SCCA Classing Update - I WAS WRONG!! - Toyota Yaris Forums

Tamago: Well, the letter-of-the-law is clearly in my favor on the RSB, but the SCCA official who determines these things at the national level determined the interpretation to be a little looser than the strict "from the factory" wording.

Regarding the tC upgrades at Autox, I'd also say the TRD springs and maybe clutch would be potential improvements. I'd need more info on the clutch, but the springs are stiffer and lower. The tC comes with an RSB, right?

Yaris-X, you've got to recognize the issue of unsprung weight. 18's are CRAZY heavy, both rims and tires. The stiffer sidewall in no way offsets the weight gain. Purely a cosmetic upgrade.
