I appreciate the input all. I am surprised at how well the Yaris can handle with a handful of mods. I have put a fair amount of $ into it but for an econo box with no "sports" option it is surprising. I'm sure the light weight has something to do with it - my car weighs just over 2600 lbs (as per a scale at a metal scrappers).
I do agree with Mugen's above post regarding a civic with K-series engine being a great option. I'd love a high (8.5k) reving engine with just under 200hp as I prefer all engine set ups. Problem is I find the newer civic way too large and heavy of a car and the older ones (<2002) just don't have the sleekness that a modified Yaris has. I care about function>form but I am very particular about how my car looks and always want it to be classy. A civic doesn't fit that bill for me, but that engine though... ![]() Once I get a hold of a long tube header I should hopefully be sitting around 145 whp based off of Armstrong's dyno paired with the fact that I have the MWR flywheel. IMO 145whp in this car with an eventual LSD and UHP tires should be a super fun set up. Since rims and rubber are relatively inexpensive on this car, purchasing a track wheel set up will be possible in the future as well.
