    If we didn't ask so often, we'd have fewer windstorms.

    I love the G's rear bumper!

    What spoiler is that? I've been considering switching from the wing to a spoiler like that for a while now.

    It's like seeing double white Henry.


    Are you going to get G/phv headlights any time soon. I have one spare headlight... Can sell it as a set once I complete the set.

    They'd definitely look better than the stock headlights, so if you manage to complete the set let me know!

    I installed the forward portion of the Cat Defender converter shield today. I used M6 rivet nuts, M6x16 bolts and fender washers to install it. I also used M6 rivet nuts, M6x12 bolts and fender washers to install the engine under cover. No more busted or broken push pin rivets.

    Cleaned out the intake manifold and slapped a new gasket on it.
    Cleaned a couple hoses that connect to it that had a lot of gunk in them. 20210203_141734.jpeg

    Replacing inverter and engine radiators. Can't drain inverter because somehow the damn thing is in there and I stripped it. Time to chisel it out.....

    I take it you got the drain plug loosened?
    Are you going to replace it with a good one?

    I'm very sceptical about that 2800 lumen rating on the box, based on the configuration of the actual LEDs.

    Performed a intake manifold cleaning and EGR cooler / valve cleaning, intake port cleaning and coolant change on my 2015 Prius 90240 miles. The job took 2 days and the most challenging part was removing the EGR cooler.

    one tip to easily clean the EGR cooler is to use Nucalgon condenser cleaner. It cleaned all the carbon off within 10 minutes. No scrubbing, simply soak and rinse off the cooler and solvent and dry off.

    the car sputtered after I started it for a few moments but it was due to the computer trying to recalibrate due to less air restriction. Here are some pictures.

    Ah OK, couldn't tell from your original pics that these are COB (circuit on board) LEDs with multiple emitting diodes all around and on the front end.

    I guess the COB-72 means there are 72 diodes emitting light?
