Secrets of Speed! Unlocking GR Yaris True Performance

[@Gippo50]

Ben seems like a top dude. Explains the detail really well

[@ashleytempleman5242]

I’ve been using Ben and the team at String Theory on my GR, got their seats, springs and quite a few other bits done by them. Absolutely top guys all of them, with a wealth of knowledge, wouldn’t go anywhere else now. Great video!

[@cliff4695]

I say it all the time but this channel, hands down, has the best video quality. Not sure why it's so much better but, it is noticably better than the rest of car channels on here. It's TV quality, not your average KZbin video quality

[@MrJWW]

The whole team really appreciates your comment - thanks Cliff! 😎🏁

[@EdwardBrennan]

It's Top Gear quality in truth. Much appreciated, even if I'm an infrequent viewer.

[@benlecluyse]

Insane GR Yaris ! What an absolute little beast !! 😜😜❤❤

[@MrJWW]

It’s a proper little monster now!

[@Big__Ry]

Stumbled on this video and what a great video that sells the gr to me even more

[@simonstorm5299]

What a nice video, go through the upgrade process all in one, can’t be better! Ben is brilliant.

[@MrJWW]

There is an episode two coming with more process! And then a first drive to feel the results! 😄

@MrJWW thanks for chatting today in Starbucks Edinburgh. Great chatting to you DDE and Matt

[@cj41079]

So glad you have a JDM and actually modding it. I love it ❤

[@MrJWW]

It’s so much fun! Nice to have Ben keep you in check on the essentials and not getting carried away too 😂

[@Evorkahn]

​@@MrJWWcan see you going all out once you have decided to mod a car, but is it necessary to have a lot of fun?

[@willporter2666]

How much did you charge them to work on the yaris? 😂

[@jdiddhjdjddh3583]

Best comment ever ! JWW sucking blood out of any business partner 🤣🤣

[@MrJWW]

Apparently in 2020 it would have been £25k but with inflation it would have to be at least £30k right!?

[@cliff4695]

​@@MrJWWnah mate, it's more like 35-40, if your inflation is anything like ours in the US. Seriously, why do we even have governments?

[@jdiddhjdjddh3583]

@@sashadog2323 and a joke not even rightfully inflation adjusted what a SHAME 🙈

[@ludda42]

Businesses have to decide what is beneficial to them. If a company’s offer isn’t good the other company can counter offer. They either find a deal that works for both or they don’t do business. Not sure why that is controversial

[@briangschaefer7048]

That was so interesting. Thanks Ben for sharing your knowledge. The Yaris is going to be next level James.

[@MrJWW]

Genuinely came away learning a lot - episode two coming soon!

[@cw5285]

Amazing! I have been waiting for more content with this beast! 💛

[@MrJWW]

Lots more to come too!

[@cw5285]

@@MrJWW if they were available in the states, I would buy one. Unfortunately not a big fan of the 4 door Corolla :(

[@richardschwarzbauer201]

So glad you didn't sell the Yaris immediately after collection like most of the other channels

[@stoneautomotive]

Enjoyable watch that 👍 having recently driven a GR Yaris I can believe the hype, look forward to part 2

[@Hamza-ez1my]

Love these kinda videos, it's all about the tiny incremental mods that make a massive difference when all added up

[@diDaN75]

Great content as always. Sending you a good vibes from the Philippines

[@Acquiesce77]

Love the seats they look so much better than the original ones! I bet when you put this video out you couldnt wait for the people that tbink they are funny to start commenting!

[@v9photoworks700]

Nice! I've gone for rally wheels too but Compomotives in gold. Induction, exhaust and tuning box fitted now too, cars a little rocket!

[@cephasmakuzva]

Awesome thing the team at String Theory have going on here. Very cool place and Ben explained everything perfectly. Im loving the GR Yaris journey. Transforming that pocket rocket.

[@michaelgakanga]

Whether it’s the Bunker or sth, your quality of video is great. What I love more than anything is how even modding is made in a cinematic style.

[@jonathancollard3710]

Excellent video; informative without any silly “yoouf laughter”; looking at you Matt Armstrong. As a GR owner, I’m tempted to talk to these guys

[@broskimedula5300]

17:33 nice to see Jack Grealish employed at String Theory.

[@pad3357]

Awesome video! Full of knowledge is that lad! Look forward to the next one.

Louis CK has really gone for it with this career change, but he knows his stuff!

[@HellcatDreaminJosh]

Mr JWW Awesome Video I think it's awesome that you're upgrading your GR Yaris for the Nurburgring Nordschleife and I think Ben Knowledge is incredible

[@stevofoz]

James and the team, once again proving they are the motoring channel to beat on KZbin. The attention to detail throughout the whole process, from video concept, through content, filming, editing and guest expert, are unmatched by any other channel. Keep up the exceptional work!

[@AWCCarDetailing]

Great video - String Theory looks awesome

[@lambrosstamos4494]

Going sensible is good. But going crazy is better. That is full Verkline and proper dampers. My pick would be BOS Suspension. This is getting very interesting. I love this little gem.

[@shepardman993]

Those rims are absolutely stunning

[@EVILGT]

The master at work 👌

[@johnoshea6113]

Super episode ! Really really looking forward to the drive when all the mods are finished....(with no chinesium !😅)

[@Danger_Mouse3619]

So what's all this add up to in money spent to get the final result? Can you tell us what each thing costs that you swapped or put in the car. Thanks

[@BurpleRX7]

That reminds me I really need to get back and see Ben and get my car set up.

Great car with all the right bits!

[@MrJWW]

Most importantly all the right knowledge!

[@markos8400]

GRY does go rally - Rally2. Many nice mods, good job! How come there is no torque mount / insert? Imo biggest GRY flaw + front bushings.

[@Metal05]

I love my O.Z. rally wheels as on my MS-RT!

[@jamesgaskin7757]

Seats look great but no good if you want to use the rear seats, do they have any options for that?

[@Big__Ry]

I really want to understand suspension more🤔 it’s always confused me rebound dampening and all the rest of the terms

[@wahash316]

How much weight would it reduce after removing and replacing the seats?

[@CarsTech240]

Awesome work James...ignore the haters....

[@MrJWW]

They were provided misinformation it’s not their fault 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@pugbrz9472]

@@MrJWW funny how you put the 'explanation' behind a paywall though Team JWW - honesty could have gone a long way. And a leader doesn't blame their 'people'. We can all accept if an honest mistake/misunderstanding is made.

[@MrJWW]

😅 RALLY!!

[@bobbyhar9670]

Great to hear Ben’s explanations, very helpful. I ordered an Akrapovic after hearing yours at Supercarfest. Am I right in thinking you haven’t swapped out the link pipe for the Akra Evolution one? Can you let me know the reason for this? TIA 😃

[@PanzerAttack72]

Great vid as always James. Btw, did gou stick with the same size alloys?

Yes same size 👍🏻 ride height is adjusted a little making them appear slightly larger and the transparency of the spokes makes the new brakes look huge!

Id have thought Mr JWW would have ran to a shiny new set of Ohlins finest.

[@MrJWW]

Taking Ben’s advice there is no real need - one of the reasons we ended up at String Theory!

[@stringtheorygarage2815]

We're trying to approach things holistically, rather than throwing all your eggs in one basket and changing one single area of the car dramatically, make incremental improvements in every area to REALLY improve the driving experience. It's the Porsche GT car formula!

Eibach white-label springs in the color white. I see what they did there. 😏
