup you running to get this time?

ChinoCharles · 07-14-2009, 03:01 PM

14b turbo @ 6.5 PSI w/ all the trimmings, custom straight pipe, NST pulleys all around, lightweight wheels. I think that about does it.

Nice setup!! And you have had no issues running on a stock motor so far?

ChinoCharles · 07-14-2009, 04:50 PM

Not yet, knock on my big wooden desk. I think the motor worries are a total myth myself. If Tamago didn't blow that xA up, we should be fine.

also remember i only put down 155whp and 150tq to your claimed 180whp or whatever..

;)

the transmission is going to be the first thing to go, especially if you keep banging gears in a straight line

oh and keep in mind, i blew a completely stock 1nzfe up on the freeway. snapped a connecting rod. no turbo, no nitrous, no anything.

You can say it. And you can be wrong to judge others negatively for what they want to do with their vehicles. That's why you got bashed before.

I'll take the .3 seconds, if my goal is to go faster.

Transmission will take alot of abuse trust me!!! I know of a 200hp Yaris who's tranny is still good condition with no issues that has been down the track a few times on slicks.... the motor on the other hand didn't make it

Personally I just need to find traction to get it going faster.... im going to run a pair of slicks to see if I can brake into the 14's
