For now no - the Litchfield kit is a re-branded DTUK tuning box with a bespoke map and also adjustable Nitron suspension and options for lower seats.

I've already changed the intake and exhaust is due to be fitted in a couple of weeks - the tuning box may go on, but if it does I'll either buy it direct from DTUK or get a friendly Toyota dealer to install when it's in for an oil change.

With the DTUK box, Eventuri intake and decat exhaust it's approx 320bhp compared to 257 as standard, mine with the exhaust and intake (not Eventuri) will probably be 270 and will be closer to 300 when I add the box.

Yeah, anyone who has a GR Yaris has had plenty of time to watch every YouTube clip ever produced about it, whilst waiting for their car to arrive.
It wasn't a surprise to see Harry buy one, he's great on YT and owns a fine collection of interesting cars.

I was tempted with changing the colour of wheels, but have kept the originals black and replaced with wider and cheaper wheels, in white.

I really like the OZ Racing wheels on Andy74b's Yaris.

Haven't seen them, but I almost pushed the button on some OZ Superturismo Evoluzione WRC before opting for stronger Braid motorport wheels that I had made to order and bolt straight on.

Yes, they're a popular wheel, but quite heavy - Sticky on the Yaris forum also has them.

Cheers Ferg…I’ve had a Saab since ‘07. Have been such good cars; great ride quality. Such a shame they stopped making them.

^^^^ Very much so, Chris, even though I only picked her up late this morning.

A swift 10 miles home and out this afternoon for a 10 mile each way trip.

My overriding feeling is of a docile beast, happy to waft along in a high gear and rely on the plateau of 400Nm of torque from 2,000 - 5,200 rpm if I want to accelerate.

I'll update my Twist or Stick thread with more details later.
