🎉 555 Engineering: Buttonwillow Time Attack Recap 🏁
What a day! Our 2nd official GR Corolla Time Attack at Buttonwillow Raceway Park was a massive success — and a true celebration of the GR community.
🔥 23 GR Corollas took to the track to battle for the leaderboard — from stock to fully built — and every single one finished strong.
💪 Zero mechanical DNFs all day — proof of the reliability, prep, and passion this community brings.
☀️ Perfect weather, tight competition, and good vibes all around.
Huge thanks to everyone who came out, from drivers and sponsors to friends who made the trek to watch. Each event keeps raising the bar for what this platform can do.
We’ll see you at the next one. 🏎️💨

Super honored to have been a part of the final chapter of @savagegeese GRC series. Thanks for having me on the Channel!
And also, just happy to finally provide the GRC community a solution to the AWD issue.
Hopefully @toyota_gazoo_racing can continue investing in this platform, and continue providing us interesting enthusiast vehicles.

Flashback to not so long ago Japan! 🇯🇵🏎️
555 Engineering was honored to have met with the famous @frogdrive ! A Japanese manufacturer of aero and composite parts in Chiba who have already designed a number of WRC widebody kits and wings for the GR Yaris and Subaru STI team.
Now, they’re turning their attention to the GR Corolla! 😲
Projects in work right now:
• Rally RC2 style wing for the rally-spec aesthetic.
• Swan neck wing for the circuit type build (we actually watched them test the prototype at our recent Suzuka track day!).
• And maybe a few other things 🐿️🤫
Ready to join the FrogDrive wang gang? 🐸✈️
Slide into our DMs for details on the first batch of GRC wings. 📩
Also pictured:
• A super cool Honda S660 which we wish they had in the US!
• Michael pointing at the wrong thing, because Kanjis are hard
Had such an amazing time at Sonoma Raceway today! All the late nights & hours to get this car ready for the track today paid off. Got first place at @555engineering GRC time attack. PB’d and set a respectable 1:51 lap. Gave friends ride alongs. The car performed so well and super consistent. The vibes were immaculate today and it was awesome catching up with friends. Can’t thank all my sponsors enough for getting this car to this point. Special shoutout to @annexsuspension for the amazing coilovers that perform so well on and off track, thanks to @555engineering for developing kits that allow me to push the car lap after lap and not worry about overheating on track, thanks to @artecperformance for their amazing turbo kit and always supporting me and showing me love. Thanks to @nankangmotorsport for creating such grippy tires that gives me the confidence to push the car to the limit and thanks to @bcb_brake for the awesome brake kit.
Happy GRC Time Attack! Come find us at Garage 11 for sign ups and raffle prizes.

Best upgrades for the GR Corolla/Yaris stock calipers
* BCB Brake Kit
* Girodisc rotors
* Endless MX72+ pads
Just installed @bcb_brake full set of Stainless Steel Vented Pistons & Boots with upgraded seals for my brake calipers. This is the perfect refresh my braking system needed before the start of my track season!
If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your factory brake setup, you can pick up a set through 555 Engineering’s website and use code KONG5 for 5% off stainless steel piston kits. The full kit comes with everything you need! @555engineering also sells girodisc rotors and the Endless pads you see in this video

Excited to officially welcome @bcb_brake as a new sponsor for my GR Corolla time attack build
Just unboxed their full set of Stainless Steel Vented Pistons & Boots with upgraded seals for my brake calipers, and I can’t wait to test them at the @555engineering GRC Time Attack this weekend.
For those who don’t know, the factory dust boots on these calipers are fragile and prone to melting or tearing under heavy heat — mine were already melted. The BCB Brake kit solves that issue with high-temp silicone piston boots designed to handle significantly more heat, along with upgraded heat-treated stainless pistons that are extended to properly clear the thicker high-temp boots. The pistons are also vented for additional cooling under hard track use.

Track Proven at Suzuka! 🇯🇵 🏎️
We recently had the privilege of track testing our full GRC Cooling Package at Japan’s F1 track, Suzuka Circuit. Coming to Japan has been a surreal experience for the 555 Engineering team. It’s one thing to build a kit; it’s another thing entirely to see it performing on a world-class F1 circuit like Suzuka.
We came to prove ourselves. 30-minute sessions at full tilt on one of the world’s most demanding tracks, and the Package didn’t miss a beat 🆒 👌🏼 .
But the best part? The Japanese GR Corolla Community. Hanging out with the local community and experiencing the passion and sense of family was absolutely the highlight of our trip.
We were humbled by the hospitality of our hosts @kota_tsuchiya_335r@satellitegarage and everyone else we had the privilege of meeting. We cannot thank you enough for having us 🙇.
