What's your gamertag?

Here's my first attempt at a design:

Search "chalms04" in the storefront!

Having not yet seen an aftermarket lightweight hood we put the stock hood on a diet, cut 9lbs 2oz out of it. Also removed the OE hood latch assembly from the car and replaced it with AeroCatch locks.

In the description of the test video, you say it's a 2012 H-Prod car. What happened to it being a B-Spec racecar, did I miss something along the way?

We pulled the plug on our BS program right around SEMA. Toyota had no official interest in the class, and the lack of a firm rule set was also a disappointment, so we went to Prod.

Totally understandable, now that Grand-Am has come on board maybe there will be a firmed up set of rules very soon. I still have interset in the Class, but it would have to be with an early car, say '07-'08 for cost reasons. I hope it will fly, just to get back to more of the good old fashion econo-box formula.

The Celica in the second half of this video, is just like my friend Jeff's PTC car. He purchased his from TRD after it had been retired from the Pro/Celebrity races in Long Beach.

We were surprised that no one noticed that something was up with the Yaris at SEMA... The transformation was already underway to Prod, and a lot of the parts on the car and many listed on the wheel stand are not BS legal parts.

We only have the one season (that we know of) with Bestwick in the car, and we wanted to make the most of it, had we gone to BS we would still be waiting on final rules. Instead we already have three races in HP.

The more groups that adopt the class the slower the process gets, everyone has an agenda and thinks they know how to put on the best show, so it slows the process. Additionally we are already seeing manufacturers changing up BS kits, so in response the others make tweaks. Frustrating. We completely pulled a 180 on our kit, and submitted the most basic stuff we had access to. It started to seem like a waste to spend a bunch of time on R&D and to spec an expensive kit, when all the of cars are going to be slowed down so they don't run away from the Fiat.

If you have any hope of running in Grand Am I would not buy a Yaris. Toyota is not planning to buy in, which is required by GA to play, so you wont likely see the car classed over there. The Yaris will be legal in World Challenge.

Yeah, that one came from the Fast Lane racing school.

Just picked the 2012 up from MP Tuning, where an AEM EMS series 2 ecu was installed.
