F8L

When you did the transaxle fluid change. I saw it was very opaque. Did your prius shudder by any chance?

Good day F8L,

I trust you are well.

How do you like my entry in the 800 mile club thread at
http://priuschat.com/threads/800-mile-club.112703/page-8#post-2113154 ?
Do you think it might qualify for a mention in the rankings? This time last year I managed to reach 800 miles but this year I was nicely surprised with the distance and consumption attained.

Kind regards

Jaquimo

I have just bought a new set of FRS wheels. The information which I found on forums so confused. My current wheels are 15, so what do I need for new FRS wheels?
1. 2x3mm space for rear, nothing on the front? any spec do i need pay attention?
2. stock lug from FRS wheels are ok?

Thanks, Please ignore bad knowledge!

I was shocked to see you have a Volt. You have so many posts on this website, I just thought you were complete diehard Prius owner. What happened?

By the way, I trust your opinion as much as anyone about Prii. That includes anyone I know that works for Toyota.

I guess the thing that got me thinking is if larger wheels hurt mpg. then smaller ones could possibly improve mpg. and pics of aftermarket 15" look like there is plenty of clearence for the caliper. I cant decide now if i will try to fit them I probably should so I can get over it.

I think the bolt pattern is 4x100 and I think the offset is similar. but the alum is dirty looking not sure if they would clean up well?

oops I was wrong on the defender size it is 185-65-14, but after looking at them closer im not sure they are pretty enough for my new car

You seem to know a lot about tire wheel things. I would like to know what you think about using a 14" honda wheel, I have a set with michelin defender that only have 1k on them. I think the size is 195-70-14. I run them with 50psi on my dodge neon that I am going to sell. I dont really like the hubcaps, and I probably would not buy new rims. possibly some used rims, but I already have these I could switch.

funny that you went from non plug-in to plug-in. Do you like it?
I also had 2x 2010 Prius (III & IV w/Solar Pkg) both of them were Blizzard Pearl.
Now I have 2012 Prius V Adv PKG and 2013 Plug-in both Silver. lol
Did you lower your Plug-in and get new rims? Your Profile picture looks nice. You like charging your car? Isn't it funny. I only had mine for about 2 weeks and I enjoy charging it.

Hello there, my name on the #17 spot is wrong but I like the name you posted also haha

F8L, could you perhaps adjust my position on the top 20 list as indicated in my post #497 at http://priuschat.com/threads/top-20-mpg-record-holders.112709/page-25#post-1767147 ?
I attempted to reach the 800 mile mark but had to refill some 20 miles before reaching the target.
Regards

F8L ..Great post and video on the VPNS at http://priuschat.com/threads/2012-prius-vehicle-proximity-notification-system-vpns-video.104980/ .

Love how you have organized the garage. Can you tell what kind of wall hangers you have used for your ladder , hose pipe, extension and the garden tools?

Hey! I saw in your signature that you had a solar roof on your Prius c. How did you do that?

Hey Buddy! Me again to pick your brain!! I like your recommendation of 17x7 and 205/50/17 tires.
I just realized Discounttiredirect has free shipping.
I'm considering wheels with only a 38mm offset. I don't care about 'flushness'.
I would like tire center line to remain stock and not so inboard that there is suspension interference. Have you heard of anyone getting by with 38mm offset?

Hey Buddy! I hope you're enjoying the clean power you are now using!

Is this a good way to contact you?

I'm trying to figure out exactly what the specs are for a 17" wheel for a Gen3.
{ Width?, 5x100, +45mm, and center bore ? }
There is so much to read and so few facts.

I knew you would know. Can you point me to a thread or a list somewhere? Thanks!

If you are interested in the tires let me know. I want to get rid of them ASAP since they are wrapped up in bags from America's tires in the back of my Prius taking up space and killin my gas mileage haha. So email me if your interested. I can meet up somewhere if you can't make it all the way to SF. [email protected]

I sent u a message did u get it?

Hey , Im not sure if you got my last message but you said you would give me some help picking out tires for my new wheels. I ended up getting 16 inch and they are 6.5 inch wide. The stock upgrade tires on the C are Bridgestone Turanza EL400 195/50/16 but I cant find them anywhere to buy , just the EL400 195/60/16. Will those work? What is your opinion? Thanks

Hey F8L, could you add me to the top 20 list also?, or do i have to post on that forum also?

Hi F8L, I see you jotted my name in the rankings for the 700 mile tank with my vehicle indicated as a GenIII instead of a GenII.
