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

Most likely hwy speeds of 75mph + with “great handling” tires. I’m back at 63mpgs on new tires that finally broke in with side spoilers finally installed, and almost 140K in the engine. You going to the upcoming meetup? I remember you wanted to attend the next.

 

Installed gas springs today.

 

"Installed gas springs today."

Very nice indeed. Can we have a bit more information please: source, brand, cost?

Thanks

 

for Toyota Prius XW30 2009 2015 Two Sides Auto Front Hood Bonnet Modify carbon fiber Gas Struts Lift Support Shock Damper-in Strut Bars from Automobiles & Motorcycles on AliExpress

This is what I ordered. Perfect fit on a 2011 Prius. No need for any modification.

 

Thanks.

Installation looks fairly idiot-proof: fasten the four tabs with ball-ends to hood and body in the proper locations, and Bob's your uncle, eh?

 

Yes, only a 10 minute job!

 

Idk what else to do for now

 

Side Splitters next! I put a pair weeks ago, so far so good. You already have front splitters so go for it

 

"Gotcha" moment...

Pix or didn't happen

 

Yikes, got my own medicine haha. I'll take some photos tomorrow.

 

how did you change the color?

 

@Dylan Doxey stripped the dash and soldered each individual LED. For the speedometer area we used Roscolux gel film. Got the LEDs from mouser.com and the gel film off amazon.

 

Installed some Husky Floor liners - very well designed product!

Sold my 2012 Prius Plug-In Advanced!
Legitimately bummed when she drove off. Y’all already know the feeling

But! Got a new 2020 Prius Prime Limited


Converting it to the JDM PHV “GR Sport.” Starting with the GR Navi wheels package.

I’ll make a build thread in the Prime forum lol. Oh I still have a few parts for sale from my Gen 3 like the Fujitsibo exhaust. I’ll update that thread soon. Shoutout to @hybridpit and others for helping with my Gen 3 + Prime. Been awhile but I’m back to modding

 

you got some pictures with the tails & break lights on?

 

I know I have posted the upgrades I did to my Prius in this thread in the past, but since then there have been some more updates. So I am going to start from the beginning with my first "upgrade" to the car.

- Replaced the headlights with Maxlux HID kit. After almost 5 years, they are still running strong. But I have a feeling that I will be replacing them sometime this year because they have over 70k miles on them (I run the headlights all the time).

- Installed the LEDs inside, in front markers and for the license plate.

- Installed Sokie hood struts.

- Updated the door speakers to Pioneer A-Series all around. (Pictures posted in a separate thread)

- Updated the dashboard speakers to DaytonAudio 3". Honestly, if you want a perfect OEM fit, go with 2.5" speakers. Otherwise you will have to do some mods either to the speakers, or the dashboard. I had to widen the mounting hole on the speaker and still am only able to install it with one bolt. (Pictures posted in a separate thread)

- Updated the seats with Katzkin single tone leather. And truth be told, they look superb.
Other than these updates, the only "major" service I have done so far is the tire replacements. Other than that I have only done regular maintenance to include oil, oil filter, wiper and air/cabin air filter changes (both filters changed at 60k miles). Though I am planning on doing a proper brake fluid flush around 80k miles because I think its time.

The only vehicle cheaper to maintain than my Prius is my V-Twin 2-wheeler.

 

Photos of side splitters & some weird rear side stuff. Mailman saw photos being taken and said that's the most aggressive Prius he's ever seen

 

Where's the back seat?

And who needs a passenger seat either.

Missed you yesterday.

 

Back seat is where it will always be, in the living room closet to reduce overall weight

Hobby conflicts I tell ya. Months ago I scheduled (prepaid) to run a race event on 1/25 so a sacrifice was made. Hope you & everyone at the meetup had a great time, can't wait for the next one. By the way, I received a medal for 2nd place finish in my age group.

 

Congrats on the finish.

How long was the race?

There's always next time for the meetup.
