Toyota GR Yaris

Yes another Scarlet Red Gr Yaris. I ordered the car back in June 2021. It finally arrived last month and so far its been well worth the wait.

The car was collected by Dunlop Detailing in their covered trailer. They paint corrected and coated the car and it looks amazing!

I don't have much planned for the car. Maybe an upgraded sound system at some point, but other than that, I want to keep it standard. Though I've said that before.

I have added some sound deadening to the boot to try to and help with the road noise, which so far is my only complaint with the car.

I also plan to hang on to this for a while, so I took the car to Lough Neagh Autocare for some rust prevention. Ryan coated the underside and cavities with Dintrol. I went with clear so it looks like its all OEM.

Yeah I saw that. It’s meant to improve gear change feel even if the original isn’t damaged, so I’ll definitely add lower torque mount to my list.

Common as muck these now

Great job on the underneath, something I'll definitely be doing over winter here as mine looks a lot more 2nd hand than yours does! Amazing how quickly things start to corrode, especially the lower arms!

Quick update on the Yaris.

Instead of making my car lighter, faster or louder. I've gone a different route and made it more daily driver friendly.

After a trip to Audio Advice a few months ago, my car now has heated seats (not available with the Circuit Pack) and an upgraded sound system (Original one was woeful).

The seats are a great job and got plenty of use over the winter months.

For the speakers, we replaced the door speakers with a nice set Blam speakers. And we added a hidden small Audison Prima sub, which for its size, is fantastic! We also had to add some sound deadening to the doors otherwise the improved speakers would just cause everything to rattle. Added bonus, this has helped improve the loud road noise which plagues the GR.
