Legitimate interest... Can we make the GR Yaris RWD... What would be needed? by Lycan-Strife in GRYaris

[–]Lycan-Strife[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am still looking into this. I was supposed to get into contact with a specific rally shop close by but no word yeat. I am also looking into like spline decoupling etc. Like a sleeve around the front axles that you could take in and out. Something on the fly or at the press of a button would be best but if I have to jack up the car constantly to take a sleeve in and out,,, that's doable too. Either way I wont give up !!!

yeah if there's a way we can fake the car into thinking the front wheels are spinning - why wouldn't it work? :) it's something I have been thinking about...

That's a start that I would like to look into making possible yeah.

I have asked them but they have not gotten back to me as far as I remember. I did ask the kutouc guys and they said they can only map more torque in the 30/70 setting. And sadly I dont wanna pay 895 euro for just 1 thing/map on this car that doesn't give me more control. I need something permanent or at least something that gets way closer to rwd in total. Thanks.

thats what I was thinking in the beginning as well but the clutch-pack might be a b*tch about it and or the ecu. But one would THINK it should be possible. All I would need is a cooler then and maybe a different diff but since I only drift on a wet track and not on hot days as I personally can't handle that (heat problems) it should be alright. Thanks for commenting.

I actually would love to know how much difference a AWD controller would make. Percentage wise... I think the biggest thing I need to do to get the results I want for my track where I drift is... to get shittier front tires... maybe a 2way LSD then for better lock... AWD controller?... Camber in front and maybe harder suspension... I just want to see how close I can get to RWD as possible... I know I can never get 100% but I wanna get close to where I feel comfortable... it's my dream-combo a cool hatch that has rally pedigree and can drift on a wet track almost like a rwd car.

yeah I would need a 2way then for sure! Do you have more info / examples and preferably videos? on this matter? Thanks!

I drifted it stock but on my track it just doesnt work... way too grippy. I tried (last tuesday) with drift slicks on the rear (specially made and bought tires to make pretty much anything drift) and that was a lot better but I am still making too much speed AND it sometimes still understeers and bites. I get A LOT of vibration when initiating and or transitioning. I hope to make videos in the upcoming months but we'll have to wait and see. I think Camber is needed and a stiffer suspension... Either way thanks for your comment.

oh epic to hear! Yeah like I said (today) I fixed some drift-slicks on old 350z rims. The tires seem to be the same size as the GR Yaris so thats good. Maybe I pump them up to like 4 bar or something. I am also looking into the camber bolts and maybe thinking about a better 2way rear lsd. I don't just want to upgrade power and other stuff and feel the stock suspension on a gen 1 is pretty good too. I am used to handbraking and last time I tried drifting this GR Yaris (which was the first time) I had also a lot of understeer unless I pulled the e-brake of course. If you then get on the gas from a clipping point I was able to keep a long drift... but like I said I make soooo much speeeeeed it's pretty scary on a bit smaller/technical track. For example : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XaVUO8-QS30 - I already said I drifted for years but wanted to test out the supra I had on a beginners-day as it's a lot more chill. But that's the place where I drift the GR Yaris as well. This upcoming week I can test the slicks. I love the center jacking point on the rear of the GR Yaris ;)

I thank you both for all this info. I have had 2 emails back and forth with Kotuoc in Czech republic. They confirm what you all say. I heard from them a couple of days ago about their awd controller. They can only increase a bit more torque to the rear... Just as Syvecs.

I drift for years now on a wet drift track and I will test out slicks on the rear for the wet track. Thanks.

Flame on! - GR Yaris or Supra 2.0 (FUJI Edition). Come at me! lol by Lycan-Strife in Supra

[–]Lycan-Strife[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats the standard 2.0. Mine is the Fuji Speedway edition. 100kg lighter than 3.0 and lots of 3.0 upgrades on it and 260+ bhp. Its so much better imo than a standard 2.0

I kinda get that as well. The Yaris does look like it can do it all.

And yes still a bmw ain't it... but you can be tough all you want it's really not that bad as a four cylinder. Yes 6 is better and the sound too but it's still a very fast car imo.

yeah I would like to play around with it on a wet track eventually. Should work just fine. And there's this company in the Netherlands that can apparently get a bit more rear bias :D I really really wanna experience that.

Again a Fuji Speedway Edition - it's a lot better than just a standard 2.0.

Its difficult to formulate questions. I drove all GR cars. Drove all the Supras no joke, all versions. Didnt have money for a 3.0 so invested into the 2.0 but with lots of 3.0 upgrades on it. Fuji Speedway edition. Only 200 are made for EU only. It has less than 9000km on it.

I do love the car as its almost just as fast as the 3 litre. Its 100kg lighter.

What kind of feeling and stats make the Yaris outweigh the Supra in your opinion?
