Under the windshield panel there’s a a metal bit that goes across the front of the car that can come undone, even without crashing! Tighten it up and the nock should go away…
I would find a bump that you can drive over on one side at a time. See if it does it regardless of which side is going over the bump. If it does it both sides, I would check all the exhaust bolts. Especially near the front. It sounds like a smaller part. Not like motor or trans. Maybe more like anti roll bar, or some mounting bracket. -Simon Fisher
Engine/gearbox mounts, failing joints,drop link or top mount but if they check the shocks mounts then then start looking at the others that's mentioned
That noise is possibly an engine mount/s. The steering wheel you could draw the line through the spacer and line it up that way. Steering wheels are a nightmare I took delivery of a brand new 2019 SEAT Leon Cupra and someone had drawn on the steering wheel prior to taking delivery. After a botched attempt from the dealership to repair it the only fix was a new wheel but the dealership reluctantly agreed to replace it when SEAT Corporate intervened. I drove to the dealership happy with the new steering wheel that's until I drove off & the wheel was off center. I headed straight back & in true style the dealership called their technician denied any responsibility and said the steering wheel is impossible to put back incorrectly & my tracking must be off despite it being perfect when I arrived. I was told by teh SEAT Tech who did the job it was impossible to fit the steering wheel incorrectly as it only goes on one way and it is not adjustable and the splines do not fit if you move it. After wasting my breath I decided to take my car to another SEAT dealership & they investigated. The fix the took the wheel off and moved it two notches to the left. I complained to SEAT Corporate again and they sent me a food hamper and was very apologetic.
Take the seat slider bar off, stick it in a vice and bend the end up 45 degrees saves your fingers and solves the issue. Have you checked if an engine mounts split?
Unsurprisingly. Toyota do not cater for a bald bloke in a back street garage and I love the steering wheel in the wrong place excuse for crashing. Get your arms lengthened.
I think the foundations of the car which are bushings on where the car engine sits are cracked that's why the engine is moving up and down on bumps causing the noice
Probably not your case, but on my old Toyota Rav4 front brake calipers was the culprit, guide pins wore out, easy to chceck, if you brake during the bump there is no noise.
I'd take that lower torque mount out and see if the bushing has split. It's a quick job. And while you're taking it out you might as well swap it for the Cusco torque mount instead to improve the shifting.
lee, are the drop links on the correct way? to me it looks like when the car is on the ground the angle of the drop links is too much and it could be binding causing the knock, most drop links are straight vertical, ie mounted to the other side of the arb
That noise sounds like engine mount under the coolant res. Either it got cracked on the casing or the rubber is damaged causing the engine to jump when going over bumps. Only reasonable explanation i can think of.
Just remember the drivers air bag was calibrated and set up for the oem seat height and steering position. But hopefully it won’t ever go off. All those repair issues would play havoc with my OCD but fine as a track car I suppose.
Did you reuse the bolts for the subframe? If so sometimes they are stretch bolts and should be replaced if undone. My TTS was knocking and turned out it was the subframe bolts were reused and causing the knocking. Love the content hope to see more frequent videos!
the 'wavey' panel, someone pointed out to me their wavey panel and said they all have them (GR's) so i checked mine and i wish i fuckin hadn't. sticks out like a sore thumb now! Oh and your mirror riser rises the mirror by 6mm, all of them are a rip off mod.
Engine mount? I had one crack after a car was damage repaired. That made a knocking that was hard to find. It was knocking over bumps, as it got worse it did it under hard acceleration

front strut brace and rear brace is needed if you havent!!
Hi mate I repair crash damaged cars, or my business does anyway. Are you sure you haven’t dropped something down scuttle or light or bumper? You’d be surprised at how many times that happens and the knock is a bolt somewhere. Obviously others have said check engine mounts and I agree but I wouldn’t expect these to go how this is happening if I’m honest. Sometimes it’s best to start taking things off and just examine everything, doesn’t cost you anything to do that. Did you use new bolts when you did all suspension work? Realigning that bonnet should be 10 mins work too just adjust at the top, shouldmt move once you put it on if it’s tight enough. Is the catch all ok, it’s not that making the noise? Don’t wear harness on the street mate hans should always be worn with harness as you’ll snap your neck if not. Have you got some tuition booked so this doesn’t happen again? Most investment you can make is in yourself bud, nothing embarrassing about that. To edit this have you put them drop links on the right way?😅
Maybe check your strutts. If that seem sealer cracked then some force has hit the strutt tower. If that force has come through the strutt (most obvious way) then your actual strutt could be snapped inside or bent. If that was my car id be looking at strutts and the hub on that drivers side front
@evilgtlee I've been buying bumped cars for 23 years so I've seen it all. You'd be suprised how something looks okay behaves okay but can actually be broken. Almost certainly it will be the strutt itself and the wheel bearing could also be bent. Cars are built so lightly now everything light weight thin metal
@@DaleSteel They swapped struts over to the other side and it was still making the noise on the same side as before they swapped, so it cannot be the struts, I'd say an engine mount.
@@kevinburke8361theres a reason why most people who bought into the hype, sold the car 6 months later and why theres so many on autotrader. They just arent worth the money, but will eventually be a good second hand buy. But 40k for a yaris? Lol.
He doesn’t need to be faster it’s a great car for him to be introduced to track driving in. Rear wheel drive would have him off in 2 seconds no offence mate although taking some drifting lessons wouldn’t be a bad idea at all due to how he lost the car.
You are one of those infuriating people who always wants to go cheap Penny wise pound foolish as they say! You’ve cheaped out on the repairs and are now disappointed with the final results. Love the content but just frustrating to watch lol
Well I'm upset beyond... No Ben and no new coat! Every good band gets back together at some point 👍
I asked him last week if he had any interest in doing videos and he said “not with you no” 😂
@@evilgtleeshit, did he find out about you sleeping with his wife? I told you it was a bad idea 😂
@@evilgtlee 😂 Lee tell him to get a grip and get something done on the original channel.
@@evilgtleeyour so much better on your own mate. Great video.
Sorry You two can't make more videos, I miss you two on the screen!!!
Great to see you again pal! Miss this! Kinda like the old days 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I reckon the noise is the sound of all your remaining dignity leaking out of the holes in those crocs
Haha yeah that’s exactly right 😂
Good answer
😂
Miss the good old days - good to see you Lee 👍🏼
That knock is the tax man 😂
They don’t knock they bang😅
Most probably 😂

Thanks I’ll try that 💪
@@evilgtleeI would also inspect the lower control arm bolts if you reused the old ones. I read a bunch of ppl had issues with them.

Great video mate
Its the little things that make it your own 👍
Great to see you back on UA-cam, loving the updates on the Yaris
Great to see your still up for doing the vids and if benji isnt interested at the minute then the success of the evil gt brand will live on
I had the same with ohlins and DNA too mounts make sure it’s all assembled properly failing that speak to Ben at String Theory 😊
Brilliant. Love an Evil GT video. Hope you’re well Lee. 👍
Thanks mate 🙏
I had a steering wheel spacer on mine. Couldn’t wait to remove it. Not being able to reach the indicator stalks from the wheel is a massive PITA
Good vid mate. Bit late but you could have got the spacer cheaper via swift performance as they are the uk importers
Ahh ok I didn’t see anywhere in the UK that sold them 😩
It’s not an engine mount is it Lee? Good to have you back mate, you’ve been missed.
😂Lee your carefree attitude is funny
Lee that knocking noise is 100% coming from the steering column hitting the firewall over bumps id put £50 on it
Could Benji be hiding at the top of a strut tower and that's what the speedbump knock is?
You know what, you might have just fixed the issue 😂
I reckon Ben done a runner in the drift car lol😊
💯🙌😂
Great to see you again Lee! Great little video. Can't help you with the knock unfortunately but have you checked engine mounts? 🤔
Thanks mate. It’s sounding like it could be the mount, Toyota are replacing them on other cars by the sound of it

Yeah, your back, I was just wondered the other if you were going to do another video or if you had decided to pack it in.
Glad to see this upload
Oh my god your back still flying the flag with ya merch long live gt

Good 2c u back lee
Thanks mate
Great video mate, keep up the good content ❤
Unsurprisingly. Toyota do not cater for a bald bloke in a back street garage and I love the steering wheel in the wrong place excuse for crashing. Get your arms lengthened.
Like your video, but I have made a record of your number plate as it is definitely one car I would not buy😂😂😂
It’s ok I’m keeping it forever 😂
Did you check engine mounts? Looks like it wobbled a lot over that bump!
I think the foundations of the car which are bushings on where the car engine sits are cracked that's why the engine is moving up and down on bumps causing the noice
Looks like you need your Airbag removal certificate pal 😂😂
😂
Thought every car had adjustable seatbelts now, normally just push a button on the plastic bit that holds belt in and it will slide up or down.
£300+ for a spacer, wow !!
Good to see you back mate have you checked the engine mounts ??
They are getting checked next
Probably not your case, but on my old Toyota Rav4 front brake calipers was the culprit, guide pins wore out, easy to chceck, if you brake during the bump there is no noise.
Good to see you back fella. The car looks proper nice and hopfully get to see plenty of fast laps soon.
Good to see you again I miss evil gt

dont use fixed racing harnesses on road, in case of massive crash you will break your neck, always use HANS device with racing harnesses
yes Lee brilliant to see you back on YT :-)
What happened to Ben? I always got the impression that there was some wife swapping going on, that can cause friends to fall out. 🍩🔥
😂
Haha lee why you always get these funny noises on your cars reminds me of the gtr 😂
Top job lee 👍..surely a certificate is on its way 😂
lee, are the drop links on the correct way? to me it looks like when the car is on the ground the angle of the drop links is too much and it could be binding causing the knock, most drop links are straight vertical, ie mounted to the other side of the arb

Thanks I’ll get that checked out 💪
Are you sure the uprated parts fit ok and aren’t knocking like anti roll bar is same size as oem
Don’t no this platform but is there a steering thrust bush on the rack maybe nice to see another vid lee
Tell benji no excuse yes he works full time now but could easily make 1 video every week on a weekend its not the same without both of you 😢
Miss you guys on UA-cam that’s for sure
Just remember the drivers air bag was calibrated and set up for the oem seat height and steering position. But hopefully it won’t ever go off. All those repair issues would play havoc with my OCD but fine as a track car I suppose.
Good to see you back Lee......love the crocs mate 😂😂😂😂
Car seat belt adjuster for kids - from car spares auto shops 😅
Hi Lee, agree with other comment, just like the GTR days. Great to see your upload and thank you. Has ben really thrown toys out pram?
Great to see you back, need to get you and benji together again 👍 great content as always 👌
I would think its a rubber bush failed lee glad to see you back take care m8

Hi have u checked the engine mounts to see if they are lose bec I had that on my rs a nock then it turned out it was that just a thought
My money would be on the engine mount
You can get bucket seats that have sleeve with a button pop on that holds the seatbelt in a better position.
I’ll have a look at getting something like that added to the seats. MTS should be able to retro fit something like that
@evilgtlee you can get aftermarket ones. I'll send you a link on next message YT might freeze the comment so with a link in it

That’s sounding more and more like it’s going to be the problem
Sound like anti roll bar to me check brackets and bushes
Not the same with out benji you two bounce of each other don't feel right not hearing benji talk in the back ground 😕 great video tho lee👏
