First time AutoX with the Yaris

[alch3miss]

I've auto x'd before, and I managed to stay competitive in my novice class. Its about ones enjoyment of ones car as opposed to what other people think imo. I have the URL to my competitions results. We had 3 Yaris's if you go towards the bottom in the Novice class. https://axwaresystems.com/axorm/file...232009_fin.htm

Cool! I took 2nd in the Novice class this season, and was winning events towards the end of the season with my new wheels and Kumho XS tires on a much-improved alignment that wasn't there at the start of the season. The Yaris can be a terrific autox car - maybe not class-leading at NATS - but you MUST get a rear sway bar and some negative camber up front. At the very least, get the camber done, as the stock settings will have you plowing on every corner. It was amazing what the alignment did for this car. It appears the TRD rear sway bar is stock-legal as far as SCCA is concerned, so I'd go for it. With those 2 changes and some decent tires, you should be able to be super-competitive locally, as the quoted post and others have shown.
