Plans for 2016 is to mod my new Honda Civic Dx 95. Should be interesting. Took it out for the first time this weekend and found out the struts are pretty blown so I have a starting point now

I do, I went yo Nats , I knew I was not going to win with the new Hondas overdogs, but I drove like sh.. not enough seat time like 2014, and I had an ABS failure as ll.
I learned though that if we don't get close to 140 hp to the wheels is a lost case with the newcomers.
So i am geting to changes on the car, realistically I can get 135-137 to the wheels, but also need to loose some weight, I can get down to 2120, no less.

As of today I have 127hp to the wheels, but not enough torque, so I am in the process of getting a new tune with Orange Virus Tuning, maybe 6-7 more HP and new headers 4-2-1 config for torque.

And yes I will go to Dixie, although I am back in Minnesota ;)

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...

Mostly he is prepared for the class and has a pretty substantial drivers mod

ArmstrongRacing · 10-26-2015, 05:17 PM

Drivers mod trumps all other mods!

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.

Ben_ · 02-21-2016, 03:26 AM

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

Ben_ · 02-21-2016, 03:27 AM

Im in stf looking at going to smf and techicly all ready am since I changed the steering rack

Puts a smile on my face knowing we are all there for the same reason and there can only be 1 winner.

Reading that and having flashbacks of when I used to go often, that put a smle on my face.

I've been out of it for far too long. Hoping to run some events this year.

ilikerice · 02-22-2016, 08:12 PM

You should, just to shake that rust off...

Ben_ · 04-17-2016, 03:16 PM

I still have the Yaris and it still runs great! Daily duity from now on I'm thinking maybe I'll put some lowering springs on it and mini emola wheels

ilikerice · 03-22-2017, 04:21 AM

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?
