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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
