There are some people doing safety mods to the GR rocker arms with some retainer clips. When you over rev the Yaris engine and valve floats even a little,the rocker arms would detach from the valve and fly away (like the first time you had) it would happen over and over. It is a design fail or not very optimal solution for a sports car. I saw this in another Yaris owner video recommending that mod(retainers&springs) ,cams and big cat. Hood vents in the GR are another ace cheap mod,some guys made that to keep the car much cooler and stable less lift at high speed. Love the red Golf...Great video!!!
@@c4rltsyt it depends on the over rev 6th to 3rd fron 7000 revs will upset any engine. as said before 4wd and a manual gearbox is not ideal for a rental racer.
Looks like the Yaris wasn't such a good idea for a rental car and the dealer support is poor considering it's Toyota. Maybe smart move is to avoid manual transmissions on rental cars?
No and it's not GR Yaris fault people can't drive right. Slow down with gear changers. PS Had my GR Yaris for almost 2 years. No problems. Just a loud mouth english man. Mechanic lol. They ship it away for the real work to be done. Good luck with the rebulid guys.
George is such a bundle of joy. Maybe you need an easier job at Lexus and just do servicing. Other manufacturers make it easy to get the engine out because they know it will fail.
went there last Sunday to do my first wet laps of the year. Unfortunately, I was ony able to do one wet lap due to the rain stopped after my run lap. Great content as always Misha!
His demeanor when running down the damage reminded me of the mechanic scene in Mad Max Road Warrior. "It's got a cracked timing cover and a couple teeth broken off the timing gear... the radiator's damaged to the core... "
I came all the way to drive the Yaris, but got notified it is in no working order, no one knew why, but I took all of Apex's remaining fleet. It was nice but I still want the Yaris to try.. Now at least I know what happened! It was a great week and shame I didnt get to meet you Misha, drive safe!
Really enjoyed this Apex behind the scenes video, and your kind interaction with friends and fans. You're an ACE guy and so too your work colleagues. Pity about the GR.
I once owned a Toyota, which I repaired and maintained by myself - it's absolutely true, it's a mess inside, nothing makes sense under the hood. Sometimes simple things are a pain... Mechanics nightmare, compared to BMW for example
Soon you'll be signing a lot more photo's via mail after this advertisement vlog. :D Also I think for a business perspective you should buy/keep the more "reasonable" cars. If you build them crazy then people are going to drive them "crazy"... Just get stock cayman/911, M4, M135i/M240i, Golf Gti, and maybe a 4wd sportscar. Just put decent brakes on them and PS4S and make sure they're all automatic. I bet you'll have the same customers and a lot less trouble. My 2's no hate
Love Ukrainian M5. So unusual to see numberplates from my place of origin. I've never seen actually a lot of them on Nurburgring and I guess number of them is even lower nowadays.
I wonder how people get their car driven by you, they just dm you randomly? You should make a website, where people can apply to get their car driven by you, would kind of help you generate content, we did this with Mois also when we went to peoples working places upfront, you could plan way more!
George please don't blame Toyota the blame lies with the network of completely inadequate main dealers not just Toyota but every large car manufacturer.
You dont have to lick the glue 😂 Its just a dumb tradition, you can take sponge and wet it a bit or even simpler a wet finger 😛 I personally avoid licking it, less glue in my system, the better...
always like George's unfiltered opinion 😂😎

What video showed the modification to retainers and springs? Please share link 🙏
So it's a modern Sr20 🤣🤣🤣🤣

This should be caused not only just by over rev, but valve spring resonation. I saw a video with deep technical info and high speed camera footage.
So Toyota in Japan go to meticulous lengths to build the Yaris to extreme precision and then the dealers just fuck it up in an afternoon 😂
11:34 that’s a lovely cinematic shot of the Quadrifoglio
It’s great to hear opinions from those who obviously have never been through the process of car designs
George has made me feel fantastic about owning a GR Yaris.
He kind of hates everything though
Love the garage content!
I love how personal and passionate you are about sharing the experience with fans/ patrons. Love your spirit
Shame about the Yaris. Pancake was very helpful today . Some very nice slo mo shots in the rain too. ✌
GR Yaris' complicated frames & stuff, reminds me of Celica GT-Four & Caldina GT-Four, lol.
that cross-brace under the engine is almost 1:1 the same as the Celica GT4 :D
Looks like the Yaris wasn't such a good idea for a rental car and the dealer support is poor considering it's Toyota. Maybe smart move is to avoid manual transmissions on rental cars?
100% agree
Low volume car with hard to get parts, thats why they got rid of the G80 too
Not to mention clutches.
Renting it to people who can't drive might have something to do with it.Dual clutch only for those people.
Is George getting death threats from GR Yaris fan boys yet 😂
Pancake is a legend we all know.
They got unlucky with theirs. Many others have been faultless. Don't believe everything you read or hear on the internet.

@@Dave-gl6jb You're also not tracking yours on a daily basis, so that's not really comparable.
Plus no misshift like these.
I can see the problem so I learned from these guys.🤣🤣
Misha you are so respectful with fans, hats off to you! Shame about the Yaris too, they are great cars.
great while driving but not reliable as you can see.
@@FastLifeVlog Not the cars fault that people over rev it
Ahhh 360p only... Render it quicker RUclips! xD
you beat me for 3 seconds :(
@@torisaurio for almost minute I was thinking: "Do I should leave any comment because I'm first here or not" 😂
George is Unfiltered and funny! Amazing peeps under Apex!
the first time I looked under the bonnet of a gr yaris it reminded me of mechano as a kid.

Excited to See the modified GTI! Would love to drive it next season. Fingers crossed it will work out for me.
Nice Video, like always ! Thank u
Maybe the other dog didn't jump because it had a sore left rear leg. You could see it limp by earlier than that part too :P

It's better not to rebuild an engine unless it's a collection car. The way to go is to source a new or a good used unopened one and just replace it.

wonderful car slow mo´s 👌👌
No big deal Gorges in Switzerland we have 10 years warranty on the GR 🤷 ♂️😁
Make sure that Audi estate stays clean... ;)

Where is the Mazda MX5 video?
Toyota puts cars together like a 5 year old …. That somehow managed to makes them run forever
yeah but not gr yaris...
Encore une vidéo qui met de bonne humeur ✌
I love that you spotted that Twingo and Seicento too ❤❤❤
Nice new gti n audi 👌
more racing, cool Misha. there is no BS with George. he is right, Toyota should be ashamed of themselves but sadly they dont c a problem.
They carry a 10 year warranty here in UK,so not too worried,no problems over last 18 months,unlike a new mk7 Golf R I had.
Pancake stamp. Love it
Heerlijk zo'n van alles en nog wat dag in Nürburg.
How is Robert? He sort of disappeared.
Yes - garage content. Nice break from endless lapping videos. Well done!
Can’t believe you tow cars with an audi wagon! That’s wild. Do you need airbags to level it?
Such a shame about that Yaris... it’s a smash hit to drive but people apparently need to get used to manual gearboxes again
Great video as always
Will we see the mighty Golf TDI again, Misha ?
Id love to drive that yaris😂
Is there anyone with a Camaro SS 1LE Misha can lap? I want to hear his impressions and see how it does since I have one.
You don't get the real Misha signature but his DNA with pancakes DNA mixed in the envelope 😜😂
I love this type of videos!
2:00 Brown 2022 dog seems to have damage on its rear left leg.
the signature part 😂😂😂
Thumbs up for the silver avant
What’s with the Tractive suspension on the GRY? What’s the reason for taking the engine out, wrong gear again?
the blue mini is awesome
Good video
What’s the song in the background while talking about the Yaris ????
I have the same question lol
Toyota get your s*** together 😂😂
The goat is back on the channel 🙌🏾
Does anyone know how the gr Yaris taxi goes with its active suspension it retro fitted ?
Thank you for the attention to the details... I mean now the audio levels between vlog and b-roll sounded normalized... again my ears thank you too.
It's great to know that many people are coming at Apex
So the warrantee covers track use?
Love Ukrainian M5. So unusual to see numberplates from my place of origin. I've never seen actually a lot of them on Nurburgring and I guess number of them is even lower nowadays.
Poor Doggo definitely has some hip problems, please don’t make him jump

Am I imagining the video is only available in 360p? No option to incease to 1080p or 1440p.
correct
What camera? Some lovely cinematics.
Wasn’t Yaris miss-shifted twice which caused all these problems? Can’t be hating the car for that, surely.
As a Golf GTI MK7 owner, curious to see the modifications.
Hug from Portugal
you are living my dream
Does your mechanic not have a helper?
Is that the end of the Yaris??
great picture misha 🤣🤣
In the old days s of really heavy clutches, you could skip the left on leg days. 👻
Would have thought a German Toyota dealership would do better work.
awesome!
PANCAKEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! 😍
For 7 seconds I thought it was a movie
i hope it will be better weather up comming weekend as i will be there XD
No offence, but does pancake have a weight issue?
George has just got to learn to open up more about what he *really* thinks about things.... ;-)
How is Robert BTW?
Yes where is Robert ?
@@KaneTerry He's not in the kitchen. 👀
Thanks Misha for giving me the heads up on defiantly not buying a GR Yaris 😂
whats the yaris engines fault when it has not correct valvetraintiming after beeing rebuilt at the toyota dealership?
how many gr´s runs out there, on track, with no problems, even with more power 🤔
@@miyagiracer this is a rental, many drivers, manual gearbox, what could possibly go wrong?
@@mocabrera yea but what does that have in common with the overall car and the reliability of the car?

hahahaha that´s my Audi diesel Powerrrrr !!!!!
7:35 Zoonose time, baby!
Well I got 1080p whats the issue??
The dog can't jump because it got a bad back leg by the look of things cheers.
More MR2 content please.
I'm looking forward to something related tomorrow. :)
Toyota built a modern Sr20!👍🤦🤣🤣🤣.

That doesn’t sound very L.E.A.N. Come on Toyota!
That is some toyota quality and reliability right there 🤣. I seriously don't understand why you bother with it.
They got unlucky. They are great cars with hundreds of owners experiencing no issues. As usual you only hear negatives on the internet.
BMW took Toyota's reliability into the Z4, and infected Toyota with all the things mechanics hate about them 😂
that poor Yaris!!! We want names hahahahahaha jk
Guy in black shirt on the left was wearing a wig, prove me wrong.
You dont have to lick the glue 😂 Its just a dumb tradition, you can take sponge and wet it a bit or even simpler a wet finger 😛

still 360 p
Jesus the build quality is crap on the yards! reminds me of my astra vxr was built with butter
its a mess, its like it has been build by a 5 year old xD
Yo Boss
Nice video with spanish people enjoy in the circuit
