[1] Grab a spare $1000
[2] Contact vendor Boomplustoys

[eijikikimaru]

Well there are these people from Thailand(http://www.vittautowheel.com/YARIS/yaris.html), but I'd go w/ contacting our vendor.

[ROCKLANDTOYOTA]

can anyone find a trd part number for the cluster??? i can try to source it that way....

[mojoyaris]

$1000 at Boomplus? Ouch.... I'd rather put the money towards my big brake kit.

[forpinks]

:cry: im crying... because your leather steering wheel is awesome!!! where did you get that??? I WANT ONE TOO...

[Dragonacc]

Love the gauge cluster. Would have been nice to get something like that factory. Although I wouldn't build my car to the point that I would need it, but for those planning to seriously mod their Yaris that would be great.

I might try and make a replacement glove box door like that when I have some free time. I'm sure I could make something and sell it for a lot less than $1000. (Obviously mine wouldn't have the gauges in it though.)

Bump for TRD cluster

[||)) (o) ||\||]

Seriously though, why buy that thing when the most unique thing about the Yaris is having gauges in the center of the dash? Dont make sense to me. Except for those without a tach of course.

[ChinoCharles]

Pssst... there isn't one liftback in the US that came with a tach. They're all tachless, which makes this cluster alluring. Well, that is if it wasn't a gillion dollars shipped from Japan.

Someone steal Dragonacc's idea and get the bezel made here and I'd bet you could make a buck or two.

[Black Yaris]

just a single pod, just for the tach would be nice right on the glove box

[Ric n Sov's Vitz RS]

Hmm this is the closest thing to what your looking for from TRD japan.. Follow link and scroll down to middle of page. it is called Tri-cluster... http://trdparts.jp/english/parts_metercover.html

Pssst... I know :biggrin:

[Ran Kizama]

Oh how I hope these become readily available for LHD vehicles...

[R0ME0]

Good find!

[ROCKLANDTOYOTA]

that only looks like the cover for the actual guages....

[contraband831]

29,500 is that about $250 USD? Gauges are not included. Nice find though

[KS SOLO]

If someone can find us a complete drivers side glove box lid, I think I can get some CF ones made to hold Tach and two gauges.

[evilreign]

Nice find! Wouldn't mind gettin that in my ride also.

[eTiMaGo]

I've found a decent looking replica here, added to my accessories group buy thread, with or without gauges.

[Ran Kizama]

Nice eTiMaGo!! Do you have installation instructions?

[eTiMaGo]

I'm not quite sure, I'll be going back to the shop monday or tuesday and I'll check on that. It either screws in or tapes on.

[Ran Kizama]

...tape? lol, oh God I hope not. Just keep us posted man! See if you can find out what size guages go in it as well. :smile:

[R0ME0]

That HKS gauge is pretty beefy lookin! I like! Is it real? Any prices on that? I am also interested in how this mounts! I'd be down to up the meter holder and the TACH!

[eTiMaGo]

That's an HKS badge in a cheap gauge (I think it's an autometer ripoff).. but it does have a buit in shift light which looks cool..

Cool! Yea get me prices! Is that gauge mechanical or electric? 80mm size gauge yes? I don't think we have anything like that over here! I def want prices on that and the trd replica gauge holder, plus how that piece mounts to the dash! I have my goodie money set aside ready to go! :thumbsup: Let me know!

[eTiMaGo]

I've got prices in the accessories group buy thread (click the pic in my sig), bur I'll be confirming fitment and sizes in a couple of days :wink:

Way ahead of you... I was going to do the same thing for a Sard stack rd-1 but unfortunately, toyota doesn't sell the box lid by itself, so you would need to find a wrecked yaris or something.

[YarisKid]

I think a single tach pod would look awesome. Not on the glove box though, maybe upper right hand corner of the dash. I can't bring myself to mount an ugly tach on my A-Pillar....

Well guys, some good news and bad news.

The gauge cover screws onto your driver's side glove box, so you'll need to drill some holes yourself.

I would not get the included gauges, they look really cheap and the left one is a boost gauge?!??! And, they don't come with any sensors, just bare wires, seems too much of a potential headache.

I could not get a measurement of the size of the gauges, they didn't have any ruler at the shop! Anyhow the small gauges look to be 1 1/2" and the large one a 3 3/8". When I buy the actual cover for whoever orders them, I will confirm the exact size before shipping.

[mojoyaris]

Decided to forget about the gauge cluster. I bought 3 Megan gauges and am now trying to decide how I want these installed. In front of the steering wheel fitted inside the drivers side glovebox or on top of the dash in the left corner or in a pod on top of the dash.
I saw the Tein version which fitted them in the center (heater control) console.
but then how would I get the aircon working? LOL.

I'll have to figure out this one.

We are measuring and mocking up a stealth gauge cluster that mounts INSIDE the glove box. It's going to be a love it or hate it thing for most of you. There is a reason we are doing it though. Our cars are going to have the ZPI turbos, and we want a real boost gauge, tach w/shift light, and a real temp gauge. The problem with the obvoius dash/A=pillar mount is OBVIOUSNESS.

We don't want to make it known there's a little more going on under the hood. When somebody looks in one of the cars we want them to see a big, goofy speedo in the middle of the dash with no tach. They'll decide: "POSER" and laugh themselves away.

Then, BAM, we open the glovebox to reveal the gauges when we want to go hunting or are at the track. M-F Stealth, S-S Race Ready. Anyhow, opinions are welcome... I'll mock it up later.

Sounds cool... But maybe it's just me, having the glovebox open when driving just seems so weird...

So... crazy idea maybe, but why not replace the glove box lid with a piece of curved plexiglass, maybe smoked so you don't see the gauges till they light up?
