it is common that when switching the rear acle mount position, if you have a street setup with somewhat soft springs, you will hit the gas tabk going over bumps, the trd springs are fairly soft and just keep an eye on wear on your gas tank over time, only way to avoid is go sloe over bumps or get stiffer springs

I've never had this issue, and I've had this setup for over a year now. I even had my whole family ride this weekend, wife in the front passenger seat and the two kids in the back. I'm around 180lbs, my wife's around 90lbs, my 10 year old son who sat behind me is about 70lbs, and my 16 year old is about 150lbs. We went over some dips and bumps, I didn't hear or feel any slapping of the rear axle beam on the chassis. I'm on Tein S. Tech lowering springs, and still stock shocks on the back, Bilstein B8s struts up front.

Yes those are contact marks above the brake hose on the chassis rail. Quote:
This is 100% a MOTORSPORT ONLY modification that requires relocation of your brake lines. Just thinking about this the upper hole is not on there for motorsport, toyota would never do that this is for the 1.3 litre 4wd vitz, it has a rear diff and drive shaft that needs to clear the rear subframe and has a different rear subframe again to the RS/base along with a different fuel tank. The 4wd are always automatic 1.3 litre 4 speed auto and kinda rare. No more recommending this to people everyone. Edit: the 4wd vitz are 2nz-fe not the 1sz-fe.

Also I will take more pics when I change the suspension back to lower mount holes to show the contact points and why not to change the suspension mounting points. |

youve got my attention with that..which rolla box? and assume said rolla box would mean 1.5 or 1.8 swap too?
the exporters ALWAYS have a few of em listed tho there isnt always good pic's...ive come across a few of the listings tho that had pics galore , and can state with some certanty that the driveshaft runs right down the center of the car and connects to what looks like an old toyota pickup axle...but like i said, the fact that they all have a teeny tiny engine has kept me from pulling the trigger as no one seems to know anything about the trans or swapability but lets face it the chassis will take whatever we want, its a question of "how" do you keep the 4wd...so what trans were you thinking?...i mean hell at that point you wouldnt need a factory 4wd unit, you would need a rear axle, driveshaft and trans and rear axle mounting |

Also Im slowly ticking off the things needed for some light autoX racing in the future and on the list was the brake pads and rotors. The brake upgrade came with spme unknown chinese brand "CAC" brake pads and had some rust spots and scratches on the braking surface even after some heavy footed stops and lively driving through the windys for 6 hours and I don't pad slap and so the rotors are at the brake shop getting machined and I have ordered some Bosch pads. I still get a staff discount at one of the part stores and so thats what pushed me towards the Bosch Blue pads at $117 front and rear versus Toyota which was $267 front and rear. What type of brake pads do you guys run? and what have you used for competition racing? Last edited by Compeer; 01-19-2023 at 06:30 AM. |

Got the job done today anyway guys after my pads and rotors arrived this morning, They barely skimmed 0.5mm from my rotors and they are mint again, New Bosch semi metalic pads feeling great already. Also check out how terrible these "CAC" brand brake pads were. Front left was normal looking while the right is half glazed as seen below. And the back left and right are far worse. ...and now I need to repaint the wheels as they keep chipping. |

hawk being a race company isnt one of those things youll see on a shelf..well..anywhere
ive run a few grades of their pads in my alfas and the pads were worth every over priced penny, but i havnt been able to justify it for the yaris...yet |

I looked at it but the brake line doesnt have much room and still goes over the top of it and the brake line was a bit tight when I shoved it down that side to see how it would fit, I think you need a 2-3cm longer hose?
