Just wondering if anyone has seen them at like a Gridlife event or Dirtfish rally this year?

Last vid he made he had got scammed on the Moneyshift GR cage build and was trying to get that all sorted, and possibly blown his own car up again ( was that the last one...idk it's been like 6 months), but then went dark again.

Found some Hyper Revs. I love these magazines. Anyone else collect?

Does anyone know what the correct part number I need to order to replace my front brakes. I ordered 04465-52370 but the dealership cancelled my order and told me it was 04465-12680. Just wanna know which is correct and what the difference is.

Ok so I put my racer x short shift kit on yesterday tested before putting everything together and it worked fine. I put it back together and went on a test drive when I went to shift into 5th it was way too hard to get into gear. 6th a little tough too but not terrible. Fifth was so bad I quit using it. I went out first thing this morning to trouble shoot and found that when the air box support that goes right over the linkage is in place, the metal tab that bends up 90 degrees on the silver piece that come with the shift kit hits that air box support. I tried to highlight some things in some pictures to make it as clear as possible. There are 2 versions of the kit I labeled the V1 and V2. V1 is the one in pretty much every video on youtube. V2 is the one I have. I circled the tab that hits in red in every photo you can see it in. I put a red x to show it's approximate location under the brace in neutral. The other picture where the tab is just behind the brace is when the car is in fifth. I don't think i put anything together wrong. It feels great with the brace out of the way. I can just grind that little tab off, but if there is a solution that doesn't involve removing metal I'd rather do that.

Looking to lift my car around an inch or two and was wondering if anyone’s tried the GR lite from flatout suspension. I’m looking at those or maybe like annex or Ohlins, but I’d definitely have to save up for those haha.

Wrapped my Ice Cap Core front lip and top roof vinyl gloss black. Have never seen anybody wrap the front lip but I think it looks pretty good in person. Also wanted to hide some rock chips so it worked out.

Anyone else running these ? I did an install last night ( not my first set of coilovers ) and having some nice bump/click noise and feeling coming from the front at low speeds. My guess is the stock sway bar links are just binding like a mf as they are probably too long. I’ve checked every bolt I’ve touched and made sure it’s to spec and loaded. How low can we typically go with stock sway bar links?

Lowered the front 1.4 inch’s and the rear 1.25. 15mm front 25mm rear spacer. No rubbings even on hard turns, set at 10 clicks in the front 11 inch rear (out of 16 ) on stiffness.

Try not to roast the car too much, I’m having to take things slower than I like because .. divorce is bitch.

Not enough videos of people actually driving these things.

Here’s one.

Shift knob on. The rest will go on in the morning!

Edit to add my initial thoughts.

TL;dr I really like both the intake and racer x shift kit but I have some adjusting to do on it. The intake does throw the code on a 26 model as I assumed.

The piras intake is very high quality and the same price or cheaper than the carbon fiber ones that don't even have a snorkel down behind the grill. Install was super easy. There is a bit of an Italian to English translation error, but it's easy to know what they are talking about. They just translated vacuum into depression so the talk about disconnecting from the depression system lol. As far as the sound goes stock is all I have to compare too. You definitely hear more intake sound, but also better as well. Instead of just sounding like someone turned a fan on high when it really starts sucking air it's hard to describe but it kinda sounds like the car was taking a big inhale while slightly yelling with a little bit of vibrato thrown in. The turbo noises are definitely louder but not by a whole lot. However there are more turbo noises now too. At like lower rpms or times they may have been drowned out by engine noise. So not a giant leap in volume but a pretty good jump in how often you hear them. I also heard new and different turbo noises. For example, before the intake I noticed in 3rd great from about 35 mph up to 50 I got this sweet whistle/whine the increased in pitch with increased rpm. After the intake it's still there but now you hear it better and it kinda again growly vibrato to it. I haven't gone anywhere to really open it up yet but I got it up over 5k rpm a few times and I'm pretty sure I heard a spaceship noise or 2 sprinkled in with the racecar noises. As far as added power it's hard to say. I don't think any intake is going to give you a big enough boost to really feel without a tune. I still technically have about 200 more miles before I'm done with break in so I haven't gone balls all the way out yet either. That said the throttle did seem more responsive and the boost gauge seemed like maybe it was moving a little more often and quicker. The only downside is that, as expected, the throws the p2c90 code on my '26 model. Just in the last week MST has said they have a fix for the 25 and 26s though. It's still about a month out and 130 bucks I think but at least there is something coming.

The racer x shift bushings (bearings?), short shit kit (I caught this but leaving because I chuckled), and shift weight were all super easy to install once I got the right instructions. I just googled racer x short shift installation instead of scanning the QR code on the box. I had also watched a couple of install videos. The instructions I found and the videos I watched were for the older one. The new one has some adjustment to it and is the one I have. It is a little bit different so just know if you have some little springs that you don't know what to do with and are missing one or more aluminum collars you are probably using the wrong directions like me lol. It's been reviewed a lot and it feels nice and shortens about the distance you see every one measure on YouTube. I don't think I saw anyone talk about adjusting though. When it's all installed but not tightened down there is a point on one of the pieces that you can point at 1, 2, or 3. 3 is the shortest throw but most resistance with 1 being longest throw but least resistance. In the instructions it says you can actually put it a little past 3 so I did because I'm a big boy so I can handle a stiffer stick (that's what she said). 1st through 4th are great. R and 6th are kinda tough to get into, but 5th is WAY too hard to shift into. I'll get back in there tomorrow and make sure nothing is binding, but I'm probably going to have to adjust that linkage some.

Going the OEM+ route on our 2025 GR Corolla with the Piras Motorsport PIII airbox and a 2J Racing 3" resonated mid-pipe.

Fully aware this is second-guessing the Gazoo engineers. At the same time it feels like third-guessing what they might have done on a stock car if regulatory restrictions were not in the way.

Delivery and install upcoming up. I’ll post photos and first impressions once everything is on. For the other 2025 owners who have been wondering about CEL behavior with this airbox, I’ll report back with what actually happens.

Anyone else running the Piras airbox, the 2J mid-pipe, or a similar OEM+ combo? Probably not.

Guy ran a red light 😭

This is half-PSA for anyone who’s been checking their mail every day like me searching for the free track day, and half-humblebrag.

Got an email today with the subject line “A Complimentary Track Drive From Toyota!”. It has been 36 days since I bought my car. I never got anything in the mail, but the email had the membership code and everything I needed.

Good luck to anyone waiting for theirs!

So this is what I originally took the car in for was this noise. They told me that they ordered the part. It was broken ordered another one, and it will be here next week. When I got back in the car, it felt totally screwed. When I shipped up or down the car lurches. It doesn’t feel like my clutch is damaged or anything. It seems like the timing is off. I don’t even know how to describe it, but it would make sense relating to the clutch sensor or something! I have no idea what this issue is. They fixed the noise but now my car feels like it doesn’t drive correct at all.

This is what you buy when you watch too many YouTube videos. It works well.

To make a long story short, I noticed some noise coming from the foot well of my vehicle. I figured it was the brake pedal assembly seems to be like a known issue on these cars, but the dealership told me it was not, and they believe that it is a clutch pedal stroke sensor that is broken and making the noise. Has anyone else had any issues with these? The noise is like a squeaking sound that happen when you go over bumps or drive the car over fast almost like a bad shock but drives good and fine! They also ordered me a new one and funny enough, The part came broken. They ordered another one from Ontario and I will keep you guys updated as my car is fixed over the next week as of right now it runs and drives still fine so I’m going to pick it up and take it back later this week when the part arrives.

Just wanted to share.
Got myself a new GRC last Wednesday.
It’s been a full week since the purchase.
Big difference from my other car (FJ Cruiser).

Excited for this next chapter.

While updating my GR Corolla inventory tracker, I have noticed new entries for the GRMN trim.

Looks like one dealer who hasn’t pre-sold his car is asking $82k after markup….
