That and not enough effort was put into the brand here to have buyers where the market for technicians would grow.

I believe times have changed, especially when they offer a Civic Type-R, because that is where you'd go for performance. Considering the Civis Si sells for them with the same power, this still runs a turbo motor with a hybrid system, I think this will be a good fit for a lot of people.

@@CarQuicks we shall see. If they didn’t think people would buy the Civic coupe, why build this? Honestly, as a former Prelude owner and car enthusiast, I have zero interest in this thing.

@@frankybeans1872 I think it comes from giving the variety to a market that is asking for something reasonable, looks good, has sporty parts and isn't priced to the likes of a Civic Type-R. Most Prelude owners, the ones I've known who built amazing examples were outliers in the world of Honda sport compact cars. - Also, while this is not a direct competitor to the likes of Toyota and the GR86 I would say that they have watched that success and see a lane where this could work. - It ultimately could fail, but having more sport compact options that succeed only opens up the doors for the possibility of more performance-oriented options.

I would argue the likes of Toyota/Honda would have to throw caution to the wind to blow through any budget they have. Considering the billions they pull in yearly. What I believe is they set a certain amount of money to see where they'd get in R&D and then dialed it back to confirm the market was mature enough for it. EVs I believe are included in that idea. Not that they won't do it, but both those companies are methodical and won't kill any sales of their current bread and butter models, for the idea of just throwing in a EV Camry or Accord. I wouldn't see any of those increasing their sales, as their market has yet to ask about that enough to warrant a shift in R&D. Also, you should check out some of my older podcast episodes, as I've talked A LOT about the Ioniq 5N and what I love about it. I think that car is great!

I'm sure every Chevy dealer will add nothing less than $50,000.

250 max

You would be wildly surprised at what even those small 1.5 liter turbo Honda motors can produced.

Especially if you consider if you want more performance, they have a CTR ready for you.

Tokyo Auto Salon in 2026 will be a true sign of what the market does.

Well, maybe I can clear up a few things for you: 1. 80 MPH: This was taken out of context, and some of us believe that screenshot running around, where someone said a Toyota rep said this, is made up. The reason why is because that statement IS in our manual, but its talking about have the proper performance tires to exceed higher speeds. It says nothing about the car being unable or unsafe above that speed. It would be unsafe above 85 MPH IF the tires you have are inadequate. Thats what the entire paragraph says, not just the snippet they tried to pass of as something Toyota said. - 2. Burning smell: Depending on what you are use to driving the 3-cylinder motor in this car runs very well, but it produces heat. So if you are running the car and stop you will smell the heat from the motor. That could come off as a burning smell, but it is not. Now, I'm not saying something couldn't go wrong, but I've put enough miles on my car and many other owners I know, that spontaneous engine fires are not happening like these stories tried to paint. If you research the GR Corolla and the GR Yaris you'll see plenty of people speak about the motor and how its runs hot due to its turbo design and how hard these cars are driven. But, no one is speaking to that as if there is a fire risk, most are speaking from a performance standpoint and the aftermarket things we change to help produce more power and efficiency and cooling, like an intercooler, oil cooler, etc. - 3. Warranty: For reference the 2 cars that caught fire were repaired by a 3rd party entity and one was a salvage title. Both of those owners bought another GR Corolla after that entire story went viral. We have spoken with Toyota corporate engineers in Plano, TX about the GR Corolla and asked how many incidents they've had about a fire. Which they said none. They heard about those 2 people and the reason the warranty was denied, was because it was not a manufacturer defect that caused the issue. One was a salvage title repair, the other had work done to it by another company. After that Toyota would not warranty work that was done improperly that caused a fire. - Hopefully that helps give you some ease of mind on the car. If you want some real ownership feedback, join the GR Corolla Forums and join the Verified GR Corolla FB groups we have. You'll find plenty of owners who track their cars, have them modified like myself, daily drive them and have miles higher than mine.

Yes, it cleans all this up and actually produces better bass sound so we don't have to crank it up so high for good sound.

I always say the negativity or vocal people about something wrong with any car will be the highlight, not the thousands of happy owners.

The fact this will be sitting at a Chevrolet dealership with this much performance is wild.

Appreciate you watching! More to come!

@ 🙏👌🤘

Funny enough, if I had the 2025 bumper I probably would paint match that bottom strip.

@@CarQuicks 😂That is funny! I could see it.

Oh man! You are going to love this car! I actually want to drive an Auto version, as I've heard good things about how that performs. One of the things I'm excited about is knowing Toyota is committed to this car and the aftermarket will follow even better because of that. There was a time when we thought this might only be. 2-3 year model run and thats it, but its great to see new owners joining and growing the community.

@ Seriously can’t wait to get it! Been looking since August and almost bought a GR86 but it was way too small, knee kept hitting e brake and steering wheel. Goad it didn’t work out because I found out about the GR Corolla and it was on after that! I had looked at a Civic Type R but they are still trying to get too much for them and after I researched the GR and how it’s made, I was sold! I will let you know when I get it! Sure I will have questions for you!! SERIOUSLY APPRECIATE YOU REPLYING TO ME💯🙏🫡

Glad you were safe and able to move to something you enjoy. And thats part of the point I was making here... any car has this potential if we take into account the mechanics of a car.

Thats amazing, those are the deals we need to hear more about, and not the insanity of markups. Thanks and a blessed holiday to your and yours as well. If you get a moment, this series extends into more mileage, so if you want to see how its been holding up to 30,000 miles, check out my other videos. You'll love the car!

@@CarQuicks Trust….I have already watched them a few times😂Not too much in depth content on this car and you have some excellent videos. Can’t wait to get mine! Thanks for the reply….MERRY CHRISTMAS 💯🙏

Thanks and I appreciate you watching!

First the install is MUCH more involved than Forge, so that could be a factor into what you would like. As for throw and feel, the Billetworkz has a smoother engagement. Its just as short as the Forge one, but some people dislike the notchiness that theForge SS has. Billetworkz engages a bit smoother and introduces a taller shift knob position.

They should just change it to that haha

Are you talking about what I did or someone else in general? Because no one is mad about a pitch mount, that would be a waste of energy. The series point is to highlight anyone asking whether they should run various ratings and the pros/cons of each. Now you could be talking about someone else and if so... as they say, if doesn't apply, let it fly. Also, for reference the 85A I was running I was happy with, I decided to switch things up and ran that for 15,000 miles, the current mount is 70-75A. Just in case you missed all of that. Lol.

I didn't even bring up the Zora because that'll be an amazing comparison to run, just for the price point. I do understand the people who can afford $1 Million dollar cars, could also just buy the Valhalla AND a Zora AND a ZR1... which is a wild garage lineup.

Renault Turbo R5 3E

Good point, but given they sold $4 Million dollar Valkyrie's, this is a deal. Lol.

Awesome, glad more people are getting to experience this car!

That is from Aeroflow Dynamics. They also released some side skirts for it too.

@@CarQuicks Thanks a lot let me go check it out.

Literally one of the many points I've brought up in my podcast. Alot of this convincing would be MUCh easier if people saw an infrastructure that could trust and rely on.

The horsepower wars got us to the point where over 5000-pound vehicles were given a pass. We could really use more lightweight 400HP and under vehicles and get back to the driver experience.

@@CarQuicks agreed 100%

Absolutely!

Well by the numbers, yes it is lower than stock. Now if you want it slammed or even lower, you could go further, in this application that was not the goal.

An RS3 is an amazing machine... I'd love one of those too.

I wouldn't worry too much about the track and warranty concerns some have brought up. I can count on one hand the stories I've heard, and you can see hundreds if not thousands of owners who are regularly at the track or have tracked their car. Just visit the forums to find a real ownership experience. There are dealerships who are readily selling at MSRP. I advise anyone to use Facebook and join groups for the GR Corolla and places like NO MARKUP TOYOTA, those groups will have you in an MSRP GR Corolla in a day. Size is relative to what your needs are, but for reference I'm 6'3", married, 3 kids, and I'm regularly putting everyone in the car to go somewhere and for myself, its ample room and space. I just completed a road trip to NY/Northeast, packed with all things and 2 kids for over 2 weeks.

@ that’s wild! I’m 6’3” with 2 kids but plan to have a 3rd. This is encouraging. I will check out those groups

I don't get why manufacturers refuse to do both. I do get the desire to figure out electric cars, to make them engaging, etc etc. But in the meantime, for something like this, with a fan base who loves it, just stick a motor inside it. It doesn't need to be something wild and crazy, but with the amount of available engine suppliers, they can find something compelling to put in and while they do that, make their electric version.

@CarQuicks Because the government has a hard on for them EV death traps...

Thank you for the correction. You live and you learn.

I don't have as many engine mods as you, but if I would guess, between the intercooler, charge pipes, inlet and the dump valve specifically, the air volume being read from the ECU is probably now beyond the threshold that it can monitor and adjust on its own. I heard a similar case when someone had similar mods as me and you and threw in a weldspeed intake. My theory is that there is a safe place on mods to not have to tune, but at a certain threshold of if you get the error you see, is basically the point where you need to think about tuning with ECUTEK or another option.

None of this was necessary, they could have stayed the course, looked at their competition, copied them literally and been good.

Some of those things like a "money shift" are part of the problem or over revving, but unfortunately a lot of the stories go for sensationalism and not at least breaking down where things failed. Ultimately, owners having the car in good shape are the real story for its reliability.

The price I fear is what will have this as a very limited vehicle.

Haha! We aren't here on earth for a long time... enjoy what you have now, we can't take it with us.

I had Google Lens on each page translating everything, I can't imagine coilovers LOL

I do get it in the end, considering where Mitsubishi is right now, these will never fall into a reasonable price ever again.

@@CarQuicks but for 160k is crazy. That’s r34 nur spec money

@@EVO_IX Oh I'm not disagreeing, me personally, I'm going for an R34 because I could just go get another EVO8/9 in higher mileage for under 40K, there are no cheap R34 GTRs anymore.

I mentioned that in my video comparing the 2023 to the 2025 that few painted areas will clean it up. Though the foglights being taken out is sad.

Mic placement, as the person who owns this exhaust commutes like 60 miles one way, drone would have been a killer for that long. Compared to the likes of AWE or an RK Titanium Track exhaust, this is incredibly mellow.

@andydhillon1977 which is just plain sad why store a perfectly good car when someone else can enjoy it

@dubzybc5457 I disagree 100%. I wish there were more time-capsules like this. Allows people to experience exactly what they were like new.

@andydhillon1977 I'm going to 100% disagree with you if you want a time capsule every dealership should have 1 of each of their cars put into a museum like how they did with porche from the cars movie .Taking a perfectly good car away from a fellow car enthusiasts is a asshole thing to do some kid could've had an amazing time rebuilding it

@dubzybc5457 "Asshole"? That's all I need to know whom I'm dealing with. 🤣 Since you're so compassionate, why don't you restore one that "a kid built" a.k.a destroyed?! I am! I'm rebuilding a destroyed Evo 8 that a foolish "kid" got his hands on. I have over $20k in new parts ready to go on it. Notice the difference between you and I? You sit on the sidelines opinionated. I'm putting in work! Subscribe to my channel. I'll be posting video updates in 2025. Making the content behind the scenes right now. 1-man show!

Yep, you are correct and the further Mitsubishi gets away from their glory days the more money these will be.

Appreciate it!

I don't see where they think this idea HELPS them.

Actually, this is my friend's car, I do have a Circuit hood though, it's just in the garage, I shot a video on that that I've yet to publish as I have a few things to finish on it.

We finally got blessed with some great weather in Texas. I hope your days do get better.
