Did you use the OE donut flange where the awe meets the midpipe?
And not to forget the 8 minute wait time to check the oil level per Toyota's service instruction....otherwise you'll over fill it dummy.
You losers got to stop blaming Toyota. 90% of you people who buys manual transmission don’t even know how to drive it properly! Hell my 2001 subaru RS clutch didn’t go out on me until 210,000 miles. Learn how to drive and quit driving dumbasses slamming on your damn gears.
Do you feel like the front one is needed or just upgrading the rear is good enough?
I have been liking the Cusco rear bar so far. The bar is maybe 1mm larger, so not much more in terms of diameter, but the Cusco bar is much more solid and stiffer. I will say as well, that I wouldn't mind having a better front sway bar to go along with the rear bar. I think having both will optimize the platform exceptionally well. All that being said, in my personal opinion, I think the rear bar gives the car a good amount of needed rotation where you can keep your rear tire pressures lower than you would need to do with a front bar.
Also, I do plan on making a video in the near future showcasing the differences between the car with stock bars, only rear bar, only front bar, and then also with both bars. Mostly to see the visible differences in body roll from the outside.
@@happyhills_garage Looking forward to it. Which front sway bar are you getting, Cusco?
@michaelxie4563 not sure yet tbh. I know Eibach has been working on an adjustable version of both the front and rear bars, so I am probably towards them (if they come out with them soon)
I think Eibach is selling the front one already
I like the new front end, looks more aggressive…just wish it had fog lights somewhere
I agree, if the fog lights were still there, it would make it meld better imo.
Do you have to Jack the truck or you can do it while is on the ground?
I did this on the ground, but my truck was leveled as well, so it may depend on your circumstances.
This is awesome
you're awesome! i just ordered a koyorad. been having overheating issues with my new to me fiesta st.
Hope that helps! The FiST is prone to overheating, and a radiator is a MUST if you plan to push the car.
How did you get it reimbursed, I’m currently going thru this experience. I’m having to pay $3800 just in labor n I only have 11k Miles second owner. What’s the email n what pictures do I need. My clutch has been bad since I bought it, I thought it came like that until I got into a 24 n text drove it.
Looked a little more tight and technical than usual.
@scotturich it was crazy tight comparatively! It was a good course, but people definitely weren't too fond of the hairpin turn 😅 I went to first gear on that lol
Wow this looks super easy. I live in an tiny apartment sadly so I don't have a place to really do car work without them yelling at me, but it's silly that I have to bicker with them at the dealership for their free services so they do the oil change every 5k.
@mikeydude750 The free dealer service is nice, but it's only up to 20/25k miles iirc. Not being able to do your own work at an apt is a pain for sure...I've been there. If you have a friend nearby or a place that may okay to prop up a car for that type of work, then I think that'll be your best option.
did it solve the issue?
@@Mqxwell from what I have seen since doing the centering procedure, the rotor seems to be wearing better now than before! I'll probably post an update video soon on this and the oil catch can
@@happyhills_garage Sick, I need to replace a rotor (rock got stuck between the pads :/) and not sure if I was pay labor or do it myself Pad replacement is super easy, but I wasn't sure about the rotor. Seeing as it's just a single bracket and if the shop doesn't follow procedure and uses the wrong bolts, might just do it myself
@Mqxwell unfortunate about the rock getting caught in the rotor 😥 the rotor is wayyy easier than you think tbh. I do have a GRC brake and rotor install video if you do decide to do it by yourself and want a point of reference 🤙
You joining STU? Ehhh... BT?
@justint5387 I honestly am leaning towards STU...I mean, BT... next year lol. Unless the GR goes back to DS somehow
@@happyhills_garage what size wheels can the GR fit?
@@justint5387 I think as wide as 9.5/10? I need to look into it more, but that's what I've seen
@@happyhills_garage Mack got some 17x10 for sale
Does your car make pops with the exhaust on
It does, but I actually swapped to the touring exhaust and don't regret it whatsoever! The touring also has the natural burbles and has no drone, so I highly recommend the touring over track
I was one of the people who suggested altering the proposed Street Touring class names. This was because they were too similar to the names of the Street Prepared classes. If ST and SP classes were put in the same run group, the cone counter can easily mix up an ST and/or SP class with one another if the radio reception is not clear enough.
@@bluestreak.gp7 I could see that.
Nice upgrades but a few mods you can put on you GR and you make more power easily (it’s still the same engine). On my 2023 Corolla GR make 303whp and 310tq at the wheels with only a intercooler and hot&cold side pipes upgrade.
These are part of my thoughts about the upgrades as well. Although the comfort features, increased stability, and certain drivetrain aspects seem a bit interesting
They need to survey regions about the shocks and not people that are competing on a nationals stage. I know it effects the national stage but the people that are already do well are already coding adaptive suspensions so of course they don’t see a competitive advantage
I agree, a lot of surveys SHOULD also come from regions rather than just from national levels, but, like you mentioned, the national level is what truly matters for things like this.
I'm trying to find out what is going on with the Telsa Models, They seem to be allowed in XA now. Which is crazy with just how much faster they seem. I've tried reading through the rules and I see they used to be no EV's allowed in XA/XB. But they removed that section with one of the recent fast tracks.
There was a bit of time where EV's had their own classes while the board figured out what to do with EVs for the future as far as including them in competition with every other car. That is evident with them placing them in AS and DS now
@@happyhills_garage I had read about the AS addition in one of the fastracks, but nothing on XA. Since I have an S280 I'm pretty much locked into XA, which is fine since I can just have fun and do what I want. Just didn't expect to be going up against wide body Teslas with loads of aero mods and carbon fiber body panels out the gate.
@AthenaAutocross lol that does sound like a not so fun time when you have a fully kitted tesla like that to up against. How are you liking the s280 FiST?
@@happyhills_garage it's an absolute blast. I'm ready for this cooler weather to come in as the one event I got to do hit 106F. And everything that could overheat did.
hey bud, so how do you compare gr corolla and fiesta st? what's more fun to drive? love your channel
It's hard to make a decision on which car is better than the other tbh, mostly cause they are completely different cars. They are both incredibly fun and engaging to drive and throw around, but the GR definitely has the much needed power bump that the FiST didn't need to have fun, but that you want to have if you had the urge to use it lol. The AWD is also a huge plus with the GR. I'd buy another FiST as a second car in a heartbeat, though, if it was feasible for me. I will have to make a video about comparing the two sometime 👍
@@happyhills_garage great. I think lot of FIST owners think bout jumping over to elantra N or the corolla.. it would be a great video someone who is coming from fist.
@kihun the N would be a fantastic option as well imo
You want to check for leaks after you fill the engine with oil and start the car. Until you have oil pressure you won't see a leak unless you forgot to put the drain plug back on or use a drain plug gasket. Speaking of that, you didn't mention it but it's cheap and I always change it at every oil change. My dealer even tosses them in when you buy an oil filter. I used to use Mobil 1 but after seeing so many comparisons and tests done on oils it didn't do that well so now I use Pennzoil Ultra Platinum and I actually like it more. I always use an OEM oil filter too since they cost less than aftermarket filters. I've also found that tightening the oil filter with my hand as much as I can works well and I've never had a leak over the years. But I do recommend a better quality oil filter wrench! I've had those band type not work well when trying to get off a very stubborn filter that someone else put on too tight. I love this one, best one I've ever had. Oil Filter Wrench - amzn.to/3tJrTEi
I do change the gaskets at every oil change, but I just forgot to mention it in the video. That's why I included it as a note in the description with a link to the ones I bought. I may have to look into oil comparisons again and check out Penzoil, but Mobil 1 has been good to me with this car so far.
Make sure you burn out the clutch again within 6 months so you can use the warranty again from the repair 😅
@AnythingGoesJoJo is that how long it is lol?? I knew there was one, didn't care to look into the time frame, though.
I’m pretty sure u did do it but you forgot to mention the drain plug gasket. A really important 10 cent piece that if u don’t use can leak oil and spend more money on a new motor. But good video. I’m a Toyota tech and if u have any questions please lmk or if u want parts at a discount we can work something out
@ricastar2931 I definitely do replace them at every oil change, but I totally forgot to mention that in the video! Thanks for pointing that out, and I will keep your profile name in my notes if I ever need some help with something Toyota related 🤙
Nice car, would like to know why would you buy motor oil in one quart small bottles instead of one 5 quarts big bottle?
Thanks! I explained why in the video, but to elaborate further, I usually buy 5 quarts, but had two 1 quarts so bought 3 others cause there was no need for a big 5 quart.
Please do Diff oil change!!! Thank you
I'll put that on my list
I ordered stainless brake lines and clutch line along with some rbf600. Yet I have never done a brake line install or even a brake fluid flush. Any tips for that on the GR?
Can't give you tips on a brake or clutch line install on the GR at the moment, BUT I do have a how for the brake fluid flush in my GR brake replacement video
I forgot to mention in the video that you should ALWAYS swap your Drain Bolt Gasket with each oil change!! They are cheap and keep the oil in your pan 👍. Also, check your owner's manual to get the correct Type of Oil AND Oil Capacity for your vehicle!
Glad Toyota came through and did the right thing. In the end, this better benefits Toyota. They keep their customers happy, owners are more likely to stick with their brand for future cars. Subaru of America looked out for me when I needed a new shortblock when I was 17,000 miles outside of warranty. I am more loyal to them now.
That is an awesome thing to have them do for you, especially being out of warranty like that, and I completely agree with your sentiment! Because big Toyota helped me through this process, I honestly have become an even bigger Toyota fan-boy now lol. The dealerships doing what they do shouldn't impact our thoughts on the companies themselves, and Toyota does seemingly care for their customers.
I'll stick with the Golf R until they finally figure it out!
The new gen Golf R?
Damn it looks like you guys used the whole damn facility
For real. Felt like it tbh 😅
Will be interesting to see how the SCCA decides to keep the 23,24 models in BS. The 25 is such a step up especially in ProSolo launches and the launch out of the corners.
Lmao, yeah, I'm really hoping that they move the 23/24s back to DS and put the 25s and onward in BS. Would make the most sense
Can 2023 owners upgrade at the dealer with these improvements? I thought I heard this a while back.
I think since toyota nowadays is selling packages. "4000 dollars more, and you can stop by your local dealership to upgrade to GR super super plus package."😢😮
I believe there are some options available as far as an "update" pack or something like that.
What are your thoughts about the new 2025 GR Corolla??
Note to self. Dont remove those bolts LOL. Good information tho!
It's definitely something worth knowing for the future lol
I pay over 5800 to replace mine, parts and labor included. At 53000 miles, hydraulic clutch bearing when out contaminating clutch and flywheel, break fluid and clutch dust mix like a mud paste
That amount sounds about right if the flywheel was included in the cost. At least you were able to get to over 50k miles before that happened, but still an unfortunate occurrence for sure.
The other piece of hose that black mesh put that on your new hose it’ll help with the bend it’ll keep it from collapsing .it’ll look professional too lol
Interesting idea for sure 🤙
Great video! The arrows on the anti-rattle brake clip point in the direction of the disc/rotor rotation.
Thanks! I honestly hadn't thought about that reason at the time 🤣
Can you show us how you get your wheelchair in the grc?
Would be hard to walk you through that process, unfortunately
Just flushed my break fluid on my Corolla GR last week at 20k miles. Did the same way on a lift. My pads still have 60% left on front and 80 percent left on rear pads. Will be upgrading to Giro rotors all 4 and Endless low dust pads very soon.
Nice! Let me know how you like the Giro rotors as those are looking to be my number 1 option at the moment once I need to replace my pads again.
@happyhills_garage Yeah, I do a lot of highway driving, so my pad still have lots of life in them. But yeah, giro discs , Paragon floating rotors, or ebc rotors. I will get one of the 3 for the front and rear with Endless low dust pads. Did you get the Endless low dust pads? How are they so far as break dust and overall performance. My Corolla GR had upgraded Sxth Intercooler and full custom charge pipes and makes 303whp and 310tq on a mustang dyno very happy with the power. Btw how did you resurface the rotors?
This one is the best detailed video done on GR Corolla brakes . How long it took to ship ? Thanks for the video 👍
@bohbot4930 thanks! The pads from Blackhawk took about 3 weeks or so from order to delivery. For me, they didn't have any in stock at the time, so they were waiting for the manufacturing. So if they have them available when you order, it may be quicker.
@happyhills_garage Thank You ! Update on any dust built compared to the OEM pads.
@@bohbot4930 so far not anywhere near as much as stock, but when I go to wash my car here soon I will check. At that point it will have been about two months since I installed the pads.
Thanks for this. Any plans to replace brake and clutch line to stainless ?
No plans for swapping those right now, but I am leaning towards doing more modification type stuff with the car next year 👀 so we will see if those plans stick around lol
As a tech for Toyota learned that u can just drill a 12mm bolt in the holes in the center of the rotor and it will pop off. Much quicker and no harm
@@ricastar2931 yup, I showed that being done with the rear rotors in the video (Method 2)! That can be done with both the front rotors and the rears. Just need the right bolt.
you had no issues getting the rotors resurfaced? As a rookie who doesn't know anything, I've heard you can't resurface slotted rotors, and even if you do the amount of material removed typically throws the rotors below minimum spec thickness as theyre not produced with a lot of extra material in the first place. Interested in eventually doing the same, as new rotors shipped to canada look to be near 2000$ from japan or closer to 3000 from a dealer...
@TheAphtar fortunately, no issues! I was also a bit skeptical/concerned at first as I had also heard from a number of sources online that the two-piece and/or slotted rotors are not typically resurfaceable, and mainly for the reasons you just laid out. I changed my brakes at just before 20k, and realllly didn't want to spend a couple thousand, just like you, on new rotors lol. I had a local O'Reilley's do the resurfacing, and they turned out great! They took them in with no problems. Now, it may come down to how bad the rotors are to begin with, but unless there is a bunch of deeper grooves or something, I'd say one resurface should be good. The brakes feel more than fine with the rotors resurfaced, and they are looking fine from my inspections after I have been running them in autocross, etc, the past couple of months as well 👍 Regardless, I'd say it's worth it to take them in and see what a shop says before paying big money lol.
What brake pads do you use on your GR Corolla, or what pads do you like in general if you don't have a GR or haven't installed new pads on your GR yet?? *UPDATE FOR REMOVING THE CALIPERS* Refer to description for more info!
Hey i also have a Type r it is currently full bolt on id like to take it to an auto cross event im local from modesto. how much is the auto cross event and any requirements?
@irj8998 awesome to hear that you're interested in autocross! Typically, one day (Saturday or Sunday) will run you $70-$80 depending on what club it is with at the time. If you run both days with SFR, you will get a $10 discount! There are two main clubs that run at Crow's, San Francisco Region SCCA, and American Autocross Series. You can find both of these clubs online to see their event schedules, how to register, and beginner info as well! I'll post the links to those in a separate reply here as well. There are specific classing rules, but as a novice I wouldn't worry too much about that to start. We will help class your car in the beginning based on what info you tell us 👍 As far as requirements go, make sure your car is in good enough shape. You'll want to make sure you have enough tread on the tires, pad left on your brake pads, brake fluid has a good pressure, and your battery is properly secured (doesn't move at all). Other than that, if you have a helmet, cool, but if not, there are rental helmets available! If you are on Facebook as well, then feel more than welcome to join the FB groups as well; which I'll post in the following comment as well 🤙

Cody looking like you are ready for Nats
I wish I was able to go this year! 😭
good information thank you
Thanks! Glad I was able to have this situation figured out and help anyone out that may be in a similar situation.
Yow my exhaust seems to be leaking on all connection points. Any idea why?
@@pyrorenegade4983 tighten the flange bolts down as tight as possible; make sure the pipes are inserted as far as they will go before fulling tightening the clamps. Also, if you are saying this cause of the smell, then that is normal and will go away after a little bit of driving
@@happyhills_garage alright gotcha. i'd tightened the clamps to around 110nm of torque, still leaks a tiny bit but it'll do. Don't wanna break the clamps haha!
@pyrorenegade4983 the clamps do not need to be near that tight! Neither do the flange bolts tbh. The clamps should be tightened with a ratchet and socket up to the point that they basically stop
So I installed mine maybe is just that the gas feels a bit diff bur I feel like it has very light less power than before from 1 to 2nd or maybe is just me
@dragonorths it's probably just a placebo effect tbh. I'd just drive it around a bit to break it in. My car has been feeling just as good as, if not slightly better than, the OE exhaust.
