sorry if it seems that way. I am just sharing my thoughts and opinions man. That is what a forum or enthusiast site is about. I am enthusiastic btw...I love my Yaris. I mean, I did buy one! I am also realistic about it...I don't know, maybe I am just used to driving fast cars or something but 100HP doesn't get me excited.

ya, i know what you mean...my last car was faster too

but i still enjoy the yaris...its zippy enough

but more fun in the corners than a straight line, thats for sure

but ANYWAYS...i like having a tach in an MTX car....but mine was stock!

My Scanguage II has a digital tach built in. I prefer an analog dial for a more realtime response though.
The scanguage tach tends to lag annoyingly.

and it shouldn't..

but banging a hampsterwheel into it's Rev Limit still is bad for it...

thus the 5spd SHOULD HAVE COME FROM THE FACTORY WITH A TACH..








but toyota is cheap as FK...

I think if I put my A/T into "3" it just keeps climbing the rev ladder. I tried it but stopped since it seemed to keep going and going......
