Keeping up with a Mini - Toyota Yaris Forums

You can get a decent set of coilovers for around $1,000

Some cheap lightweight 15" wheels $500- $800

Some sticky rubber $400-$500

TRD rear sway bar $150

Camber Bolts $ 30

Some weight reduction. $0

Total: $2000-$2400

That should be enough to outrun a STOCK mini or Miata on the twisties.

Power wise

For 140 HP you are looking at force induction only. $3800 for blitz SC or go the custom route with a turbo set up which will be more than the blitz....

the 140hp matters a lot if he's talking about crank or wheel hp. the 123whp that richard holdener is putting now, all motor, is just over 140bhp...
