Yaris classing - Toyota Yaris Forums

A set of 2-way adjustable Motons could run up to $5000 with springs so they must need to win that auto-x really bad.

Honestly, this is why I like the Yaris, and the whole idea behind racing a car like the Yaris. It's cheap(relative) and not too fast to outdo my skills. I had a 91 Integra track car with a completely stock engine(130hp) and just some suspension work, R compound 14" tires and a Quaife LSD. At track days, all of the Evos and STIs would blow by me on the straights but half way into the infield sections, I would be right on their butts again. It was also amazing how few people actually utilize their brakes to the fullest. I would outbrake Evos and BMWs with my little crappy stock brakes just because they were braking too early and too softly.

thats one of the most distinctive things about a "good" racing driver, their ability to fully utilize the brakes. instructors will really work with you to really compress those braking zones.
