I mostly just want that dark green paint. Very Lotus Carlton-y.
if it's the same as this one on collecting cars it's a wrap. wheels are disgusting collectingcars.com/for-sale/2021-toyota-gr-yaris-circuit-pack-2
What’s with these tools buying one then flipping, I know money, but swear to hell half the people would sell their mother to make a buck.
It's not a wrap, it's been resprayed in their paint shop.
@@garethod1634 And it's not even the same colour of green ! This is a lovely shade.
@@ZeeBri i dont think it s the inozetek midnight green wrap this one is not shiny as inozetek one. It looks more subtle more elegant i am diggin this one.
That British Racing Green is just 👌🏼
To me that British Racing Green was the biggest transformation of the Yaris, by far my favorite color out there!
This Yaris GR looks magnificent with this color ❤ 🔝💥🔥
regardless of the weather, this chap always wears a jacket and scarf.
Yeah, I really can't understand anyone wearing so many clothes to drive a car that has a windscreen, roof and heater. 🤔
It's his image!
The bearded egg is back!
He's just so cool😂😂😂
@@superseven7947 ha, I read your comment as end music was being played 9:18, seemed to suit the coolness.
The “rally wobble” is also my favorite dance move
You know it's a fair review when Alex has to admit he's not even sure if he'd go for springs or not. Only adds to my appreciation of Carfection.
He Kept referring to springs, but I thought it had a 2 way Nitron set up
@@garethholden301 I wondered the same. Need some clarification on that one.
Simply springs and dampers are changed ? Its pretty obvious
Welcome back Alex, hope to see more of you in future videos
Those of us living in North America look at this and just 😢😭
300 hp from a 3-cyl! Amazing
Ikr
Dunno, AMG got 420 out of a 4pot 🤷🏼♂️
@@Boomyboi. blaze it
Check out the Regera...
@@Boomyboi. A tuned GR Yaris from G Force in Japan produces around 400hp. HKS GR Yaris even produces 475hp (granted they're also using 100 shots of Nitrous, but still..).
A 420hp turbo 4cyl isn't that special if you think about it.
I really wish we got the GR in the US.
GR Corolla coming up!
@@basithph8958 we want the Yaris GR. Corolla and civics are getting too big to be tossable fun
@@762x69 still the Civic and Corolla is still fun for what it is nonetheless I'm happy to see that version coming to America
Nobody buys smaller cars in the US. Most sold cars are F-Series, Chevrolet Silverado, Ram Pickup, Toyota RAV4. US buys too much large barges for the Yaris to make sense over there.
@@mickwrinkles2318 sadly, you're right, but a homologamation rally car is where you may be wrong. Many of us would love a tossible rally go-cart of a car. Canadians included
Looks great in BR Green!
Honestly what a great presenter, he puts passion into it! Love watching videos when hes presenting it
He always reminds me of the guy Mark Corrigan shuts up at the book club.
😂😂 he's always reminded me of someone but i couldn't put my finger on who specifically. it's 'sleepy ben'😂
Brilliant episode.
Mines a large one, as you fkin know.
Amazing work A1Goy ! Very pleased to have you back 👍🏻
It’s awesome to see Alex once again, hopefully he does more videos alongside Henry’s. Both incredible motoring journalists.
This was an amazing review! Absolutely loved it
Good review. The modifications will suit a lot of people. Unfortunately the piggyback tuning box voids the 10 year warranty on the engine, so it doesn’t justify the 10% increase, for me. And I also like the extra travel and tarmac rally set up of the CP car, that’s what I wanted.
"My yuck could be your yum" takes the cake for me. Great line haha
It's a great line. I've only ever heard Louis CK use it, when he was talking penises. 'Penises are very disgusting to me. To me.
I don’t want to yuck your yum.'
Was at Lichfield a couple of days ago and saw this in the flesh. It's a stunning car and the green makes it, plus the new stance is so much better over stock.
Has jumped up on my list of buys 👍
It's great to Alex back on TH-cam again.
Glad this guy is back on the channel. Top chap.
Forget the car, you my man have an impeccable sense of fashion.
Get a room, 😂
That colour and the wider, lower, stance. Gorgeous
Alex! Great to see you on here again
Amazing. Also nice seeing Alex more regularly, he is brilliant.
I still can’t believe this thing beats an E46 M3 in a drag race. It’s really impressive how Toyota extracted 300hp out of a 3 cylinder.
Litchfield*
Surely after 100kph the BMW would smoke it?
@@md8590 nope. Bit less power, more TQ, less weight here
The Australians have got 470 WHP out of the GR Yaris with standard engine internals!! ...think about that!. And there have been rumours of a UK Yaris with 500 BHP?
Similar weight/power ratio but AWD, ¿what you cant believe?
Good to see you back Alex!!
The best bit is the green paint job, if it is paint and not just a wrap.
I'm happy to see Alex back. Great review, nice car and colour..😊
Alex is back! Awesome!
Good to see Alex videos!
The stance looks so much better and I love what they have done with the colour. So glad it is not yellow.
That paint is excellent.
That color is just epic !
I mean, surely with the £25k that Litchfield give you to get the upgrades, you could just sell the suspension after.
Is that a dig at jww? 🤣
@@DidierPeroni What happened lol?
I think that joke is past its use by date
@@JDMism He's still a pillock though.
MrJWW left the chat
😉
great review!
and such a perfect car, perfected.
sure would be nice if it was available here in Canada.
This guy is the best reviewer on carfection. That is all
I was expecting you review on this one. Love it.. the ultimate toy..
litchfield always tunes the coolest cars
Great to see Alex
Fantastic review Alex; you got to the really essential points at the end. I would be with you; stay with the more stock version and just thrash it as it comes....
He's back!
Great review... I'm thinking I'd go for the power upgrades and lowered seats and leave the suspension.
However, I'm wondering if the lowered seating position also takes a bit of that rally wobble feel away?
Excellent! thank you Alex!
So dang happy to see him back alongside with Henry, I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd kill for a review done by the two of them together in it.
Really enjoyed this one. Going over the changes and given your personal take on them is great.
Would like to know what music was used at the beginning of the video. It's rather uplifting and seems perfect for an inspiration or workout playlist.
Very very good review. I feel like you're one of the few that 'gets' what the car is.
Mine is staying stock.
Love the rear end! Can't wait to get this in the states
AFAIK we’re not getting it, are we?
@@sephiros9883 in 25 years 🤣
@@sephiros9883 Well, technically you guys in the NA market will get the GR Corolla which gonna have the same engine & drivetrain with the engine producing a bit more power to accomodate the Corolla's bigger heavier body
I'm dying to know what camera, lens and colour profile this was shot with. Just perfection!
Alot of people won't like this take but I'm not alot of people, after all that kind of compliance and tractability is what I'm trying to engineer into Pandora. great video Alex
Great , Great review 👍🏻👍🏻
Ladies and gentlemen, he's back!
Hell yeah !!!
At last Alex is back!!!! Another amazing, insightful and entertaining video.
Yes! More Alex!
We love you keep them coming
I Adore these cars, future classic easily
Good review. I have a base Red GR so this car would feel very different to mine. Love a drive of this Green beast but love a drive of a Rallye or Circuit pack.
May I ask how tall are you Alex? New seats look very low now. Great review as always.
@Carfection Alex, didn't you praise the suspension in your February article in GQ?
Excellent! review. Thanks
Like the A110, the base model is less capable, but better 😊
Great review! Interesting thoughts on the suspension. Only had a 30 mins test drive but if there's anything to improve, perhaps slightly 'cleverer' damping? Will leave that alone for a while. The green I'm going to shamelessly copy (with a simple wrap though).
Very good Alex….
The colour is very cool
Good video Alex
Love the colour 😍
Very sophisticated and nuanced take… better than most. When I get mine, in Australia, I’ll be getting a 255kW, 470Nm, induction, exhaust, chip combination… then deciding what to do with suspension. I suspect there’ll be serious coilovers, but I want to retain wheel travel, hence ability over rough, even dirt, roads, because this is Australia!
It’s not sophisticated. It’s a crude tuning piggy back box bolted onto a new engine. The ramifications for reliability down the road are complete unknowns, regardless of what Ian Litchfiled says. He has merely bought a third party box in.
@@gaycha6589 I was referring to the review…
@@ashokeb Ah, easily misread...
@@gaycha6589 Lichfield now to a proper remap. It took everyone a little time to rework the ECU properly.
@@invisiblekid99 when I called about my GR they were still offering the dtuk tuning box. Ecunot cracked. Unless this is very recent breakthrough?
The standard GR Yaris is fantastic on tight, rough UK B-Roads, the supple suspension and travel soak up the bumps brilliantly. The Litchfield car looks to be more of a tarmac-spec rally car, so still a rally car. :) It's great to have these options available.
I have a Circuit Pack GR Yaris with KW V3 Coil Overs and can attest to this. It definitely soaked up those bumps better before!! But it looks so much better now and feels a tad more planted on well maintained roads. The stock suspension is superb and I'd not change it if it weren't for the looks. And if you live in a country with bad roads I'd never do it anyway.
@@sveeny My GR isn't turning up till next year! I seriously like the stance of the lowered suspension. 40mm is a huge amount and did I mention I loved the stance, but yeah bumpy english roads. But I hear the Litchfield version is pretty good mannered on our crappy roads. So Im really torn. Lichfield also now do a proper remap and not a chip, so i will definitely do that, despite loosing the warranty (two year with Litchfield in not the same as 10 from Toyota). But it's a weekend car, so I think I can go with the lowering too.
@@invisiblekid99 Awesome! I just suggest you try to test drive one on those british roads first. Mine is absolutely crashy even on well maintained Swiss roads... Hope your GR will be delivered soon!
The gear box another great tommi set-up same in the Makinen witch I once owned and sadly miss
nice review
Nice color
Stand out review for me - and there's been so many GR Yaris reviews, Alex seems to always manage to bring sonething different. Reckon I'd go for the full litchfield treatment though
A bit of lean is fun. But agreed the power mod is needed, like the GT-86.
Well done Alex. A GT-R Yaris.
Bro! Black doesn’t look bad though!
Infinity intake and street legal Akrapovic exhaust.
That's all the upgrade she is getting.
Great to see Alex on the channel
do they offer a tan interior to go with that beauty of a green paintjob?
Point about the motor is valid; competition cars can make more sure, but the engines last how long?
Interesting. I was pretty much committed to contacting them for the suspension change. Bank Holiday and the car was loaned out so I couldn't test drive the demo. Now realise where it went and you have completely changed my mind with such a subjective view. Yes, that slight dip and roll is all part of what is enjoyable with the GR. Cheers!
Addendum. After 'putting up' with the ride decided to give the Litchfield suspension a go. Absolute transformation. Why did I wait so long! Again, appreciate your opinions, but on this one, you are completely and utterly wrong.
I am so pissed this won't come to the US. I want to pick up a more practical daily and this is the perfect thing. Very small, unique exhaust note, AWD, hatchback, and a stick.
Oh my
My favorite presenter 👏
I'm wondering how well it will go on over bumpier poor condition roads. I'd love to see a timed race on a bad bumpy surface between a Litchfield suspension modded only GRY and a stock circuit pac one.
Nitron equipped GRY gives far more confidence (having driven it and I own a stock one)
Would love to see a review of their M2 too.
Do Litchfield still have their own M2? I’d love to see a proper review of their Nitron suspension on an M2 competition.
I see this guy, I press like
That stance is much improved tho.....
I wanted one. I want one more
The GR Yaris has to be one of the best cars ever made!
Lichfield were an importers who did some impressive work modifying Subarus, GTRs came later. Dunno why I'm commenting that but there you go.
Alex! Can we see more of you man.
It’s a shame it’s not coming to the states
Yeeess, the BOLD MAN!!!
Getting this, if I ever move to the UK
You should move to Australia instead, the GR Yaris is also available here and it's much nicer
@@md8590 But I don't want to go to Australia and buy a Yaris... I want a Patrol Super Safari, and a V8 supercar :(
@@matta4513We all have a sick 4wd and a V8 sedan here in Aus. Every second car is a Patrol or Hilux here. Never heard of this Super Safari you speak of though
@@md8590 that is the "old" patrol. The Patrol Safari. you know, the 4800 VTC
Give me those lower seats and beautiful green paint and that'll make it as good as it can get for me
Nearly perfect. Can they remove the screen on dashboard too ?
It's the worse part of owning a GR Yaris
Did you know that you dont control what Litchfield does? Diva
the yaris GR rallye edition in Japan has no screen. the part number to remove screen and replace with a plastic tray is ref 55420A
@@joaocpneves1 do you mean the CVT model? Rallye is the Australian marketed ‘circuit pack’ or RZ High Performance
There's a part you can fit that moves the mirror back and up slightly apparently it is a huge improvement, it's not so much the infotainment it's just the tiny letterbox aperture you get in-between the two when one is moved it's brilliant and barely noticeable
I want a Yaris GR so bad.
Litchfield and Syvecs are working on a centre diff controller….full control over how much power is sent to the rear. That’ll change how this little car rotates around a bend on the throttle. Clever stuff!
This can already be achieved by a motec ecu kit
@@marcusbrady5011 it’s only as good as the Calibration. I wouldn’t know where to take my motec ecu to be setup for a GR to be honest. At least with Litchfield they can do everything in house if you want.
@@adamkelsall3942 watch motive DVD's video about the motec kit, the guy goes into detail about how the gr systems work and what they've able to program for performance changes.
Surely it's just a tarmac rally spec GR Yaris, it can still be a rally hatch
I can't wait to see what Papadakis does with this thing.
Excellent analysis and I agree with the conclusion. If Toyota wanted to do more, it would have done it!!
