figured it was worth a shot for $40

Did like 50 miles so far and I think it’s worth it. It makes a noticeable difference without being annoying like I’ve seen with some of the full replacements.

 

Yup

car seems more responsive as well.

 

did a insert on my si for the rmm and it made the car shift a lot better it felt like. hows the vibrations?

 

No major change from stock. Very slight on the low end but nothing most people would probably even notice

 

thats good. thats how my si was tbh it would vibe a bit more at idle but after that you wouldnt notice it at all.

 

Finally got around to doing ceramic tint


subwoofer is ordered to fix the anemic JBL system whenever it finally gets around to shipping

 

tint looks great. Still need to do that on my truck...

 

when I finally did it on my tundra, my first thought was.... I should have done this 4 years ago

ceramic tint is worth every penny during the summer months.

 

yeah I gotta get it booked. How dark is that?

 

It looks darker in that pic than it actually is. Was about $750 to do the full car with Solar FX FXtreme2 nano ceramic film

Windshield 70
Front doors 50
Rear 20

 

yeah the dark windows on the white absolutely crush it. My pro is white, so I gotta knock it out

 

Legal limits I assume?

 

I also recently installed this bushing. It is a Yaris part but fits perfectly. 70 durometer. As stated, it helps. Combined with the Racer X spherical shifter bushings and Red Line trans fluid, mine feels pretty decent. Not sure if it equals the total replacement, but I wasn't wanting any new vibrations, such as RR view mirror, that I knew I'd get with the full.

I had considered buying some round stock from McMaster Carr and cutting some inserts out of 60-80 durometer just to play around with it but haven't gotten around to it. That stuff is pretty cheap there compared to pre-made parts. The rubber is trapped in place so just some cut round stock plugs would accomplish the same thing.

 

This is the type of image the guy on GR forum is using to claim the OEM part is "failing". I didn't want to get into it with him on the forum, but one of two things is true: he doesn't understand that this part is not failed; or he is just using the circumstances to sell product. Either way, to disagree with him there would be a $hitshow since he is selling the hell out of his product. The thin rubber that looks torn has no functional purpose. The bottom end that looks loose is designed that way or it would be the same as the 3/9 or 12 o'clock positions.

Anyway, if you haven't already installed them the Racer X bushings are also a nice upgrade. 20-minute install.

BTW, I only have 4200 miles on my 2024. I was under it this past week and found that the passenger side rear axle seal has been leaking.



Blowing back on exhaust. I checked and it was almost 2 ounces low. Doesn't sound like much, but rear diff only holds .48qts.

 

Yup exactly. If it was a problem, there would be a tsb for it by now since every GRCs pitch mount looks like that lol

I’ve been considering those bearings but haven’t done it yet. Good to hear it’s worthwhile upgrade.

 

I’m about 4400 miles on mine. Gonna have to check it over when I do my oil change

 

First oil change today
