. Hey Tom, Calling it a race car is the fastest way to filter out all of the Nay Sayers and arm chair engineers.. I really am using it to repower a 1946 Chevy truck. The airbag system was NOT needed but it absence is blocking the use of the cruise control.. So I am trying to figure out how to trick the cruise into working... I can share a build video with you if your interested..

What I mean is every time I barely touched the brake pedal it let out this loud whoop-whistle ! Dealer said he had never heard that noise before !

Replaced '13 Prius master cyl. & pump. Had Dealer bleed system but it whoop-whistled when braking. Replacement pump failed so put good old pump back in. As I loosed high press. line, foam & air came out. Whoop-whistle GONE. Was it bled properly? 1: soft pedal can press all the way down when pushed hard, but brakes work fine. 2: fluid level raises 1/2 inch over night. Dealer says ALL is OK. Is he right or will I die?

Hi. Any chance you have that extra brake actuator from eBay and want someone to take it off your hands? :)

If the first one you installed hasn’t failed and you had good reason to trust the eBay seller, I may be interested. Thank you

hi @Tombukt2,

Could you please share me these techstream FW for Prius/Lexus CT gen 3? :)
I would love to try on it and flash it into my car for a trial and share experience on the group too.
I've recently changed these egr valve and new intake manifold but seem that I still feel the rough/shaking issue even it's better than before of the replacements.
thanks again and have a wonderful night :)

Tom, I have a friend looking for a gen 2 . any Ideas on a good used one? His budget is slim...trying to figure what he needs to save? $3K? More or less?

Got the 08 lifted 40mm today hell getting studs out of top plates

Had to pick up a 2012 Chevy Volt to replace the generation 3 since we can't get it to do right no matter what we do

Texted about the MFD, haven't seen a reply, figured I'd try you here.

Hey Tom, you had asked me how far I am from Westchester. Is there some place there I can get this engine swapped out?

Hey Tom, you got part # for RA65 starter solenoid contacts & plunger? My older boys are really wanting to help me get my coupe running again. Does the starter type matter much? I remember Mark (RA24man) spec'ing a specific starter for my build.

[email protected] or 919 892 0363 up early bed late. Old military. Lots of pieces for these cars

Picked up another 08 green mint leather interior looks like it was just taken out of the garage and taken out of service

Sorry it looked strange to you. I thought since you are in a similar area you have a better idea of where the person could get service. Looks like 2 posts of all that person is gonna make anyway.

This new member is looking for recommendation for a Gen3 engine swap in NC.

Maybe you can point in a better directions than any of us who've posted ideas so far.

Tom, I sent you an email about selling my 08 Gen 2 with 128K miles.. Prices are all over. I've seen local gen 2 go for $9k with 180 miles on them. I think I have it fairly listed at $7,200. What do you think? I have had people ask about delivery. I could do that and fly home but not sure how to proceed with a sale. What do you think? Know anyone who needs a great 08?

i watched the map cleaning video, i think my back can withstand that amount of time under the hood. i'll get some crc maf cleanerand give it a shot.

haha, no, it's an acronym for my old boston interior design company. it never occurred to me when customers started using it and laughing.

i could probably do that. i'll look for a youtube video. i can't lean over the engine bay or my lower back goes out and i'm in traction for a week.
