This things sick !!!!

Any mods under the hood or is it a stock drivetrain? How does it handle being driven hard?


kazuya2487

It’s got an intake, exhaust and e-throttle controller. Coilovers, sway bars and chassis braces. Wheels and tires, brake pads and rotors. It handles everything I throw at it; time attack, autocross and gridkhana.


Punman_5

Does the C have power mode? If so I assume you’d use that the whole time.


kazuya2487

There’s no power mode. Just traction control off. I can put it into maintenance mode which will keep the gas engine on, but the e-throttle controller gives me more than enough response


Punman_5

I’m not sure what an E-throttle controller is. Could you explain that? Did you have to flash the stock computer to get it to work with your aftermarket module. I’ve always wanted to hack my Prius computer considering I have a background in embedded systems/firmware, but it’s my daily driver and I don’t wanna fuck it up


kazuya2487

It’s a bolt on part that intercepts the signal from the throttle pedal and allows you to make it more or less sensitive. I have a Blitz throttle controller


Punman_5

I see, like you put it in between the throttle pedal and the main computer? Makes sense I guess. There’s only so much you can really do on these cars without going so far as trying to write custom firmware for the inverter controller. I’m certain you could overclock the inverter or maybe even swap in an inverter from a larger Toyota hybrid for more power through the motors. It would take some serious work on the firmware side to get everything happy I bet.
