£2100 for the rear bumper spoiler and exhaust 
I guide liked the look of the stripe til I saw the price! The dash seems reasonable. Abarth wanted £600 for a similar sized dash. The biggest issue I have with the exhaust is it requires the rear bumper, which then looks out of place without the skirts.
I’m hoping a Fujitsubo Legalis R or Kakimoto Regu 06R is made for the car.

Nice. I hope Toyota themselves decides to sell this stuff officially too though. After all as a German I can't just bolt anything on my car even if it's actually an OEM part. Can get into big trouble with the police/insurance if that stuff isn't done the proper way and that requires Toyota to make the right certificates available.Sam.M said:

Nice, will properly watch later. Good to see no pixelation this time!What do we think of the upshift overrev??
Driver or engine mapping? I know some cars seem to rev hold on upshift for emissions. Hoping it’s just his driving style!
Said seats were bad and didn’t hold him, centre console was “cheap” and flexed when he leant on it after falling out the seat and it “overheated” every lap, said the suspension needs upgrading, brakes were ok but could do with a pad change
It sounds a bit like a Smart car (Not a bad thing) but without the little wastegate chirp.
His doesn’t have the circuit pack I don’t think, so is on the softer side.
I did think the oil temp thing was odd, if I heard correctly he mentioned he was backing off at 100c, which seemed really low to me on a modern oil. He also said he wanted to switch to a 0w40 oil for temp reasons. The redzone on the oil temp gauge seems to be at 130 from what I’ve seen.
Seat is a concern, he’s mentioned that in earlier videos too.
I didn’t catch the dash flex, will watch again.

Dunno how much of it you watched but it didn’t seem a very positive review to me?

I got the impression he’s very particular about his cars. Said seats were bad and didn’t hold him, centre console was “cheap” and flexed when he leant on it after falling out the seat and it “overheated” every lap, said the suspension needs upgrading, brakes were ok but could do with a pad change

After watching a few of them I’ve decided not to listen too much to what he says.

Not sure you can discount a review because you don’t like it 
.
If my car overheated after 1 lap , I would be less than happy, had another car with this issue & it wastes your day off & a fair bit of cash.
It didn’t overheat. I’m more on about the subjective stuff of seating handling and so on. .If my car overheated after 1 lap , I would be less than happy, had another car with this issue & it wastes your day off & a fair bit of cash.
100 isn’t terrible but he isn’t the first to comment on overheating is he? Would be interesting to see how many laps it would take to hit 125+ also bearing in mind for most of the straight he was on the 112mph limiter so taking out the biggest heat generating part of the lap.
Though it’s all probably irrelevant if you are not planning on track days.
And he may be being a bit picky but aren’t we all? There has been pages of debate on here about tiny things like parking sensors Rev matching and hud, I think if any of the fundamentals are off by a tiny bit people are going to moan like hell

I reckon non circuit packs cars will be easy to pick up after a test drive, since from my understanding it seems that it's the CP cars that are the ones 'flying off the shelf'.
Perhaps but they won't have an LSD. Bit fed up of these option packs why cant we just pick and choose! Deanoc123 said:

You wouldn’t think Toyota would release a car without testing it to destruction, so Iam not particularly worried .
If I keep mine it will be getting tracked for sure.

Waiting for clarity on this.
|https://thumbsnap.com/ZrTj5At2[/url]When I raised this via my dealer, they told me Toyota were considering a track warranty as an option. Not heard any more. Suspect it was a fob off.
Why would you expect a track warranty? Which OEMs actually provide one anyway?
Dash flex wouldn't bother me - how often do you smash into the dash anyway? Why would you?
Seat support is a perfectly valid point of course, but it's an easy and relatively cheap job to fit a proper bucket seat if you're going on track frequently, certainly compared to spending £30k on a GR!

If there is an overheating problem I wouldn't be listening to him about it. If anyone says that 100° oil temperature is overheating I would immediately discount them as having a little knowledge but not enough.Though it’s all probably irrelevant if you are not planning on track days.

I've never had a car that excudes non competitive, non timed track days. Current Audi, porsche, BMW, Nissan, hyundai all cover it.RB Will said:

Dealer seem to think it was just someone one social media who didn't know the answer. Toyota UK breakdown and extended warranty both cover it.
