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

Thanks!

I did remove the motor, super easy. I thought about selling it, but ebay is flush with them.

I used this rubber plug with some silicone sealant. From Amazon:
Hard-to-Find Fastener 014973175924 Round Sheet Metal Plug, 1-3/8-Inch, 3-Piece,Black

Replaced all the brake pads and rotors.

Wasn't much of a problem, but the rotors were rusty and making some noise, and getting to them, you might as well relaxe the pads.

They seemed to be down to 1/3, which is kinda insane for 120k and never servicing them... Good ol Regenerative breaking.

I officially put 100,000 miles on the Prius.
Purchased 31 July 2017 with 116,748 miles on it.

I wanted to get it exactly, but there was traffic and I couldn’t safely get the photo.

 

Received my H & R springs yesterday. I have used H & R on my Wrangler and I really like H&R.
Now waiting on my 17" rims and tires.
I found some Konig Krowns at 19lbs with 45 offset and Bavariuos(sp) tires also at 19lbs.
Once I get them on, I will post some mpg reports compared to oem.

Installed this 9 inch android lcd. The main issue seems to be the right side clip adjustment.... thinking of a way around it

Was your system originally JBL? Was there any problems with ok installation?

 

It's amazing having 200+K miles on without HV battery change? Mine just hit 100K miles a weeks ago and 100110 miles now.

 

Mine is at 199,600+ miles. I'd say it's still the original pack since no service history about the battery being replaced...

The previous owner took excellent care of the car. He gave me a stack of paperwork from Toyota!
He put mostly highway miles of it and so do I. About 85% for me. I think that is why it's lasting
so long. I have techstream, one of these days I'll do the battery test.

I know I'm on borrowed time with the hybrid battery though. It's 11 years old, November 2009 is
the manufacture date.

I'm hoping to have some income soon to purchase the Prolong battery reconditioner. And hopefully,
that will give me a lot longer life. And when I do need to replace it, all these different type of battery
wars will bring down the price!

 

Less than 15 minutes, and about $10 in parts and I polished up the headlamp lenses.
I can't believe how easy it was. A few weeks ago I tested the polish with a micro fiber cloth.
2 or 3 minutes worth of work and it had already cleared them up noticeably.
So I bought a buffing wheel for my drill. About 5 minutes or so each lens and they shine!

 

Qi charger


RedBullet.

 

CT200h Seats, I finished the power Lexus ct200h seats on both driver and pass side into 2010 Prius. Some problems with fitment and the Lexus passenger side sits lower (too low?) in car. No error codes airbag codes or other issues all power functions work except for seats heaters. No seat heaters - that takes some kind of electrical wizard to figure out but I am in Texas.

 

What does the RedBullet do?

exactly! this thing do absolutely nothing.

 

Installed the Cusco strut tower brace.
Probably should have gone ahead and cleaned out my EGR circuit while I has the parts out, but I didn't have the time.

Taking those pieces out, while not difficult, sure is a pain.

Didn't quite notice a difference on my short drive, but I imagine I'll feel it when I take her through the canyons.
