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!
@gaycha6589 3 жыл бұрын
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.

@michaeleaton5053 3 жыл бұрын
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.
@sveeny 2 жыл бұрын
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.
@invisiblekid99 2 жыл бұрын
@@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.
