Hello
I want to apologize to you. I do not always put the best foot forwad when starting out in any online endevaour or forum. My nature is not always welcoming or understood. I have actually learned alot from the majority of your post's and thread's. FWD is okay too however I do not think English is his native tongue so creates a cultural and langauge barrier. take care

Welcome onboard 3-in-1. The April fools post was made by Flaninacupbord on the Enginer forum, all credit goes to him. We are still a bit short on members but that may change. Maybe I need to mention that a member's identity is kept confidential by using a madeup username when you join Priuschat.

There is no Priuschat member going by the name of "John from Australia" in this group. Please keep user names confidential.

Hey, I was ecstatic at first reading of your April fools post. Now, I've collapsed back into reality.
I too am experiencing an extended and extremely frustrating ordeal with BMS failures and consequential battery failures etc, etc, etc.
Personally, I think it's a travesty of major proportions that the "Kit" even bears the name of Enginer.

Though I have followed Prius Chat and the Enginer forum for quite a while, this is my first experience in joining and posting. So as you might imagine, I have a little something to contribute in the way of my experiences.
Thanks to “John from Australia” for starting this discussion as well as “Lopezjm2001” for volunteering to be the club’s president.

I will be following with interest and contributing as time allows.

I'm from blacktown, just next door. You cannot buy the kit unless it is installed by Nilco2. Self installs cannot be done anymore. Yes I have had to make a lot of warranty replacements on parts due to bad design and lack of workmanship. I also had to do a lot of improvements. My kit now looks good and reliable.

thanks for the info. i emailed them already but haven't replied yet though. i've heard/read the current version still has some bugs and has been a pain for most. is this true?

looks like you installed it yourself. if only i had the technical know-how, i'd do it myself.
where in sydney are you? i'm from the northern beaches. do we have any prius club here in sydney?

Nice car! How were you able to make your prius PHEV and how much did it cost?

Your welcome.

It's my pleasure to join this group.
thanks
