As a GR Yaris owner, I think the car really comes into its own with a few basic mods. Exhaust, seat lowering, intake and a rear wing really makes it look, sound and drive fantastic. First and most important mod is the exhaust imo. Just get a milltek system, they sound great, really easy to mount, and much cheaper than this.

Have a HKS Legamax exhaust and the Eventuri on mine. Both intake and exhaust are essential mods in my opinion. Not fussed on lowering the suspension as love the way I can take speed humps without gritting my teeth worrying about the front lip and weirdly despite being 6’2” the driving position never bothered me but would love some Recaro CS retrimmed one day for purely aesthetic reasons. Imran if you’re reading these comments, the Eventuri is an amazingly designed intake and very happy with mine, so well done to all involved 👏🏻

@@bst857 Not trying to pull the wool over anyone’s eyes. I know it’s an expensive intake as I’m not sponsored by the brand and bought it with my own hard earned (ish) money and not trying to pretend otherwise. I’m just saying it’s a premium product and priced accordingly. I know there’s much cheaper options out there so the choice is yours. In fact I very nearly bought the Forge upper airbox which is considerably cheaper but I liked the look of the Eventuri more and it sounds good so I’m happy. The MST if you’re referring to that also performs very well but personal preference and all that.

I don't like the sound from the outside but it sounds bloody awesome from in the car which is what matters. All in all I'm a big fan of what he's done to this but I'd probably not lower seat at all being that I'm 2 inches shorter than him so my build would be a cheaper than his. I'd go for the power upgrades, suspension and leave the rest standard but deleting the nonsensical fake noises as he has too.

For 20 eur you can buy a easily install a riser. More power? Intake, exhaust, remap...alone or in combination. In Japan they sell a kinto official upgrade with warranty for de ecu. From my point of view, there is no reason to upgrade to MK2 (that has also a questionable interior and also exterior)

The body kit is fanstastic. Theres something nice about the understated styling of stock but it just looks right with the wing.

I imported and fitted a genuine GRMN OEM Recaro seat for my GR Yaris which lowers the driving position by 30mm. Here's what I've discovered. It's fantastic for track work but on lumpy crappy back roads with blind crests or on dirt I found myself actually missing the sight angle of the original seat. Also I cannot grip the handbrake as competently when using it for slides because the side bolster gets in the way. Very surprising. I do love my Eventuri intake but question the 20hp gain. I think it's more like 14hp. Would welcome feedback on that.

Great post. Personally as an owner of a 2021 GRY I’ve never understood the criticism of the standard seat height for regular road use. I don’t track mine but use it on the tight and bumpy B roads where I live and I find the standard seat height perfect. I think many people forget this is a rally focussed car and not a hot hatch track day weapon and the interior ergonomics were overseen and guided by Tommi Makinen. Hope you are enjoying your car as much as I do mine.

@@sultanoftippoo3857yup I am enjoying my 21 GRY. Although not perfect, I am now used to the seat height and mirror positioning flaws, and feel no need to changed them. The rear 3/4 view pulling away sometimes is more of a bugbear, but that’s down to small rear glass and pseudo coupe body. Will I go for the new model? Depends on cost to change and tbh I never track this car and it is more than good enough for UK roads. A Litchfield remap and Nitron suspension seems better value at this point.

@@gaycha6589 ha, you raise a really good point. All these reviewers and critics who bang on about seat height and rear view mirror location totally miss the one real world criticism I’d highlight which is that tiny rear view window and particularly without a wiper makes seeing anything out the back impossible if left more than a few days without washing it. TBH that’s the only thing that bugs me about this cracking little car.

Get the new car, and do the intake and exhaust mods on that. The body and suspension kits look good, as does the wrap, but are all unnecessary. Not sure the bigger rear wing would look good by itself. You can easily tune the car for more power, and as the new car has upgraded engine parts, it's a better candidate for such.

Just do the intake, tune, and exhaust. Even though there's no way you're getting 40hp from an intake and exhaust. Probably more like 6hp. But sounds better. Don't mess with the wing, suspension, or seats. Probably much cheaper that way and you get 90% of the package.

I feel like I've seen lots of videos/tests that more or less prove that modifying intakes and exhausts on a modern car doesn't actually add power because modern car ECUs will account for any additional flow and force the car to operate within manufacturer specifications despite better breathing?

HKS do a supercharger kit too and Harrop have one in development aswell.
