Should I modify my Toyota GR Yaris? I tried out a tuned version which had an ECU remap for lots more power, suspension changes and a few even more important mods which I will reveal in the video. Or should I buy the new one? - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ

this feels weird after watching the facelift gr yaris video
@@alanberner6183what about facelifts from R35GTR?
Your picture of your face in the closing credits looks like the kind of temporary pass pictures when you signed in fancy buildings 🤓
10k upgrade, OK were not doing this, ordering a Porsche 911 GT3,: yes please!
Intake, exhaust and remap surely Matthew..............
If money isn’t an issue, definitely get the new one and upgrade the new one to Evolve’s package!
The new one's interior is such a deal breaker for me though 😭
@@fj717 Not for me, I think the slab of plastic is awesome. Very purposeful, very racy. Same essence as a Mk1 MX-5.
@@fj717hey it’s ugly but its more functional
Love the interior of the new one. Very practical, as an interior should be. A bit like an early 2000's Iveco Daily, turned towards the driver, I like it 😂
For 90% of viewers, money is an issue 😄
As a GR Yaris owner, I think the car really comes into its own with a few basic mods. Exhaust, seat lowering, intake and a rear wing really makes it look, sound and drive fantastic.
First and most important mod is the exhaust imo. Just get a milltek system, they sound great, really easy to mount, and much cheaper than this.
Not to forget the rear view bracket
@@ImNotHere4750 Not that important if you lower the seat imo, but I guess it depends on your height. Definitely a great mod if you keep seats standard!
@@Cernunn0s90 Did both in mine, but then again i did them at the same time so i cant really say which one made what difference. But after those two the car changed a lot.
crazy to think how well it handles compared to a bmw
@@hassyg4083this car that Mat drive handles as amazing as the Citroen C4 Concept Rally Car 2007.
+20 HP from the exhaust? Not sure about that.
I am sure. It's a lie. The same is about the intake. Evolve is a scam.
If the complete exhaust system was changed then I'd believe, afterall, the biggest flow restriction would come from the CAT and mainfold setup. But that much - if any - gains just from an axleback? I don't believe it without a dyno.
Yup, like Toyota would leave that on the table
Yeah 40bhp from exhaust & intake. 😅
I've heard those plush dice hangers add at least 50 BHP.
Have a HKS Legamax exhaust and the Eventuri on mine. Both intake and exhaust are essential mods in my opinion. Not fussed on lowering the suspension as love the way I can take speed humps without gritting my teeth worrying about the front lip and weirdly despite being 6’2” the driving position never bothered me but would love some Recaro CS retrimmed one day for purely aesthetic reasons. Imran if you’re reading these comments, the Eventuri is an amazingly designed intake and very happy with mine, so well done to all involved 👏🏻
Almost £1400 for an intake? It's about £1000 more than it should be, and that's being generous. Car modding has become a joke. It's more like jewellery, you're being made a fool of by swindlers.
@@bst857 GR tax! Don’t ever look up induction kit prices for other more premium and exotic cars as they are often double that and essentially it’s only piping and a filter
@@mugenmarkDon't try and pull the wool over my eyes, I know you can get much cheaper (and not bad) intakes for the GR, and I also know that Eventuri charge the same for the exotic intakes, its just that they usually need two intakes so thats why it costs double. If you want to spend that much then fine, but the truth is you WANTED to pay over the odds, but for some reason you don't want to admit it :D
@@bst857 Not trying to pull the wool over anyone’s eyes. I know it’s an expensive intake as I’m not sponsored by the brand and bought it with my own hard earned (ish) money and not trying to pretend otherwise. I’m just saying it’s a premium product and priced accordingly. I know there’s much cheaper options out there so the choice is yours. In fact I very nearly bought the Forge upper airbox which is considerably cheaper but I liked the look of the Eventuri more and it sounds good so I’m happy. The MST if you’re referring to that also performs very well but personal preference and all that.
I would love to see more videos of testing modified cars on the channel. Love that GR.
I also love those GR cars like GR SUPRA 2019.
Mat being brutally honest. The power gains are a bit generous
They are BS.
20 hp for both merely intake and exhaust without tune would suggest that the engineers for the gr yaris is wildly incompetent 😂
I think mat, best course of action is to follow your heart - the fundamental visibility issues can't be fixed with performance upgrades and a lot of the reconfiguring will make the facelift a better car further into the future - don't fall victim to buyers remorse but keep in mind how the facelift impressed you.
Imagine if the EVO IX also got a facelift like GR Corolla.
I hate how these body kits look like, they always look really tacky. But to each their own.
I like the spoiler though, should've came like that
Personally, I would do everything in my power to get the upcoming refreshed version for the new dash alone. It looks like an old school group b rally car dash and there’s nothing else like it on the market.
This car has similar engine powerplant like the Peugeot 908.
It‘s funny how different taste can be. The new dash would be the reason why I would never ever buy the facelift, no matter how good the rest of the car is.
@@Timmax95 exactly, toyota lost their mins in a bad way with the new interior looks
The new dash is the one thing that would stop me getting the new one 😂
Personally I hate the new dash , but everyone’s different I suppose
i think the new one is a better car in general. the interior is better, though i like these gauges from the ongoing model.
But i personally think the new GR Yaris is as great as 2002 Yaris.
For my GR
Eventuri - best mod as this really wakes the character up with the spooling turbo and dump values whooshes
Akra Exaust - 25kg weight saving and sounds great
Endless Break pads - great for track and massively improves stopping
Imran, loved his stuff since the E36 days so long ago 😂 cheers from Hong Kong
Do it mat and don't forget to bring us for the experience. would love to see what this all entails to set the car to your preferences.
On the road the standard suspension doesn’t need changing. It’s absolutely brilliant for British B roads out the box
GR Yaris...here in Malaysia, I just only dream and wish to own one. This modified one... Makes me cry.. brilliant
I love these collab videos!
20hp from an air intake upgrade and no other tuning? I’d say Imran is blowing smoke
Nah its actually dyno proven the eventuri intake increases the power, torque, performance on graph and incar feel
The spoiler and stickers make up 15 of those horsepowers
Your gt3rs is one of the best spec ive ever seen man...beautiful n classy
And If I were to modify a Yaris GR I'd only go to LICHFIELD to have it done..Ha !!
Sounds like the second gen GR Yaris solves a bunch of these issues, and is more robust for mods, surely the smart (if rather expensive!) way to go ;-)
Just do it Mat, it looks great💥
If you only invest in an ECE approved Miltek exhaust and eVenturi Airbox, you’re already a long way and the pleasure given by those 2 modifications is immense.👌👍
Thanks for the video and Stay safe ✌️.
I own a 2021 GRY and it has been a great fun journey, load of mods, always put a smile on your face. The facelift version performance indeed more subtle, Toyota do listen to customer feedback, 300hps with heaps of upgrades, etc. But I would not buy a MK2, for example if you own a tuned Evo6, you may not upgrade to Evo7,8,9
I'm looking to swap mine for the new model auto this time round. I didn't do any mods on my current GR4 this time I will be looking to do so.
Superb vid as usual. Leave it as standard! It's brill out of the box. Ok, i've fitted Automotive Passion carbon spats behind the front wheels but no drilling was needed.
Honestly that’s actually so nice
If you love the car and are keeping it long term I'd definitely do it. Makes it more if an occasion
40bhp from intake and exhaust, is the oe that restrictive or is this internet nymbers?
He’s only trying to sell his Rip off price products
That yaris looks epic
Get it done absolutely gorgeous
The lowered seat now looks too low relative to the wheel. All the air bags will be too high now, dangerous.
Not true, that’s like saying if you adjust your steering wheel it’s dangerous.
This is nice. Nearly bought one of those but decided on a stinger. I keep seeing modified cars. Let me tell you. Money will be spent as soon as warranty is done...
The 2024 moved the reverse lights because the exhaust would melt it 😂😂😂
Wing, exhaust and intake are the most essential. The rest of the kit is just too chav and the original ride height is great for the type of car it is.
Never seen the attraction of having your chin level level with the bottom of the window in a non-competition car. The Halfords chin spoiler says it all.
" Look !! An elf driving a car ! " Surely it would have gone faster if they'd sprayed the air filter purple (metallic) .
Glad that I watched entire video. Almost stopped after the first two "negative comments." Owner of car definitely a good sport receiving honest criticism or opinions without getting offended.
I’m sure Matt will sell the old Yaris and buy the new one.
Matt should try out the SAAB 9-3- T16 car once.
Matt dont own anything.. it just sound good to get more views....
Matt is dumb he should get the celica GRMN on pre order when launched
Ive Recaro sportster cs in mine,they slide and recline,best seats for these.
The piano black plastic extra bits look a bit Halfords, the suspension was perfectly tuned from factory so why change it. The car isn’t a stock fiesta 1.0 so why mod the engine, the Toyota engineers really did a great job on the car and the stock tune is just right. I do agree the exhaust sound does need a tweak but that’s about it
The new gr yaris is actuallt perfect. They fixed what they got wrong the first time, by listening to the people. W toyota
Love a crossover episode! These are my boys 🥲
As I’m watching , you need to test this car against a standard GR. 80bhp is a massive gain , I’d like to see this gain in the real world.
I haven't watched the video, but do you sell your gen 1 GR, ready for the gen2? I think that is how you make it better.
so lucky to be in uk, in spain the only model of rigid buckets that we allowed to put are the recaro pole, at 900€each one + other 400 of bases.... + homologation
That tuner guy makes very good impression!
You have to do head to head comparison, and based on the results you get, you'll be able to decide about the upgrade. Of course we get the comparison video.
owned an evo IX , for 11 years . now drive a yaris gr for 2 years and it similar for sure, an evo is more raw for sure but it has a similar character.
I have no idea about how much the GRY second gen with be. But one thing I can not unsee is the dashboard on it- it looks like Toyota ripped it straight out of a 1993 DAF truck, you'l be stuck looking at that all the time. I'd stick with the original GRY and do some tasteful mods.
Would look great in white 👌
The body kit is fanstastic. Theres something nice about the understated styling of stock but it just looks right with the wing.
I'd definitely change the seat 👌🏾... dont 4get, imran, had the seat set up 4 him self.
What a Humble Gentleman who just enjoys His ride thats what its all About
I will have the "new" facelifted one from the factory with the great retro dashboard, thank you very much (and actually I don't like LAUD exhausts)... and it seems like the steering wheel is sitting to high for the lower seat?
Just do the intake and the exhaust. Leave the suspension and seat alone.
Seat first, then exhaust, then intake.
all this car needs looks wise is two big round hella lights in the front bumper
Litchfield is the best place to take your Yaris.
Do. you think the new GR YARIS parts can be retrofitted to the old one, front cover - 3 pieces ?
The exhaust sound👍👍
That cold start sounds like I'd be crawling under the car with power saw lmao
There's 100% no way a little intake adds 20hp lol.
It´s not the intake that does this. It´s the car itself. The GR Yaris is rated at 260 HP from factory but even a stock one squeezes out around 300 HP on a dyno any given day.
@@XLargeEricthe guy said that the new intake added 20hp. He didn't say that when he dynos the car it's 300hp. And kike the OP said, 20hp by just adding an intake is a lie.
That Imran was talking horse 💩
@@bestcrazyboy8487 Absolutely! Intake+exhaust can not give +40HP. Emran lies.
The one in the video adds 13bhp and costs £1000+
I’ve got the open MST for £410 and it adds 10bhp so it was a no brainer for me..
Afraid I simply would not believe an extra 80bhp unless I saw it with my own eyes on back to back dyno runs against it as standard.
My guess,... 5ish bhp from the intake, 5ish from the exhaust.... 30 to 40bhp from a remap. Mat would have been blown away by an extra 80bhp!!
Can you honestly see the might of Toyota cocking up on some intake plastics to the tune of 20bhp!!
believe it these cars amazing when it comes to tuning potential most out of the box are running higher power than stated
So the poor Toyota engineers went through the engine with a fine toothcomb, & changed pistons & various other major components & all they gained was a 19 bhp increase for the Gen2...... & all along, all they'd done wrong was design some shoddy intake plastic mouldings that could have got them 20bhp... Come on! 😂😂😂
I didn't like the spoiler, it looked too busy but the rest of the kit looked awesome though I doubt I would spend money getting that done. I don't like the sound from the outside but it sounds bloody awesome from in the car which is what matters. All in all I'm a big fan of what he's done to this but I'd probably not lower seat at all being that I'm 2 inches shorter than him so my build would be a cheaper than his. I'd go for the power upgrades, suspension and leave the rest standard but deleting the nonsensical fake noises as he has too.
The spoiler looked like the 2006 FIAT GRANDE PUNTO.
I like the black one, if you should keep it stock i would just lower it, looks way better
get the new one, and give me the old one ;)
Great job Imran!
🥱🙄
Only sad thing about these mods is theyre approaching nearly 20% of the value of the car once you've had them fitted unless you can do it all yourself - cool thing about GR yaris is it feels special for £30k
Well I've got an f80 m3 that's got $40,000 worth of work done in aftermarket st7ff and I wouldn't change a thing about it
Some people buy and upgrade cars for fun, rather then go for a return on "investment"
If you keep the standard hardware everything is reversable for ot much outlay. All of those mods would resell easily.
Aa yes the rabbit hole that’s hot hatch ownership 😅,,do the engine tune and the suspension,nothing else imo
Perfect aside from the fact it overheats on track.
Yes matt u should do it to ur car
Eventuri: Like Litchfield, but for people with skin fades
The MK1 will always be the "original " one. The main "problems" are easily fixed... High driving position? There are a lot and cheap of lowering kits for the oem seat. Rearview mirror too low? For 20 eur you can buy a easily install a riser. More power? Intake, exhaust, remap...alone or in combination. In Japan they sell a kinto official upgrade with warranty for de ecu. From my point of view, there is no reason to upgrade to MK2 (that has also a questionable interior and also exterior)
The only thing needed is hopefully LSD cooling solution can be retrofitted to the mark 1.
@@idokwatcher2062there are cooling solutions already, better ones hopefully coming as well. But you'd only need those on a track.
How would this compare to the Litchfield tuned GR Yaris? Maybe we should find out 😊
Litchfield are professionals.
I love that car, drives wonderfully as is. I live in Suisse Normande and every road is like a rally stage so the higher ride height is actually a benefit... especially in the snow...In Short, I reckon that rear spoiler is a must,as is the Akram exhaust and engine upgrades, but I would leave it there lads.
"how much lower in terms of millimetres ?"............."two inches" 🤣🤣🤣
Imran definitely strikes me as someone that knows better than Toyota. He must have amazing engineering skills. I'm sure he took into account reliability!
Diffuser that is sloping down (instead up - expanding ) and no wheel vents, eq length headers?
Wondering Facelift room mirror can install pre facelift model?
After watching your vid on the New Yaris regarding the seat position and steering wheel AirBag..Won't the airbag in that modified car be aiming in the wrong place now the seat is 2inches lower..!!! Food for thought...Ha !
Hallo from Greece🇬🇷 ia am a huge fan
👀
Drag race vs the standard car surely!
That's the best advertising to sell your own car! 😂 You are going to buy the new one!!👍
It looks great, so there's that!
i love this car.
at this moment i own a renault megane rs 4 trophy.
im very interested in the new yaris gr.
i cant decide to sell the megane and buy the new yaris or just keep the megane.
cant decide.
So close to a fun driving road Barton-le-Clay to Hitchin (B655)
what an insult to the engineers who created this masterpiece....
Lichfield do a great set of updates
Gawd, that bodykit was last seen on a Fiesta in 1982.
So what now matt.
New group Yaris manual or auto ??
i would get the automatic version.
I call BS on the intake upgrade adding 20hp and the exhast adding another 20hp.
Same!
Same
Maybe with a map
My 595 with a big turbo sounds the same and the similar power and cheaper than the evolve conversion .?
The thing is Mat, you drove the new 2024 edition and was so excited by the new refinements/upgrades made and was thinking about POTENTIALLY selling your car and buying the new version. The extra money you could use to upgrade your own car than spending considerably more on buying the latest one
Get the new car, and do the intake and exhaust mods on that. The body and suspension kits look good, as does the wrap, but are all unnecessary. Not sure the bigger rear wing would look good by itself. You can easily tune the car for more power, and as the new car has upgraded engine parts, it's a better candidate for such.
Mostly liking the spoiler on this but the front splitter looks a bit flimsy.
We need a breakdown of every vehicle you own Mat, seems like you have about 20
Do whatever makes the sound better Matt 🙏
I feel like the wheels just look a bit too tucked in. Maybe wider wheels or a small spacer would make a huge difference
