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

[Deleted member 534]

Today I took a roundabout way way quicker than I should have. It was like I was on fast forward or everyone else was paused.

2 mile commute and the only time I wish it was longer is when I'm GRYing

Interviewer: Why do you want this job?
GR Yaris Owners: It's further away than my current one.

After having the PIAA's laying around since fall, finally installed them.
Is it just me, or aren't they actually any louder?

Where are the original horns located?
After using mine for the first time a few days ago I think I need something a little stronge.

Discussion here, not sure yet if PIAA's are stronger but perhaps a bit, maybe they need to loosen up a bit?

Do they have a 600 mile running in period too?

Bought a dremel off Amazon for the interior mirror...

Did the same. Didn't bother me that much, but did make a noticeable difference, and now I can file my nails as well.

“Rare undrilled interior mirror” auction ends in 2040

Can you imagine what will happen to this car in the future the purists will be hunting down undrilled mirrors. With everyone moving it out of the way

I’ve still got a mirror riser in it’s box. With my head height, if I put the mirror at its max adjustable position the base isn’t that far off the bottom of the rear window so I don’t think adjusting too much further will make a difference.

Are people filing down / putting risers in purely for the blind spot issue and then keeping the mirror folded up and well out of the way given the poor visibility anyway?

They'll be as rare as passenger seat booster cushions.

The mirror adjusts in two places, so you can lift it up and adjust the angle to still give visibility (as much as you can get) through the rear window, but it will sit noticeably higher on the windscreen, giving more visibility when you look left through the windscreen (in a RHD car).

Amazing, thank you . Guess I’ll be fitting it this weekend. Pretty sure that the riser is the only thing I’ve bought without knowing exactly whether or not I needed it beforehand. It was so easy to get carried along with must buy accessory lists whilst waiting for the car!

You do need it. Unless you don’t actually use your eyes to drive. Which would make you belong to a rapidly growing group of drivers.

I’m sure there are people out there who wouldn’t even notice the mirror position. I regularly see sat navs and phone mounts stuck right in the middle of the windscreen in front of the driver.

The map is more important than the territory, for some. Seeing behind you more important than seeing in front for Gazoo Racing.

Can someone post the link to where to get the riser from please?

If you want to sort it for free:

GR Yaris - Completely free 15 minute job to raise the rearview mirror quite a bit further

- Remove the mirror. Video on how to remove the plastic cover. NOTE: the car in the video is NOT a Yaris so it is a bit different, but its a Toyota and close enough so you see how to do it. (not my video, just picked one where you can see how to push the plastic cover forward) - Disconnect...

Mirror risers come from a few places but I think the Tegiwa Imports one is popular:

Tegiwa Billet Aluminium Rear View Mirror Riser V2.0 Toyota GR Yaris 20+

The rear view mirror in the Yaris GR compromises visibility due to its placement but with our Tegiwa mirror spacer you can improve visibility by moving the mirror up by 2cm! Constructed from billet aluminium and finished in anodized black, these are a better option than the plastic equivalent...
