T Montague's 2zr swap - '08 m/t sedan some extra info - Toyota Yaris Forums

06YarisRS · 06-16-2019, 03:25 PM

Revisiting the EBay gauge pod. I know, Trevor, that it didn't work for your sedan despite the listing saying that it would fit. I took many pics of the A-pillar cover in my '08 and '06 and this aftermarket A-piller looks very similar at every point. In my pic below, you can see that the Sedan has a very different A-Piller design than the hatch. Even though it looks as though they have tried to recreate the actual pillar, I would expect some fit and finish issues as well as having to figure out a way to attach the pod. Also, it's much shinier than my OEM pillar. I could adjust for that with a satin of flat clearcoat. I'm thinking I might order this pod, keeping in mind that some adjustments may have to be made. I'm not finding other locations in the car to mount gauges that are appealing to me. I could drill my driver's side upper glove box, but not really into that.

During my supercharger build I played with a 2D laser cutter and mocked up a plastic gauge panel for the upper glovebox. It was just big enough for a ScanGauge II and two 55mm dials, but I never completed it. It's less than ideal on the track since you'd have to look that far down to see anything but it could be ok for less immediate information. There's a thread around here somewhere with my template...

Sounds interesting. I'll definitely have a look around for that thread. Thanks.

Found it. Looks like I never posted the schematics. I'll take a look in my archives tonight-ish.
