^^^

Does TRD makes dogbones for the Yaris? I know they had the other mounts.

Pictures please!!

First time to the track I missed second 4 times out of 12 or so runs. My theory is that the engine was bucking around too much and throwing the linkage out of alignment. After installing the damper I got from Garm I only missed second once in 12 runs. Not bad on a stock clutch.

So yeah, the torque damper does help, both with getting power to the ground and keeping your cables where they ought to be.

@Castrex:

TRD Rollstopper:

TRD motor mounts:

I have various other TRD bushings I also received for the Yaris.

Tamago · 07-08-2009, 07:02 PM

that's a gorgeous part Garm. i find it sad that "TRD" went to all the effort but didn't do urethane inserts though :(

YarisSedan · 07-08-2009, 07:11 PM

hmmmm i want these ic ant stand how much engine movement our cars have. I thought i had a broken motor mount and had another tech in my shop check while i pushed on the gas witht he foot on the brake. but no our engines just have that much excessive movement because of the crappy mounts.

it's the dogbone mount that's the problem. an "engine dampener" is a band-aid IMO

yeah but a quick and easy bandaid that looks cool under the hood. Priced about the same as replacing the dogbone mount.

I would consider changing the dogbone but one that is not too sollid. Kinda a middle ground.

ahhh

yes. the reason it's purchased most of the time any. car show points lol.

I just picked up a TRD dogbone from Garm!!

Is cheaper than the urethane beatrush one and I hope it will provide a mild improvement over the stock bone...

I've read reviews about the full urethane one and accoridng to a couple of people it was a bit to hardcore for every day use.

cali yaris · 07-09-2009, 07:38 PM

I'm putting one in my car too. More ordered and on the way -- I intend to stock a bunch of TRD mounts and bushings.

YarisSedan · 07-09-2009, 10:37 PM

I see you're smoking a tiburon in the photo. Did you actually beat it down the track?

The new "no horsepower" mods won't help make it faster only smoother but Im still interested what you end up running.

Your shifting is only as fast as your clutch engagement, the short shifter won't speed you up! trust me

i gained .4 seconds by adding tires, control arms, and a lightweight driveshaft to my camaro...so dont tell me that a 'no HP mod' wont take time off your quarter.
