GR YARIS: CUSTOMIZATION

 Customizations for the interior and exterior of Rikutsu-Kone-Taro‘s GR Yaris is introduced in this page

I,Rikutsu-Kone-Taro, have no interest in professional-level customizations such as cutting and pasting the body, ECU rewriting, or increasing turbocharger pressure when it comes to customizing cars. He rarely goes to the circuit (after all, it’s a rally car), has no intention of participating in competitions, and, above all, lacks the funds.

My financial capacity, experience, and driving skills decisively fall short of entering that realm. All I want is to have a good time.

So, for a novice driver like Rikutsu-Kone-Taro, the stock performance of the GR Yaris RZHP is more than sufficient.

The customizations that Rikutsu-Kone-Taro aims for on the GR Yaris start with modifications to the parts that come into contact with the body during driving (click “here” for the actual results of introducing full bucket seats, click “here” for the results of installing a quick shifter and clutch stopper).

Then, to improve the uncool look from a diagonal rear view, he plans to install paint and small parts (click “here” for the results).

After that, he intends to proceed with the replacement of wheels and tires (click “here” for information about customizing wheels).

So, after about a year and a half since the purchase, as of June 2022, my GR Yaris is in the following condition.

I personally think it’s turning out very well.

It’s amazing to be able to customize your favorite car as you like, enjoy the public roads safely and happily without causing trouble to anyone, and operate it without getting the attention of the police!

The staff at GR Garage Kitaikebukuro always graciously fulfills my requests.

Apparently, they are willing to handle third-party products as much as possible as long as they meet safety standards. That’s reassuring.

Because it’s a precious car, I intend to use it carefully and have fun. Making the most of my limited money.

That’s all.
