GR Yaris What did you do to your GR Yaris today?

I need that goddamn spoiler and side skirt combo.

Been putting it off way too long. The Pearls just look amazing with it on.

Day trip to Helsinki on the ferry. Spotted another fridge white GR Yaris that had a huge pair of what appeared to be Cibie Supe Oscar spotlights on it 😎

well known car here. Give us headstart when you visit again in Finland so we can bring in more GR's.

A bit late, but I brought him out of hibernation and introduced him to his new little brother.

Fantastic choice, even on the future-valuation point of view! :love:
I did something similar a few weeks ago.
I felt the urgence to put my hands on something that doesn't deserve to disappear from the roads, and I finally found a really good used one.
Fantastic car, really, it deserves to stay side by side to a GRY like the i20 does as well.
Once I finally have the Mk2 delivered, I will post a photo of the two brothers together.

Changed rear diff oil to non-LS additive oil. Acc to Torsen FAQ results in approx 10% additional locking, roughly what I need on dry warm weather limit behaviour as I can just sense the inner wheel letting go sometimes at low speed (i.e. outer not slipping enough)...

Edit: only 2 bends in but I've taken them hundreds of times and I'd swear I notice a difference, like Track => Sport difference ... TBC

Edit 2: this oil is seperate from the front-aft ITCC clutch pack FYI

8k km filings

Quite normal on Torsen actually, no filter and magnet there for a reason.

Edit: but definitely wouldn't wait 40'000km for the first oil change... My 3rd in 30k...

I could swear that rear diff<>clutch-pack would share the same oil... are you sure about this? "Edit 2: this oil is seperate from the front-aft ITCC clutch pack FYI"

Yes sure.

41110 is the rear torsen diff assy
41303 is the completely seperate clutch pack
Marked green is the oil seal of the shaft (and no O-ring seal between them for common oil bath).

Nail in the coffin to put this one to bed:

Flashed ECU with revised custom EcuTek tune from Litchfield and went for a quick drive. Car feels a lot more urgent yet smooth. Haven’t got access to a dyno so best way to describe is that feeling when you fill up with a fresh tank of premium fuel and it’s a cool crisp and damp morning. Very happy.
 
Cleaned and polished my car at the weekend. It looked stunning. Parked my car at work this morning and by 4pm a golden eagle or something bigger decided to leave their unwanted stomach contents on my windscreen, drivers door mirror and door. Just pleased It's been raining most of the day so it was still soft , so could remove with a pump spray and cloth.

I guess gigantic birds have a sixth sense to detect fresh cleaned cars even from miles away, and it happens always when they feel the urge to discharge a huge number two... I feel for you (happened to me the same thing a few days ago).
 
Had a nice track session with friends.
Unfortunately one front tire started loosing air after one hot lap (stone went through?) but we managed to fix it at least temporarily.
Hot day overall, 27'C but Yaris kept on pushin' the limits...!
