With how many thousands of Yarii that have been sold in the USA, why do people insist on getting Canadian ones with KMH? Baffles me.

Another guy did this recently out in Arizona and for the life of me, I couldn't understand why. A tach is not necessary for these cars, but if you want it and tanking the resale value on your car is worth it, more power to ya.

The reason I want a tach is because I run 1/4 at least once a month. My car is turbo if you did not notice. Im tired of hitting the rev limiter every time I shift. Also the reason for getting a Canadian cluster is because they had tach's in the HB since 2006 & the US models with tach's were from 2008+ S models which are very rare. As for the resale value, if and when I decide to sell I can always reinstall the original cluster.

All valid points. I noticed your car was turbo, it's definitely a hot ride. I wasn't trying to be a total doucheface about it, I was legitimately asking, and thank you for actually responding instead of just like the other meathead.

I don't like how they light up amber either. I have an '09+ and the lady has an '08. I like her cluster better, but at least my amber matches my radio and air con. Hers is white/green. Odd. Keep the resale value thing in mind though, because you can't just swap back to the old cluster and then sell the car. The old cluster won't be accumulating miles on it while sitting on the shelf in the garage. I see this answer a lot when cluster swapping comes around and I wonder if people actually think of this.

Then again, I guess if you're turbo'd and all that warranty-voiding jazz, then incorrect mileage isn't really going to deter you. Again, nice ride.
