May ir may not be an option

Good to hear

How old are Camry and 95s

@@RomanPyromaniac I've never had a misfire (at least that I know of or have noticed), but the injectors being replaced on both of our cars and not fixing an issue that was seen as those being the problem is concerning.

@@discipline3318 maybe, maybe

@@boiipauly I definitely miss driving the car 🥲

@@shift6131 🤣

@@januaryandonGRC appreciate it! I am hoping something gets figured sooner than later. I do thoroughly love the GRC, though, so maybe a 2025 if it comes to it

@@DontForgetOldKolobok lmao 🤣

@@richardjfarley sorry to hear they didn't help you out at all. Toyota has been pretty good to me, fortunately, but this situation is just unfortunate for my car.

@scotturich thanks, Scott! Hoping that Toyota can get this figured out sooner than later, but I do plan to go with a lemon lawyer in the next week or two if nothing new comes up. Good luck with your stuff as well! Your situation sounds really bad

@r6erik I think that a good amount of techs know what they're doing, but they do have a large workload that can take away their focus. Regardless, you're right that the quality has been seemingly declining over the years 🫤

I wasn't going to play that lottery, so I bought the parts and special tools necessary, and did the Honda steering recall work myself on my car, paying out of pocket.

I wouldn't necessarily second guess the GRC as these situations are seemingly unfortunate cases for mine. As I mentioned in the video, the majority issue could be dealer induced

Nooo this video wasn't mean to dissuade you from buying oneeee

@SethKnows totally agree! I still love the car and would love to have another one or get this one fixed. I have mentioned it in all of my videos that this isn't every GRC as every car has issues of some sort, especially first MY's. I have just unfortunately run into the most issues and openly documented them. I am currently perusing other options for cars, but a 2025 GRC is still on the list as well 🙂 the CTR is never a bad pick either

@@AustinDowda hopefully will hear something sooner than later

Right? Can you believe this asshat just beats on it. It's a Toyota, not a racecar. Sage advice, bud. Hope someone will listen.

Autox/track is hard on the car but does not necessarily cause all the issues he's going through (especially on a brand new car). Also, high G's don't cause seats to become loose, vibrations and insufficient fastening torques do.

@@alex_tanakaidk if it can contribute but, he was also doing RallyX. With all the dirt, gravel and rocks being through around there is a small chance it can contribute.

@steves282 don't use a car as it was marketed for, noted. I'm sure someone will take your brain dead advice someday 🤣

@296player it doesn't contribute, especially considering i only rallyX'd once and it was well after the issues had started

@@Car00071 lol, we shall see what happens 😉

@@happyhills_garage haha I reached out to you a while ago on Instagram. I almost bought a ice cap CE, but it got stuck at port for 3 months so I bought a integra type s lol

Ohhhh I remember that convo! How's the car?

@@happyhills_garage dude I love it man! 44k miles FBO big turbo. Cars been killing it!

@GR_FIRERARIZZ the paint is definitely mediocre lol. Hopefully the upgrades you plan on doing will be to your liking! A short throw shifter would be nice

@@Timlikescars89 thanks!

@@AdamSayre i have a feeling that the backordered parts aren't necessarily (though absolutely still could be) Toyota's fault.

I had the clips break to 😢 I didn’t want to deal with dealership drama I personally drilled 4 holes and zip-tied it 😂

@GR_Papi you know you did it right at least lol. Or at least in a way that works

@@happyhills_garage it’s as right as I can get it. You can’t notice the zip-tie unless you’re actually looking for it.

@@GR_Papi nice!

Stop tempting me...

@ you know it makes sense. Plus it’s far more reliable than your new GR. LOL

@@tigermack give him a good deal

@@etacks1 we aren’t rich to do hand outs lol

@@tigermack lmao!

It is a night and day difference! Glad you were able to get your issue resolved under warranty, and that is an interesting one too.

You can use the shocks, just not the springs. I don't believe the new shocks will work correctly with the 23/24 springs, but only time will tell. There have been a lot of us that put in letters this past year, especially after Nats, asking about going back to DS. Nothing has been mentioned about the GRC in the past few fastracks, so my guess is they may say something in 2025.

eh, it’s kind of a grey area, since the 25 shocks have an added rebound spring inside the shock body. Do the rules not care, do they consider that a spring, do they consider that a bump stop? That’s the clarification I’m after.

As long as the shock can mount the same as OEM, there isn't an issue. That's why MCS' are allowed with all of the damping adjustments and stuff, cause they can use the same OEM spring and mounting technique.

I think communication between key stations is definitely a big factor in making these events go smoothly.

It is AWD, but it is also naturally aspirated. So there is some leeway there to having the FiST be competitive against it. You also need to remember that the WRX is classed in GST as well haha.

@@907thpeterson there are a few AWD cars already in STH. WRX Forester XT TT quattro Mazdaspeed6 Lancer Ralliart Eclipse GSX Mk6 Golf R Saab 9-2X

Would be cool to see more Mazda platforms out there again for sure. And thanks! Got a few plans for 2025 so hoping to grow more haha

@GR_FIRERARIZZ honestly a good idea to do this. I will probably put that on the list to do sooner rather than later. I have definitely seen quite a bit of talk about the flashing on the rmm's over the past year. I did end up getting a spare eventually, and it does seem to be normal for them to have slight deformities for the flashing in the section that has the gap between the metal. But, regardless of the flashing looking like that from factory, the motor mount that I had replaced under warranty was the cause of my symptoms, and the techs did say it was seemingly defective when they tested the mount itself and with driving the car before and after replacement. Maybe the wear was induced more cause of autoX/track stuff, but so far, the new one hasn't given me those symptoms.

@@DennisBoyko-n7d using as marketed* fixed it for you 🤙

I'm not joking when i say this lol, a local O'Reillys resurfaced my rotors. I was skeptical at first, but they were able to do it. And many daily drives, autocrosses, a track day, and rallycross weekend later, they are still holding up great!

@RuneRavenX if you're referring to the slide pins, you're probably right lol. I had the same thought afterwards, but they look fine right now, so no harm, no foul.

The GRC is a fantastic car. Don't let this situation necessarily deter you, and no, they don't catch fire often at all. The clutches being defective seem to be mostly for some cars in the '23 MY, or at least built in '23. I know many '23 owners that have more miles than me or have done the same amount, or more, of autocross/track stuff that I have done with the car that haven't had the clutch issue yet. As stated in my videos, the new clutch that Toyota put in (or maybe even the new throwout bearing) has the clutch system feeling significantly different and better in every way. This being said, I am still getting messages regarding both '23 and '24 clutches go8ng out the same way as mine, the majority of which are just from daily driving. So these are isolated incidents, but still cause for concern.

@happyhills_garage I'm gonna hold off for a couple more years. My current corolla was rust sprayed. Before it saw 1 candian winter. The car is so reliable. I'm sure toyata will work out the issues in the future models.

@worer850 honestly not a bad car to hold onto haha. Especially if you are keeping up with the maintenance, especially in cold climates like that. I don't blame you about waiting for another gen or two either. I think the 2025's worked out quite a bit (bit not all) of issues from the 23 and 24s, though.

@happyhills_garage 2015 S 240k The only thing that has gone on it is the drivers side rear power lock doesn't open from outside. ... but I never use the back seats, so lol I won't buy anything but toyota. Ny precarious was integra gs. 98 built in Japan. Another super reliable car 👌 had 420ks.

@@jimsgaragetoys Sure, their tools are consistently calibrated compared to the majority of ours, but the nuts moved about a quarter turn or so before fully torquing. That seems pretty substantial either way. Not to mention that practically every GRC owner I know (at least in the AutoX community) have them the same way mine were. Hell, I even think they are loose again cause I hear squeaking around that area now. Could be something else, but this is going to be the first thing I check. I only talked about and primarily showcased the strut top mount nuts in the video, so yes, the 37 ft/lbs of torque is for the 14mm nuts.

@@happyhills_garage I was picturing that you got a 1/4 turn on them before you heard a click for the torque. This could be that they were torqued properly but the torque wrench was different. Hard to say without seeing exactly what you saw and felt. I checked mine and they were fine. I should do the German torque of Gut-in-tight and see what that torque reading shows. 🤣

Dress up bolts! It's the small things sometimes. It might be something only I'll ever see, but it makes the car feel more special.

@kameronrachell1521 absolutely! As long as you like how the car looks or feels, nothing else matters

Maybe cause the video is an install video? 🙃

Technically they're crash bolts lol, but you can buy them from Toyota's parts site. I believe I have the link in the description of the video.

It doesn't pop a code unless you have a pinched line during installation or have an aftermarket intake system. True, there is very little oil that gets caught from normal driving, but that is apparently true for all of the catch cans for the GR Corolla from friends I've talked to

I've gotten mine to start depositing after taking it to the track 5 times. It isn't much but it's working. I cannot get the P2C90 to go away, even after replacing the line thinking it was pinched. I really want to figure out how to program the computer to ignore this code because it comes on every 2 to 5 times the car turns on after a few minutes of driving.

Absolutely

@happyhills_garage cool

It is absolutely not tuned lol. What you have to do is: 1. Make sure it's warmed up, and 2. Press the clutch in, then rev it! (May have to put it into an gear while the clutch is in, but i think it works in neutral as well 🙂)

Definitely do! They changed the parts for 2024 and are rolling out a bunch of manual transmission part updates for the 2025s

Were you able to have it replaced under warrnty/reimbursement? That is way lower mileage than mine was at
