I really think everyone has the wrong idea of a Yaris (and a lot of Japanese cars). I give Garm a lot of credit for what he did but, a Yaris with 120whp can out handle a lot of things on a track. The car is meant for windy roads not going fast down a straight. If that's your goal go buy a new 2010 Camaro v6 for 23k or a used v8 mustang and call it a day.

Hey, where did the O.P. go??
This looks like a pissing contest btw racers and ricers. My opinions are similar to those that race. I purchase all my cars with the intention of racing them. My yaris was mostly for the great fuel economy though, but i still have the itch. I am a firm believer that you could spend $4k to make a car fast, or $4k to make the driver fast. After that, the fast driver would have gotten more out of his investment that the one who put parts. But we are sidestepping the point of this thread. Which is making a yaris "real fast...". So my gatherings are that most of you like to build drag power, or atleast that's what the O.P. wanted. I've set and broken enough goals at the 1320. You can't have both auto-x car and 1/4mi beast. So now i build and race solo cars (well we have no track since 2006). |

we are talking about a economy car with a $12-15k price tag
92-95 Civics were around the same price new & the are the most modified & fastest FWD around. |

YARIS2010RS: I simply stated there is a rating of 168 HP on the block This is not true, please stop saying this. You cant prove this statement. No one can. This is speculation, no one know the limits of the 1NZ.

okay, so i have been trying to find my source for the block rating and have so far been unsuccessful. i read it online from a toyota nut but i have no idea what the site was. as for my clame on the regal, i was also wrong, lol, it currently has 430HP and the block and set up is rated to just over 700HP (and what was said before, it is an aftermarket set up) i do stand by my clame that without rebuilding and reinforcing the internal engine components, it will blow. if you can manage to get your stock 1.5l to over 200HP without new parts, i wouldn't trust it. the way i drive with the stock 106HP, if i had anywhere close too 200HP, with the style and design of the car, yes, i would crash on the moon. as has been stated before, i also disagree with making a yaris a strip car(same with civics for that matter) a track car would be much more logical for the yaris if you were to race it. if i ever find the website again, i will post it. but as i have no supporting proof i have to take a bow. and cdydjded, for the record, pistons, rods & a AEM FIC or Emanage count as engine mods. my entire posts were based for external engine mod (no internal components changed) the car will not run over 200 HP, if you replace all the innerworkings of the engine i never see the block failing.
But till i get a hold of that website, i take a bow on the argument of the block rating being 168HP

you are talking about world wide stuff. Stuff that meant little in the USA.
All the earliest import drag races were on the street. When they finally got a little popular and some respect, then they went legal. But almost all of the earliest import racers in the USA were street racers. And they all chose the civic. The import tuner crowd gave honda the money they needed to make themselves a decent car company in the us. They might've had a world wide name, but that means nothing here. Now you can say you dislike street racing, or that it does nothing, but that simply shows a lack of understanding of how organized it can be. You also show a disliking for drag racing. Hate it or not, it is how the import tuning thing took flight in the usa. You cannot argue that drag racing is not a legitimate sport. Time Attacks are completely different beasts. It would be cool to see a Yaris or two there. Man, if only i had the cash...

Never said I hated drag racing. I hit up the dragstrip myself, although it is not nearly as fun as the twisties.. Streetracing is just plain stupid. Organized? 3 beeps and punching the gas isnt organization.
I was huge into the streetracing scene in 2000=2001 and will never go back, heck most the cars that are fast won't even pass a tech inspection. I started here in the D.C. area, and then raced at Rankin Road, one of the most famous streetracing spots in the midwest. I did the streetracing thing there in Houston while I attended school (UTI). All I had was a Maxima with a 100 shot and I beat most the street cars there. It pissed a group off one night because I beat every car except one (Trans Am with 150 shot). If people think you are hiding or lying about the mods on your car it tends to stir things up, espescially when you race for $$$. I ended up getting car-jacked by gunpoint by a competitor... yeah real organized like you say. A month later I found one of the guys that jacked me in the crowd as I rolled through the races with intention on finding them. I found them, but couldnt do squat because if you throw a punch or pull out a knife or gun there... it doesnt matter why, everyone jumps you. I ended my streetracing days in 2003 in Southern California after racing a car showcased by a local performance shop, I beat it. I finally realized that streetracing was stupid and there is NOTHING to be gained from it. You will never exceed being a streetracer. Sponsers don't aproach streetracers, they don't want to be asociated with that. When I went legit and started dragracing, then went to autocrosses, then time attacks, good things happened. I work where I work because of it, and got sponsered because of it. I never had to pay for one entrance fee or hotel expense for racing in 2007-2008. Streetracing is for thugs and racer wanna bees. http://videos.streetfire.net/video/S...racing_748.htm here is a clip of Rankin Rd. Look how "organized "it is, people inches from cars doing 100mph, guys runs right in front of cars. I even witnessed a near fatal accident as some fool in a s10 was showboating his haudralics and decided to pull right into oncoming racers. look how organized it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bQ7A3Errqso I dont know any car manufacture who wants to be tied to that. I can understand your point of view, a young person tends to focus on what is cool and what is in the video games, and Fast and Furious. If that helps sell Civics than cool. I have no doubt that it helped. So now you see, I understand streetracing, more than you. I have been there and done that. Maybe you can understand where I am coming from now. I have been racing around the country, illegally and legally. So im pretty sure I understand what Im talking about, it seemed like you called me out for not having experience in the streetracing scene... so there you go my lil 1.5 buddy.
