Speaking of daily driving, since you have the 4.3FD you can buy just a taller 5th gear for better mpg/lower rpm. Email this guy and ask for the .725 5th gearset from a 03-09 Corolla; mmerlimm@teleport.com

When you are ready I can send you the tools, just return them when you're done.

Thanks man, I miss it on weekends since it normally sits in the driveway while we use the Vibe. It's a blast and even when i have another daily it will still be street legal thanks to no longer needing etests - I'll still be able to take it out for a rip when I feel like it.

Thanks for the info on the 5th gear. It will be needed for tracks like mosport when i start there soon. Is that the sake gear that we chatted about a while ago that was a matrix gear?

Any scrubbing with the 195/55 setup? Rolled guards?

Thanks, I'm happy with them, they are 15x7.5 +35. I rolled my rear fenders for my track set up which are 205's and I have 10mm spacers on the rear. No rubbing iron issues, fronts are not rolled but I'm running -1.5 rear and -2.8 front camber which helps. It's a nice looking aggressive set up when looking head on at the car

I was looking at the compartment cover just behind my steering wheel in the Yaris. Would be the perfect place, although they'd be obscured when I turned the wheel.

I wonder if this would work?

I'll take a pic as soon as my new wheel is installed (currently delayed due to postal strike)

That is the gauge pod I bought. I cut off the bottom and top part so it is essentially just a screw on piece with 3 pods
