GR Yaris Hello there

On the second set of 235 CR-S on 8.5, exclusively "b-roads." Took them off and put PS4S back on for this exact reason. The car's a lot more fun when it slides on a second gear corner exit :)

Here in Japan, JAF regulated motorsports has now classified the CR-S as an "S" tyre, even though it's a 200TW. Running them in something like gymkhana puts the car in open class... Not fair, IMO, but it's a fast tyre.
it was quite nice. didn't do many miles with it but felt good performance tyre. Valinos give the sporty feel with less speed so they're fun for occasional road driving.
 
GR got its first MOT (its after four years of ownership here in Finland). Haven't had this good service ever so quite proud ouf our group here what we have.

Id like to install hood vents at some point on mine. Which ones did you use? Any issues with water ingress? As I understand the ECU sits right below the left opening...

I might go with Piras Motorsport Rally2 vents, but frankly the guy gives me strong conman vibes lol

I used piras rally2. They're ok quality but the stencil was not scaled correctly so needed to improvise. Its worth paying attention how you cut and where do you place stencils. But I managed ok with help of a friend.

I have no water ingress issues, though I keep car in garage. drive quite little recently. too busy with new busienss...

Not much updates recently - too busy setting up own biz so working 12-14h all day.
Participating in King Of Finland time attack event 15-16. May in Club class, fun to see where we end.
Event details

Just ordered an OPF delete kit (Scorpion) to get little bits of extra power - hope it will install nicely.

Any suggestions how to get pipe back in? Stripped already right hand thread but luckily managed to fix it. Left side goes easily but right is pita.

There is cardan heat shield that could give space for initial bolt setup but is it easy to take off? See four 10mm bolts and two 12mm one facing backward and other to passanger side.

Left side bolt i manage to get in its place with extension but right seem not to pick up. Damn!
