Hosted the Bay Area meet up today.

@SacLexToy , @RMB , @tallassazn , @grid , @Pedal Logic , @The Critic and @SFO attended today.

List of jobs done:

@SacLexToy with a complete egr circuit cleanse which included pressure washing his cooler and re-install.
@RMB with an oil change
@grid with an engine coolant change @SFO with an oil change
@tallassazn with a scoping of the egr circuit cleanse and future oil catch can install
@Pedal Logic and @The Critic for social aspects .

From @SacLexToy ’s job we scoped his cylinders:

Cylinder 2:

Cylinder 3:

Cylinder 1:

Cylinder 4:


He was getting codes for multiple misfires but cylinder 2 does look wet compared to the others that are dry.

Hope everyone had a great time.

 

Great boroscope stills, and thanks again for hosting the meetup. Always a great time even if it's raining, or if ashes falling from the sky from the northern fires.

 

Thanks again @Raytheeagle for hosting this meet and inviting me. And especially for your time and expertise in the EGR circuit cleanse. It was great meeting every one!

My car ran perfectly on 1 hr 45 min drive home. Hoping that's the new normal!

Would love to hear opinions on the piston scoping. The difference in Cyl 2 is more obvious with the pics side by side than it appeared when looking separately yesterday. It didn't strike me as being wet at the time. Is it possible the difference is more zoom level and lighting setting on that one. Also, what are the small "drop" looking objects on Cyl 4?

 

To be continued...
Happy Thanksgiving!

 

Just want to say thanks to everyone that posts so many help documents and guides on this forum. My bumper and splash guard was destroyed earlier this year during snow season. I finally decided to replace and paint my front bumper myself this summer.

Literally 1 week after I had my bumper painted and replaced I got in a minor fender bender, ruining all the work i put in on my car .
Nevertheless I used this opportunity to install an after market body kit and self install some LED DRL lights using a 2amp fusetap)

Without this forum i would have never been able to learn so much about my own car. Heres some pics.

Package includes duraflex body kit (front lip, rear lip, side skirts) based on the Ken-Style polyurethane body kit + duraflex Tk-1 wing spoiler and self installed LED DRL strip

 

Rare seeing a blue prius here, my mom had one lol, really rare. Most of the cars on here is either white, grey or black, or yea.. TK-rockets red one lol. The spoiler looks so much smaller on that blue prius, it looks huge on white prius`s.

 

Here’s another red one for you:



Over 9 years old and still keeps a good luster.

 

So weird thinking how old cars from 2010 and stuff r... Like... it sounds like they r only 2-3 years old, but nope... theyre almost 10 years old...

 

Old, but running strong.

Still one of the best purchases we have made.

 

Santa came early for this one. Totally unnecessary but why not now just wanting on pads

 

Black box, black center of the rotors, i think u have a decent excuse, black friday.

 

Just an excuse to get to the track!

I've got el cheapo slotted drilled with decent pads, I definitely noticed an increase in stopping power. Plus, they look awesome. My set for the whole car was 130 dollars.

 

Somewhat prepping for autocross in the near future. I still have the original stock brakes and thought I might as well upgrade now. Set wasn’t cheap but searching and waiting for the right time made it happen

 

A Prius Chat member stopped by the Shop and we noticed this......





Oh Snap!!!


iPhone ?

 

Lowered her back down and put back on the rims and lip. It looks so much better

 

You NEED that vent filter!

 

The best thing you can do for autocross is chassis stiffening, the TRD rear bar is a game changer. After that it's all about tires and driver skill. I'd like the say the rotors and pads helped but the courses are so short you never get into brake fade territory. Get the best tires you can get, stiffen the car up and go at it. You'll have a ton of fun, and enjoy playing "youre driving a camero and lost to a Prius". Just be sure to force charge in between runs, you'll have an amazing time and surprise a lot of people with how fast the car is. I've posted a bunch of videos of me doing autocross here.

 

Lol this baby is as stiff as it can be
Cusco, Hotchkis, Tanabe, Revel, Rays and some
