Hatchback cluster w/tach? - Toyota Yaris Forums

bladesmith6 · 09-19-2010, 03:27 PM

Has anyone seen or heard of a place to pick one up? I am having absolutely no luck, I watch ebay everyday and all the online salvage dealers are coming up completely blank. They always have the basic speedo only model and ebay only gets the ones with Kph. I swear even though the price is ridiculous I would probably buy a brand new one if I could....

Toyo dealer will be able to get.

enviri · 09-19-2010, 03:47 PM

you can always trade in for a 2010 manual :P

bladesmith6 · 09-19-2010, 04:20 PM

From what I saw in previous threads trying to order it brand new if your vin doesn't match is a no go or I would try.

chrisj · 09-19-2010, 04:40 PM

You could get the kph one. It would make you think you were going faster! Is that right? :/

bladesmith6 · 09-19-2010, 05:04 PM

If I could get an overlay to change it to MPH i would definitely get one but can't seem to find any overlays, just LED swap kits...arrrggghh

Bladesmith, have you thought about just buying a tach guage and installing it on your driver glove compartment?

http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/showthread.php?t=662

That's the guide on how to install a Tach and it would look pretty good to have a large size Tach guage right in the middle of your steering wheel.

I think Micro Image has a guage pod/hood that looks really nice and it has room for 3 guages.

I'm planning on getting one as soon as I can find some guages that fits my fancy. Planning on installing Tach, Engine Temp and boost/pressure gauge when I get a turbo/super charger installed.

Yeah thought about the aftermarket tach route but it just isn't the look i want. I know it sounds childish but I kind of want the factory look so I can go "Take that toyota I got a tach anyway without spending an additional 3 grand". I really hate the things they left off this car. I mean really a manual car without a tach, how cheap is that??? Anyway thx guys I guess I'll just have to deal with it until my next car.(not a toyota)

try a junkyard....ebay is worth a shot, even though Canadian clusters are sold on there mainly.
Keep an eye out on the used item board on this forum~ MANY people have bought there cluster w/ tachs on here...some with US version and others with Canadian version.

Best of luck....you can go either way though~

bladesmith6 · 09-25-2010, 03:36 AM

ok, crazy idea... Buy a KPH one off ebay get the stock overlay/film from an "S" model cluster from the dealer(do they sell individual parts or do you have to buy the entire cluster?) and swap the films..... anybody who works at a dealer have any idea if it's feasable ?

09box · 09-25-2010, 09:19 AM

Have you thought about an ecometer? They run about $70, have a tach in them and are pretty easy to install..

bladesmith6 · 09-25-2010, 01:47 PM

Nah, really,really,really want the factory one. Any toyota techs or employees please chime in about the overlay swap pls.

pierre_tec · 09-30-2010, 04:49 PM

So the 07 09 hatch dont have tach, but the 10-11 standard have it?? I looking to buying a hatch manual, but without tach from factory, I will think again,
The Base and the S have the same tach?

You guys get your Yaris's for far cheaper than we do here (relative to median income), that's primarily the reason why.

Having driven US-spec cars in Europe for seven years, you get used to figuring out the conversion. 100 km/h is 60 mph, 50 km/h = 30 mph, etc.

Honestly, it's not that tough!

bladesmith6 · 10-01-2010, 03:34 PM

It's not a matter of that both markings are on it anyway, I just want to it to look like what SHOULD have been there in the first place if toyota wasn't a bunch of cheap douchebags. crap did I say that out loud ?

The only problem with the overlay swap is that the odometer will still read in Km

pierre_tec · 10-01-2010, 04:19 PM

I know im a bit off topic but since we are talking about the tach, I ask, do the hatch manual 2010+ come with tach??
