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

[Duke]

Parked it up after driving 2,350 hard km in the past week round the NC500 (kind of!). Transferred all my stuff out of it into the family wagon and am away to spend a week on the Belgian coast so it’ll probably not get touched until next Saturday

 

[Duke]

Just realised I picked it up exactly a month ago on 22 April and have done 3,948 km since then. If I kept this up for a year it would be 47,500 km a year!

I have 3600km..... after 11 Months

Vacuumed the engine bay (really), there were loads of dead leaves and cobwebs in there.

Also took the bit of cloth out of the airbox but need to go for a drive to see how it is. Had a good look at the airbox, it's a good design but I might source another if I can get one that doesn't add too much whoosh noise. I'm not sure if one exists.

Stripped the doors out. The car is being wrapped next week...

I successfully eliminated the annoying rattling in the head area.

Between the ears? I get that too.

Left it at home

Yes. The plastic part where the belt comes out

Added the small HKS bit of engine bay bling. The big bit has been on order since last year…

I bought a rechargeable led light for the boot & fitted it last weekend. Comes complete with 3M sticky pads & is magnetic, so simply remove to recharge. Works well for £10

 

[Araf]

Dropped it off for wrapping. Pictures to follow in a few days....

Ooh do you have a link to this one Martin? Is it light sensing?

 

[Matt]

Not strictly to the Yaris, but I did take it to see one of its kin, and also buy another little homologation friend for it. Bit of a fixer upper.

It's going to be a satisfying first wash!

It's not light sensing and is simply push on/off action in a central button. I got mine from ebay & there are loads of sellers to choose from.
Just do a search for: wireless touch led light car interior reading dome trunk light (white)

Wireless Touch LED Light Car Interior Reading Dome Trunk Light (White) UK | eBay

Lighting mode: 3 modes (see pictures for details). Included: 1 X LED Light. Light color: White+Ice Blue. The picture may not reflect the actual color of the item because of different photographing light, angle and display monitor.

Testing the car. Was this the official GR drivers selection?

Some functional* carbon bling

*will eventually log to see how much it actually does for IAT >4k rpm

I finally did some logging, the Forge intake duct is very effective in removing the big rise in IAT once the flap opens. More wordy report here

Started by removing the rubber under door grommets to let the water out of the door.
It’s now in storage until July when it will go for a custom exhaust build. Then full detail. Then back out in September for Salon Prive at Blenheim.

The plastic filler primer and rub downs begin on my spare dash panels. Eventual plan is to get these fully smoothed and glossed and ready for a matte carbon wrap as I don’t like highly reflective interior trim (or dull grey wrinkly plastics)
