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

Gave it a good clean again, didn't quite finish the job last time, and this time got some iron remover on the paint to clean it up. Actually even had the wheels off to properly get at the barrel. Still not 100% happy with the fronts, but they are orders of magnitudes better than they were

They've been installed for a few months now. Very little NVH increase. Makes it feel a little more direct on large throttle changes, especially in lower gears. Nothing like the engine torque mount, but noticeable enough to be worth the money IMO, but my cost was only ¥16,000.

There's is some (?) movement going on in the rear of the car because of the various soft bushes in the links IMO so any reduction is a good thing and probably worth doing.
Its a pity you have to remove the bloody exhaust :(
 
Got the dashcam yesterday, installed this morning.

Took about 35 mins to install and route cleanly around the trim and through glovebox.

Last step left, put in a socket behind glovebox to make it a super clean install.

Quality is the best I have seen.
Very satisfied

I took mine out for a quick 0-60mph test.

In reviews the gen2 auto was 5.1s 0-60 (5.2 0-62 on paper).

I’ve previously had a 5.7 but that was in colder temps before Christmas. Tonight was a 4.38 and I repeated shortly after with a 4.4.

That's one of the best things about the auto; the ability to really launch it fairly reliably.

I'm far too mechanically sympathetic to attempt a hardcore 0-60 in my manual more than once or twice.

I still have never done this yet, but to be fair yours has got a whole lot more bolt ons AFAIK ? 0-60 Times that is.

The list keeps getting longer. Currently running a light EcuTek map whilst awaiting a proper tune once the exhaust is made and fitted and I now have flexfuel fitted running a Zeitronix ECA2 and an ethanol content sensor.
 
Today I discovered that the bottoms of the protection were filled with dirt due to constant driving on dirt roads.
Also, one red shield was lost, and there is damage on the shields. They are made of thick fabric.
Conclusion: it is necessary to remove these shields periodically for cleaning.
I repaired the damage with a sealant and reinforced it with construction fabric for construction with a similar structure.

Unfortunately, I didn't immediately notice the lack of plugs; at customs, when importing a Yaris to my country, the plugs were apparently removed to inspect the cavities and were not installed back🤯.
Over the course of half a year, dirt had already accumulated there, which had to be washed out.
I had oval plugs from my previous car, and for now I installed round ones from an electrical box (it's good that I'm an electrician🤓)

Finally booked my car in to get my new wheels and summers fitted. Squealing around on my winters has gotten very old in the last couple of weeks, can only imagine what state they'll be in when I get them off!
 
Swapped my DNA seat lowering kit to SWM. Definitely more rigid now, less flex in the seat. However, the kit was missing one of the 4 M10 bolts, luckily I had one lying around, and the SWM logo on the seat plate is backwards (and yes, it is backwards compared to ones shown on youtube videos). Not a big deal, but a little disappointing.

Fitted MFF mud flaps, not terribly impressed by them, the surface scratches just by looking at them wrong. The fronts would rub on the inside on full turn, so I am worried they would get caught by the tire if reversing...
Instructions had pictures printed by an early 90s printer and some of them were almost impossible to make out.

Ended up dropping the front mud flaps, keeping only the rears on the car for now.
