You cut out the lateral return spring re-install. When I put a STS on my Mazda, that part was - BY FAR - the hardest part of the whole thing. It probably took me an hour all told to get it installed. At least half an hour of that was getting that fucking spring back on. I wonder if it's any easier here. It LOOKS exactly the same, so IDK how it could be easier. And you cut it out of the video, which makes me think that it ain't all that easy. BUT you didn't bitch about how much of a PITA it was, so...

Keep Pushing . I travel 35000 km a year .In Canada in winter . Plan to replace my current car with something fun .

I appreciate this video and your work! I have a GR 86 but in 2025 I plan on upgrading to a GRC as we plan on expanding our family and the GRC will ideally be my "family" car - I am quite eager as I have test driven cores and circuits. Truly awesome vehicle and I am glad it is serving you well. Keep it up!

Are you still running the billetworx short throw with this?

The rear lower shock mount bolt/peg is double threaded. Remove bolt first and then loosen peg.

How much higher does the billetworkz shift knob sit over the stock knob?

I have had my GR carolla since December 2023 and I love it. The only problem I’ve come across is with the headlights being too low which limits how far in front of the car the light reaches. It really deters me from driving at night cause it’s just unsafe . I have used the height adjustment switch in the car and they are up as high as they can go. I really need the highest position (1) to be midrange on the switch (3) my question is has anyone else had this problem and if so, have you corrected the problem and how?

Thanks for the vid. What is the company from Japan that you're looking at for the lip? That is something I'm looking into and want reputable options. Thanks!

Hey you got something special. Keep doing you

Would this fit the eventuri intake?

Watched your 15000 mile review and you changed my mind about getting an Elantra N. This vid got me to subscribe and start looking at a core GR Corolla with the performance and tech packages. I'm a 72 year old guy who had one of those Evo 8's for five years and still wants the speed and performance and the Elantra's wheel hop and just the lack of rear drive just made me hesitate. Your vids have pushed me over the top and I landed on a Toyota. I'm now looking forward to the day after Thanksgiving. Thanx Dave

Open intake is a joke and I’m not longer watching your videos

Love this video, my man, I watched your 9,000-mile video. I missed the 15,000-mile one, so I'll have to check that out, but I am almost at 4,000 Miles with my 2024 GRC Core. I'm absolutely enamored with it and can't wait to see how my love for it grows when I hit 30,000 miles like you. I appreciate you calling out because people have weird preconceived notions about the car or may even over-hyped it. It's just a very sexy, very sporty daily. It's a Corolla, but it has 300HP and a turbo. The interior must only be insane if you're willing to drop extra cash for the Premium, Circuit, or Morizo edition. I just got it ceramic coated with a 6-year warranty. I was surprised at the tire life you mentioned, and I will have to look into getting some new tires. I'm unsure if you've seen them, but the Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 would be an excellent tire for this car with the recommended size.

You see the new RS200 yet? Just got my GR last month, but I saw the RS200 announcement and damnnnn

I drive about 30k miles a year. Do you recommend as a fun commuter car?

Do you guys get all this for free? Or the owner is just swimming in money?

Isn’t the down stream O2 sensor supposed to screw into the bottom of the down pipe?

Naaaa buy a 2024 4Runner, deals are to be made! We all know they’re coming with their 4Runner turbo crap, and they can keep that made in Mexico trash

You see all this you DONT NEED TO REMOVE THAT!!!!!! 😂

So one question, I’m unable to perceive a difference between stock midpipe and 2JR midpipe, maybe due to mic. Is it louder? deeper? Cleaner? Has more pops? Has some higher pitches also?

When are you going to upgrade the audio system?

Seems like they are targeting the entry level enthusiast with these special editions. True enthusiast and performance drivers/racers want and can truly appreciate the drivetrain of the STI, but theres likely far less of a market for the top tier model when most people are just fine with a car that is $10k cheaper and still has power that’s in the ballpark of the higher end model. Their bread and butter is the wrx, and with so many other factors such as emissions, economy, etc it probably just made the most sense to drop the STI for the time being. I could be way off, but who knows.

Thank you! I'm considering one of these now that they seem to be available closer to MSRP, I drive a lot, and as much as I like seeing journalists fling it around a track, this is much more helpful.

The beard is absolutely killer

Are you planning on getting one for your car? What is your favorite/ best improvement mod so far?

what are you using to record bro. its crispy

High 30s? 🤣🤣🤣. Nah bro. These are gonna start in the high 40s

Yes like anything else we learn stop fucking complaining

So I want to add one of these to my car that doesn’t have auto rev match, is there something for that?

I read an article that Subaru may have sold less units with VB WRX in the US, they sold more units in Japan and Asia compared to the previous VA. I think problem with Subaru is facing is the STi's affordability. The WRX GT, TR, and TS already cost $42K. The STi would probably in the $50K range. I am pretty sure there will be an STi, but with current market now, I think Subaru knows its not the right time yet. Subaru will make sure that it will be able to compete and there will be buyers.

Wanting to pick up a Blue Flame 2024 Circuit Edition, I'm terrified of the forged carbon roof though. The owner's manual is incredibly strict with maintenance on it, and not having a garage gives me stress. I'm hoping a full ceramic coating would be enough to protect the roof from sitting outside 24/7.

The worst is Australia’s gets a club spec model that’s basically a tr with a spoiler

i think a lot of us would have accepted electric if it wasn't mandated / forced on us. it's such an offput when we are lacking / forced to have limited options. the issue i see with electric after all these years still is the cost.

@10:25 blazin hot absolutely facts, but just means we upgrade all of the cooling solutions on the fun car here in texas!

finally got around to watching this one as i'm about to do the lifted springs. fun times!! the orientation is an interesting one but i'm considering these in the future after hearing they're digressive as well. after not being in the game never imagined a 'streetable' coilover like this. i'm sold on the tech.

If you remember Evo9 started around 32k, and with all options and MR cost 38k ~40k in their last years, which was almost 20 years ago. In comparison E46 330CI cost 35k brand new. GR corolla starting at 38k in my opinion is bargain, especially if you look at how much golf R and Type R cost.

Hey thanks for the video and 30,000 update. Can I ask if that is 35% tint all the way around?

I'm at 20K now I'm mine just made a post on FB and Reddit. I'd be at 35K if I didn't rotate it with my Type R as well lol. I like your videos and I look up stuff constantly for the GRC since I basically live in mine with my job. I'll be catching up to ya but also crushed a deer recently so it'll be down for that. 😢

At 11k my grc needed 4 new tires. The back two wheel rims where replace and the alignment was also out of spec. Toyota warrantied everything after I told the dealership they could come get it. Went to 245s also.

Great POD cast! Keith told me about you....GLAD he did. About the Jeep..its a Chrysler product...their electronics...are suspect at best over time. I Agree with...knobs WORK.

How was the charge pipe install? Mine come in today.

Glad your paint is holding up. Flew down a few states and drove mine back. Nice big rock hit the hood with only 2 hours left of my drive lol. 300 miles with a good scratch already but just incentivises me to get the CE hood now 😅

Bro i run a restaurant and deliver 100+ person catering orders with this car regularly. It has good storage you just have to give up the back seats. if you build a custom mount you can move the battery to the right store it there; and drop a piece (2 pieces) of custom cut plywood and a rear seat delete and wind up with storage similar to a pickup. Add some cheap car carpet in black and bam it looks sick and is huge storage

OWAKI

Call me crazy, but I've had mine for less than a month, and I'm actually thinking about selling it and buying a Porsche Cayman or 911 lol. It's a great car, but I really want more.

Does this require a tune?

I’m confused why not just pull off the front bumper

I read on the website you don’t need a tune with this but idk better safe then sorry

It is so much fun. I've had mine since november and love it Did you get yours?

Super pleased to hear this. I have never done such a purchase. The stars aligned; a Core with the LSD showed up in Northern Maine. (with no dealer markup) I had a 2023 Subaru that was left to me recently. I feel very lucky.
