Wow! MI raised the price...5 days before I make my order. Awesome! Now it will be at least 3 weeks before I can afford it!

you may want to email them or call them. if it really was that you missed that window by that short of a time, they may work with you.

you never know if you don't try.

Looks like our sales price timed out (I have to enter dates into the cart for discounts). I'll look into it.

I thought it was $139 or something....but now you can get black or red. Mine is just silver. I got mine on a black friday deal so it was a touch less. I then waited like 4 months to put it on. That sucked.

Things aren't always what they seem. I've had the NST pulley installed for 5 years with no issues, and a big difference in throttle response. Don't believe me? Pretty cheap to try it out for yourself.

(And pretty straightforward too, thanks to jpmck03)

9 months, no problems whatsoever. Only issues I've heard about it is getting the belt at the right tension after installing it (happened to me, too). Not a biggie, the belt squeaks a little and you tighten it up!

NST made a similar version of this pulley back in the day, people have run them for tens of thousands of miles without any issues. The MI one is a bit better from a build point of view, so you should be good to go for the life of your Yaris.

Edit: What tk-421 said!

90k miles, improved engine response, less gear hunting in the automatic when climbing hills, improved MPG and ZERO issues. I'm using the nst version and can say without a doubt a very worthwhile and noticeable modification. Laws of physics apply here, less rotational mass!

Alright I let this go on long enough and cleaned it up. If the newb can't understand the simple laws of physics and rotational mass (and that you can't even see the crank pulley, so there goes the decoration theory) there is no use arguing. This is a simple DIY write up on installing a new pulley, not a debate of opinion which ignores physics, science, and facts.

My brother and I had this argument for a few hours today. My point was that it would help me merge onto the highway a bit easier, especially with all the uphill on ramps around here. He argued it would only help with high rpms, like 5k+... Idk I just think its worth a try, since I'm revving high to merge anyway. Plus I just like working on cars and fresh car parts ;)

^ If you mean to retrofit your headlights, it's a kit-in-a-box and only sold that way.
