GR Yaris What did you do to your GR Yaris today?

On another topic, it's been almost(?) an year since Ecutek released GR Yaris software. Could some of the veteran users comment on overall experience and reliability?

Had mine done in June last year. It’s been great, absolutely flawless. Even yesterday I vaporised about half a tank of 102 RON and was again bloody impressed by the way it punts itself up the road.
 
I have postponed writing this post for a couple weeks as it is kind of embarrassing. Some of you (probably no one) may remember fart-gate™?

I had a severe fart-smell in my car and could not understand why, as I "meticulously cleaned the inside of my car on a weekly bases". Turns out I dont. After removing and checking the cabin air filter I couldt figure out what was wrong. I then perceeded to remove the carpets and it was then I saw it. A protein shake - shaker.

The smell of what Im guessing is a month old protein-shake residue was, to say the least, strong and indeed very fart-like.

After removal and tossing in the bin, the car now smells normal again. Thanks for listening to my TedTalk, my name is Sturesmyg!
 
I farted in my van and about an hour later got back in and thought what the feck is that smell, then I remembered, to be fair I'm old ,I normally don't trust farts and my sense of smell isn't the best.
I normally blame the dog.

Took Wanda for her 2nd MOT which she passed with no advisories even with a sports cat, but then I did get it nicely warmed up before the test. Took a photo in front of a local landmark to celebrate, then back home and watched some of the WRC rally Canary Islands action.

Anyone use Castrol SRF for the brakes and is it still considered best?

Did it melt the diffuser?

it seems so... Lambo style!!
Exhaust is ulter with additional support brace and exhaust is overall with stiff new powerflex sport bushes. I don't think the exhaust moves, its the rear bumper.
It might move forwards and backwards and in braking it tilts against exhaust... or something?
exhaust would move more or less sideways, but this was burning from the top.

Ordered a new set of wheels for the summer. I got the new Braid Rally2 wheels (FullRace Rally A FF) coming in white, 18x8 ET35.

Also big up to @Armijs who managed to secure my order for these as it turns out Estonian orders now have to go through a local distributor (and not direct like 2 years ago) who didn't seem to want to sell me any. Another trip south towards Latvia soon.
 
Had full blown geometry completed today, alignment and corner weighed ! Now it's a ballistic missile. So stable, turn in is sharp, rear is "as it should be" the whole set-up inspiring confidence to push her to tyre grip limits in a relaxed manner.

Replaced the tires, unfortunately longitudinal cracks appeared on the original summer tires after winter storage. I gave the removed tires to drifters for burning, they are perfect for them.
The size is standard, the tire is all-season, for my region with cool summers and driving on dirt roads I think they are suitable.
