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

Just added a little WiFi ELM327, charged the iPhone 4 and boom, data tsunami

Edit : Almost forgot ... no more beeps in reverse !

 

hey! I'm still around... just still on my "Prius modding-break". At least fiance isn't rolling her eyes as often now.

 

The mad scientist in Palmdale has plenty of "good friends" and an even greater number of groupies! Take a number if you want modifications, it's worth the wait!

 

These arrived this morning for my Work Meister S1 3p wheels. Will slap these wheelcuffs on in a few.

 

Nice!! What color are the Work Meisters? Pri?

 

Rocking the white right now. I like the contrast in the interim. I picked them up used, so they could use a refinish down the road at which point I'll decide if I want to rebarrel them for a deeper dish & possibly color-match the car or other.

Currently they're nudged out with extended APR studs & custom spacers from Fred Goeske at Wheel Adapter in the Valley.

Snapped this on my way into the gym just now. She's had a lot done in the few weeks of ownership & I have to thank you @Accordlayingkit & @BurnaJ specifically for your awesome build threads as inspiration!

 

Looking great and I appreciate that!

 

Wifey been on the radar with my spending she requested if I include a SHOTGUN on my list mod to end it all. Whew. I guess the CF hood will be delayed.

 

For the time being, probably a good time to stop....

Now is a good time to ugrade the Lexus.

 

lol

 

Just spent $1k for the audio upgrade and I guess its more cheaper than getting the bags.

 

Yea bags would be sweet....I want coilovers but the ones I want are $1900...then im like damn if I spend that much id rather spend it on bags so id still be able to get up my driveway and not have to park on the street at the bottom of the hill all the time.

 

Hehehe. I' ve been researching about the install of the airex and I guess I can tackle it myself can't justify another $ for the labor.

I can't find the person that asked about the "MPG hit" when switching to FRS wheels. So just posting here so hope they see.


But I will be honest. I am not a hyper-miler. I am actually quite a moderately aggressive driver. So these numbers are not something I get often. I enjoy going to B and then hitting Power Mode when entering the freeway. I'm mostly on the left lane too. So this equates to an average of 38-42mpg.

But today I didn't really feel like driving too fast (which I'm thankful for since I past 4 different pulled over cars!) so I got these numbers, lol. I can edit this post once I get back from work tomorrow afternoon.

 

never seen a prius getting pulled over yet. I guess they assume priuses are slow and thats a myth when you hit 80mph it easy to go to 90 with a slight kick on the gas pedal.

 

Switched up the Volks for another set of Volks

 

I hvae frs wheel and my tire 215/55/17. My MPG around 40 mpg (calculated). Ur is 51mpg, thats amazing. When Im on highway, my avg speed about 75-80mph

 

I think I've given up on ever receiving my Spec-D v2 tail lights. I've been on backorder for 6 weeks, they were supposed to ship this friday, and now they put me on backorder again until Oct 12.

Where did everyone get their Valenti tails?

 

@HelloHybrid Check ebay, it's actually on sale right now for 349.95 with free shipping.
