Handbrake Upgrade Options on GR Yaris & GR Corolla? I believe that GR Yaris & GR Corolla are the most fun cars you can buy for the money, and most of the amusement comes from the AWD transmission, paired to a real handbrake, that has become very rare on modern cars!
Good can get even better, and today I will run you through the various handbrake upgrades options there are, including known problems, including stock OEM unit, Endless upgraded handbrake shoes, Phoenix Composites handbrake mod and hydraulic handbrake options.

I use Nutron aluminum handbrake lever, very fun to use and lovely soild feel, the only downside is pin goes rusty. Also, looks better than stock imho. Shame they stopped producing carbon one just before I decided to get one.

Thankyou for sharing this mate!

[@chrisandshazza01]

Awesome info as always AJ✊👌, love listening to the stories from your past experience when explaining and advising on different topics🤘🤘 cheers
Edit - currently watching all the Japanese vids on the gen2 on the TV with my phone translating🤣 ……..and true story here, I could speak fluent Japanese 29 yrs ago, I need to brush up, definitely would help me listening to all these Japanese rally drivers putting the gen 2 through their paces!!!

[@AJClubsport]

Well, for sure you are miles better than me in Japanese, no question about it, so please let me know if anything interesting comes out of it!

Great info AJ and love the no BS approach again , genuinly never go near the handbrake lol, unless I'm on a hill, that's my skill limit.
But like the composite set up and pin, again I'm not sure the idea is new, we used to drill the stock handbrake button on MK1 & 2 escorts back in the day and fit a 5mm roll pin, worked geat for practice as we used a quiet industrial estate on a Sundays , that lead onto a gravel car park, set a couple of cones to drive around and back onto Tarmac.😊 keep the great content going 👍.
Regards Russ 🙏

Hi Adriano,
think same you, but I have seen a car of scara 73 with a beautiful 4 OEM Callipers in the rear, an a perfect working high handbrake lever next to the steering wheel same in the WRC. Think this Tuner is one of the best. Maybe it was a prototype😅

[@AJClubsport]

I know him and he does some beautiful things, but this isn’t one of them. Not only the added weight, but also the throw of that hb lever is pathetic.
I don’t know what experience you have on the topic, but I’m certain of what I’m stating

[@sagerabdull3475]

very informative video aj ! , I recently installed some aftermarket drums on my gr yaris from a company called fri tech they seem to be well made however I had some problems in fully locking the tyres (running 225 Ar1's semi slicks ) do you recommend tightening the handbrake from the handbrake lines ?

[@AJClubsport]

Well, the handbrake should lock at the fifth click: so of it locks later, the case is the cables must be adjusted, always making sure that the drums don’t block the wheels while in resting position
