My 2023 Toyota GR Corolla gets Model Year 2024 Updates!

[@StayFoul]

Well, now its confirmed, stickers add performance. The ricer kids were right all along...

[@mr2marc]

3:08 for the steering rack bolts, the heads are marked. The old one is marked "I" which is a Class 6T bolt, while the new one is marked "10", which is a Class 10T bolt. Steering Link Assy spec by the repair manual: 98ft*lbf. However, the old bolt was 6T class and that means M14 flanged bolt are meant for applications with a lower 90ft*lbf. The new bolt is double that, allowing for 180ft*lbf with the new bolts (obviously the spec is still 98). Considering the length of this bolt, I think this might give the steering rack more consistency when pushing the car.

New Subscriber here, nice video. Have a great 2024 and greetings from Puerto Rico ✌️

[@fujiwaratofucafe]

Ayeee new video before 2024 ! 🎉

This is fascinating & reminds me of when MythBusters put heavy clay all over the body of a car & cut out dimples from it like a golf ball has. The car got much better fuel economy due to the aerodynamic impact of the dimples even though hundreds of pounds of clay was added.

[@ThomasTwomey]

Hi Ken. Can you please post the installation manual?! Lots of us owners waiting for it and it’s nowhere on the internet. Thanks!

[@BlueHokage]

I'm gonna buy that tape for all of my cars.

[@DrCrackula]

It sure would be sick if everyone could get this kit. It was a real adventure with the Toyota parts guy trying to figure out which part number was actually the new bumper vents for the CE.

[@KenGushiMotorsports]

Here are some of the part numbers for the update parts: Fender ducting: 
LH 53864-12011 RH 53863-12011 Crossmember Hardware Front 90119-14211 Rear 90119-16039 Aluminum Tape 75895-53010

@@KenGushiMotorsports thanks Ken. I actually got mine last Friday luckily . He ordered both sets for me so we could figure it out . Not a lot of info on their end . Luckily I keep my ear to the streets 😂😂

[@wmoID]

What is the torque spec for front and back bolt

[@kanmuridavid]

Hi Ken! Informative video. Can you make the installation instructions available to view?

[@KenGushiMotorsports]

Yep, I’ll have them on my IG!

[@kanmuridavid]

Hey Ken! I was wondering when you'd get around to posting the instructions. Thanks!

[@ThomasTwomey]

@@KenGushiMotorsportsHave you had the chance to upload them?

[@AK-hr9pm]

Crazy how small changes like that can affect the feel of the car

[@jimsgaragetoys]

Can you post links to the pictures of the instructions you got on where to place the aluminum tape? That would help a lot! Thanks. I just bought the parts but I want to make sure I apply the aluminum tape to the proper location front and rear.

[@harrisracing]

Do the instructions specifically tell you to remove the front bumper air curtain block-off plates when you upgrade to the 2024 inner fender outlets?

[@LoveLikeaHurricane]

is the 2024 Circuit edition opened up in the front ducting? I heard Circuits were all suppose to be closed ducting.

[@onebadmr]

The front ducts are closed on the 2024 Circuits.

[@Soysaucedd]

Could you share all the part numbers? Would be great to order these for myself!

[@luckyluke9053]

Cool video Ken! 0:10 How are you getting this car to get that sideways on dry surface? 30/70 or 50/50 bias? Looks great on the dirt too!

[@KenGushiMotorsports]

These cars only like 50/50 bias when going sideways haha. Once you pull the handbrake, the couple actually releases and it goes full front wheel drive otherwise

[@luckyluke9053]

@@KenGushiMotorsports Good to know. I've noticed it's a little more playful on the 50/50 mode. Need to try this in an open parking lot haha. Thanks for the input! Keep up the GRC content!

Now that 2025, Corolla Gr has been announced. Can you install the upgraded parts to this Corolla Gr.

[@wmoID]

It be nice if the parking sensor on the front and rear bumper can be retrofitted from 2024

[@uReact2]

Have you replaced any of the diff/trans fluids with Motys by any chance?

[@kiefervandenberg]

I thought they only work at low speeds?

[@deancane9298]

Can you post the install manual?

[@kirill2640]

Could you please post the manuals?

Tell Toyota to fix the rear diff!!

What are the tightening torque specs for the steering rack bolts/nuts and the rear subframe bolts?

@@KenGushiMotorsports Thank you! Any chance to get that guide in a .pdf? xD

[@CPTSaveAHoe247]

are you currently building a 2JZ 👀

[@Faithfps]

This is probably a dumb question but how did you get only the one corner of the bumper off with out taking the whole thing off? I recently hit a deer and it misaligned my bumper and cracked the plastic mount in the corner for my headlight. Both can be fixed quite cheap I was just waiting to get the car on a lift to take off the front bumper, but seeing how you took off only the corner I feel I can fix it sooner. I tried pulling on the side to pop the clip but I'm not sure if there's screws or something I'd have to also take off.

[@KenGushiMotorsports]

The side will pop off quite easy if you undo the two clips by the wheel well duct, and the bottom clips!

[@Faithfps]

@@KenGushiMotorsports any screws have to come out or just straight pop off?

[@KenGushiMotorsports]

No screws on the corners, just the clips and tabs on the bottom

[@scottandrews4822]

Do you think the revised bumper ducting makes a difference, along with the tape?

[@KenGushiMotorsports]

I’m sure everything adds up. I’m sure opening up the front duct cover makes a difference with or without the updated ducting. But the Chief engineer told me because the Circuit Edition comes with a rear spoiler, CFD data showed better performance with the front duct closed shut

[@boltz95]

Ken gushi content to finish the year 😩

[@lilrdvs]

If you install the new front ducts are you able to remove the covers i have a CE and i was going to remove them till i heard they affected performance does the updated part fix this issue

[@lbcitylacounty90810]

Wanted to like this car but, the overheating differentials at the back and turning into front wheel drive was a deal breaker for me 😏

[@TB86GRC]

It takes 30+ minute hot lapping sessions in high ambient temperatures for the diff to overheat on thie car. It's really not a big issue. Unlike the Focus RS that does two hot laps on R comps and becomes an overweight ST.

[@pushtoyota]

@@TB86GRCtakes less than 10 mins to overheat the rear diff on the track. Anyone that drives this car hard on the track will immediately be disappointed on how quickly the rear diff over heats….

[@TB86GRC]

@@pushtoyota That hasnt been my experience with mine at all, I've found the car needs an oil cooler long before the diff becomes an issue.

[@pushtoyota]

@@TB86GRC are you driving in track mode? 50/50? 30/70? also you aren’t driving the car hard enough… put a good sticky tire and see what happens.. 10 mins with 30/70 around 85 degrees. Or 15 mins on 50/50 track at 85 degrees.

[@Kyu1LL]

How the hell… the aluminum tape thing feels like April fools lol

[@apex_gr]

How do I get one of these kits?!

hiii ken

Interesting stuff 🤔

[@vladimirmakarov5669]

Thought that was Bastista for a sec. 😂

[@Soh90]

It’s funny, now that the dust has settled on the CTR and GR Corolla hype, I find myself gravitating more towards the GR Corolla when at first I was all about the CTR. Whenever I watch CTR reviews though, the person driving the car mouth says one thing, but what I can VISIBLY see is a horrible ride. Couple that with Honda lying about their Nurburgring time and overall, the car just takes itself way too seriously. Then there’s the GR Corolla which is flawed in its own right (usable space), but overall it comes across as a true hot hatch. Manual handbrake, AWD, an interior that functional but not fancy, and a charming personality. CTR, why so serious?

[@frenchouillard]

These bots are identical ! They better not be charging 300$ for these

[@KN-jw7ts]

If you weren’t a credible automotive guy, I’d say you claiming its a “noticeable difference” is total BS! So bizarre that those lil bits can affect it the way you say. I’m curious as to which one of those upgrades made the biggest difference?

[@KenGushiMotorsports]

As much as I want to say the bolts did the most work, I have a feeling it’s the tape lol

[@KN-jw7ts]

Bizarre to say the least. lol. Gotta try it for myself.

[@KN-jw7ts]

And even the bolts!! What’s the difference between old and new?! Lol

[@victorliu9715]

​@@KN-jw7ts you can see the bolt heads are different, more rounded around the corners and lower profile. Since the bolts stick out from the bottom of the car, it probably helps with aero on the underbody.

[@imJGott]

im to early, youtube is still rending

Hahah thanks for being early
