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

Fitter a cusco pedal extension then did my first trackday with the car !

Really happy about it, did a more extensive review of the day/car which is pretty much in stock form in the member section. But definitely had a blast (And I need better tyres than 4S ...)

 
In advance of some summer Alpine jollies, got a full alignment done with a bit more camber dialled-in. The car is over three years old, after all.

Also had braided brake lines fitted. Although I got the unpleasant if not entirely unanticipated confirmation that I’ll need to get them homologated. That’s another €200 apparently 😡

Took the <ahem> long way home and can confirm the place has done a cracking job. Car is much more stable on the turn-in, grips like the proverbial, and feels very planted and predictable through the corners.

And the brake feel now is *chef kiss*
 
Other than a wonderful sunshade strip from Chevrons Direct and some rally mudflaps from String Theory, I have done nothing to my little pocket rocket.
I think I might be a boring fart because the noise the engine of this thing makes combined with what some say is a really subdued exhaust note, I just really enjoy that combination.

Agree, really like the understated, "if you know you know, its just a Yaris" vibe, meaning stealth progress can be made... also the horn just makes people smile :ROFLMAO:
 
I like the quietness of it... as some famous yank once said.. 'go quietly and carry a big stick'.

Today, I fitted the Cusco recovery eye for track days, to save clipping the cover on and off.
 
Feck feck feckady feck, hope it can repair.

Woo hoo now repaired.

Racking up the kilometres following Rally Estonia. Kid off kindergarten so he’s experiencing his first full rally. No roof wrap was harmed in this picture.
Meeting up with @Armijs on Saturday here at Rally Estonia too. GR Yaris being a bit more hesitant on start up when hot, taking a bit more to crank. New plugs when I’m back in Tallinn as I’m at 34k kilometres on it now.

Sounds like great fun, hopefully I'll make it to this year's Central European Rally to see our Rally 1 gods in action.
 
Had the car mapped again on the 11/07/25 to cater for the decat pipe. Safe limits along with rolling antilag, rolling launch and a few pops in there. IT’S LOUD!!!!!

Sounds like a WRC car on full chat.

Got an alignment done today, went on a proper hoon. Intercooler definitely helps now that it's this hot, felt really quick still, even in the high 20c range.

Waved at a 280Z, an R32 and a Silvia that were out enjoying themselves.

Nearly brand new PZ5 P-Zeros, found some really nice twisty roads... Sometimes you have those drives where you just realize how damn good this car is all over again. It just drives like a scalpel on meth!

Got extremely stone sprayed at a highway because of a proper idiot driving his Dodge Ram with a trailer and a boat on it in a fast lane (to be precise its on a part which is under construction, so the fast lane is even more narrower), smacking a barrier and completely snapping left side wheel of his trailer. Happened ~200m in front of me, luckily nothing major for rest of the traffic happened but stones were everywhere and obviously no way to dodge them... Looks like PPF did a good job, windshield also was spared.​
 
Was watching the WRC in Estonia on last saturday, unfortunately was not able to meet up with @Euge due to various circumstances, anyway, there was ZERO internet available as there were too many people, so no phone pics, so i made a video i shot with my DJI pocket. Enjoy for what it is, was really meant only for the closest friends or family but f it, here it is. First time my Yaris saw so many dirt roads, it was dusty all right.... Still have to clean the engine bay. 30 k km maintenance next week, still on all original tyres, pads and brake discs.

Was gutted not to be able to make it down to South Estonia on the Saturday, but we will catch up soon! Good footage from the DJI pocket.
