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

From HybridPit
Toms = $196
Cusco = $175
Tenabe = $123

@sfv41901 - I agree, if I'm going to spend the money for structural reinforcement I want the full benefit. Not some of the benefit.

Thanks for the education!

 

If I did not already have the Cusco I would definitely upgrade for $21 more.

 

Yes love it felt the difference immediately. I ran Cusco on my other cars before and it was okay. I recommend to anyone who does not have this strut bar as of yet.

 

I'm pretty much locked-in for phv grill. Hope to pick up soon so I could paint it!

 

Just had my friend in Japan buy me an authentic Prius G's brake pedal cover.


I currently have the 01-05 IS300 one (below), but fitment is not as good as I would like. It's a little too large.


Goal with my pedals project is to get that OEM toyota quality. Been a lot of trial and error using parts from other cars, but should look great in the end. Someone's gotta be the Guinea pig.


Here's some results:
Accelerator: JDM G's FAIL hits floor, BRZ/FRS FAIL hits right side carpet, (CT200H SOON and should work,but $$$) currently running a cheapo ebay one from Taiwan.
EBRAKE: 01-05 IS300 Modified bracket which I purchased from Japan OK 【純正】アルミペダル プリウス後期 パーキングペダル /【Buyee】 "Buyee" 日本の通販商品・オークションの代理入札・代理購入

Dead Pedal: CT200h OK - covers most of OEM. We opted not to remove stock dead pedal. Lexus Part # 58190-76020-C0, 90167-40044 (screws)x3

It initially comes with a back panel, @sfv41901 did not install it, it didn't really need it.

 

^^^ I don't have any friends in Japan; @saulbassfan can I be your friend?

 

We're all friends here.

Always here to help. You can PM me if you're interested getting parts from Japan. Also, if you're willing to learn how to use the 3rd party buying sites, like a lot of people do (@Dylan Doxey) here's a tutorial:

DIY: How to buy and import JDM car parts directly from Japan | Balancing Act
Update: How to buy and import JDM car parts from Japan | Balancing Act

Buyee.jp is the most popular one, and has amazon japan, rakuten, yahoo auctions, and yahoo shopping built in site.

EDIT:

Having the browser Google Chrome helps a lot, as it translates non-English words as best as it can.

Google translate is also handy to have, so when you enter in search bar you can search in Japanese



Search keywords to have handy:

プリウス - which means prius
zvw30 - the prius chassis #

 

Awesome, thank you!

 

Should he get two?

 

And maybe a third?

@sfv41901 did you just bid on it?
