HAHA, little do you know............. you're never done. Where's the satellite radio, PriusChat.com stcker, tinted windows, bra, eyelids, window wind deflectors, sunroof, retractible sun shade? You have a LONG way to go yet. Almost done.......... is that a Porche I see.....
I'm very happy you have the extra money and time to make all those changes. I just have a Prius that I like.
why did you buy the braces and suspension if you already had the touring edition, or is it a touring now that you bought those?
I had only test driven the standard and I thought maybe the touring would be good enough. But coming from Porsches it wasn't close. But the rear spoiler from the touring package still looks neat.
Satellite radio was done at the port. The rear hatch is tinted dark, I may keep going with other windows. No, not a Porsche, but a Ruf 3600S.
How much did you pay for the Volk Racing CE28 ecoDrive wheels? They look like 16". Which tire did you put on them?
Did I forget to list them? I already have mud flaps and bumper guard, not to mention the DICE iPod adapter...
They are the 16's. I bought them direct from Japan. They cost about $2,200 shipped and I had them in about 2 1/2 weeks. Tires, I am running the ContiSportContact2 205/50ZR-16. I am reserving judgement on this tire. It handles well, but it is noisy and my mileage has dropped almost 10%.:jaw: Maybe I need to go back to 195s just grippier...
The Tesla looks neat, but it is not in the cards for me. The Prius is taken by whichever of my wife and I will be doing the most miles that day. Then the other either takes the Ruf or the Honda Odyssey if hauling kids or stuff is required. Our attempt to minimize family fuel consumption. Okay two Priuses and an Odyssey would more fuel efficient and fulfill all our hauling needs, but it would be a lot less fun...
Very nice! So how do you like the handling now? Is it like or close to a Mini/Go-Kart/Slot Car? Will you be getting the front anti-sway bar if BT Tech comes out with it? Curious, do you guys still average at least 40 mpg tanks?
Honestly, it handles really well. No it is not like the Ruf or even an M030 suspension Porsche 944. But it is in the league of many (non M) stock BMWs in my opinion.
