What did you do to ur Gen III Prius today????

Looks good Pete! Window tint is a must on the v.

 

I did the upper grill myself.. It was easy.. But i tried do the lower lip and couldn't lol.. I'm only good at nice even flat surfaces. I usually will have a local tint shop do it for me if I'm unable to... Start by calling around and see who installs tinted taillights.. Then u should find someone locally who will do it.

 

I was running 38 psi, and lots of rattles, even more when it was at 32 psi for the fronts ><

 

That defies logic. Was this test or observation made with the same tires and when temps were the same? I.e. you can't expect to run the test with 32psi in the morning at 40F then run another test in the afternoon at 38psi at 80F. Temperature plays a big part in rattles and softness of tires.

 

This was a test, temperatures are getting abit warmer. I will try lowering it to 35psi to see how it goes.

it's around 6- 10 degrees Celsius here. What would the recommended tire pressure be for the front and back ?

thanks F8L, I'm trying to figure out if the tire pressure plays a role the rattling sounds I'm experiencing with my JDM steering wheel and windows

 

hey bzyrice, how did you install the 2 leather piece of the Clazzio covers that goes on the side of the rear seats, like the side trim ?

thanks

 

You are still running the Nitto tires right? I can't say for sure with those but when temps dropped below 50F (10C), I dropped my EP422 205/50/17s down to 36psi to try andreduce rattles. With higher pressures the rattles were worse and the ride was too bumpy. The EP422 is a pretty mushy tire. Probably more mushy than your Nittos. I'd just air them down to what is pleasing to you. Seriously, a 1-2mpg difference is nothing when it means the difference between enjoying your car and being annoyed by it.

 

Wait, why is your steering wheel rattling?

I wish you were local. I'd swap wheels with you so you could test a softer tire and see how it affects your issues.

 

I followed the directions.. but I had my brother in law help me.. Basically to get it to fit in between the plastic pieces, one of us shoved a screw driver inbetween while the other person pushed the fabric inbetween... that was the bigest PITA out of the whole install. But after we did one side.. the other side was easy peasy.. let me know how it goes!

 

for the side with the vent, there's not much space where you can shove the fabric in between

 

not sure, whats going on with my steering wheel at the moment. Are you going to the Toyotafest ?

 

I had not planned on it. It's pretty far from me. Why?

 

we can swap wheels, and you could try them out, haha

 

I've just installed my Sirius Radio by unsnap the dash components covers, hidding all the wiring cables into the dash and I installed it near the driver left air flow trap. It's cool! Thanks to made the dash so much easier to remove

 

Hey, I'm curious, how do you have bypass the airbag system? I would like to add a seat heating device, I've found it but to install it I've to disassembly the seats and into the disassembly guide they said that I've to bypass the seat airbag detector

Thanks

 

Ohh! I didn't know you would be there. Long Beach is a long way from Canada eh?

 

ooh can't wait to see pics!!
