GR Yaris What did you do to your GR Yaris today?
- Thread starter MrJ
- Start date
It was just under £130. ( £100 labour and £28 for the bush) You could probably get it fitted for less but I've used this indy for years and trust them 100 percent so don't mind paying a bit over.
Reset my tyre pressures...
Pumped up the tyres.
Told the computer that I'd done so.
Drove a long way on a straight road at a consistent speed as per the manual.
Achieved 47.8mpg.
Drove back in a less straight, less consistent manner.
Didn't achieve 47.8mpg.

Took my ITG air filter out and put my panel filter back in as a science experiment. As much as I love the (slightly better) noise and the (slightly better) top end pull of the ITG I like the low down response of the OEM.
Also trying to keep the engine as OEM as possible.
If anyone wants and ITG filter with a few hundred miles use on it for £25 posted let me know.

Bat out of Hell
Totally Hooked
Picked my mate up from the airport, he's never been in the car before and he got a bit of a shock as I gave the car some beans, when I dropped him off he said "my legs are shaking and thanks for the flying lesson"
Lovely. My passengers come in two camps. Never again (nausea/puking optional), and when can I come along again?
- Arranged a repair of damaged carbon aero kit part for August.
- Took some photos of dirty car, washed it in Photoshop.
- Fell in love with it once again.
- Got a msg on YT channel from a guy wanting to buy a GRY if we could meet for him to see GRY in flesh. Meeting tomorrow.
One of the blanking plates had been damaged on one side so was finally time to get the brake ducts fitted
Also noticed a few trim clips had been lost or not clipped in properly after the last service, so sorted them or just used fir tree ones instead to replace them

Thanks for advice!
All went fine, poor fella was not quite ready for GRY
Took him up the local mountain (road was run as a WRC stage in '21).
Noticed extreme temps while going uphill, even though it was not that hot, around 30C in shade.
Gearbox 85C, ITCC 86C
Engine oil 117C
Not really happy with those since I'm running ITCC vent, TRD undertray and oil cooler... Time to look into vented bonnet?
Hot, high, upphil and relatively low speeds are a worst case scenario, so actually then those temps are not too bad at all, probably lot worse without the additional cooling you have. So no improvements needed. But further improvememts by definition won't hurt either, I would love a vented bonnet that also works during winter....Noticed extreme temps while going uphill, even though it was not that hot, around 30C in shade.

I took part in my first hill climb, 4th outright which I'll take given the cars ahead of me (and a few behind) were all locals with full blown rally cars. The integra behind me was a V8 RWD thing with a massive aero kit for example!
Cheers! I'm mega proud of the time, I've got on board videos of my runs so I'll post em up when I've had chance to edit and upload them.Awesome result! One would imagine that Integra could catch some air
Yes, a flat bar road bike, front wheel off, passenger seat slid forward a few notches and it was inGood work on the bike. Assume front wheel off job?
