You're right.

The guy flashing his lights behind your car might be my brother :). He always drives soooo fast!! He has 2 Audis these days, one A6 and the little hatchback A3 (?) I think.

To fmicle: I miss Europe too at times.

YAY! I have more than one, actually. (believe it or not, my prior "daily" got better gas mileage than my yaris)

TheFallenV2.0(?) also has one!

*tomato* · 11-04-2009, 01:11 PM

^ I looooooooove

the CRX. Mine was going on 23 y old when I traded her for the Yaris. It was a tough transition, let me tell ya. That car was a lot of fun to drive, even stock, and yes, you could get some speed out of the HF, too. I wish I could have kept it, but I needed a low maintenance DD and a car that age always wants a little something fixed, you know

Here she is. http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/alb...pictureid=1555

Man, I loved the handling of that car. Sure miss it at times

My brother had the SI, a little more power than mine. Damn these were good cars!!

Sorry about the thread jack.

Yeah, I believe it's possible. The CRX is so much lighter and about 2/3rd the height of the Yaris. The HF version was supposed to get up to 50 MPG but to be honest, I never got more than approx. 30, which was still pretty damn good back then.

Yeah...I've had mine to 100mph before (on a legitimate track)and, um, VERY unstable, at least in stock config.

Try doing it on a lowered suspension and with a rear sway bar. Those problems are a thing of the past for me now.

Mine, on stock suspension, was quite smooth at 115mph or so. El Mirage, so yes, it was legal :) Don't believe it was smooth? I'll look for the video and post it.

Tomato Sweet rex! 1st gen, don't see those around much these days. I'll be working on an 88 HF, and will be pushing to get it to 55-60mpg. Wish me luck!

Tamago Nice way to bring it back to topic ;) Nice tranny.

BTW
Mabey a gearbox from a diesel have a "longer" fift gear a you can put him in your gearbox.

The irony of that Scan Gauge in the pic is of epic proportions.

frownonfun · 11-05-2009, 09:28 PM

i have also had mine up to 115mph and it's not that bad but i've only done it a few times here and there (when i'm really late for work) but i just don't think i would feel good about sustaining that speed for a very long time and especially not frequently.

curik · 11-05-2009, 11:10 PM

I've just noticed that a lower number for final drive means higher top speed. I thought it was the otherwise. That means TRD actually makes a longer final drive for the yaris, albeit it has been discontinued.

http://trdparts.jp/english/list_race-mis_ncp13.html. Look at the gearing chart, stock maxes around 220, and the TRD maxes at almost 250. These are theoretical max speed however..
