    Hi guys I recently got a 2009 Gen 3 I-tech Prius, doing to do some mods to it. Looking at some suspension mods, a few cosmetic mods and maybe changing the MFD to the android one that I see hanging around.
    I'm in Australia so the problem is sourcing these parts.
    I'm hoping to see what and how other Aussie Prius owners have done to their rides.

    Hi mate welcome aboard. I'm also an Aussie and have a 2010 Tasman Blue I-tech. The Japanese sites are best for parts

    The word is slowly getting out about the Prius' merits in Aus. I still can't believe, driving out of Melbourne in peak hour, that I only see 1 or 2! It's like there's this amazing secret that know one knows about. Japan is the best place to source hot parts.

    Yerr I loving it, but I had a 2004 I-tech before this one.
    But this is great a few minor annoyances, less storage and low sound proofing. but other then that lovin it.
