SilverBack · 02-04-2010, 01:08 PM

Got it done yesterday. Before, after, and more:

Wita09 · 02-04-2010, 01:13 PM

Nice, Nice, Nice

Aothachos · 02-04-2010, 01:17 PM

Awesome, feels better driving it right? You have the trd springs installed? And you have a 2nd mod there, I see the red yarisworld.com sticker =P

Tamago · 02-04-2010, 01:18 PM

next mod! Penguin Garage hub spacers from microimageonline.com! get that rear flush!

*tomato* · 02-04-2010, 01:21 PM

Nice, how does it feel now?

cali yaris · 02-04-2010, 01:36 PM

slam! nice! you racing on Sunday?

SilverBack · 02-04-2010, 01:37 PM

They're new but broken-in Progress springs I got from a user here. Yep, that YW sticker sure adds *counts fingers* 3 HP lol. It feels alot more stable around the corners I'll tell you that much, so I should start clocking faster times at auto-x from now on. Still getting used to kinda falling on my ass while getting in and having to look up a little while driving. It's gonna take a minute before it becomes natural...

Tamago, spacers will have to wait a while. Right now I just wanna get through this Sunday's runs first and then follow it with an alignment. It's not so much the all-around negative camber that I'm thinking so much about as it is the rear toe problem.

*tomato* · 02-04-2010, 01:43 PM

so it adds stability, OK.

do you have a rear sway bar yet?

SilverBack · 02-04-2010, 01:52 PM

It adds stability by lowering the center of gravity. There's still gonna be the same body roll.

No sway bar yet, but it's on the list

*tomato* · 02-04-2010, 01:57 PM

gotcha

cali yaris · 02-04-2010, 02:37 PM

Progress springs are stiffer than stock --- roll will be reduced.

SilverBack · 02-04-2010, 02:50 PM

Really? I did notice that it's not as bouncy as stock. I guess I wasn't paying enough attention while cornering (busy having too much fun). I'm gonna have to go run a few laps around the fwy interchanges later today to find out

LA Yaris · 02-05-2010, 12:02 AM

Looking Good !

Just need to get some Rims and you will be set.

SilverBack · 02-05-2010, 12:17 AM

Thanks. Rims will be ordered in due time. I'm looking at a set right now perfect for auto-cross

LA Yaris · 02-05-2010, 12:40 AM

whats the brand ? are you staying with 15" ??

SilverBack · 02-05-2010, 12:47 AM

Yup, 15's on sticky tires are primo around the cones.

Off-topic: We're having a run this Sunday. We could use a sedan on the track to change things up a little.
