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

it's strange for dealerships to become infamous for failing to use the right oil so, you know, swings and roundabouts.

For my first service with the car at a GR centre they used the API SN+ oil for a hybrid so I've supplied my own oil ever since
 
Drove it to rally Japan. Spent way too much on model cars 😂. I think I have about 5 of the things now.

Akio/morizo gave a lucky fan a ride in the rally 2 car. Surprisingly I only saw one other regular gr yaris in the whole Toyota&Nagoya area in 2 days...

Unfortunately the GR Japan meet fell on the same day as my rally Japan tickets.

I weirdly gained more range after a 30 mile round trip. Drove for a coffee this afternoon after the car had sat for a week, didn’t do anything extra special to drive in an eco friendly way and had 270 miles range left when I parked up. When I started the car up to drive the 15 miles back home, it said 320 miles and the needle on the tank was at the max. In all the 4 years of ownership the max I’ve ever gotten is 310 miles so it surprised me.

I’m aware that the car will update according to long term mpg, but this really stumped me. Is there a timeframe that it updates on, or is it a glitch? Was parked on the flat so all I can think is that it is due to the saddle design of the fuel tank or something like that.
 
Today was a good day. On my Convenience Pack I had installed -

• Full Circuit Pack suspension
• DNA Racing adjustable camber top mounts
• Whiteline rear camber arms

The original geometry settings were miles out. It was running toe out in the rear, no wonder it was a floaty fidgeting mess before.

Now running -

- 2.9 degrees Front camber & 1mm of toe out
- 2.2 degrees Rear camber & 1mm of toe in

Feels absolutely amazing! Should’ve done this years ago (or just bought a Circuit Pack).
 
Had the pleasure of meeting @RichM who was parting ways with his C-Tec Titanium OPF / GPF back, too good a deal to pass up given the rep C-TEC have for their exhausts,

fancied a change from the HKS Hi-Power Spec L II, which if I'm honest I always felt it was a little too bassy at low revs so was on the lookout for something else, sounds great other than that however.

I'll be looking to sell the HKS once I've swapped them over and cleaned it up, so I'll get a listing up here asap if anyone's interested in it.

Yeah 3rd has been the issue for me too. My dealer said they did a few cusco mounts and guys came back in 24hrs asking them to swap it back to stock because it was unbearable.

I've learned to live with it. Just put a piece of foam between the rearview mirror and roof so you can see what's behind you :LOL:
 
Hey there, just because I missed the challock one as I didn't know there was a gr zone forum I thought I'd post this here, I'm trying to get enough people from GR Zoo to attend Go Japan at Brands Hatch in Kent on August 31st (bank holiday Monday) so we can go as a club :)

If you're interested just drop a reply on the thread below, cheers!

I picked mine up from Toyota, after a four plus month wait after I ordered it. Nicknamed Freddy, its a 2026 Liquid Mercury GTS Aero Pack in manual, with a few factory extras. Pleasantly surprised that Toyota wont void my warranty when I do the GR chassis braces, rear seat delete and a few other non performance GR parts that I purchased when I placed my initial order. Dropping it off for a PPF wrap in a couple of days.
 
Celebrated its 4th birthday. Can’t believe it’s been that long and (non-fond) memories of the endless delays and ship tracking until it arrived. As sad as it is, still one of the best days ever and remember the excitement of collecting it for the first time then driving it to a friend’s wedding that afternoon. There was a last minute issue with some paperwork too at the dealership which added 30 mins onto the wait, I couldn’t believe it.

Anyway, thinking I might swap the mudflaps over to a different colour (red) and possibly get the wheels painted as a treat. Maybe a proper detail and ceramic coat too. Bad photo of it in the dealership the first time I saw it:
