    GR Yaris Caster through anti-lift kits

    @Sekred, @LittleMav & anyone else with the Powrerflex ones, what's the maximum caster you could get? I brought the car to a racing outfit with stock bushes & caster at 5º24' & 5º37'. Once they installed the Powerflex caster kit, they printed a settings report showing caster figures lower than...

    GR Yaris Caster through anti-lift kits

    Ticking feels as if I'm over-stretching something the closer I get to full lock. This doesn't suggest loose bolts to me, but, I guess always worth checking.

    GR Yaris Mk1 & Mk2 clutches interchangeable?

    A fair point was raised on the other side about whether the Mk1 clutch & Mk2 clutch are interchangeable. Part numbers mentioned on here. Would anyone know if this is essentially a case of a direct replacement between the two? @Armijs, perhaps? 🙏

    All models Why is 9 out of 10 a fail for servicing?

    By the manufacturer?! You have had questionnaires issued to you by Toyota Japan?! Is that a follow up on an existing case / complaint or sth?

    GR Yaris Caster through anti-lift kits

    So, I've been having slight clicking / ticking noises when turning the wheel while stationary or at very slow speeds. I guess it happens at all speeds but these aren't loud noises, so I can't hear it unless everything else is quiet. Hearing thes noises for the first time probably coincided...

    For this and any 4-wheel drive car, I would prefer same tyres front & rear.

    The expert advice I received was to have bad quality winter tyres on. Please feel free to share details of the place and how to join for a few sessions. Asking for a friend :-)

    GR Yaris Alignment, Camber and handling related talks

    Thanks for sharing. The left-right camber difference suggests to me a pattern rather than coincidence. If you're deliberately going for circa half a degree more camber on the driver side, is there a compelling reason for that? Also, are these for a lowered car? Would you tone anything down...

    GR Yaris Alignment, Camber and handling related talks

    Regarding positioning tabs correctly Powerflex offer 🔗instructions and, if you got two tab washers, I understand these should be fitted on opposing sides. I believe caster is not adjustable on this car unless you use aftermarket solutions like caster kits or top mounts that offer this. If you...

    GR Yaris GR Yaris and issues with Brake hoses

    So, irrespective of this advice and even GRYs, when are brake hoses due for replacement, generally? I'm asking about cars driven on the road, with stock brakes and fluid. Also, my question is about replacing OEM with new OEM rubber hoses, not upgrading to braided lines. Service schedules...

    GR Yaris Hello there

    Very glad to hear! Bear in mind that, after the swap, your geo settings may no longer be what you set them to last time. I think an alignment, or at least check, is advisable after such jobs.

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

    For example, think energetic start with almost full lock. Or lift-off oversteer. All at lower speeds. The problem isn't the car's tendency to rotate/oversteer that many wish or actively set it up for. It's the instant hop-like movement of the rear that can catch you by surprise, as the car...

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

    I've had similar thoughts about my ability to handle the GRY's on-limit antics. So, it might be that I am getting older too, but chances are, this is more of a characteristic of the car. Experts have said that this car is very flattering, ie makes us appear to be better drivers than we...

    GR Yaris Hello there

    I can't find a Ravenol DXG 0w20 product. Did you go for DFE 0W-20 or did you deviate from Toyota recommendations and opted for eg 5W-30 or something?
