For sale is my Toyota GR Yaris Circuit Pack in Scarlet Flare.
I bought the car brand new in July 2022 from Steven Eagel Toyota. I'm selling due to lack of use thanks to a change in work last year; the car has barely moved for a few months now and I'm not the type of person to keep something this nice and not use it.
My car in more detail...
- 29,140 miles approx, mostly from motorway driving
- When I purchased the car, I had a local rally car-prep garage Lanoguard the underside of the car
- Desirable Scarlet Flare red paintwork
- It has only ever been serviced by Toyota Macclesfield who are GR-certified which means the correct oils etc will always be used
- It's always had the servicing done on time, meaning it carries the remainder of its 10 year Toyota Warranty (as long as servicing schedules are maintained, Toyota extend your warranty by one year each time)
- Recent replacement of all four tyres with the correct Michelin Pilot Sport 4S
I'd say I've tastefully modified it in the most minimal and basic manner, all of which can easily be reversed as I am including the original parts...
- The yellow front fog light covers are just stick-on items from "That Foglight Guy". Very easy to remove but I just thought they add a little visual impact to the lower front. Easily removed as I say
- Short shift kit for the Manual 6 Speed gearbox - This is an absolute game changer and the kit I've used is no longer available, but renowned as the best one you could purchase
- In Japan, the GR Yaris comes with approx 267bhp as standard, but in the UK, emissions laws mean a GPF has to be fitted. This kills both noise and restricts exhaust flow, losing around 10bhp. I've had a Cobra GPF-delete pipe supplied and fitted by Toyota Macclesfield
- ITG fitted an induction kit to the car. It doesn't produce any engine lights etc and allows the Turbo to "flutter", which is just plain fun. It's not in your face but in standard form this car is so quiet, so it's great to hear the little "chuckle" from the turbo every so often
- I fitted some mud flaps which are called "Shorties". They aren't the full on ridiculous sized ones, but instead just a shorter option which are more subtle and still effective
- GR-logo boot mat in red
- I asked Toyota Macclesfield to fit new bolts so they could set it up better in regard to steering geometry. Their "fast-road" setup if you like. The setup helps with understeer, but then it's been further refined by RaceShocks UK in Swansea who I did some work with
- I've updated the software to allow you to open and close the windows via the key fob, which is nice in summer
- The interior has been lifted by fitting a TRD Carbon inlay. The standard interior is quite matte in appearance, so this just adds a bit of gloss. It can easily be removed. I only used some of the stickers to hold it in place during installation, so it's only stuck on there in. basic manner.
- I've added a Stainless Steel footrest
- I've added a retractable armrest which adds extra storage
- The Intelligent Manual Transmission allows rev-matching and anti-stall to be performed by the car. This is more mechanically sympathetic to the clutch etc, and normally you have to press the button to activate it every time you switch on. However I have fitted a wire that clicks in (can easily be removed) to place and activates IMT every time the car is switched on
- I've added Japanese-market Cupholders to the air vents in the car which allow drinks to be easier to reach, whilst adding the convenience of cooling drinks in the summer, heating in the winter etc. They also don't impede the cupholders when there are no drinks
- I've added a Zunsport Grill protector to the front lower air dam. This helps protect the radiator etc
As I say, all original parts are included and everything is easy to put back to original condition as a result. Nothing permanent has been done to the car.
The wrap that's installed at the factory on the roof is in place and in fantastic condition, as is the interior of the car, which even has the original factory protector still in place on the driver's door card.
At 1000 miles, I had all fluids replaced. Oil, diff, gearbox etc. This is highly recommended as those first miles will produce the most debris from new components. I've since had the fluids replaced a couple of times, with the engine oil replaced multiple times due to regular servicing.
I have all the paperwork for the car (still need to photograph this). All the service history. Basically anything that's been done will have paperwork to back it up.
Two keys come with the car, as well as the bamboo key case and GR plush toy.
The car is in absolutely perfect working condition with no dashboard lights, errors or anything to be concerned about.
Due to being sat for a while, the brakes need a bit of a work out but this is totally normally and commensurate with the car having so little use for a while through winter.
Standard features include...
- ADAS System - Automatic lane-keeping adaptive cruise control allowing for hands-free driving should you wish, cruise switchable to dumb mode without assists, automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning... all the above can be easily switched off
- Height adjustable driver seat
- Reach rake steering adjust
- Digital and analogue dial setup for speedo, turbo boost, trip details etc
- Apple CarPlay/Android Auto
- DAB Radio
- Bluetooth streaming
- Bluetooth calling
- Keyless entry/start
- Auto Lights
- Auto Wipers
- Four seats with front recliners for aiding access to the rear
- LED Headlights with automatic high beam assistant
- Reversing Camera
- Automatically-retracting door mirrors
- Front and rear foglamps
- Dual Zone Climate Control to save those arguments with your passengers
- Large glovebox
- Airbags everywhere
- Auto-dimming rear view mirror
- Pull-up handbrake... less to go wrong compared to an electronic one
- 60/40 Split rear seats
Another feature are the nods and acknowledgement from car enthusiasts who are always inquisitive of the car. You'll always make friends in a GR Yaris.
