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

Not today but recently.
Painted my carbon bonnet black, well I didn't.

Because. I mean WTF.

I had a proper look inside the arches for the first time since last summer. The arches have been battered since I last checked... It seems quite easy to miss this. Probably a combination of thin paint and crumbling roads but I can foresee a lot of these rusting out at the arches in classic JDM fashion View attachment 40954
That is why i PPF'd mine.

Summer wheels and tyres on at long last.

Always a pleasure to feel the crispness in the turn-in again 😍 and grip for daaaays

Checked the brake pads front and back while the wheels were off too, all good.
 
Attended the 1/4 race here in Germany - Berlin. Was quick enough with a 12,78s time and 175kmh trap (1,79s 60ft). I guess thats the limit on the current setup. Its still on stock height and stock BBS with Michelin PS4 225/40R18 tires. Mods are the usual Bolt ons (Intake, FMIC, Exhaust and around 50kg lighter) controlled by the DTUK V2.

Crunched some gears and upset the power steering. I think I'll have to just go ahead and order the cusco mounts as everytime downhill shifting has been the issue. I am surprised and a little disappointed about the power steering I'm only running 235s at 32psi hot didn't expect to run into this sort of issue but I guess it's why they changed the type 26 model.

Also I do see why they changed the steering wheel as I keep hitting the screen change button and it's a little distracting. However the new wheel seems more annoying to use from a daily perspective. Gonna have to sit in the new car and see if it's a worthwhile upgrade.

I've had the 3rd gear fighting me a couple of times on my gen 2, I've been looking at different options for the torque mount but it seems that going too hard generates a lot of harmonic vibrations inside, apparently a good middle ground is using inserts.
