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

Put on the Winter wheels and installed the OEM Strut tower bar

Went for an autumnal blast via the B roads in the Kent countryside to my local lake to stretch mine and the GR’s legs and get some fresh air. Instant mood lifter 😊

I've been toying with the trd front lip for some time...this looks perfect from the angle in the picture.
Did you fit it yourself? If so is it plug and play or does it require drilling?
 
Changed to winters too.

And in a first for me, I actually could be arsed cleaning the wheels that came off. Ceramic’d them too. Even the inside!

Cup 2s were on for about 4k km and still have life left in them too so will be good for at least the first part of next summer. Nice.

I didn’t fit it myself but it does require drilling for the side pieces. You probably could 3M it in place but even at standard ride height it does occasionally catch so you want it to stay attached. It’s a very sturdy and well made piece that changes the front end a lot and is my favourite mod tbh.
 
Ordered a new OEM RH Engine mount, LH Engine (uprated superseded part number) Mount and new Torque mount from Amayama. After many heat cycles and dailying my Yaris they feel tired and soft. Way cheaper than buying from Toyota here in Estonia.
 
I ordered through Buyee, I let's see how it goes!
I am usually use SuperBuy for items out of TaoBao China, so hopefully it will be a similar experience.

Nothing exciting but a subtle colour change after the same setup for 4.5 years. Before…

Also went for a decent lunchtime drive yesterday, there was a road closure so it was really quiet and was able to go a little bit quicker than usual. Think it’s made me remember why I bought my car and tracked ships for months, refreshing the build tracker etc and it’s cemented its place in the garage. The excitement has obv settled down and I don’t go on here nearly as much now, suspect others are the same, but still so glad I have one and know I’d regret selling it for something else. Anything in future will just have to be an addition rather than a swap.
