I finally got the MiniDisc changer from Japan! It worked like a charm. And guess what? I was correct in my assumption that it would transmit and display the...
Does anyone have two Prius in their possession? Would you be willing to conduct an experiment? I'm wondering if the throttle and brake (drive by wire) sensors...

Talk about dangerous! If the rear car ever reached more than the front car speed it would spin you like a top. Don't try this at home! Dean To unsubscribe...
Just to clear things up... I'm not advocating doing this on the public roadways. I'm looking for information, and if necessary a test experiment. The end goal...
... Public roadways or not, I'd suggest you abandon this idea. You could probably find someone with two Prius, but I doubt if they'd agree to this experiment....
I have tow-bar'ed a vehicle so I'm familiar with the odd handling possibilities, especially if the rear vehicle doesn't supply any braking force! :-) Been...
Oh, I meant to also mention, thanks for being polite in your feedback, guys. Some dingbat wrote me an email with no 'body', and the subject called me a moron....
Noticed there is a Prius steering wheel on Ebay, anyone need one? ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM...
... You're not a moron, but I think you might have unrealistic expectations to think that someone would offer up a pair of Prius for this experiment. That...
I agree, meaning I can't see a point to trying this experiment. But, I can think of a use for two drivetrains, if you're building your own car. Run the rear...

... Good idea. I don't like the bottom spoke on the Prius wheel. I've been thinking of ordering up a Grant wheel to replace it. I'll put my Prius wheel on ebay...
While we are all dreaming...within the consensus assumptions which I read as allowing a physical cable/umbilical you could "just" connect the two hydraulic...
Has anyone purchased the Toyota Prius Service Manuals? I am interested in the Electrical manual. Does it have detailed information on the stereo system? I...

Did we talk by Email? FYI, the Electrical manual (ordering info is described in detail in another post I just sent to Prius_Technical_Stuff) only has ...
The owner's manual says not to tow a trailer of any kind. What harm could towing a small utility trailer cause? It would be helpful if I could use one...
... FWIW, my personal belief is that this caution in the owner's manual has more to do with the car being a 4-cylinder compact car, than with it being a ...
Hi I am not new to this list but I have had it on no mail for a while. I lurk mostly. Now I have a question. I just had to replace the tires for my prius. I...

... Kimberly, You're not really on the right group for these questions. This group is visited mainly by a select bunch who are into modifications to the Prius....
... Lawrence, My guess is that you'd be fine doing this. You use the words "small", "around town", "occasionally", "short [trips]". You obviously don't intent...
Hi folks, I want to put a 2" receiver hitch on my prius but I don't want to take the weight hit of the unit at coastal tech. Any thoughts on what I could make...

I don't think you save much weight, The Coastal one isn't that heavy. I bought the 1 1/4 before they offered the 2 inch and modified it. no real place to cut...

I have problems with the display witch does not start, dispalying annything but the frames of the infomation. No outside temperature is dispayed but the text...
... Anders, This discussion group is about modifications to the Prius. For help with a problem, you should go to the toyota-prius group. You may have a...
... Sounds bogus to me, but let's discuss. The modification appears to be a resistor that changes the intake air temperature signal to the Engine Control Unit...
I agree with Graham's comments. In the "old days" when working with high-compression engines, one could get an increase in power by advancing the timing (up...
One additional side thought regarding the Prius Timing Advance kit. Although the kit may not offer much in the form of additional horsepower to the power train...
... I really hate it when someone agrees with me and then I have to disagree with something they said, so please forgive me, Fred. The Prius engine has a very...
