I ordered this GR Yaris with the circuit pack at the start of December after finding myself spending a lot of time watching videos and reading all about them I thought this might be a safer place to put money than a house at the moment.

This has the circuit pack with 2 LSD’s and BBS forged wheels. Also gets the callipers painted in red and brake ducts. The only other option available is the colour which had to be red.

Here’s the G16E-GTS

When it got delivered to work on Monday

as soon I was finished work it was into the workshop to fit the carbon fibre arch guards and short number plates.

Just under 100 miles on it now. I don’t get to redline it until 600 miles but it has a good amount of mid range torque

Plans for it are to under seal it this weekend, file the arm on the rear view mirror so it can be raised higher and getting an aftermarket exhaust.
Thinking about getting a splitter and skirts but I want to see one in person first.

Things that annoy me are the lack of storage up front and the square holes in the front grill with the number plate plinth off but I can get a Jap or Aussie spec grill to sort that.

Cracker @Zach417 - I got the plate hole covers from a guy on the GR Yaris forum btw.
How do you find fit of them ? The guy making them at start isn’t doing them anymore but just checked there now and there’s another guy starting to do them.

Just watched Harry's Garage vid with his son last night, really honest review after 3k miles, I see he did the rear view mirror 'mod' too.

Health to enjoy!

Class mate, health to drive!

Really hard to pick a favourite colour in these now, they all look great to me. The red in the sun is something else though 😎

Seen this along the road side yesterday, lovely! First one I'd seen in the flesh, small but beefy. How are you finding it so far?
