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

brake fluid flush takes about 40 mins with 2 people.

 

It's not the time I'm really just too lazy to deal with the wheels. I try to diy most of my stuff but never do rotations.

Thank you for your videos btw. They definitely helped! First non-oil fluid changes on my 2015 gen 3 with 65k miles. Next rotation I'll pay for the brake fluid change.

 

Mine got it on both sides . . .

 

I have been tearing down the motor and I got a better look at the hole in the block. Mine has 2 holes. One on top of each other. I will take a pic of it and post it later.

My gen4 engine is showing up in a couple days.

Sorry about your car. I feel your pain.

 

Any idea of the cause? Had it been maintained well? Were you flooring it when that happened?

Engine bay cleaned.

 

After my last car wash noticed some water on the passenger side floor. Followed below video and had the wipers and cowl off in 2 minutes. I was too quick with the vacuum to take a before picture but the drain area was clogged on both sides with leaves and debris. Cleaned up and dripped some water down to test and it drained to the floor. Its really easy and I guess I'll add this cleaning to my yearly oil change routine.

These are all after I cleaned up but you can kinda see a water line in the dust so I know it wa backing up.

Turn signal lights. Add on.

 

Where did you get those and how much?

 

@NewHybridOwner I got them from Craigslist they came off another Toyota I think IA.

 

Messing around w/ eBay diffuser

 

Looks nice, eBay link to diffuser?

 

Pair of Bumper Spoiler Diffuser Splitter Shark Fin Winglet Wing For Honda Acura | eBay

 

What is the point of those?

 

It’s called a mod, it’s all about making your car your own and making it look sporty

 

Couldn’t have said it better myself

 

You guys crack me up! Now on to the real answer

The functionality of the rear splitter is that it guides wind underneath the vehicle as it exits to the rear of the car. Without a rear splitter and/or flat undertray also, air turbulence is naturally generated causing aero drag as wind is not channeled out the rear between the fins of the splitter.

 

No matter what kind of car I have driven over the decades, I always did something to it to make it stand out. We use to call it "customize", now its called Modding. Either way, my cars were never stock. I have found in Priuschat that some buy their car and keep it as is. So seeing the rear skirting put on a Prius would not make sense. Not me. As soon as I see something cool and I can afford it, I usually drop the green. Funny thing is, I recently saw in a shopping center parking lot a 1972 Ford Pinto, completely stock, in good condition, including the push button dash radio! Thing could sell for over 10k in that condition.

 

Nice treat today!

I’ve had a lifetime Sirius membership back in 2006.

From what I remember, I could not transfer the lifetime membership from my old radio to my current car.

Well, I’ll be taking a long drive this week so I thought I would try.

I got on the Sirius online chat and after a few minutes,
I was able to transfer my lifetime membership!

they even waived the fees for the transfer . So excited!
140 channels!

Happy 3day y’all!
