First SOLO w/Yaris STS
Took the Jellybean to our first SOLO yesterday, did ok. I did not drive at all last year, (was in NYC working), and a new car, on new tires. Won STS, although the page shows me in STX. Beat a bunch of Corvettes in Super Stock (woo hoo)

I did not see a TRD Glove box mounted Gauge cluster,gas cap, or the TRD race header...
And for gods name why are you running such a high air pressure when you run?

and for what reason are you running this high air pressure... everyone who does solo2 here runs low pressure like the 12-22psi range on compacts

Damn, now i have to buy more TRD parts I did not know about, or hmmm perhaps i can make my own carbon fiber glove box lid and mount a tach and gauges in it. Anyone interested in that?
Been running SOLO for several years now, and those tire pressures are pretty standard. Please see my other post in this section with a link. Also you can read TireRacks suggestions. If you ran those kind of low pressures you would roll right over on the sidewall?? Not thinking about getting the TRD header, as in autocross it is all about low end for the most part with low HP cars. Will want to do some more research on it first. Also like I said it shows me in STX but officially in STS, these results will be official after they do the paper audits. Solo Rookie of the Year Wichita Region 2003 Solo HS Champion Wichita Region 2003 Solo HS Champion Wichita Region 2004 Solo National Championship 2004 40th (yes we sucked bad) Solo Mid DIV Second Place 2005 PS all those early SOLO's were in my Mazda P5 which weighs about 900lbs more than they yaris :) PS times silly slow?? I guess that would depend on the course eh? This was a huge course compared to some dinky parking lots I have been in, of course I really enjoy racing in Arrowhead Stadium parking also it is even way bigger. Guess I am saying times are relative to the course size. |

Ok cool, but boy those look really really ugly. I will see if I can come up with a CF glove box lid, with perhaps some Autometer gauges in them.

Thanks Black Yaris for pointing that out!!
I retract that I have "everything" TRD (hopes everyone here does not take everthing so serious all the time) New statement::: I have damn near everything TRD on my car you can possibly order that will make my car perform better in SOLO. I guess the main reason I posted was in the Auto-X part of the forum to share ideas between people who actually are participating. In the Mazda forum for the last several years we discussed a lot of great ideas to make our cars better. Hope to share more ideas with everyone, and also to hear back from all of you. P.S. I am probably way older than most here, so take it easy on an old man! |
