GR Yaris (Gen 2) How Do You Find the GRY Handles?

[speeddemon666]

Hi Guys, have had a weekend of driving the GRY a little and getting used to the handling of it. I would be interested in your thoughts on this.
I find it a little under-steery into corners under braking, switching to a slight oversteer coming out under hard acceleration.
The transition between the two can make it feel a little sketchy.
Maybe it's me and the way I drive.
Would appreciate your thoughts.

What configuration? Track/Sport/Normal? Expert?

 

[speeddemon666]

Normal on the AWD. Sport on the mode selector.

 

[Ecsrobin]

Normal on the AWD.

That will explain what you’ve described.

I’ve been trying to figure out what the issue was with my GRY, and I think I have come to a conclusion that it’s torque steering. In a corner under load it pulls out, and when braking it goes back in. I can’t really say it’s different in any mode.

I think you'll feel that feeling of torque steer but I think it is the front LSD finding grip.
Defo not different in any mode?

This is when driving normally on the road with a little tap on the throttle in a corner, not loosing any grip.

with or without spacers?

No spacers, stock suspension.

I have done some more research. Trackmode/expert or sport mode doesn’t change anything. It appears that the car changes direction when the drivetrain slack engages and disengages. Tried lifting the handbrake one klick to disengage the rear wheels, but it didn’t seem to change much.
Did a overtake in a 80km/t zone today and the car seemed to be all over the place when changing gears going past.

Sounds like needs geo set and corner weight correctly plus almost certainly some weight on ant roll bar when flat

It is sketchy in my opinion.

Sometimes when i forget im not in the daily (Combo Life) and do a fast left turn from a standing still to merge in traffic the rear tends to overtake... But i also did power mods so far and have not touched the suspension and wheels yet.
