Tachy Idea - Toyota Yaris Forums

HTM Yaris · 01-19-2007, 05:03 PM

Has anybody thought about putting a Tachometer in the vent on the drivers side near the side view mirror . The duct could be rerouted to that "valley" area in between the vent and cupholder with holes drilled or shark style gills pointing toward the window . You could use carbon fiber as a backing plate . I know somebody around here is smart enough to get it done .

P.S. If you make a shitload of cash from this Idea , thats OK . Just be decent enough to send me a fuckin Tshirt :)

considered, didnt wanna lose that vent... and I'd say thats probably the consensus. Once thats done, goin back to stock is quite an ordeal.

You really shouldn't be scanning all over dashboard from centre to left air vent. Best to have it in your line of sight.

Question.

Is the US 3dr Yaris LB mid dash smaller then the 5d Yaris/Vitz LB?

Following question.
If not, is it possible to get the same spd and tach attached to the US 3dr Yaris LB?

It's the same physical size, but the wiring is a little different, so it can't be a straight replacement. Look around, there's been a couple of threads about this before
