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?

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.

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 👏🏻

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.
