The car has clear PPF over the whole body, and light tinted film on the headlights and front fog lights

Yeah, I'm hoping for a course due to being a very good boy for lots of years

Reunited after a month apart, felt so good to be back in the driving seat. Nothing sinister, just left it in Wales while using the diesel for a bit, and forgot the keys last time to swap back 
Hasn’t been washed since the Sahara dust clouds a few months ago, so I gave it a rushed treat:
Looking delicious again:
Parked on a slope with the handbrake on for a month wasn’t ideal. Had to drive for a bit with the handbrake on and do a few emergency stops to clean up the brakes get rid of the brake judder.
Next job is finding a free day where the weather is good, and get the arch liners etc off and give it a new coat of lanoguard before the winter salt does its thing.

Overtook a Lamborghini (could have been a Huracan or Aventador - I couldn't tell the difference) on a wet country road (the B664 - my favourite).
He was holding up my progress.
Now I know he had a faster car than me, and that he could have gone faster if he wanted to. But I'm pretty sure he'd have struggled to keep up with me in the GRY on those roads. Too bumpy, too wet and muddy, too narrow and twisty. Two years into owning this car, and I still love driving it - what a car!

Yeah, a real shame Toyota didn’t offer a wider range of colours.
I still think the best I’ve seen is pearl white with a matt wrap, but that red is very tasty too.
Looking forward to hear how you like the antilift kit, I'm also running it.I was productive the other day, installed the whiteline anti lift kit, Hel brake hoses, camber bolts in the rear and wrapped the exhaust pipe near the rear diff
now all it needs is a proper alignment

what are your feelings with that kit? any added NVH?
Thinking of swapping to a larger oil cooler but then again not sure if that's really needed.. likely not.
Not sure if it only due to antilift kit, or the alignment done for the first time, but throttle understeer is almost completely gone and the car is less floaty im twistys. Some harshness was introduced, but no game breaker. Personally one of my fav mods, gave more confidence in front.
I'm running Setrab 210mm 16 row. In hot summers (35-40c) peaked barely above 125c on a slow 20km hillclimb. How come you need a bigger one in Finland?

Yeah, I have to say I still love it. Always thought they should have offered the red equivalent of pure white. Starting to get whiter and whiter at the front from stone chips though!

I have the short series1 25 row, so its not ideal for hot days. Track can get to 35-40'C on hot days here, although luckily its not that common.
thought series6 25row would be more efficient but then again it not really big issue - tires fall off usually in one lap and didn't see oil temps going much above 120'C so maybe just over-engineering..
anti lift kit sounds like its working then.

Is there much difference in quality and price of the wrap tape, or is it all similar?
No idea what other options there are but this stuff is wrapped dripping wet and then dries. Use stainless ties after it dries and shrinks. Just be sure to wrap from back to front so you have the overlap facing the rear not front where grass and 'stuff' can get caught.
Any aftermath on the exhaust?
Washed it after too long, but outside only, mainly so I could finally put a special sticker on.
I don't usually like stickers, but Breen was an incredible person and an awesome driver who died in my country on exactly 1st anniversary or my GR Yaris - 13.4.2023.
He deserves a place on my GRY!
Btw, went on scales the other day. With 15% fuel and double set of front carpets, car was only 1270kg! Thought my adding of mods would make it heavier, but seems parts I replaced are lighter.
