Prius gen. 4 refresh

Sorry, your photo didn't display! A 1600 Sprint had British (Blemhhhish Yuck, spit, spit!!) electrical and brakes. Would definitely not be reliable! The 69 Spiders were blessed with Bosch electricals, fuel injection, and ATE Lockheed power brakes, AND they had a 1779cc more powerful motor, with () NO smog pump, catalytic converter etc.!! I sold my splendidly running Boat Tail with original motor, starter, etc, with 260,000 miles!! It weighed 2300 Lbs, had a 456 resr end was a blast to drive, and VERY easy to service!!

try again - if not - click on the link on your last post, it opened from there for me:

 

That was my 1969 1750 GTV, which was the descendant of the 1600 Giulia Sprint.
And of course shared with the 1969 spider veloce that I had, the totally reliable brakes and electrical. It is my favorite car of all time! It should look similar to the car whose photo I still haven't been able to see.

Congratulations Alan. I've only lost 11kg, bit still working on it... sort of.

 

You could leave your spare wheel/tyre at home - that could give the desired weight reduction.

[I cut sugar considerably as well as reduced carbs]

 

Brave lads! Me, I'd have to use duct tape, over mouth (and stay away from nearby See's Candies store!!)!

I wasn't certain if you meant, the "spare tire" around my midsection, or the spare tire (tyre?) for the car!

 

Careful comparison of the figures in the Structural Outline section of the Collision Repair Manual, available by subscription to techinfo.toyota.com, reveals some other changes for 2018 I haven’t seen discussed elsewhere. Some parts of the body near the rocker panels seem to have been changed from 590 MPa high strength steel to 1180 MPa ultra high strength steel, for example.

 

It will be interesting to see if they have IIHS retest it.

 

Even Entune would be better than what we have in Canada. Here the Prius does not have Entune (notwithstanding that it's documented in the manual.) Yet the same model in the US has Entune.

 

All entune gives me is a constant nagging to log in at the start of each trip. I can’t tell the difference logged in or not.

 

sounds like you want a CRZ

 

I was going to buy that car, until I saw the specs, including no plug-in capability. My most important criteria at the time, was plug in power so that I could use the HOV lane in Southern California. Up to that point, I had owned Hondas for about 20 years! Unfortunately that little car is also very heavy and doesn't have much power for its size. Instead, Honda should have evolved the original Insight Coupe. That car, with bigger battery, plug-in capability, and the lightweight would have been great. It was also available as a stick or an automatic.
