GR Yaris Handling Transformed! Track Testing at Wakefield - Motive Garage Yaris Ep4

In this episode of Motive Garage we head to Wakefield to test out the latest mods and try the new Zestino Circuit 07S semi-slick. We also try to get the lap time for quickest Yaris around Wakefield while we're there. Overall, our mods have totally transformed the Yaris.

Hello from the caribbean island of Antigua mate!🇦🇬👌👋

[@cyz44]

looking forward to see difference with the LSD upgrade

[@ReubenHorner]

Maybe intercooler and tune up next? Love what you have done with it so far. Excellent track squirter

[@MafiaboysWorld]

Can't wait to see how quick this goes around Wakefield in July when it's cooler.

[@motobazuka2535]

Juicy as. Wish I bought one when they were $40k drive away

[@mattyoz0]

Bring on the Rallye.

I tell you what, that Grub fella can loosen the bolts on my bonnet anytime he likes 😉

[@chrislaw4918]

Think he will inspect my dip stick and service my under carriage?

[@timothysoesman9188]

@@chrislaw4918 I think he’ll do something to it that’s for sure 😜

[@DOO00K]

Nice to achieve your goals but I love, love, love that you simply enjoyed the car for some happy laps. Hopefully it inspires more people to take their "racing" off the street and onto the track and enjoy their car and even modify their car to make driving more fun not just chase lap times. Well done!

[@oesi1]

Are these tires not mounted wrong? In my understandig the shoulder with the "Y" should be on outside. See also on FB Zestino Tires Costa Rica. Analogue to A052 or Pirelli Trofeo the massive shoulder should be on the outside, isn't it?

[@MotiveVideo]

you really think with all the experience amongst out team and the tyre shop we would mount then backwards?

[@NafaratMiyaMiya]

I'm loving this journey!!! great job on the content!

[@darwonboyful]

Loving how the boosted triple is sounding. Triples have such a distinctive note. I can't wait for people to start to really build these things up beyond the mods that are accessible at the moment. The next couple of years will see these yaris GR's absolutely rip.

[@nessie42786]

I bet swaps are just around the corner too.

[@MrAudi220]

Maybe something for you to check out is the eventuri intake for the yaris which evolve automotive is creating for it, they have a YT channel.Here is the link kzbin.info/www/bejne/eqWTcnl3as96q7c Very nice to see this little car evolve on the track.I absolutely love how a anti lift kit transformed my car. 👍

[@sodazman]

Those are some very grippy tires. Now it matches a stock Type R in lap times.

[@mattyoz0]

With no lsd...

[@paulmartin3372]

They don't even explain what the mods are.

[@uncivilised7M]

Have you guys tried doing the "pedal dance" to disable TC and VSC completely? Hopefully its the same procedure as other Toyotas and the 86/brz

[@BanzaiYaris]

Wouldnt make a difference lap time wise the systems dont kick in till you have a pretty big slip angle when you make it "everything off"

[@Dan-dx9qu]

Love your work guys 👌🏼 The GR would be the perfect daily in my opinion

[@jasoncee666]

They are if u can stomach parking it in public lots 😧

[@repuniad]

wow, that's a great time... will give some expensive cars something to think about! 8. Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 Warren Luff 1:06.70 9. Porsche 911 GT3 (997) Warren Luff 1:07.40 10. Porsche 911 Turbo S (996) Warren Luff 1:07.60

[@Boon778]

Very nicely done little fun-haver :-)

[@ntjmotorsports8149]

Have you noted mounted the tyres incorrectly 😂. Slick part of the tyre should be on the outer.

[@MotiveVideo]

Have you noticed the tyre manufacturer told us to do it this way. We know you want to prove how smart you are online, but we already knew and gave feedback to Zestino.

[@ianmansfield8885]

love this series Andrew...can we have some relative times..what does a decent Evo or Sti or other known brands achieve in similar trim..sort of street and track..thx

[@sodazman]

An Evo 9 is around 2 seconds faster stock standard than the GR Yaris. So it will probably be in the 5s with similar mods.

[@ClunieGarage]

Awesome job mate. I reckon it has seriously got a 1.06 in it.

[@Obsessioncardetailing]

Hey guys loving this series. What’s the lap timer screen thing your using? That looks brilliant

[@______________173]

Not the fastest GR Yaris at wakefield.........

[@MotiveVideo]

love how you say that then don't say who is

[@schoona90]

Driving fun vs the wrx ?

[@woggii]

loving all the content that you are uploading!!! keep up the good work. cant wait to see more videos on the I30N always wanted to buy one but i ended up buying a evo8 fq340

[@BNR_248]

How do these Zestino's compare to a Cup 2 or RE71r?

[@david32gtr87]

asdf

[@Neishy4AGTE]

Good in car camera on that 109.3, you can actually see the speed. Usually in car footage looks really slow compared to actual speed, must be the FOV.

[@JoshMustillo]

What's your opinion on the Yaris vs the WRX for track fun?

[@Sarncho]

What’s the lap timer thing you guys are using? Thanks

[@fueledgti]

Great video! Is this still untuned? If so that’s impressive

[@kenleung4778]

I won't call the Zestino Circuit 07S tyres is a semi slick, they more like a ultimate mix between the Full Slick tyres and Semi Slick tyres. For racing only! (Not road legal)

[@sodazman]

It is absolutely a semi slick tyre. In fact, practically 3 quarters of it is a slick.

[@james9032]

Please put Andrew in for true grass roots expectations.

[@simonmiller5118]

Great video. Awesome project. How would it go with stiffer springs and dampers and wider lower profile tyres? There still seems to be quite a bit of tyre squealing through the corners. Also, would competition brake pads help?

[@MotiveVideo]

one step at a time mate. thats how R&D works we have lots of mods coming

[@ClaytonYatescarenthusiast]

Great. You're legend man! What timing equipment are you using? I'd love to have that delta doing time attack

[@nedyahyakcam]

Looks like the Garmin system that mighty car mods spoke about in one of the lotus episode's

[@Garage.Philosophy]

Was pumped for this episode ! Good to Compare to the Wrx

[@TheGinger1]

Loving this content. Looking forward to seeing how far you take it. Keep it up.

[@Garage.Philosophy]

265s under stock guards !!! 😯 🤩

[@sheshd]

That's a damn good time regardless if the goal was 1:06. These things never stop surprising me.

[@itsracer7495]

Nice video, It would be great if we could see telemetry for the hot laps too

so good to see track validation with mods. awesome content. being new car is so good.

[@Sam125s]

Cool as. Did Boz drive the Tunehouse one to the 1:08.00?

[@MotiveVideo]

yes

[@gpajic1987]

Rear LSD soon? Will you go Cusco?

[@enemyfruitloop5858]

Are you going to remove the rear seats? I haven’t heard you mention this in the videos. Maybe I just missed it.

[@dnltbrca]

He wants to keep it as a street car so the rear seats will stay in. It's in the episode with weight reduction

[@mikeormond7883]

Great car and mods...... zero warranty left now though 😬

[@MotiveVideo]

completely incorrect

[@CallumCalzar]

What’s the brand name of that lap timer / gps attachment thingo you’ve got attached in the car there?

[@timsminigarage]

Garmin Catalyst I believe

[@descent8275]

crazy how much it leans over, even crazyer you guys r not getting the "track" version of it. also, did you guys open the brake duckting? I made a 3d copy of my oem ducts, almost ready to print. you can have the file if you want

have to ask Croydon Racing. Waiting on them

[@southaussiemotorsport7962]

I think you need an oil cooler and probly a sump baffle now with the extra grip from the new tyres! I would at least fit some temp sensors and monitor your temperatures.

[@jasoncee666]

Oil temp is displayed on dash and doesn't reach limit which has audible and visible warnings if reached. Lil Yari does good👌

[@southaussiemotorsport7962]

@@jasoncee666 if it's accurate then that's a really cool feature of the Yaris!

This is the 'inconvenience' pack too (lol) not even the track pack, which would have been.. I can't even imagine. Imagine front and rear mechanical differentials on this thing. It's real.

[@Garage.Philosophy]

$16,000 extra for LSDs . Andrew can easily do that for WAY less

[@sunrisesunset1734]

@@Garage.Philosophy Your pricing sounds WAY off, the track pack isn't much more expensive than the convenience pack. All the reviewers even go out of their way to say that not to buying the track pack model is a cardinal sin. Australian's are just unlucky to be stuck with just the convenience pack model being available to them for now. At least Australia gets the car.

[@Garage.Philosophy]

@@sunrisesunset1734 firstly track pack isn’t an option here we were offered base and rallye which were sold out very quickly and now not available . The rallye rrps for $56,200 drive away with on roads and Andrew purchased his Base model for I think $40,000

[@sunrisesunset1734]

@@Garage.Philosophy Well, other countries are paying around $3,000 extra for the track pack, it's supposed to be a no-brainer. Even so.. it's a Toyota so it's worth the money. What else can you drive to work monday to friday, thrash on the track on weekends, and not have to spend a cent in repairs? It's still way more than worth it in the end. Didn't know prices suck so bad in Australia.

[@MegaErrora]

Why didn`t you get the "Circut" pack right from the start with the LSD Front and rear? Don`t you think that would`ve made some difference at the track?
