Excellent! Glad to see you are doing another Yaris.

Ryze268 · 01-22-2015, 06:05 PM

Sweet, how much does it weigh?

yougojay · 01-23-2015, 04:55 PM

COOL! This is going to be exciting! About 2,100 pounds I believe, that would be my guess. Woo Hoo!

Thirty-Nine · 01-23-2015, 07:12 PM

Looking forward to this.

mr_miles · 01-23-2015, 07:15 PM

Hooray! I anxiously await the interior part-out thread :p

I have never seen a stock US spec car that light.

This one is 2286lbs with a 1/4 tank of fuel. Just need to pull 450lbs out.

LTHatch · 01-23-2015, 08:59 PM

Fantastic! Can't wait to see some of the weight reduction tricks.

SilverBack · 01-24-2015, 12:17 AM

That's the same exact 3-door I was hoping to replace my Yaris with, right down to the color. Damn you JK lol.

Can't wait to see the build process!

I was close from memory - my next guess was 2,300 - Regardless, This will be interesting

Jason@SportsCar · 01-24-2015, 07:06 PM

Progress. Soon the cutting will start.

LTHatch · 01-24-2015, 08:00 PM

Very nice! What are you cutting out if you don't mind me asking.

Jason@SportsCar · 02-02-2015, 12:20 PM

More progress, got the interior out to the point we can install a rollcage. More cutting and weight reduction to take place later.

Funny thing was finding a cellphone under the carpet, embedded in the padding. This is a car that has never been sold, never left the Toyota campus until we picked it up. A little digging and we found the phone appears to be from France. Some poor person installing interior bits on the assembly line likely lost it.

Filled a dumpsters with all unneeded interior bits, total time to strip was about 4 hours.

It is locked. TMS is going to ship it back to TMMF. Could be a goodwill thing, or a point of training.

mr_miles · 02-03-2015, 05:11 AM

Can I buy a few of the interior parts off you Before they're in at the dump? Could use the a pillars and the stereo surround plastic lol :p
