A shot into the dark. possable yaris rear suspension

[goldenvtr]

Anyone looked into swapping the rear subframe/axel to end to have indipendent suspension?

Yaris doesn't have IRS. The springs and shocks are seperate items. The rear suspension is like that of the AE86. The only small Toyota with IRS is the diesel Auris.

ah, fair enough then. It maybe too much work really and might no pay off, i think starlets work good on a track but can be a bit cheeky with the rear grip just wondering if it had been conciderd before

Some Australian guy, and a guy here in Jamaica successfully adapted the rear suspenion of the Daihatsu Charade GTi, which is the same chassis stamp, to the EP82.

This model Charade was designed by Toyota and is based on the EP floorplan. Its has IRS. They are very rare here. They figured this out when someone dropped a 4EFTE into it with no problem. I figured it out because the cars look so much alike.

there was some talk of using an AE92's IRS but I don't recall them having IRS either...it's a doomed plan...I thought of this long time ago

AE92 use Pegasus IRS. Different floor and suspension dimensions. Full custom job. Do the 4WD EPs have IRS?

according to Car-directory.net it's a Trailing Link Axle with a Stabiliser... Stabiliser? Why wouldn't the normal EP Chassis have it

Yeah, a local guy with a De Tomosa called down one day to compare engine bays. It's amazingly similar. His plan was to 4EFTE the car and it looked very handy to do. I didn't look near the rear suspension - just assumed it was the same as a Starlet. :homer:

No it ain't Danno..

haha you cheated

Interesting - it's a trailing arm multilink, but it's still a liveaxle, so in essence, still a beam axle type in a manner of way

 

[goldenvtr]

Do the Ep85 have a rear ARB? looks so from those pics

Yessum. Would appear so Rik.

That black bar over the axle looks suspiciously like an antiroll bar mate.
