eTiMaGo · 07-25-2007, 11:37 AM

Let's post here all the weird and wacky yaris-related stuff you can find on ebay...

To start off, here's a nice one, a set fake paddle shifters!

How cool is that?

ASHRAF · 07-25-2007, 11:53 AM

that's ganna look cool :D

but it's not my taste

eTiMaGo · 07-25-2007, 12:06 PM

actually that one's a step int he right direction, as the O2 sensor is one of the main contributor to the ECU's air/fuel ratio. But as for that simple thing adding horsepower, it won't. But it's worth looking into in association with a light turbo or supercharger...

Slummy · 07-25-2007, 12:18 PM

Oh....well...i thought it was kinda wacky.

I will continue my search.....and will find something truly wacky in an attempt to redeem myself.

eTiMaGo · 07-25-2007, 12:21 PM

LOL how about an Echo plastic model?

I saw those paddle shifters yesterday - thats another ridiculous piece right there, something else to add to your car that doesnt function and makes it look like its something its not...If i got into one of my friends cars and so those and then realized they werent functional - i'd slap him in the face, not with my hand mind you - with a board or something similar..

eTiMaGo · 07-25-2007, 12:27 PM

well you cooooould go all DIY mad scientist and mount hinges and microswitches and wire them into the auto gearbox ECU and make it actually functional... That would be one hell of a mod!!

I think it is impossible to +15hp just change air fuel ratio
if the fuel pump and injector are still in original

ok, here's my first eBay find:

JosephDoc · 07-25-2007, 07:19 PM

Hard to believe peeps will buy something not real to fool others. It has nice look but definitely a junk.

*tk-421* · 07-26-2007, 12:45 PM

This is looking to be a very useful thread! Or at least a fairly amusing one...

I personally think the fake paddle shifters could work for mounting some controls for my (future) carPC, so I don't think it's a huge waste IMO.

I will post some FleaBay stuff soon myself!

Yeah, I've been thinking about that for a while now. Thanks for the advice! I'll definitely post the link here once that happens!

I contacted the seller for this item and he told me that there shouldn't be any problems with our Yaris ECU. He didn't really seem too sure of it, however. Also, the OBDII cable required for a PC connection can be found on eBay as well:

It was a great eight year run, but it was time to focus on other things. I'm still selling parts on eBay under microimage seller ID and customers can still make requests for anything specific.
