Hagerty's Randy Pobst Recently took a GR Yaris around streets of Willow for a lap, and the 1:28.34 that he clocked in wasn't too far off from my old personal best on the same configuration. so now that my Yaris has a 1.5-way LSD from Cusco, i figured I'd see if I can match Randy's time, it sounds like a tall order I know, but it's actually a closer match up than you might think.
so how close does my track Yaris get to the one that the US has been lusting after for 2 years? And how am I as a driver compared to SCCA hall of famer Randy Pobst?

I don't care what anyone says, the Yaris (regular) is a potential beast. I had one same color as this one. It went through a few different suspension setups but mostly it was settled on Tein springs, TRD struts/shocks, and an UR 23mm rear sway bar. I remember some 10 years ago or so there was a guy out in California that ran a small business importing performance parts specifically for the Yaris and other similar cars. Some of them were even parts that Vitz (global name for the Yaris hatchback) Cup racers used on their vehicles. The owners car had a supercharger on his Yaris and it was some 400hp I believe it was, it was crazy for sure. I sure miss the one I had (lasted nearly 300,000 miles!) and had some great memories with it. Thanks for sharing this video and your car with us!

@kotarojujo2737 Год назад

Actually vitz were only nameplate for Japanese market. Rest of thr world its either yaris or some are vios (for sedan version).

@jonathanarmstrong1385 9 месяцев назад

Do you still know of any of these companies or parts

@Deetroiter 9 месяцев назад

@@jonathanarmstrong1385 I wish I knew! The small business I mentioned was called “Micro Image” and the owners name was Garm. I think shouldn’t be too difficult to search and get in contact with him, he might be able to point you in the right direction.

I have the 2020 Yaris and stock it handles like a Porsche. Probably won’t bother with forced induction but the potential is definitely there. Plan to upgrade to a GR Corolla or supra in a few years.

@Deetroiter 6 месяцев назад

@@AstroZombie1 if the 2020 uses the 1nz fe engine still, I do remember there was a supercharger kit for the Yaris and its engine. It added ‘only’ 100hp or so if I recall, but that’s literally double the power and it was pretty much bolt on from what I remember. All that was needed to be done was a line routed for cooling.

I have a GR Yaris Circuit pack here in the UK. It is a great little car, but having watched this, it shows how much fun can be had for a fraction of the cost. Keep at it, and beat the GR time!!

6:58 - R888Rs are likely not faster than an RT6660. The compound is super old and helps them earn the name "R not greats."

@mattvang3439 2 месяца назад

Tired of people hyping up r888’s. Shit tire. High wear rate, low grip.

Yes sir. The old prop was attached to the battery tray so when I relocated my battery, I lost my hood prop

We've seen a few. They are usually owned and registered in Mexico, and drive up for track days or events. It's totally legal to drive one through the US, you just can't own one here.

@@RassoolRacing thank god! So it's a mexican GR Yaris being driven California? Is it allowed?

@RassoolRacing Год назад

@@GAURAVKRRAFT yep. I don't know quite how long they are allowed to stay and who would actually police that, but I've seen Hiluxes, Jimnys, and a few other non US cars come up from the border.

@stevenhinkle6957 7 дней назад

The Toyota Echo ( Mk1 Yaris ) is 260 lbs lighter than the gen 2 Yaris ( one in vid ) with the same drivetrain ! I'm surprised people don't commonly race mod those for some reason.

@petergrundling698 Год назад

After seeing the other Video i was wondering what a Curciut Edition GR Yaris on Semis would do. Btw skip the R888R, they are not good. Try the AR1

@dariosantos9445 Год назад

A set of JUN Auto high lift cams would do WONDERS for that little car (if you're allowed to do it for the class you race in)

@galkawarrior Год назад

Congratulations on beating your personal best... BTW... are you really on 205 not 225??? Get that exhaust manifold installed somehow, and add the Prius C 13.4:1 compression pistons should give you more hersper. There's also the JUN cams out there. Also, are you interested in doing a rear disc brake conversion? I did a 275mm front rotor upgrade from a 2012+ Yaris SE and rear disc brakes by fabricating an adaptor plate, and my Yaris stopping power is now AMAZZZZIIINNNGGGG! Even without ABS.

@RassoolRacing Год назад

Yeah. I went down to 205 RT660s on my 15x8 wheels for more sidewall support. My 225 Rs4s were worn out and I got these rt660s in a trade. I'm definitely looking at the JUN cams and the disk breaks. I don't know if I'd ever do the pistons though, cus a 2zr swap seems like less work to me 😁

@galkawarrior Год назад

@@RassoolRacing I’m actually thinking of Frankensteining a 2ZR head with a 3ZR bottom (to eliminate valvematic) and Prius 13.4:1 compression pistons. 😬

@connorbabcock7718 Год назад

Do you have any info on the brake swap stuff? I tow with my Yaris for work and wouldn’t mind a little more stopping power lol

@ikelaiho Год назад

My dream is to do something like this with a Toyota matrix, take out all the interior and fuel tank, put in racing seats, improve rigidity and add a roll cage, replace the black glass with some hard transparent plastic do a minor tune or turbo. May need an LSD and beautiful wide body kit and more rubber.

@WeaponsRemorse Год назад

Get a custom intake manifold as well

@onehorsepower 10 месяцев назад

Tyres. The GR Yaris on proper tyres, and with LSD's front and rear, both of which were missing here, should be very close to the GR Corolla. And suddenly things make sense again.

Could a 1.8L 1ZZ-FE big block conversation from a Corolla be on the horizon?

@RassoolRacing Год назад

No. The 1zz would need custom mounts to fit. At the point you might as well do the 2zz and get more power. You might be thinking of the 1.8L 2ZR. That's a direct drop in for this platform.

but tires sir and u know tires lead to lap times

@jeanblue8424 Год назад

The whole premise of you video is wrong. That wasn't a GR Yaris. That was the poverty spec GR Yaris which is slower than the new WRX around a track. If you were trying to match a real GR Yaris you would be destroyed. Haggerty did the real GR Yaris a massive disservice with their video. On a short track the pov spec is almost 2.5 seconds slower carexpert.com.au/lap-times

@RassoolRacing Год назад

I'd argue that this video threw into sharp relief how much the base spec GR Yaris is not the hero everyone imagines when they think of the GR. I too felt like Hagerty did the GR Yaris a little dirty in their video, but I was trying to be a little more diplomatic in my presentation.

@binskee677 Год назад

I thought the same watching the Hagerty video, it’s just so stupid to compare a very very base Yaris to a Morizo edition corolla with track tires and no rear seats etc. wonder they didn’t use the GR Sport model of the yaris 😂 the Morizo had to be compared to a GRMN or at least a Circuit Pack Yaris with Track”able” tires and both would have beaten the Morizo edition Corolla.

@Crownleyian Год назад

@@RassoolRacingndeed mate the standard GR Yaris (without LSD and rubbish Dunlop’s tyres) is even slower around a track than a Hyundai i20N. Great lap time mate and congrats on your PB, huge respect mate! 🤘🏼
