    Meanwhile, while in the hatch, installed sound deadening material I had laying around.

    Peace and quiet. :sleep::sleep::sleep::whistle::whistle::whistle:

    It’s easier to see or know if a car is turning with yellow blinkers instead of blinking red. Some accidents are caused by a driver saying that person didn’t signal because they didn’t see yellow blinkers on and the other person with red blinkers changed right into their lane.

    guess that's why people run into busses when they have their sign out. if people weren't texting they would notice whatever color light was blinking.

    It must've been allowing some amount of play; I don't see how it'd deteriorate otherwise unless it was REALLY poor quality (which is entirely possible. These are Russian-made, after all). The other spacer seems to be fine. Tema is shipping another set to me as we speak. I guess I'll be taking another gamble on these.

    did it help? im thinking of going nuts with sound deadening in my prius, if it actually works lol. Ive done the doors and that helped, gonna fill em up even more tho. I can imagine most of the noise comes from the rear wheels cause the wheel arch is so open right into the cabin with no sound deadning there what so ever..

    It absolutely worked. The music quality has improved, noticeably. Road noise has reduced somewhat. I'm hesitating doing the doors because it looks like more trouble than it's worth. Lol. If I only had this... 20190704_180309.jpg
    It would be a snap! :sneaky::sneaky::sneaky:

    Stopped by the HybridPit this week. Put in a couple new goodies, plus Spark Plugs, CVT flush. I’d highly recommend this center brace and strut bar to anyone looking to further dial in the connective feeling of the car. In addition to my setup (tanabe revel, hotchkiss front and rear sway) these are perfect. I think there’s more torsional flex in this car than I previously thought. Corners of the car feel connected now. 816C4092-97C8-4284-BD56-28202B215D26.jpeg 1664A40C-6630-4AD2-A5A7-45635C673857.jpeg E5623A7D-B63C-4BA1-AC08-95E9BDCA9DD4.jpeg 61C770CD-D33E-4E37-882A-4DB112E353A6.jpeg

    It's amazing how she feels when she's tighter. She almost feels like a real Japanese made vehicle! :rolleyes:

    My Prius got some maintenance done.
    EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) cleaning went very well!
    Thanks to @hybridpit!
    · First picture is the after the cleaning
    · Second picture is the before the cleaning
    Also OCC (Oil Catch Can) was installed to help prevent the oil and other contaminants from causing buildup inside the engine's intake manifold.
    Ever since the installed, I did notice significant improvement in the mpg. My wheels setup are 18's and they're about 21lbs/wheel and I'm getting around 46-50 mpg depending on the length of drive and either city or highways driving. Last two pictures can be the judge of that.

    Good stuff!(y)(y)(y)

    It's amazing how she feels when all that gunk is cleaned out. Even more amazing knowing she won't blow a head gasket driving down the road. :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

    Thanks! This was done back in April, I just haven't been posting anything on here. I'll be posting a picture and a clip later of how much oil and contaminant I have in the OCC after 5k miles. :)

    Or you could hide it under the intake manifold and put it out of site and out of mind.
