Once I measured mine at 7.5 sec. Well it was a 0-60 not 0-62 but still is much better To do it I had to disable the Traction control and also removed some extra weight from the car (Rear seats) Oh... And my best 1/4 mile time was 15.85 sec |

First you got to see how heavy are the "bloody" rear seats... I took them off and ride every day without them For those fast runs I also took the spare tire, jack, tools and ran with very little fuel. Now, for the Trc Off trick... Yes this car has no Trc off bottom so I just removed the TRC/VSC fuse out. It takes 5 seconds after you find it on the fuse box. IMPORTANT...!!! By removing this fuse you will loose not only the Trc Control and the VSC but also the ABS. I would not recommend this to anyone unless you are in a control environment ( Road Track) since the behavior of the car under extreme conditions will change. By removing the fuse I was able to launch the car at higher rpm's and slip the tires a little bit without the car pushing the brakes by itself or cutting the power. To put the car back to normal, just turn off the car, install the fuse back and re-start the engine. All functions should be back. I'm currently looking for a way to install a switch within the cabin to disable these functions. |

sounds good, installing a switch should be quite easy. I have found my traction control has cut the power on me sometimes especially in wet conditions.
What im really interested in is either a supercharger or turbo for the 1.8. Have you heard of anywhere that supply these, I have searched the web but have had little success! |

OK will spare you some time...
This car has been out for a really short time... so the support so far is ALMOST zero. There are NO Bolt on turbo kits for our cars and I don't know of any company coming up with one in the short term. There is 1 supercharger wich seems really well put togehter. But has one dowside. The price is outreageos. Hopefully YARISPALME will bring back the supercharger thread. HE is the onlyone with first hand experience since he had the chance to actually drive the test car with the SC installed. The kit was designed by a shop in Swisterland. You can find the details on their site: http://www.trc-tuning.com/_frey_shop...yaris_2005.htm Here is a picture: |
