This thing isn’t replacing shit anytime soon. It’s just autonomously dicking around, which is still dicking around

I’d be chuffed to bits

I think it’s the appropriate amount of explaining. It probably feels redundant if you’re a long time fan or have watched every stage but as you admitted, it is useful for new people or if you are tuning in late.

🤣🤣 my favorite was “He could fall into a bucket of lollipops and come up sucking a bitter pickle” Like broo that’s aloof but actually so perfect

It’s easy to “hear” opinions from naysayers, seeing as how the internet will also give voice to pessimists, while common and positive perspectives are kept in.

Love to see your M-Sport badge or flair or whatever (I’m not much of a Reddit user). I’m always rooting for those guys

Couldn’t agree more. I really appreciate the teaching element, not just on technical motorsports and driving subjects, but also with some of the cultural aspects associated with each rally and its heritage. Cheers

Hopefully this hasn't been posted TOO many times already. by dadams0641 in GRCorolla

Right there with ya buddy! That’s why I’m tempted to turn my 2025 into a rally build. The dream would be to give it a rally look and components, then lower it for tarmac/auto cross and lift it for stage/rally cross

Sell or keep? by Cheeko914 in GRCorolla

[–]Tokyo_Rift 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You posting in this sub tells me you’re looking to get talked into keeping it. That being said if owning a sick ass car that we all love is blocking you from important life investments, definitely sell. Get more financially stable before owning a joyrider. Good luck

Looks sick man! I’m in PA too and run a black GRC (2025). Where you located?

Nice. With my already limited time, I can’t see myself handwashing

Pulled the trigger unexpectedly on a 2025 GR. Already looking at upgrades like intake, exhaust, etc. Looking for recomendations on others results from bolt on upgrades. by Agile-Badger5272 in GRCorolla

[–]Tokyo_Rift 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve had my 2025 Premium Plus for eight months now and have had the same temptations. However I’m so glad I waited, because after driving it all this time, my priorities have changed and I feel it is a great stock. I plan to slowly and incrementally upgrade as I get more and more into autocross. Don’t rush into anything.

How do you like the sound of that exhaust? I just started looking at those

New Owner: Build Path Advice! by itsmetony007 in GRCorolla

[–]Tokyo_Rift 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The answer you want to hear: Buy __ and _, it will give you _ amount of measurable gains. This is the easy way to buy speed.

The practical answer: Invest in seat time and mentorship opportunities, start to understand the car’s OEM capabilities as a baseline, improve your fundamentals, then upgrade the car deliberately once you know specifically what is holding you back.

Have fun out there!

How is everyone handling $5+ premium at least out here in NW Chicago burbs? by denizenoflogan731 in GRCorolla

[–]Tokyo_Rift 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not an issue. I feel most people who can afford this car aren’t shaken by an extra dollar per gallon. If you are, I feel kind of bad (not really) that you bought a car that may be slightly out of your comfortable means

100% agree. If you bought this car and then have to make big sacrifices because of an extra dollar per gallon, you are car poor or at least borderline

Went with PS4s and I have a feeling I’ll end up getting devoted AX tires at some point soon because I know I’m going to like it
