looking slim Andrew.. well done mate..
Diggin the new hair style too
think you want to have a choc top with him.
The Endless MX72Plus pads are bloody awesome, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at how well they perform
Andrew, great to see ya taking such good care of yourself and really solidly representing your brand.
Cheers 👍
Knowing they bed the pads in I’ll now be buying all my pads from them
I can't wait to see the GR Yaris conquer Bathurst and keep up the good work as well.
Looking really slim mate, good job
Awesome weight loss Andrew,cheers from mozambique
I like the brake fluid level tip. Thanks!
MX72 are awesome a great upgrade on any occasional trackday car
Ultimate driver mod for a good driver= lose weight. Looking good, hope you're healthy and not dropping weight from a health issue. Thank you for the content and hope you're doing well.
I was also thinking Andrew was looking lean. Either Suzie is feeding him healthy or covid has stopped the late night maccas runs. Probably both
Andrew commented in a recent video that they have been under lockdown for 4 months.
gonzoe123 maybe they do lockdowns different in Australia. Americans on lockdown are getting fatter 😁
Andrew commented to a similar question recently regarding this, he said "eating less and cutting out the junk" or there abouts! My opinion he's doing really well.
Bro weight loss looking good
I've done quite a few brake jobs on my cars and done trackdays and plenty of bedding in, but I don't understand how you bed the pads prior to fitting!? I thought the bedding process was to match the surface of the new pads to the disc surface as well? Looking at MX72s for my RS5, has Pagid HPs from factory, really good on track and stayed good afterwards on the road! Hoping the MX72s will be the same?
Wouldn't you want to bed the pads to new rotor as well, not a rotor with pad material already on it?
Rotor is just steel. Main thing is it is flat and not warped
In regards to the the brake fluid reservoir level marks, not all vehicles are made equal. Some reservoirs are actually incapable of having the correct amount required for all the pads to wear low, and with less fluid, you also have less ability and less volume for satisfactory heat transfer in the fluid. The other issue is, front and rear brake bias can cause pads to wear at different rates, so if you're going off the level to determine pad wear, you could be in for a rude shock when 1 set has worn metal to metal, and in some cases the back plate falls out of the calliper, causing the calliper pistons to then be the next contact point, which then leads to direct heat transfer to the calliper seals. In some cars theses seals will actually melt due to this heat and spew the fluid out, potentially causing a fire. It's also not a good trait to get into, because brake systems can have seized callipers, where some calipers may retract and the other do not, which can give a false indication that your pads are wearing down correctly and this generally causes people to be ignorant and not take the vehicle to a service centre for inspection, sometimes dust covers and internals seals get damaged, and this is common on heavily driven offroad 4x4's, and this can cause leaks. Now if you only have half or low reservoir fluid, you only have a low to slim chance of getting that vehicle back to a safe spot to be able to be towed home, if the reservoir is full, you increase your likelihood of rescue. By rights, any fellow mechanic worth their qualification, will remove the wheels off your vehicle, check rotor and pad thickness, and check moisture contamination of the brake fluid, as the brake fluid is hygroscopic. For the average punter, this means that the fluid itself, actually draws moisture in from the atmosphere, deteriorating the boiling point of the fluid, affecting its ability to handle, disperse heat within the fluid itself. Never EVER assume that just because the fluid is between the 2 lines it's OK. Monitor the frequency of how often you are topping it up. If it's becomes more regular, and your driving habits haven't changed, you have a problem. Easiest way for any Joe blow to know. If the fluid is changing to a darker shade quicker and you have changed your driving styles, a full system fluid upgrade would be recommended, as the fluid isn't constantly being flogged near boiling point, and breaking down. Just a differing real world point of view from a 20 year industry veteran who's serviced thousands of cars.
Look at it this way
if brake fluid is low. Look at why
@@MotiveVideo more logical isn't it. But logical doesn't prevail in most people, they need it explained to them like teaching a 5 year old how to write.
Looking great Andrew, I noticed you have swapped the front rotors side to side to get the curved vanes pointing the conventional way 👍
Yep, I noticed that. it’s odd they run the oem the other way. I’m intrigued to know why.
@@adrianfairfield5520 The Supra's go the "normal" way , but its more a BMW than a Toyota....
I want those brake shield spacers so I'll be able to clean the inside of the front wheels with taking them off 🤣
Nice upgrades 👍🤙
I was about to say the same thing. Health is wealth.
please help me with the piston diameters in the stock GR brake calipers, both front and rear. thanks
I’ve only done short duration events in my car, so cooling ducts aren’t really needed yet. I’ve got some pads on the way and some lighter rotors. The rotors are for a reduction in unsprung mass to improve handling but, there’s also a reduction in rotational inertia, so the brakes will have less work to do. Did you consider lighter rotors?
We have considered it but believe money can be better spent at this point. Maybe in the future
Are Goodridge braided brake lines ADR approved? I remember years ago they were never certified (they were for DOT, but not ADR) and it became a sticky issue for anyone wanting to go all out on brake upgrades and still keep the authorities happy.
Great build, love the cool data. Im struggling every time I see just how bad those wheels look, particularly in grey against the orange wrap. 7/10 on the episode, down from 9 once i saw the wheels again 😄
All that's been established is your colour preference. Any advice on what colour is best? No, just a description on what doesn't work for you. I personally don't give 2 shits on the chosen colour of a car or if it clashes with the wheels.
yey love watching day job so awesome
love it
Did the dust shield delete shims work well? and were they very difficult to fit?
They work. Fair bit of effort to change as gave to remove lower arms off upright and take shafts out etc
I love your GR Yaris! How big are the brakes on the GR Yaris? Are they 12" rotors up front or the metric equivalent? What about the rear? I hear about how great the braking is and I wish we had it here in the states. I have to wait for the GR Corolla next year.
Great to hear you're doing Challenge Bathurst. Are you doing the Supersprint or the Regularity?
We are driving for Sparesbox and they gave us a regularity spot. For first time there that’s not a bad thing
@@MotiveVideo Fantastic! I'll be doing Regularity for the second time. You won't believe how good it is. See you in the garage!
80 km to miles is 50 miles, i went to school, to bed in brakes its 30 30 30. Guess for performance brakes bedding in its 50 miles?
did you guys pulse the ABS unit to cycle the fluid out that which doesn't get changed with the vac or manual bleeding process. I've been wondering how you go about that with the motec as it's usually done with techstream or other scantool
We spoke to Toyota and they said bleed as per normal
Now we’re out of prison can’t wait to see what this little jet does down the quarter
Us too! But the dragstrip is still closed due to other reasons 🤦♂️
any reason for the pad change from the previous eligs?
There is. Prefer not to discuss it.
@@MotiveVideo legit question, is it a performance issue with elig or something else. I was thinking of getting them instead of Endless
@@asalouros posibility that Lamspeed Racing is also the disti for Elig (friendly rival for Andrew) their GR Yaris development is just as awesome woth recent testing of Lamspeed's GR Turbo kit done at eastern creek
You are reading into it way too much. We always develop our cars to work as first priority.
How big are the factory front rotors in mm on that yaris?
gOoGle
I wanna get a GR Yaris but I’m scared that by the time I’ve got the money they’ll be so expensive since it’s a homologation special
Best way to make you car faster? Lose 20kgs. Well done on the weight loss!
Anyone knows the wheel specs? Gramlights 57C 17’s, width and offset?
18x9.5+38
65k car approx with 40k plus upgrades rrp will it end before 200k car rrp
Huh? You're way off. Was a 40K car drive away for because we pre ordered and it's more like 20K worth of mods

Let´s talks myths:
"rubber lines expand" - or course they do NOT!
pfffft brakes only slow ya down!! thought you wanted to go fast ;)
neat
Did Andrew loose weight ? Looks good, shame I'm already taken :( :D
Just don't confuse DOT 5 and DOT 5.1 fluids, DOT 5 is silicon based and not compatible with glycol based fluids.
There is also DOT 6, and newlines are also a great time to change fluid types if you are thinking about it.
Very surprised it doesn't come with brake ducts on the standard model , come on toyota.
It really doesnt need them in stock trim
In Europe it comes with brake ducts if you choose circuit pack option.
asdf
Project no secrets is now project no progress ☹️
It project mega expensive and waiting in the queue to go to the fibreglass shop we want to use. We TH-cam part time and build from a lot of personal money.
@@MotiveVideo lol should have just done the build over a year or two, film it all.. and then release 20min videos every weekend once the entire thing is done. Make everyone happy, make it look like it was done over a couple of months or something
@@MrLincoln87 Most builds in real life take a long time with a bit of progress here and a bit of progress there.
How come ur loosing weight
What other reason than to be healthier?
Makes the Yaris go faster, he'll be taking a mean dump before every session now too.
@@vongdong10 faster 1/4 mile times?
When you daily drive Japanese sports cars, you realise it helps to be a bit thinner to be more comfortable.
@@Usrfhr why is it that every genuine bride bucket seat fitted in Japan is basically anaemic size?
