Cool pics, looks like it was a ton of fun!

Yes it was! That tall white cone to my left is a pivot cone where you have to circle 420 degrees around it. I would go in fast and yank the e-brake to get the rear end spun around, then gas, then e-brake once more. People where asking if the things rwd

So how was your e-brake after the day? Did you have to readjust it?
Did you increase your rear tire pressure and did you run with sway bars? I don't think you had swaybars, but figured you ran a higher tire pressure in the rear.

Great pics BTW, Awesome run!

The e-brake works fine and didn't need any adjustment. Drum brakes actually lock up nice

I did install a "spin turn knob" or "drift knob" on the e-brake handle half-way through the day which made it much easier since I didn't have to worry about pressing the button to release the brake. I was surprised to find out the same knob from my AE86 Corolla fits the Yaris threads perfect



My car still uses the stock front sway bar and no rear bar. Only suspension mods are the SK coilovers and some R-compound Bridgestone tires with 32psi all around. The rear tires never really had a chance to heat up so they broke loose pretty easily.
