>button marked track>take car to track>engine explodes due to inadequate cooling>sorry gaijin, pay for it yourself, racing is not allowed!What's wrong with it? Boost pressure too high? Intercooler inadequately designed? Car and Driver said they ditched the fog lights for additional air intakes but it still overheated after 6 laps at the track. Also, the interior is horrendous and they do nothing to improve it. I know a new generation is coming, but it won't be much better, just a bigger screen. https://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/a71536189/2026-toyota-gr-corolla-premium-plus-test/Also, if Hoonkia makes a NEW Elantra N, it will smoke this abomination.
>>28996391But isn't there a warning in the owner's manual?This is what happens when you ignore the owner's manual and warning lights.
>>28996391For starters, if you willingly go to Toyota for a performance car, you're a special kind of stupid. it's been decades by now since they've properly made a performance car.For two, no manufacturer will honor the warranty when there's evidence of any kind of abuse, Toyota is not really guilty in that regard, everyone does it.For third, why do you care about a brand new 50K brick? for that amount of money, you can buy any old performance car, and bring it up to spec. Or even make it better by going aftermarket or performing an engine swap.
>>28996391>toyota>trackwell there's your 1st problem
>>28996402>using a track is abuse>button marked tracklol>>28996405the celica wasn't badthe gs 430 was a good idea, poor execution
>>28996391>>engine explodes due to inadequate coolingReally?
>>28996391>>28996428i thought it was an overheating diff? or was it the yaris
>>28996638it appears there are multiple issueslol @ toyota still claiming "machining dust" ruined their 3.4L V6 engines and made them seize up instead of admitting there's a manufacturing defect by design because they made the bearings too small for fuel economyand, there's still no fixchebby did the same thing with their 6.2 V8
Sounds like it's time to sue them for probably one of the most blatant false advertisements in history >The gr track edition is a track ready track car ready for the track with track focused modifications for maximum track performance when you take your track car to a track day, with track mode track tires track spoiler track seats track shifter track suspension track train track 8 track bear track and more! >Oh your track edition track car with track pack blew up on the track? Our track edition track car with track pack specifically marketed as a track ready track car is not meant for use on a track, warranty denied.
>>28996743toyota are the hasidic jews of the automotive industry
>>28996391>>engine explodes due to inadequate coolingAnother sucker learns the hard way.>but but but Cuck and Driver saidlawl
>>28996644Hyundai did the same thing with the 4 cyl hand grenades.
>>28996790wasn't that cuz they were mitsubishi engines?
>>28996638Yaris has an overheating diff because of the way the exhaust is routed. Corolla is fine.They both have risk of engine kaboom because of the water thin oil they run from factory.
>>28996391No one in their right mind would run a modern street car hard around a track for 6 laps straight, even if it is marketed as "track ready". 4 laps then 2 cool downs is what people with more than half a brain do, even for le UDMs, 911 GT3s, Corvettes and Camaros etc.
>>28996795They said it was machining grits clogging the gallery's, but it's more like the rod journals are too small and getting cooked.
>>28996813rod journals?
>>28996416>using a track is abuse>button marked track>lolI didn't fucking stutter anon. It doesn't mater that the button comes built in. THEY get to define what "abuse" constitutes in the warranty terms, and I'm willing to put money on anything beyond driving bellow 15K miles a year, bellow the speed limit like a grandma, constitutes "abuse"
>>28996644Wrong. The main journals are sized normally. 2.5 inches for GM, 3 for Toyota.Something else is fucky. Is it the metallurgy? Is it some spark knock error causing the journals to get beaten into a pulp before the computer notices? The Toyota v6 has a much lower failure rate in the lighter ls500 than in the tundra after all.I'd expect that some independent would've found out the truth by now, it's been literal years at this point.
>>28997480>15K miles a year, bellow the speed limit like a grandma, constitutes "abuse"It's worse than that. The new industry standard for "extreme driving conditions" thanks to ford wet belts is... stop and go traffic.
Should have bought the superior GR Yaris facelift. Cope, seethe & dilate. The GR Yaris is all over the burgerking and all cars have been bulletproof
>>28996391Wow maybe stringing out a fucking 3 cylinder to within an inch of its life to wring every ounce of power they could out of it instead of just using a bigger engine was a bad idea like I said from the start, and got shat on for it at the time.
god intended for natural aspiration
>>28996391Almost no factory performance car is track rated. You simply can't have a pure track car and still have it meets strict Street driving characteristics. Drive on a set of xp24 or DTC70 track pads for one day and see how well it goes.
>>28997546Porsche and BMW can’t stop winning
>>28997552Neither are track rated off the factory floor.Sure a few novice slaps is one thing. If you get someone who's actually pushing the car to the limit, you can overheat them. Only the top trims GT4/3 are track ready kinda.They still need pad swaps before.Slap a good set of tires on and it'll get even hotter.Stock tires even CUP2R are trash on track.1 lap wonder tires.
>>28997620Track rate this bussy
