SCCA Houston Region B Spec build :)

Not 100% sure, but doubt very seriously SCCA would have any problem with you running the full TRD suspension system. The TRD parts are so basic compared to say the Ford Racing and/or Mazda Speed kits that both have adjustable ride hieght setups.

Here is a link to Sparks Toyotas TRD page with the parts I'll be running in NASA...

By comparison here is the Ford Motorsports kit info, quite a bit more racecar like, than what TRD is currently offering!

Here is what Mazda Speed offers for the 2, which I think is the cars the Yaris is most closely match to in about every category....

The rules certainly don't lend themselves to that interpretation. We had one guy questioning if we could even run the car, because he did not see it on the list of BS cars for World Challenge. You are stock until they approve your kit.

I think the other guys have way overdone it on the kits... They keep dumbing cars down with weight and restrictors because the Fiat can't keep up - even thought it got a CAI and header. Not much point in developing good parts for a car if the reward is being slowed down more. That is why when we talked with Toyota we decided to keep it simple and inexpensive. I would rather see the Yaris get a weight break then have to buy a more expensive suspension kit.

Well, I guess NASA it is!! They have already given me the go ahead to run the TRD pieces and compared to the other trunk kits, it's pretty cheap and simple. Even if it doesn't draw more B-Spec cars out to the track, I can make additional mods and run it as a Performance Touring car, with nearly limitless modifications.
