Took a 3 year break, but Im back!

Welcome back..... Looks like a low mileage beauty...

 

Welcome back.

What did you pay for her?

 

Welcome back!!!

Sweet wheels!

Make sure to treat her right and baby her as she has been in the past, hehe

 

In my book, that car wouldn't even be described as 'cool' if that was the average battery life span. Obama endorsed it, even said he would buy, own and drive one when he leaves office. We're still waiting. Wait, Chevy said sales were poor and scrap the car all together.

 

It must be nice to have redesigned pistons, piston rings, and inverter. My 2011 Prius 4 doesn't have any of those goodies

 

I'm not sure what pistons and rings this would have. I did enter the info as a 2015, but as you can see it's described as "2011~2015". Maybe all currently manufactured short block assemblies would be with the revised part numbers. Either way, a new lease on life. There's US sites similar, but they don't seem to ship to Canada. Easier to ship across the Pacific.

Buy short block assembly for Toyota Prius XW30 (12.2011 - 11.2015) - Amayama

^ Interesting site, I've ordered one cosmetic item, and it's supposedly located and on it's way to me.

 

Ah accessorizing .

Whatcha get?

Or is it a second perfectly placed maple leaf .

 

The cover for the bare wires atop the engine bay ECU, not bad: $4.92 + $10 for shipping (CDN).

8282176010

 

Now you’ll be able to pressure wash your engine bay.

2x the cost in shipping though .

I’m sure it’ll be packed tightly in an oversized box.

 

$15 CDN all-in is not bad. Google the part number from US sites, it's usually around $10 (in US funds), before shipping.

Such small cross-the-pacific items usually show up in very minimal packaging, basically a plastic envelope with a layer of bubble wrap lamination, if warranted. As often as not I don't incur any extra charges, not even sales tax. It's slow, but hey.

They have short blocks, btw...

 

$20-22 on ebay from japan

 

That was great blue color.
One time we had ours and a Red Prius and a blue Prius in a parking lot side-by-side, but we did not grab photo unfort.

 

Welcome Back...

I have to mention however, that I think getting 100,000 miles out of your Volt was a pretty good.
I'm assuming it was still viable when you sold it.

 

i thought volts were good for several hundred thousand

 

No way! I heard millions! When a president speaks, it's the truth!

 

Welcome back. 2015 Gen3. That was my first PRIUS, although mine was base Two trim. (I don't think there was One trim back then.) It was a nice car, but I wanted a plug-in, thus my current PRIME.

Did you ever think about the PRIME for your new drive? I am fairly certain it would be better than Volt.

 

Then NOW is a great time to do any and everything the Prius needs to have done to it.
And to make any modification you wanted to make!

Turning the stupid back up beeping crap was the FIRST thing I did!
I finally got around to replacing the pretend stock horns with the Fiamme(spelling?) horns.
HUGE difference!
