Serious Autocrossers?

[anonymous user]

If i could add to this topic. I've been solo-ing for 4 years. And in subarus, now that i've blown a motor, i've been racing the yaris for a few events. I plan to run it for the rest of this season, and possibly for the next.

With that said, I now know why Yaris-x is soo fast in his class. His car should be classed in Street touring. In hawaii region, as per scca classing, NO rear sway-bar allowed, as well as aftermarket spring/struts. You can replace your strut, but stock springs must be used. There are a few modifications to be done in H-Stock, and are mostly small bolt-on stuff like axleback exhaust, a front swaybar may also be added or removed. And R-comps (tires) are allowed. That's mostly it.

Here's my mods, and it's crappy, but i'm in ST because of them. Blitz intake, TWM SSK/shifter bushings, ultra room bar, and TRD swaybar. THAT'S IT!!
I am currently on hankook rs-2's in the front, and primewell's in the rear. I can kick out the rear and spin this car like no ones business!
I am getting smoked right now by 2 honda fits, a maxima, and a few other cars in ST. Mods would help i would think, but i'm trying to improve myself as a driver (although to be honest i'm pretty good w/ AWD) trying to learn FWD.

Yeah, good tires would help, maybe 20 more HP, some neg. camber upfront and a smidge in the rear. Some toe-out in the rear. But i can't see this car competing against miatas, esp. on tighter courses, which we run in our region a lot.

But i guess i will be the only one racing, as you guys will have winter break soon, so i'll post up my results.
