    GR Yaris Quest for 400bhp - advice needed

    There's a shop here in Sydney, Tunehouse, that is highly regarded so I looked up what they can do with the GRY without changing the turbo - this isn't based off specific advice, though I assume they've worked on a number of Yarises: Tunehouse GRY breakdown here THR Spec Port Injectors 1100cc...

    Basic Track Info

    Thanks gents, appreciate your input. Didn't realise this part of the forum existed, as I was looking in the GRY section thinking track discussions would be more relevant based on model lol Cheers Mike, can I ask how you would go about cooling them down? I think in between runs (wouldn't say...

    Basic Track Info

    Hello friends I've been perusing our forum for info on the basics of starting to learn track driving, but I couldn't find anything. Do feel free to point me in the right direction, but if not, I was hoping to grab some insights & wisdom from the sages here :) I bought a GRY a few weeks ago and...

    GR Yaris EXCITED for GRY

    Thanks for your insights my brother. I will try just that soon and see how the Yaris likes corners at higher speeds compared to the MX5. Will report back!

    GR Yaris EXCITED for GRY

    Hello friends, Satisfied owner of a 2020 GRY :) I have not yet had a chance to properly take it out for a spin, will try to do that tomorrow afternoon on some windy roads. My preliminary thoughts are that the Yaris isn't actually as fun on the roads as the MX5 (which is a genuine roadster)...

    GR Yaris EXCITED for GRY

    Cheers brother, and I agree I appreciate my taste as well đŸ˜› Thank you all for the input, I'll check for weird vibrations etc through the clutch pedal, but I suspect this early on it may be hard to catch, especially if the owner didn't drive it that hard

    GR Yaris EXCITED for GRY

    Friends, Fingers crossed I'm putting a deposit down on a GRY this weekend :) Could I ask what your experience was re: issues in the GRY's first few years of life? I'm trying to be conscious of what I should be on the look out for with the Yaris This is a 2020 white model with just under 30k...

    HELLO FROM SYDNEY

    I feel you. My MX5 I'm keeping around for this reason - the epitome of "slow car fast" - it is a very engaging and rewarding drive. I suspect the GRY won't be in this category, but I'd like to learn how to properly drive it, i.e. on the track

    HELLO FROM SYDNEY

    Yep the first gen Celicas were a little different, but the ST184 definitely did its job - you wouldn't have been disappointed. Had considered an ST205 for my purposes now, but I just think GRY will serve me better The M2s look great - had they been Japanese - they would have been a serious...

    HELLO FROM SYDNEY

    Yep they're a great car. Happy to say I've owned an R34 in my lifetime - however due to licensing restrictions it had to be NA. RB25DE NEO, but still not what it was designed for How does the 86 compare to the 350Z?

    HELLO FROM SYDNEY

    Guten Tag The GR86 must be quite fun, I have an MX5 myself and have driven a BRZ so I understand the roadster dynamics. I think you'd enjoy the Yaris The Celica was a lovely car. Here in Australia we only got the 5S-FE which is a Camry engine, but I still have very fond memories of the car...

    HELLO FROM SYDNEY

    HELLO THERE Just signed up as I'm currently in the market (in Australia) for a GR Yaris :) I've been a Toyota fanboy my whole life - my first car - in my profile pic - was the beautiful ST184. Have had some other JDMs since then. Had always dreamed of the Mark 4 Supra, but I've moved on from...
