This is an interesting topic to me as well as I've spoken to a Workshop near the Nürburgring Nordschleife that has become quite specialised in GR Yarises and they very warmly recommended ARBs as a mod to me, even taking into consideration my described usage profile which is mostly Roadtrips on...

I'm not putting into question the efficiency of the red snorkel. I wouldn't even have looked into it if I believed that there was no sense in getting it. I just think that it's one of those GR Parts that are effective as margin drivers as I can't imagine this piece costing Toyota more than like...

I've been running the Cusco mount for a while now. Compared to the Hardrace one I was running before it's borderline comfortable haha. The increase in NVH over stock is pretty massive though (specifically at idle, not at speed in the right rpm range - at 3k RPM on a highway it's basically the...

Thanks, that must be it! The price is incomprehensebly much much steeper though. We're talking 10x vs the black snorkel. They'll be making a solid margin here. I can't imagine this piece being 10x more expensive to produce..

Interesting and good to know, I wonder why they might have changed it back or if the newest iteration of it is simply black now. I'll try to gather more information on this matter and depending on what I find I might get back to you about that snorkel.

I was looking at getting the red GR intake Snorkel for my 2020 GR Yaris and was looking up part numbers when I noticed that the P/N for the Intake Snorkel seems to be the same between Pre-Facelift and Facelift GR Yarises. Does this imply that ordering the 17751-18010 Intake snorkel would...

Yeah that would be good to know as a possible future upgrade path

Did you get it done in Austria? I don't think Toyota in Germany wants to offer it given that they reserved this "remap package" for their own limited edition car.. From what I gather getting it done somehwere else by another subsidiary of Toyota Europa shouldn't affect the Warranty...

From what I understand the strut towers are different between Gen 1 and Gen 2 Yarises. On the Gen 2 the Damper is mounted using three screws as opposed to one in the middle. On a Gen 1 there are mounting points for a strut brace that are easily visible and the strutbar seems to look like a Gen 1...

It is mentioned in the manual that you should be crossing the tyres (i.e. back left to front right etc.). You should do this every 10k KM according to Toyota. I did that, it wasn't enough to save the inner edges on my PS4S though! Mine however doesn't get used as a daily , so the drives tend...

Oh they are definitely better than the PS4S, no question about that. It's more of a competition between the Sport Contact 7 and this if I'm being honest as both are way cheaper and at the same time feel sportier than the PS4S that has gotten a bit old by now even though it was a brilliant design...

I'm now on -2,4 degrees in the front, rear I can't quite remember. The car is nice and reactive, especially when compared to the stock alignment. I haven't been able to form a full on opinion on the PZ5 yet as I haven't given them a proper shakedown. The on ramps I've taken since getting them...

On my PS4S there was a big difference in inner and outer wear with stock Alignment, had to change them what felt like prematurely because of the inner wear. After that I changed to Sport Contact 7 and a more aggressive alignment with some more camber, the wear has actually come out more even on...

How do they feel steering wise? Tyrereviews said something about the steering going a bit light near the limit. Do you feel the same thing on your Yaris? I'll have to replace my Sport Contact 7 sometime soon and have been considering giving these a spin given that the price is more or less the...

Do you havbe any experiences to share about the verkline mounts now that you've had them on your car for a few weeks longer?
