At some point it will all be new, so might as well get this stuff out of the way.

I meant the old parts that you're taking off. Are you planning on pitching them? Surely you'll keep them around as spares... and wouldn't it be nice to know whether or not they are good?

But, sure, if you've got more budget than time... rock on!

Most of the time its more time than budget, but we already missed one race, so we will do everything we have to make the next. I am not a fan of keeping old parts as spares - you took them out for a reason.

Once I know what parts a car uses I always try to keep new ones. For the RX-8 it is coils, plugs and a fuel pump. For the Corvette it was a rear hub and a gas pedal. As long as I had the parts on hand I never needed them at a race.

Looks like we are going to try and get some dyno time before the race, that will be our only chance to beat it up and see if the problem returns.

It will also be good to know if this Camcon unit is tuned safe, or if we should just leave it off. A better ECU setup will come later.

Wife pulled off second in breed at Westminster. Good, but not what she wanted.

So, would this mean that you will pitch all the used parts you've pulled? If so, I'm happy to pay shipping to get them from you.

You would first have to find the place.

When we picked up the Yaris, at a different location, we were sure we had the wrong place. You could walk right up to the door of some of these places and not even know you are there, just looks like any old warehouse with an empty parking lot. Sneaky.

cali yaris · 02-18-2010, 01:05 AM

they sure do, and Rado's World Racing is right there too.

Nice transformation so far! Coming along nicely

Maybe I will bring it to one of the El Toro events, much closer to home, and a way better site than Fontucky.

I can post and do my job from my desk.

Leaving to pick up, box and ship parts is not part of my daily routine.

Fenders are done, looks funny with a 205-50-15 under there.

good thing it has the "tow" decal cus i thought that was just a bumper belly ring

SilverBack · 02-22-2010, 12:13 AM

I kinda like the fender flares, but are they necessary with only 205/50's?

Also, are those Rota Flights installed?

Those tires were for our test day, took them off the ITA Miata we built a few years back, for now they just hold the car up. We will race on a 23-9.5-15 bias slick (which is 10.4" wide).

No, those are Motegi Traklites.

cali yaris · 02-22-2010, 02:17 AM

any shots of the install? I'd like to see how much fender you cut away under there.

In the rear I cut away about .75", and nearly 2" in the front. The rear flares are at the same height as the OE fender, while the fronts are up .5" for extra compression travel.
