The front grille was replaced with a metal net

The Toyota GR Yaris was put together with royal road tuning, including VARIS carbon aero parts, Rays TE037 limited edition wheels, and HKS intake and exhaust parts. The pursuit of speed, of course, has not been forgotten in the pursuit of coolness. The new GR Yaris (GR-DAT) is also scheduled to be introduced for the wife’s use, and this customization is also something to look forward to.

The limited edition TE037 6061 REDOT 2020 wheels from Volk Racing

On 13 April 2024, the “GR Yaris owner’s meeting in Tenryukyo” was held in Nagano Prefecture, Japan. Let us introduce you to one of the cars that has been tuned to a good balance in every detail.

Mr. “KAZU” lives in Iida City, Nagano Prefecture. He arranged the venue for this meeting and helped to liven up the offline meeting as a co-organizer. His previous car was a Nissan Elgrand, but as his children got older he no longer needed a three-row minivan. So when he was thinking about buying a new car, he bought a Toyota GR Yaris RZ High Performance First Edition at his wife’s request.

Mr. KAZU wasn’t too interested in the GR Yaris at first, but when he actually drove it, he was very satisfied with its power and maneuverability, and he chose the limited edition “TE037 6061 REDOT 2020” wheels from Rays Volk Racing with VARIS carbon aero and red lines in the same color as the body. The intake and exhaust systems were tuned with HKS parts, and the suspension was set up with RS☆R coilovers. He has no complaints about the driving performance, but he is planning to tune the computer in the future.

Now ordering the latest RZ GR-DAT for his wife!

The front bumper of the GR Yaris has a large opening to improve the cooling of the radiator/intercooler. This opening is fitted with a honeycomb-shaped cover, but it lacks durability and is easily broken. The mesh is also large enough to cause damage to the intercooler from flying stones. The honeycomb cover has been replaced with a metal grille net, which has become a secret boom among GR Yaris owners. The net is painted red + black clear to coordinate with the body color.

The GR Yaris underwent a partial upgrade in March 2024, and a new color, Precious Metal, was added. Mr. KAZU ordered an RZ Precious Metal 8AT for his wife (the store ordered a Volk Racing NE24). However, there is a long waiting list for Toyota’s popular models, and the delivery will likely be next year.
