Being able to do this was kind of a deciding factor to me pulling the trigger on this car last week. Thank you mate. Have everything in this video on the way currently lol
I'm glad it was helpful...absolutely one of my favorite mods!
This is some of the best GR Corolla content on the web, but could you spruce it up with some gravel-slinging burnouts?! lol
Thanks!
Thanks !!!
I ended up putting a subwoofer under the back where you put the spare, so I guess I'm SOL on getting a spare lol. I love that idea for a spare and it looks like it turned out great!
For my project the sub box is a hair too thick so I had to put risers on the bottom of the foam to lift it up ~ 1/5th of an inch. It would've been perfect but the floor is super uneven under the foam.
I have that same air compressor on mine except when I bought the car it didn’t come with it so I had to buy it separately, but it’s the same exact unit. I’ve used it a couple times on bicycle tires, and things like that as I haven’t had to air up my Corolla‘s tire, no scratch that I’ve had to do that one time but it worked flawlessly that little compressor I’m really happy with it
That is good to know that it works well…Thank you for that input!
Thanks for documenting this in a video, & items list. I really don't back this idea of "weight saving" & removing the option for a spare tire especially for a car enthusiast's leaning car
I agree, 100%. Even if the company took the route of jeep and Ford bronco… And just offered a bunch of their mods, it would be nothing for them to make up a new pad for the back and throw spare tire kit together.
Although I wish they would just redesign the Styrofoam support to except a spare if you want to put it in.
I just stumbled on your channel, but please keep it up. I also have a GRC, and it’s great to look at what other options are available.
will do this set up next year before a 2000 miles trip lol
This is a great idea I am probably going to watch this video again and copy you :D
Thanks for the Idea!
Clever! Great video!
Thank you!
Amazing video.
Thanks!
I definitely gotta do that to mine...
It’s great piece of mind…
Great video I just subscribed!
Thanks for the sub!
Excellent attention to detail. I did a template (21"?} for the cut. Just gave it to a local Toyota shop tech who just bought a Circuit like yours. The spare tire thing gets me, heck at least the option of one. My girlfriend isn't buying a Corolla Cross hybrid because of that. Thanks for posting
Yep…I think modern spare is going to make a lot of money of this new trend. At least the Corolla has a place to put the spare. I had to strap it to my back seat in my model Y. Lol.
I was with you on trying to get the tire to fit. Tried a couple times, then put my heart into it, snug. Went for a short walk in the neighborhood this morning and saw a 2" woodscrew patiently waiting for a tire. Good work on your video.@@Springtailsolutions
500$!!!! For a tire! 🤯
from a performance perspective yes you are adding weigt, but gaining peace of mind
Agreed
Do you have a link for the loop /bolt you used for the tie down
I’m interested as well, thinking about doing the same myself
Do you need hub centric rings to fit with the spare tire?
It did come with a hub centric ring….However, hub-centric rings don’t carry any load and are not required for a secure installation. Wheel centering rings to ensure a perfect bond and minimize the chance of higher speed vibrations (which you won’t be doing on a skinny spare tire).
How much will it mess up the diffs? Or is the diameter pretty close to stock ?
The Modern Spare is 25.5 inches in diameter and my 235/40R18 tires are 25.4 inches....so no, not an issue in my case.
what if you store it flat ish with like 15 PSI and keep the compressor at hand
They do make compact collapsible spares....but this is not one of those. So it would not make a difference if you took the air out as the tire would not be smaller.
15:28 Put away in the winter??
I've got a Yukon, a Bronco and a Landcruiser....yes the Corolla gets a break in the winter time
Personally I would have only have done this if the Toyota repair kit proved inadequate.
Perhaps Toyota went with the repair kit for weight savings since this is a high performance car. But I would say they should have provided the spare anyway. If an owner takes the car to a track to race it they can simply take the spare out.
I hate that new cars don't come with spares.
Just voided the warranty! 😆
Only on the entire drivetrain 🤭
What size is the bolt you used?
M6
@@Springtailsolutions Thank you!!
@@banimanFJ That bolt size didn't work for me. The size that did was an M8x1.25 x25mm
@@brinho109 I appreciate you adding this! Thank you.
Should have been named GRRRolla
