ordered Micro Image Short Throw - Toyota Yaris Forums

Golddeenoh · 04-15-2012, 07:30 PM

Well i just ordered a short throw with a 3inch extension a little while ago looking forward to putting it in.

Golddeenoh · 04-19-2012, 07:46 PM

Just installed it, the factory clips that hold the cables to the bracket are a pain to get out, but one I got those out it was easy to install and what a difference it is, it might take me a little while to get used to it.

now what should i get from micro to do to me car.... ? :D

why? · 04-19-2012, 08:56 PM

so how does it feel? How much shorter are the throws? Oh, and you should order everything they have. =)

Spidermandud · 04-19-2012, 09:21 PM

^YEAH.

Getcha a nice head unit. Everyone loves getting head. Units.

Golddeenoh · 04-19-2012, 10:26 PM

I fully understand the term "notchy" it feels more like it actually follows the pattern displayed on the shift knob. it appears to have taken a great deal of travel distance out of it I would say maybe around 45%. I only drove it up the street and back I'll have to try it out around town more. It is a trany set up so I will have to get an interior short throw, but if the micro image one did that much, an interior one added to it might make it only move half an inch between the forward and aft gear sets. that might be too much movement reduction. wait what was i talking about ....

I would like to but it's a yaris not a 18 wheeler so putting both a supercharger and a turbo would be over kill and probably pull too much boost to handle, both in control and for the engine to handle it.

TOLMACH · 04-20-2012, 12:15 AM

So you ordered both the ss and the matching bracket that they have?

cali yaris · 04-20-2012, 10:02 AM

^ Yes, he ordered the complete kit. The brackets help relieve tension on the cables for a smoother feel. It's more notchy without it.

This kit reduces throw about 30% up and down direction, it doesn't change throw from side to side (which I think is fine like it is).

Golddeenoh · 04-20-2012, 11:18 AM

now for the important part, the stickers. :D they should add some extra hp along with my racing strip. :D

cali yaris · 04-20-2012, 11:38 AM

LOL, that is well known. There are dynos to prove it.

Thanks a lot

I just ordered mine, will share my impressions once I get it

mr_miles · 04-20-2012, 05:06 PM

If stickers add HP, I think i need to go to the dyno....I might break a record!

Spidermandud · 04-20-2012, 08:29 PM

If I remember correctly; it's approximately 100hp per sticker, and most everyone feels that two stickers is the optimally efficient allotment.

User "mr miles" may have more information.

remember that it is a trany side kit and may take some work to get to. but worth it once it is done.

Enjoy it I want a ssk too. Now get some coilovers next.

CrankyOldMan · 04-23-2012, 10:40 AM

I wasn't sure about the SSK when I did it, but after a few weeks I got used to the effort and throw distance. I can't imagine going back to stock, and I'd like to get an adjustable one for the cabin side of things.
