Is the new GR Corolla really worth the Hype? The Good, the Bad, + Track testing!
Following the success of the GR Yaris, the boffins at Gazoo Racing have released the GR Corolla.

      Check the video at 12:01....it's spliced into the 12V output from the steering wheel centre.. This is the way the company suggested it but make sure your battery has been disconnected before doing anything around airbag wiring. To be clear, do not touch the wiring that goes to the yellow plug....this is airbag only.

    I admire what Toyota have done with their GR range but for me when it comes to looks it comes across as trying too hard much like the previous Type R which looked way over riced, for me these GR cars look too riced. When you talk about whether certain cars are over priced now the answer is yes they are but when you want something like these then unfortunately that’s what they cost. I’m more an Audi fan and my RS3 makes these look cheap so if you’re asking if the Corolla is overpriced then have a think about what a hot German car costs lol, one thing I will say I prefer most about my car over these is that Audi made it look tougher without going over board, they pumped the guards out to make it fatter without bolting on stuff like the Corolla in the rear, I do like the front of the Corolla though but if I was looking for a hot small car in this price range it would be the new Type R

    Love mine almost had it 1 year now. To help keep those wheels clean auto glym wheel protectant spray works a treat, dont miss the centre console good reason to take less sh.t in the car. Im a corolla enthusiasts if you look at any of the "hot" version in the past the look has been subtle like you have to look twice eg SX had a small little boot extension on the seca and slight extension off the roof on the hatch and slightly different bars front and rear but tha 1.6l 4age magic, the levin sportivo only had one colour a slightly bigger wing and wheels then the standard levin of the ae112 7afte little bit underwhelming but im glad it exists, sportivo only had extensions on the front bar and side skirts no wing and again singing NA marvel 2zzge so the fact the gr has a wider stance and the bonnet buldge thats tastefully exicuted with a turbo awd setup a wing would be un toyota hot corolla if you catch my drift. Is it too quiet maybe a little but its a more unique sound then the i30N and the civic type R and the golf gti/R i hate those obnoxious poping exhausts

    • @frax77
      @frax77 Před 2 měsíci

      I did find the transmission doesn't really like being cold. I used the AMG screen to monitor the temps and let it warm up a bit before asking it to perform. From memory it's a fairly agricultural gearbox, so I'm not sure we should expect the refinement of some if the later Mercedes fleet. But to answer your question, I never had any issues with the transmission in terms of faults or breakages.

      Actually, servicing is not that bad as it is a high production engine. Some places still slap on the AMG tax, so shop around. 👍

    I know this is an old video, but we just picked up a 2006 Mini Cooper S. Been looking at this exhaust, but I’m interested their race version. I can’t find a sound clip of it to save my life. Every CZcams video is of the sport version 😔

    Mine is a 87 944, I believe the mirrors are different. But how do you get them off from the door itself?

    • @frax77
      @frax77 Před 7 měsíci

      Swivel the mirror outward (or inward, I forget) and it should reveal the securing bolt.

    • @hmayerv8
      @hmayerv8 Před 7 měsíci

      Ohh that easy. So if I buy new or used ones, it's that simple to just swivel and tighten the bolt. Someone along the way modded another type Porsche mirrors but do not know which model. I do not know how to attach photos to show you

      Just message my Instagram. The only other consideration is the wires that control the electric mirror, but it should just be a plug connector.

    Sorry but have a mini of that series, 04 supercharged and that exhaust is mild. Nice looking on a car show but not really delivering performance

    Hi Mate, many great improvements. Iam in Perth as well and have had Phil work on a few of my cars, he’s a gifted gentleman. Sad to see the car go. I am looking at getting into a rs3, thought I might start with the older PFL model? Love the sound. Would love to hear your thoughts on the pros and cons rather than than the face lift model. Cheers. Dom.

    • @frax77
      @frax77 Před 8 měsíci

      Thanks mate, don't worry, something special is on its way 😉 If you can stretch to a FL there are some key advantages, such as engine block material, digital dash, and potential.performance from upgrades.
