No more understeer and the LSD actually did it's job much better, with less camber needed!!

agreed. I got the 23mm bar also, It does improve understeer alot and that's with no camber adjustments. Right now I am very comfortable with the way it handles and consistantly getting top 10 pax out of 70 drivers. I am still debating on removing the front sway bar... I did some more neg camber in the front, feels great on the street, turns alot more sharper, will know how it handles this weekend at the event.

RacerB, I know you mentioned this before in the autocross threads, but were you planning to stay in HS or go to STF.. or are you doing NASA events, which are totally different?

Sorry to get off topic OP, looks great. What are your future plans with this car?

Right now the current plan is to prep the Yaris for HS with the local SCCA group (only auto-x game in town) and to continue building the PTE road race Celica for NASA. With my work commitments this year, haven't had much time for any Club activities, will be at CMS July 7th with NASA.

Closet car I can think of that I've raced to the Yaris, was my '74 Civic 1200, short wheelbase, FWD, and slightly tall for it's length. But we made that car work even with limited after market at the time and was one kick-ass little race car.

Kinda sounds like it, but the Yaris can get out of it's own way, even stock!!

My mechanic just installed my TRD Sway-Bar and I LOVE IT!!! I took a little drive over to an area here in Irving with lots of curvy streets and zero traffic, turned my Radar Detector on and let it rip! Man, what a difference in handling!!! A TRD Swaybar is the best spent money on additions to my Yaris I've made! Definately a Winner!
