Similar thread to that on the GR Yaris section.

Mine so far is the 5cm steering wheel extender.
Edited to add: Close second is Carsifi dongle
In third place is the Cusco gas pedal extender

Carsifi.

Being able to connect to Android Auto without having to get your phone out is a surprisingly valuable quality of life improvement.

Switching off the artificial sound and getting an aftermarket exhaust was probably the best enhancement to the driving feel of the car.
 
I haven't done much to mine (don't really need to) but it would be the softer clutch pedal spring for me, much much better
 
1. Clutch pedal adjustments (lighter assist spring + adjusting the pedal downward). Huge improvement to drivability.
2. Carsifi.
3. Auto folding mirrors.

So basically, wot you 3 above said :D

I still need to find somebody more agile than I am in the Chester area to fit mine :rolleyes:
 
For me, although there have been a few - changing the gearknob to a heavier one when I upgraded the gearbox oil means at 3500 miles it's now as smooth as butter through the natural notches. Lovely.

Sounds good - what gear oil did you change to??
 
Remark Axleback
Focal Speakers
Camber bolts and a better geometry setup as it was out from factory. This transformed the car and gave far more confidence.

Next I don't know. Still thinking strut braces.
 
1. Fix the lack of front camber and rest of geo, now at 2 degree
2. Set tyre pressure at 2.2bar cold /also swapping tyres to Advan Sport V107
3. Brake pads and fluid upgrade
4. Verus throttle pedal spacer (Cusco extension would likely be nearly as good but not as OEM looking)
5. Disable fake engine sound / HKS exhaust / Intake mod (Still sound kinda tame for all that money spent)

Best value to least value

Looking forward to fix the anti squat to increase rear traction whenever I can get the MCA Traction mod V2 whenever it's out

How did you get to two degrees? Top mounts?

Changing the stock exhaust to the Milltek resonated, and the stock air filter to a K & N replacement filter (plus disabling the fake engine sound) has transformed the sound of the car for me (it was the only thing that really just wasn't good enough for me as stock).

*Edited to add, after getting home in the dark, the LED bulb swap for the boot was one of the first I did, but still the one of the most useful mods.

Which gear knob did you go for?

Millers Oils XF Premium MTF 75w Fully Synthetic from Opie Oils. I bought three litres to allow for a good flush.
