eBay finds...
Let's post here all the weird and wacky yaris-related stuff you can find on ebay...
To start off, here's a nice one, a set fake paddle shifters! http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/M3-SM...40417520QQrdZ1 How cool is that?

actually that one's a step int he right direction, as the O2 sensor is one of the main contributor to the ECU's air/fuel ratio. But as for that simple thing adding horsepower, it won't. But it's worth looking into in association with a light turbo or supercharger...

I saw those paddle shifters yesterday - thats another ridiculous piece right there, something else to add to your car that doesnt function and makes it look like its something its not...If i got into one of my friends cars and so those and then realized they werent functional - i'd slap him in the face, not with my hand mind you - with a board or something similar..

well you cooooould go all DIY mad scientist and mount hinges and microswitches and wire them into the auto gearbox ECU and make it actually functional... That would be one hell of a mod!!

I think it is impossible to +15hp just change air fuel ratio if the fuel pump and injector are still in original |

Hard to believe peeps will buy something not real to fool others. It has nice look but definitely a junk. |

This is looking to be a very useful thread! Or at least a fairly amusing one...
I personally think the fake paddle shifters could work for mounting some controls for my (future) carPC, so I don't think it's a huge waste IMO. I will post some FleaBay stuff soon myself!
