I dont like the new front end, but I do like that it has working vents!
I hate fake vents with a passion. That and fake exhaust tips really grind my gears.
With the lack of any details from Toyota I’m hoping the GR86 spends some significant research and development time with the Gazoo Racing department to improve upon what Subaru have done so far with the re worked car. -
Over a month now and still sign of a definitive diagnosis? I wouldn’t be happy about this at all. Apparently these latest engines use an awful lot of sealant and it must be applied in exactly the right places to avoid further damage. You should keep the pressure on the service manager to push this through otherwise it will take a back seat in their car park.

I’m curious as to why Toyota haven’t advertised their version yet? Is this because of the Yaris GR getting the spotlight for now?

Erm is there a reason as to why you’ve installed the helper spring below the coil spring instead of on top? I’ve got a set of V3’s and I’m just curious as to whether I’ve missed a trick.

This ones already had the stage 1 remap done!!!😎

No I doubt with a supercharger, a break in traction isn’t what you want.

The GR Yaris reminds me of this Aygo Crazy from way back. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/toyota/aygo/first-drives/toyota-aygo-crazy

I’m yet to try these tyres and the only negative is that they provide too much traction for some.
Do you know if these TPMS valves have replaceable batteries?

To be honest I’m not sure, it was actually a pre-production chassis from Japan (doesn’t even have a VIN) and it’s only ever been a fully stripped out racecar, so a lot (incl fog lights) have been removed over time for cooling/weight reduction) if that’s what suggest it’s a primo 🙂Wow that’s cool! It was actually the headlights that don’t have the LED DRL, for some reason I’ve always liked the lights without DRLs.

Well done on sourcing the model 5’s though, they’re really rare in that fitment. What’s your reasons for wanting to switch to 17’s?

Your car looks super clean 😎 what is your suspension setup? More importantly are those SA3R’s, how did you source them?
-
I would say that simply changing the tyres for a better performing tyre unlocks a lot of traction and handling from the chassis.

Second hand fa20 engines aren’t that expensive £2-3k from a breaker. Of course labour to fit might push that higher. Hopefully Toyota diagnose and repair under extended warranty.

Those brakes look great tucked behind RPF1’s!
Are the calipers rotated up from the oem position? If so I wonder why? -
They came up really well and the rotors looks great when there new. The brakes feel so much better when you change out the oem pads, discs and fluid.
-
Nice! Are your callipers original?
-
That certainly will tighten up the chassis. Super pro should prevent you losing your teeth over a pothole as well. I would hazard a guess that your trying to get the alignment back to oem with the use of adjustable suspension arms and drop links?
-
Cheers for the info Will, it seems like they have some proven record with a strong lightweight wheel. They’re about there with price compared to others with similar reputations.
-
I’ve never seen a set of Protrack wheels before. Do they supply the VLN GT86’s that compete in the Nürburgring 24HR.

I had to do this with almost every used car I bought that had the windscreen replaced. Is your new screen genuine Toyota and does it have the blue tint strip on it?

After reading this I finally bought one for mine. It’s amazing how fresh and updated the inside of the car feels when you get rid of the standard yellow/white light for the bright white. I can find all my stuff now when getting in and out of the car.
