    After 95k miles, took only 20min to clean. Didn’t look bad but now looks brand new again.

    Coolant , t-stat, and EGR cooler clean today. I reached 25k since my Gen 4/3 swap, and was curious as to the coolers condition. It was see thru clean, with just a bit of oily residue that came out with brake cleaner. I was kind of worried at first, as the cooling fans didn’t seem to want to come on. Finally at indicated 204 degrees the fans came on. They ran until coolant temp dropped a whole 6 degrees, LOL. I did take it on a test drive afterward, and coolant temp never rose higher then 193.


    The coolant/t-stat was to address a strange “ICE is running when battery percent and coolant temp say it shouldn’t have been” condition. I found the lower hose on the recovery tank about 80 percent blocked with the Blue Devil I put in 27 months ago when I got the car. No more stop leak for me. This is twice since the swap I had to tear it down for repairs due to stop leak.

    Im finally getting the cars scratches and dents fixed, also either gonna re paint it or wrap it.
    And just bought this.

    Exterior:
    Aimgain Type III 2 colored front bumper (with fog lights support and European license plate support)
    [​IMG]

    Aimgain muffler
    [​IMG]
    Aimgain badge
    [​IMG]


    Morimoto LED fog lights (because theyre the only ones thats ECE certified that i could find)
    [​IMG]

    OSRAM DRLs with parking lights (so i can cover up the parking lights on the headlight)
    [​IMG]

    New 3SDM 0.04 18" wheels (also gonna get some good tires like the Falken F510)
    [​IMG]

    New blinkers with DRL
    Turn Signal Lamp Driving Light For Toyota Prius Hybrid 2012 2014 Corner Lamp DRL Running LED 2012 2013 2014| | - AliExpress

    Interior:
    Cup holder tray for the center console, i have added a wire less charger there and it looks horrible. This will cover up all the wiring, and the wireless charger will work thru it.
    [​IMG]
    This is almost how the wireless charger looks like now, so the tray will make it so much better... (this circle charger isnt in the car anymore tho, its been swapped to a much bigger rectangular one).
    [​IMG]

    New black steering wheel controls (they dont have the voice assistant button, but the voice assistant in the 3rd gen prius is useless anyways and i use Siri, so not really an issue).
    [​IMG]

    Also bought a new gear shift panel tray thingy, because mine is totally worn...
    [​IMG]




    Also, where do one get these eyelids?
    [​IMG]
    Is this the only place? Toyota Prius Headlight Garnish
    I know its order number is 08424-47020-B0 , so is it possible maybe a toyota dealership can order them?

    Meh, i like the wheels lol, but i did cancel the order... Because there is some Rotiform rims im looking at that im really interested in as well... Plus i wanna get a dual exhaust for it (RICE RICE lol) and possibly lowered springs for the rear and bags at the front (speed humps in Norway are always at the wrong spots. 30kmh speed humps gets placed in 50kmh speed zones and vice versa... So i wanna have bags at the front so i know i can clear them. Lowered springs are decently cheap, but bags... Ohh boi...).

    Prepping for 100k just around the corner. Radiator/Inverter coolant exchange. All it takes in total 1-3/4 gallons.

    Just a question. I know in my area, I can buy premix at around $20 a gallon, and full strength for around $23. Is that an option for you, and just buy distilled water for $.80 at the local grocery store?
