    GR Yaris Hello there

    I've experienced sudden heavy steering feel on the track, usually when the car is near - or starts entering - a slide at speed. It's an intrusive, unusually heavy steering feel. I had traction control turned on (standard setting) when I felt it , I did wonder if it was just some intrusive...

    GR Yaris Japan meet up - more than 100 GRY shown off

    It's nice to see the GRY community shown off in this Japanese video (no commentary, just a soundtrack). Most models are present (including GRMN), I roughly counted more than 100 cars, most (not all) appearing modified. Good inspiration for those that want to see how other enthusiasts are...

    GR Yaris Hello there

    I would like to know how hard it was to remove the mid-pipe at the front end. Will I need a hoist?

    GR Yaris Hello there

    Was it hard to access the front end to remove from the dump pipe? I've considered replacing mine but think it will need to be up on a hoist to preserve some sanity.

    If you have a spare 30 minutes this is an entertaining and well-produced Australian video of living with a GR Yaris for 100,000 kilometers (not my car).

    GR Yaris Mounts question

    I fitted the yellow torque mount and it improved driveline/shift engagement a bit (I also have shifter cable end bushings and shifter base bushings fitted). I regularly do track days and in hindsight I wish I fitted the black torque mount insert. I fitted it on front ramps, you'll ideally...

    GR Yaris The EcuTek thread

    The Airtec thermostat opens at 80c according to their fitting instructions, so that is 'normal' operating temperature.

    GR Yaris Altocumulus's Gen1

    I had a few issues shifting on track and was looking for a solution. The car already has a torque mount insert, shifter cable bushings and shifter base bushings, all of which helped firm up the gearshift, but under hard acceleration it was sometimes a little fussy to find a gear quickly. I...

    GR Yaris Tow hooks.

    As Banzai says you'll need a dremel to open the hole to the right size, a large drill bit would be no good on the plastic. Before I cut a hole in the tow hook cover I just removed it and fitted the supplied tow hook which was fine for events. I now use the standard hook (painted) and modified...

    GR Yaris (Gen 2) GR Yaris Mk2 (MY2024->)

    Its not an uncommon thing. I'd take the pads out, inspect and lightly capmpher the edge of the material with a metal file. I use high temp copper grease on the retaining pin. You could always just report it to the dealer If under warranty. I suspect that hard use of the brakes would eventually...

    Changed my plugs on the weekend, originals had done 38k kms. Starts and idles better now, possibly smoother at light throttle.

    GR Yaris engine ECU tweaking

    Peak boost with my ecutek tune was only raised 1-2 psi, the top end gains are from not bleeding boost off as rapidly as stock. Fuel and ignition timing is also adjusted. Noticeable torque increase. https://www.gr-zoo.com/threads/the-ecutek-thread.6489/post-118173
