Cute name! I like the wheels.

 

Threw on some Valenti taillights...



Also tossed on some fogs and Kensun HID kits for both those and the headlights...



Swapped out old tires for Michelin Primacy HP's, 46 MPG's, much more quiet ride.

 

these just came in..... will be installing it when I have time....

 

care to elaborate on what it is? haha

 

this.....

and more details from Apexi:
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A’PEXi Original Accelerator Controller with 7-modes (3 ECO Modes, 2 Boost Modes, Lo-Throttle Mode, and Hi-Throttle Mode)
>br/>
FUNCTION

The A’PEXi SMART Accel Controller offers instant and direct throttle response for vehicles equipped with Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Systems.
Throttle response that is delayed from ETC or better known as Drive-by-wire throttle is greatly improved with this simple unit and a vehicle specific
plug and play harness installation which is connected between the factory accelerator pedal sensor and wiring harness within a few minutes.


PRODUCT FEATURES

[ECO Mode]

There are 3 ECO Mode options. Throttle response time will delay compared to factory throttle simulating the accelerator pedal being pressed gently which can result in fuel economic efficiency due to decreased initial load from the output of the accelerator pedal, in some cases can reduce fuel consumption by up to 10%. The ECO Mode can also be used to desensitize vehicles with abrupt throttle response from the factory, as seen on some vehicles such as the Toyota Tundra Truck.


[Lo-Throttle Mode]

Throttle response will delay from normal mode based upon throttle pedal percentage range. Throttle will react to how the user presses on the pedal between idle-to-full throttle range.


[Boost Mode]

Throttle response time will become quicker and results in improved accelerator pedal feel. Returns to normal mode once pedal is pressed to fully open throttle.


[Hi-Throttle Mode]

Improved throttle response based on throttle percentage range, in this mode throttle will respond as if
depressing the pedal in full throttle. Returns to normal mode once pedal is pressed to fully open throttle.

- Reverse-Gear cancel harness is an added safety feature that is an installation option to revert to factory throttle setting when reversing vehicle

- Full-Color A’PEXi Logo LED Switch in 7 different colors per mode

 

well dang.. is it hard to get to the acceleration pedal sensor?

Seems pretty interesting and fun! Nice write up here from a guy that put one on his G37

Looking good man..

 

Sfv41901 is the man . sold me ct200 seats and has worked with me for months on installing them. Finally got them installed, power driver seat working. I couldn't be happier with my dealings with him. Stand up member!

 

I hope you didn't put HIDs in reflector based foglights.

Bad glare using HID in non projector lights because no physical cutoff shield.

Received today from Amazone, a Lukas LK-7900 ARA dashcam with GPS and optional OBD-II module, and a RioRand F30 Dual Dashcam. Thinking the LUKAS will go aim to the front, and the RioRand will mount to the back hatchback glass, with cameras aiming outwards to catch anyone hitting my rear, whether I'm in motion or parked (it starts recording with G-shock) Hopefully will be able to catch a tag number, and defend myself against insurance companies.

 

Didn't know I wanted your exact look. Awesome.

 

Not sure exactly what you meant - did you mean ' most likely not because of rotational mass ' ? If your wheel and tire combo is less than OEM...wouldn't that assist with your MPG?

 

Hey thanks for the tip, I see that you have a whole thread on a mod you did to install projectors. My fogs don't appear to be throwing light but perhaps I'll go ahead and convert to projectors as you have done for good times.

 

It is more complex than that. The simple answer is not always. The heaviest portions of the wheel are the center and the rim. Even is you have a lighter 17" wheel than the 15" stock you are moving the one of the heaviest portions of the wheel 1" further from the center of gravity thus increasing the rotational inertia of the wheel. If the 17" wheel is light enough then the rotational inertia could be smaller.

 

Filled up reservoir lol

 

Do you have the part number for the Lexus cover?

 

I did a few things to mine. I checked the oil for the 4th time since I bought it, cleaned scuff marks off the door panels, vacuumed it, and got an all time best mileage on my way home. I got 59.0 according to the cars estimate, the best I've had before for this leg of my daily trip was 54.5.

 

Hate how the prius navigation is full of glare during the daytime, so added some shade..


Also smoked my tail lights yesterday, came out pretty good
