More hotness... The long awaited suspension has arrived. Custom built mono-tube racing shocks. This is the same stuff that is currently being run on SCCA World Challenge cars.
With the gear change, new wheel/tire combo, engine work and suspension it should be a real eye opener at the next race.

The head is back on with the new cams installed. A few hours in the AM and it should be ready to run.

I got it as a complete unit from our engine guy... Just had to pull the cams back out to put in the head bolts.

Its alive... Sort of. Installed the head with the new cams, fired right up. Unfortunately it wont idle. I think I got one of the cams a tooth off on the timing chain. The engine builder seems to think all is well, just the stock ECU can't idle these cams.
Just to be safe I am going to pull the valve cover again and check all the timing marks before we run it hard.

Yeah, big cams make idle go to crap usually on a stock ecu. IIRC you're tuned via piggy back right? Might be time to retune with more air being sucked into the engine... but yeah, start with timing, go from there. Also, we need moar pictures!!

Just finished all the body work, no time to check the cams yet. But it looks done for our shoot. Headed here in about 12 hours: http://wikimapia.org/16838231/San-Be...rations-Center Doing a small feature for Toyota Connection magazine. This will also give me a place to break in the engine and LSD.

I am just not sure this new aero package will make the car faster.
The magic... When they are done it will look like the Yaris was going 100mph, instead of 1" a sec. Got some miles on the engine and trans.

Double checked the cam timing and everything is lined up. Our engine guy is convinced the stock ECU just cant deal with it. Fingers crossed that we get our custom harness and new engine management this weekend.

It is a great day when the UPS man brings you a package you never ordered. One of our sales guys mentions the Yaris project to one of his advertisers a few weeks ago, and they built us a set of brake pads to try.

Jason, being able to set your idle might help. I have mine at 1100, I'm not sure the stock setting would work for me either.

No, there did not seem to be enough people interested to make it worth doing. So we just went back to flares on stock fenders.

Returned the new wheels. Just going to stick with the 15"s. I wish we could have made it work with the 13"s - the wheels actually worked, it was an issue with the manufacturer that we could not get past.
