the areodynamic friction sound sounds like part fo the gma t50 engine lab video on their youtube channel, is that intentionally tuned sound? the inline i think can sound better, even feeling more torquier in the sense it its more simple sounding than v6 so it sounds more like grunting like how you may do sometimes when moving heavy weight. see youtbe video by savagese review of maserati grecale , it sounds somewhat like lc500 v8 but without enough base heaviness and sharp sound and rough edge to it and to it but with greater range in pitch than lc500. also is there a fake engine sound kit aftermarket

[@75yomu]

6:31 That shifting from 3rd going straight to 5th reminds me of Keiichi Tsuchiya's AE86 where he made the 5th gear his 3.5 for closer ratios cuz iirc the 4th gear of an AE86 cant be modified.

[@papapetad]

I vaguely remember the fact but definitely watched that video not so long ago. I just thought it was neat that he customized the gearbox that way.

[@AbrahamArthemius]

Yeah, though the reasoning for DK's AE86 was because Gunsai in general favours acceleration more than top speed hence the 5th gear is modified to be a 4th gear with closer ratio. Pretty neat stuff by Tec-Arts

I remember reading that in Japan one of the famous Evo tuning shops wanted to find the limits of the GR Yaris engine so they tried boosting it way up. They made it to something like 400-450hp and it just wouldn't blow. So they dialed things back a bit then sent Nobuteru Taniguchi to drive the car around Tsukuba where it did a 58.5 second lap pretty much on the first try. See: qFHxA9zW5tk

[@supafrancis]

There is no gearbox rebuild needed. The short shifter just came out of adjustment. A 10mm socket, ratchet and 10 mins in the parking lot and it was back to the track. This things gearbox was built to last like everything else on this car. When Toyota puts their mind to doing something, it's done right

[@Thraakull]

Is it not crazy how Toyota made its name with the AE86 being a drift go-to car pretty much, and now the GR Yaris like a go-to grip car? Also, is it just me or did this particular car needed a sequential gearbox? That 4th gear being unaccessible is kind of ming boggling but imho a sequential gearbox would turn this 1.3 car into an absolute track beast.

[@clementspeedshop]

I think the grub screws on the cage need adjusting. It's possible to limit gear changes if the adjustment gets out of wack. Done the same thing on my Coolerworx before not being able to get reverse. No gearbox issues just the linkage needs a little adjustment. Cool car and lap. In gear acceleration is good but I think it's the weight, 4wd and auto blip that allows for pretty rapid laptimes. Did Misha speak of a power output? Might have missed that

[@dielaughing73]

He mentioned elsewhere that it "might" have a few (dozen) extra horses, but I'm assuming that's not something the owner wants TÜV to know
