Best Mods for a FWD Track Car 

I agree with everything on this list, one thing i think is more important than the exhaust would be brake pads in my opinion, but then again machine communication with the driver from the exhaust is important too! ah hell, before you know it you are already 10k into your race car lol

You can actually get a type of knock sensor that uses the sound of your engine, but what’s really neat is that knock sensor just works from a microphone and you could just wire a pair of headphones into your helmet with it with like an earbud.

I got 205/40r17 semis in my yaris. Pretty good value for money. Only +300€ delivered to my doorstep. Maxtrek maximus ds01 😁 and they are 160tw. Changed the car alot. 🤘 Brakehoses are next to my list and more laps on track 🤩 and i got inspiration from your videos 👍

This is gonna be relevant to my immediate future. About to buy and hopefully build a '98 Volvo V70. Haven't had a FWD in ages.

That's a good mod list for a track Yaris. Good tires are a must. Im looking forward to more cool videos in 2024! I'd like to share with everybody my mod list because you all are the only people I know who would care to talk about a Toyota Yaris. 1) Tires on my track rims are 195/55/15 on Toyo Extensa 2, 15x8 and zero offset. For my daily driving rims my Yaris has Mini Cooper R81 wheels, the rubber is Accelera Phi-R 205/55/15. 2) Suspension I have TEIN Hspec lowering springs. They provide the perfect blend of smooth ride daily and handles great on curvy turns. Stock Struts. 3) The rear sway bar was instantly a noticeable improvement. I went with the TRD rear sway bar. Very simple to install also. 4) I need to listen to the engine, and rpms. and the stock catback is very quiet. I went with the TRD cat back because of OEM fit and will make sound but not over board. Altho, I dont like the tip that was used. 5) I recently had my ecu tuned by FTG Tuning/Chris Taylor Racing. WOW! Very peppy and is a bit quicker off the line. But will never be fast. The rpms now go to 7500 rpms, VVTi engages at 3500 rpms and the air to fuel ratio was fixed. No more bogging down on take off.

Just subbed and already digging the content! I’ve always been into nugget cars and odd balls. Keep it up! Looking forward to watching more Yaris vids.

I got a build similar to this, 2002 honda civic tho but pure fwd track purpose, many tires, SCCA style type build, grassroots. alot of people mistake it for a “instagram or tiktok build” but i track it all the time , just shows you some folks don’t really know some purpose of some cars.

I need an LSD and WK short shifter.... I am nearly caught up to you in mods!!!! 2008 Yaris S!!!! I'll see you at the track this spring!!! Once you do the motor I will be right behind you! I live in Northern CA so we use the same tracks ;-)

I think that the most important things in this order are: 1 - Coilovers 2 - geometry adjustability (Camber, toe and caster) 3 - Swaybars 4 - tyres 5 - shifter 6 - LSD 7 - exhaust, intake, tuning... In my opinion it is always better to have a better and more predictable chasis and then work your way into other things

Interesting build! I'd love to see you do a collab against Donut's EG

When you said the tire size in the 205-75r14 format i was plesently surprised. My first car was the yaris coupe i love these little yotas

I have the same 07 yaris hatch , All stock , The shifter the linkage everything , Feels like jogging with a box of legos under your arm,

Bucket seat and some multipoint (6-7 points at least) safety harness is a must, IMHO

I would argue that brakes are more important than the notchy shifter

#1 mod for my '07 Yaris? A cluster that actually includes a friggin tachometer 🙄

exhaust is cool and your explanation is logical but no mention of a rear sway bar??

Waiting for engine update!!!

what about the braking? pads and fluids is a must, otherwise you'll be meeting either grass or wall in a heavy braking zone in the afternoon session

Where can I buy the wk short shifter really instead to get one for my Yaris

Anyone know where I could get an exhaust for my 2013 Toyota Yaris because I've been searching for a while and I can't find anywhere that has it

Brakes?

what final drive do you have and may i have the link to where you bought it? 😊

Swaybars?? Specially in the rear.
