That comment went over my head -

BTW, has the dealership got your car "fixed" yet?

The Toyota Prius is very popular with the taxi drivers. The posher cabbies drive Beemers and Mercs and obviously look down on the Prius, however, in some instances the Prius has more value due to its excellent mileage/economy.. horrible cars for a fee paying passenger... Rattles, shakes and a shitty interior...

Got some nice charms for the FRS. ENJOY!


JDM battery tray conversion for an Odyssey PC680 using OEM parts.


Cleaned up the work area with some simple green


All done. Saved 15lbs.

I think so, as a matter of fact I think they have down played a bit. If I knew what this mod felt like prior it would have been pushed up the list.

It definitely gives you a more "torquey" feeling and a more "connected" feeling with the rear end. It's more of a "drive by wire" feeling between the accelerator pedal the diff and your ass


I was really not expecting this. I figured it was just another weight loss item to reach my end goal. I'm hoping by lightening other rotating mass I get somewhat similar results.


ETA: I'm driving an AT FR-S.

Makes the car much more enjoyable on the street with the t56.
Would this work with the stock transmission?

Yes. But your car will be slower. Me and Spitsnaugle have LS engines so we want the taller gearing. If you are turbo/sc then it's a good option.

Installed replica ebay BRZ "sti" lip, skirt and rear spats. overall good install, the fitment is fair for ebay stuff, the finish is fair ( bare plastic not worth painting for what im doing) and the rubber trimming is a nice touch and that its all reversible is a huge plus

over all two thumbs up an plenty of smiles

Apparently the white line roll center kit is being manufactured again. I have been looking for these for quite some time. Highly recommend after lowering. The suspension geometry is a huge part of the cars character and these will help bring the geometry back to normal. Noticeably reduces bump steer and that spongey feeling.
