Today I have had 4 nice new Continental SportContact 7 tyres fitted to my new-to-me ‘21 GR Yaris Circuit Pack (Black).
Vacuumed and cleaned the interior just now, also cleaned all the leather upholstery parts and seats, had not cleaned or conditioned the leather parts till now.

I won't be able to compare really - car came to me with 2 very worn (but still legal - just) PS4Ses on the back, and 1 good PS4S on the front with one Trazano ZuperEco. So I don't have a good baseline - just wanted to get them changed to get to a safe state before pushing the car.
Collected mine from Airtec, think I will modify my Eventuri carbon engine cover to fit the new inlet manifold but otherwise happy with how it’s looking.
Inlet manifold feels like a good improvement on my extended drive home.

Absolutely nothing. It has been parked up since Thursday because some guy called Alfred wanted a storm named after him. Eye of the cyclone passed less than 50km from us but it was down to a category 1 which is good in the scheme of things but still bad. Lots of damage and at least one life lost. Tonight we have the southern aftermath which is the worst part. Still high winds gusting over 100kph and torrential rainfall. Our area is expected to get between 400 and 600mm of rain in the next 48 hours. We are fine but there will be even more damage due to localised flooding.
All that is heading our way.

moved oil cooler 2cm backwards and 2cm upwards did a small scoop to direct air better to cooler cell. was too busy so didn't remember to take any pics.
initial plan was to box the cooler tract but there is so little space it does not make much sense.

Not today but yesterday I picked up my car after having @gazYar's built gearbox fitted, which completes my Convenience Pack Circuit conversion with front & rear Torsen diffs 
with the added bonus of all the strengthened gearbox internals! Thank you @gazYar it was a pleasure dealing with you 
Whilst having the box fitted I also had Exedy clutch, Collins gearbox mount, Weldspeed intake manifold, Roetheli oil sump, and Whifbitz resonated titanium GPF delete installed.
I took the 'avoiding motorways' route home which pretty much followed the A5 from Northampton to Anglesey which was pretty epic, for the Wales part at least.
Wow. The car feels much more keen to go than before, can really feel the diff working and the HKS Spec-L II exhaust now sounds perfect to my ears whereas it was a bit feeble before. And the gear change is sublime. Absolutely made up with it!

I’ve just had the Airtec inlet manifold fitted and agree the cars more keen to take off. Seems a worthwhile mod.Not today but yesterday I picked up my car after having @gazYar's built gearbox fitted, which completes my Convenience Pack Circuit conversion with front & rear Torsen diffs

Still no gry driving with flooded and damaged roads but to complete the picture...
Fri 13mm of rain
Sat 170.3mm
Sun 398.8mm
Mon (to 19:00) 142.4mm and still raining.
Tomorrow is going to be dry with under 20mm forecast! Storms will be around for a week or so yet.
Lots of people hit hard, we have just been inconvenienced with the rain and no reticulated power since Fri night. Should get power late Wed. Generator and 4wd aux battery taking care of things. Oh and lots of leaf litter and a couple of trees down.

Today I've had another nice new Continental SportContact 7 tyre fitted to the car due to a nail right through the brand new tyre on the shoulder, so no repair possible. I hope this does not become a recurring story! I can see from the receipts I received with the car that there have been a few punctures in the past - bad luck, or is there some reason that these tyres (or the PS4S tyres) would be prone to punctures?

Picked up a new air filter and fitted it, for some unexplained reason the main dealer failed to replace it on the 4 year 27k service.
It was not invoiced so not a big deal, but it does make you wonder what else on the schedule they fail to adhere too.
Maybe placebo effect but its definitely perkier and boost now peaks at 20.4 psi instead of 19.3

Been driving on PS4S tires for the past 4 years across 2 cars, and no puncture yet.
