So I have met a few of you guys on Sunday at Japfest and finally got bit of time to sit down after work and finishing the Japfest video to get a post on here.

I picked up mine May 2021 after first putting a deposit down in March 2020.

I have a small YouTube channel where I try and make interesting content on the GR Yaris and virtual racing!

First mod was the plate that this thread is named after.

For me I wanted a GR04 plate and as this was seen as a homologation special I thought it would be my GTO (one of my dream cars would be a Ferrari 599 GTO)

This was me picking it up and asking for it not to be touched by the dealer! lol


Mod two was Maxton Spoiler Cap:


Mod three, Automotive Passion Arch Guards:


Mod four, Garage Whifbitz GPF Back Exhaust:


Mod Five, LED Number plate light conversion:
 
Mod Six, ITG Panel filter:


Mod Seven, Tegiwa GoPro Mount:


Mod Eight, MST Performance Intake:


Mod Nine, ThatFogLightGuy Purple Covers:


Mod Ten, Automotive Passion Carbon Front Splitter:
 
Mod Eleven, Automotive Passion Carbon Side Skirts:


Mod Twelve, Automotive Passion Gloss Black Badges:


Mod Thirteen, Automotive Passion Carbon Engine Cover:


Mod Fourteen, Carbon Key Cover. Use Code FAITHLESSEMORACING for 10% off:


Mod Fifteen, Garage Whifbitz ECU Tune to 323bhp at the fly with GPF Delete:


More to com, just working on the Japfest video as we speak and will post that when its done!
 
Welcome! Some nice mods there!

Interesting on the ecu tune video that the GPF delete reduces the temperature by 50 degrees! Glad I got mine done and will definitely help reduce rear diff overheating.

Yeah my OEM GPF was blue when it came off so it had a lot of heat in there!
 
I got to the GR Yaris up Prescott Hill Climb at the weekend and the Yaris did amazing! Saw another black GR Yaris there which I said hi too. Also gave another GR Yaris owner Malcom a ride up the hill which I think he enjoyed!

 
So I went along to Santa Pod the other day, the day after the hottest day of the year so far. Complete fail, it was wet. But ill be back in August if anyone else is interested to come along too!?

 
Another small update video. This time not on my car.

Carl brought a brand new bonnet from Toyota and decided to try some vents, we then done some rudimentary cotton aero testing. Im not an aerodynamicist but seems like good flow, only gets disturbed when going 75mph +.

 
Latest mod added to the GR the other day. A DNA Racing carbon front strut bace! Really think it finishes off the engine bay!

 
So I went back to Santa Pod last weekend, this time it wasn't rained off, but was the hottest day of the year so far. Heat soak was real issue. New intercooler needed! But had good fun, broke the Yaris, but managed to fix it and sent it again!

Really enjoyed Japanese Performance Show at the weekend and saw some nice GR Yaris goodness!

 
So it’s been a cold dark winter and Ive finally had a chance to do the first mod of 2023.

I’ve fitted the DNA Racing rear strut brace with a twist as I’ve made the boot floor fit the bar fully installed. Hope you like.

 
As some of you may have seen I worked with Tegiwa on the how to fit the Coolerworx short shifter. Go check out mine and their video and smash a like is very muchly appreacited!

Want to say a shout out to everyone who organised and put on the event. Great time and would do it again!

 
Just a small update. I tried the Toyota supplies camber bolts (with 3 dots on them) think the max you will get is -3 degrees of camber. Which is alot for a daily!

 
Good vid. But as you say - 3 is alot.... Its scrubs off some straight line speed which the yaris isn't great at anyway. - 2 good for fast Road imo.

Yeah -2 to -2.5 is enough for road. -3+ is great for track!
 
Another update! Just before Japfest i fitted the String Theory 21.5mm spacers and gave the wheels a good clean and sealant! Edfinatyl improves the way the car looks on the OEM wheels!
