Did some more sound recording this morning. And i can present the done video, in the end it is not completely to my liking, but given the equipment i received, i did the best that i could, unfortunately, some equipment that was necessary to record on the outside of the car while it is moving still did not arrive, and as i did not want to wait too long here it is, sometime in the future ill make a small feature movie with it properly recorded how i imagined it, probably when GPF delete comes.
Do you havbe any experiences to share about the verkline mounts now that you've had them on your car for a few weeks longer?
Yesterday I had a chance to drive 150 Land Cruiser to haul some bigger cargo... Now I know how it feels to navigate an aircraft carrier. Potholes in that car are pure myth and propaganda, also any steering feedback/road feel is not needed for such ship. For first 15 minutes I was just laughing how ridiculous it felt, but obviously its proper off-roader so no wonder it floats. Hopping back to Yaris felt like reincarnation.

I love borrowing my dad's Hilux for exactly the same reason. It's a complete reset for the brain. Jumping back into the GRY afterwards is just a ridiculous contrast. Its divine ascension.
Best performance mod for the Yaris I ever bought was also buying a Caddy

Same with me but Citroen Jumpy/Dispatch, it isn't the slowest but still ridiculous difference, every time after driving it i love the Yaris even more.

Caddy wheelspins with 120hp out of the end of my road
In fairness, 120hp, not the best tires, and rear suspension from a stage coach probably will do that

Retightened the handbrake as it was not working at all - now its firm.
Approach was to put is at tight as it goes from drum and then loose 3-4 clicks.

If it has stock suspension there are river barges with better handling... I fitted custom Bilsteins to mine and it is decent. For a barge.
Had the CSC7 on for about 1,200km now and did a mountain run out and back going over 4 different range roads each way. Two serious climbs and two serious runs down the mountain. Across the top twice and two chunks of flowing tarmac that is posted 70 but strikes up a conversation at 100.
I have to say these tyres inspire a lot of confidence which was surely lacking with the V601s. I was hesitant getting Contis because my HSV VF GTS had 5Ps and my M2 had a stint with SCS6 and both times the tyre wasn't up to the weight or the heat. We haven't had crazy hot days since I fitted the tyres but in the mid to upper 30s so a reasonable test. Yes happy with these. Didn't want to go 245/40 but that is all that is available here unless I go for a private import.

Nice little trip to Latvia today. Managed to avoid Latvian police traps which is always a winner. Then @Armijs fitted my new Ragazzon. The tips are marmite.. you either hate em or love em! But I love the motorsport look. Sound is nice, just need to find a tunnel on the way back to Tallinn.

Very boring post , finally had the weather to give my car a clean and see it gleam in the sun. Being pearl white it's stunning when the sun is on it.
So lucky to have this as my daily drive.

New floor mats in the gen 2, really happy with the quality, much better than OEM.
I really need to get to mine, it's got green growing out of it.
