    I love the LED lights for the license plate. I switched mine and they're soo much brighter than the factory lights.

    That run was somewhere in the 17's.

    Here's the data from my drag event this weekend. I didn't get as many runs as I wanted, but I managed to make sure my battery was charged to the same level each run.

    First 3 runs, Red bullet Installed
    17.998 @ 77.52 mph
    17.971 @ 75.82 mph
    17.974 @ 76.9 mph

    Second two Runs, stock
    18.111 @ 77.26
    18.063 @ 75.67

    Last run, red bullet installed
    17.846 @ 76.54

    There's some data for everyone on the Red Bullet! I'l let you guys make a decision from there.

    I have never run mine a full 1/4 mile at WOT. But my OBD dongle tracks it. I have run 9.9 to 10.01 0-60. I watched the run, and I thought for sure it was faster then that. I’ll get some runs clocked with my scanner and see how they come out. I have been curious if the Gen 4 short block would provide a performance improvement, and now I can go find out.

    But isnt the GEN 4 block only made for 77HP or some around there? Or how does that work? Will the ECU still treat it is a GEN 3 engine? Got so many questions lol.

    The ECU runs as if I have the Gen 3 under the hood, AFAIK. As I installed the Gen 3 head on the block, and it’s running on the Gen 3 ECU, there is no way the car should be able to tell that I have the Gen 4 block. I’ll get to an uninhabited area of my city today or tomorrow for a performance test.

    This was a one-and-done. In normal mode, just stomping the gas from a dead stop. No maintenance mode or anything. The 0-60 number isn’t as fast as I previously thought. I can tell you that 43psi front tire pressure gives a lot of wheelspin.

    Anyone who got any experience with these LED front turn signal`s for the 2009-2011? They just popped up on Rakuten https://global.rakuten.com/en/store/revier/item/cl-ty37-v1/ They look really damn cool... trying to find out if theyre ECE/SAE/DOT certified and actually legal, considering the 140 dollar price tag it wouldve been stupid if they werent. Theyre also on Ebay, Toyota Prius ZVW3# (2009/5~2011/12) LED Front Turn Signal Sequential⇔Flashing | eBay There seems to be 2 versions, V1 is the link to Rakuten, it does not have DRL, and link 2 thats to Ebay is the V2 that has DRL. They both got the sequential mode.

    2. Clear Lens inner Black color
    3. Smoke Lens inner Silver color

    I’ve also seen them used on Croooober. They look very cool, and if I had the spare cash, I’d snag a set.

    Annoys me there is no way to contact the sellers and ask if theyre certified ECE/SEA/DOT... Pictures r to low res to be able to read of the glass aswell.

    EDIT: Think i found a way to contact em lol

    Here’s a second run, this time in Power Mode. Just nailing the gas from a dead stop.

    Finally broke the 63 mpg per tank for 8 straight months w/64 mpg last week's tank. Today's was 65.6 mpg. Removing the windshield wipers right before filling up the tank below made +1 mpg tank difference.

    Don't make silly claims like this.:unsure:
    Now the kids are going to do this and post exaggerated claims also.:p
    What about 'rain' ?:whistle:

    Look, just drive 2 mph slower than your current slow pace and you'll get way more than "+1 mpg".(y)

    Pump your tires to the max! Measure that!

    I would have had him, but I was granny shifting, not double clutching like I should.
