Nice... Good info to know. I will have to throw mine on a dyno maybe sometime next year. I have a CamCom II but it isn't tuned yet. I can't find anyone near me I really trust...

This is probably going to be the last year of the yaris.. I just acquired a 240sx S14 shell and will be collecting parts for it this year.

I will be going to Dixie Championship Tour next month for SCCA Autocross. If I manage a podium position (1st, 2nd, 3rd), I will go to the National Championship at Lincoln, NE in September. If I can get a podium position there, I will continue with the Yaris in STF.

If I lose at Dixie or National, whichever comes first, I will revert the yaris back to stock and start putting my money into the S14 in SM class and just have fun with it.

I love my yaris, and it is fun, but in the back of my mind, I have always just looked at it with a sad thought... it just doesn't have that fast car look... Sits too high, headlights are too large, the wheels are too small for its body... Yes, all these things can change with some money but it will take away from the performance of the car and competitiveness.

With that said, I will still keep it but will only be my work commute car. I will still be around to give advice and poke fun at others.

I'm doing exactly the same as you. Bought a Honda eg8 and now have more money in parts than the $1300 purchase price. First event this season is tomorrow I'll see how she runs.

The Yaris never left stock so I daily it and use it as a parts car lol. It's 10/10 good at that job. With good tires the limit of grip is much higher than legal speeds limit. Definitely needs more power though

New proposal for the Hot Hatches Class. Making an STH class with all 4 seat boosted cars 2.5L or less in one class.. all the other STF cars moving to STS or STX... There goes the the competition for the Yaris in ST... At least the LSD would be legal... haha

What are your opinions?
