Ordered the TDR Undertray with cooling Channels.
Maybe will fabricate a own 3mm aluminum pan for winter use if have time.

Swapped Oil sandwitch plate to Banjo style to get extra room for oil lines.
Ordered a set of Nankang NS2R 255/40/17 tyres for summer fun. Not the fastest but likely better handling than with stock PS4S.

that's a proper tidy oil take off system right there with those banjo connections

do update your thoughts on the NS2R as they are one my least favourite tyres
 
Made a really cool visit to TOYOTA GAZOO Racing Jyskä operation - they were prepping chassis for Rally Mexico.
Saw also a glipmpse of Rally2 project. Really exiting visit and worth arranging if you happen to be near Finland!
An of course that unicorn of GR Yaris WRC Car.

It was rather tricky weather during the recce drive but luckily GR doesn't hesitate even in heavier snowfall.
It is amazing what roads those rally1 cars drive doing almost 200km/h... hats off..

Cheers - yes with banjos its most compact and way to go.
I'll try to make a first track visit in April once track opens - just waiting the snow to go away...
The only downside there is that it is slightly heavier tire than Michelin, but hope the improved traction will overcome the weight.
 
Rolled 7hrs under the car yesterday night. Was questioning the reasoning of having cars as a hobby. updates coming if there's something to show.
installed the TRD undertray so car is ready for hot summer days. Additional duct for oil cooler couldn't fit now as the oil line routing blocks its place.
Don't think the duct is anymore needed though. air passes now to the engine bay / turbo.

Yess!! Its waiting there to get warmed up.. would be tempted to put them on but promised still random snow fall so maybe too early still..
Luckily summer is not that far away!

Understand exactly 😬 Quite the feeling to get summer tires on today here.. but supposed to snow this weekend
 
It is rather impressive bit of kit in real life. Hard to resist, as a car enthusiast.
Will likely make some stories on various racing tracks around the world, I'm quite sure of that.
Would make a nice complementation for garage, GR for gnarly conditions and RS for sunshine and track!
