Toyota dealer probably won't touch it, parts should be similar or the same. It will be like early model jdm s15 and late aus spec s15's, nissan won't cover the early grey import s15's. More to the point why would you want a Prius?

simple,...put a 2JZ in ther and be the ultimate sleepr car.....

My GF wants it. She found one for 14 K 2000 model. I told her its grey import.

I want a Corolla for myself... petrol prices are going up every month, you guys with Skylines will be spending your week's pay on a single tank soon lol

Na mate with 1 litre of regular unleaded to hit $1.60 within weeks it'll be more like:

"Hey guys I just sold my left kidney for a full tank of Ultimate... this drive to have dinner at my GF's folks better be worth it!"

what a waste of a perfectly good run about.....I could've put it to much better use

too right!! i would have welded steel rods in place of the shocks and driven at top speed over speed humps and small jumps etc, then i would have smoked it up till the tyres blew, and kept going till the rims broke off, then i would have put a brick on the accelerator and dropped the oil from the engine till it seized, then i probly would have shot it to bits....... then burnt it.....

it would have been a nice full day of fun!

Seen the price of diesel lately? :down:

A VW Polo TDi uses about half a litre more fuel per 100km than a Prius (comparing officially quoted Combined Cycle figures). While it does cost around $5K more used:

* The Polo is 6 years newer, and still has a warranty

* The Polo doesn't have to use ultra-low grip tyres, so its safer

* The Polo is less complex and can be serviced / repaired by VW Australia

* Worn-out batteries isn't a bank breaker

Total Cost of Ownership, I don't know if a Prius is that much cheaper than buying a small diesel hatch.

Environmentally, as a total package (not just emissions), its not head and shoulders better either.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
