Im 47 too make and to make this topic worst i have two prius.

A his and a hers. I struggled with the idea that it was not cool.

And after selling the 22B then going to a Lexus 400h & now to itech prius, my head was telling me this is practical.

My monthly expenses running both cars has dropped dramatically.

I also looked at the Hybrid Estima but thought this was an even worst look. But honestly once you\'ve gone hybrid its hard gong back to diesel or petrol, the fuel consumption is around 4.4-5Ltr and the performance is okay 0-100ks in 10 seconds. And since my cars are primarily for town commuting these are ideal.

PS I didnt mean to upset Clusub members i was only wanting to show off the volk ce28n mags off.

Haters gona Hate.

You already have owned and enjoyed one of the most sorted after Subarus there are. Some people on this forum wouldnt of even seen one in person. Life changes. I brought a Landcruiser. Lexus CT will be my next car.

If I was to look at another go fast car, TBH a Merc A45 AMG.

After owning a 22b i realised after the hype it was only a glorified type r with a wide body kit that drank like a v8.

I only got 250ks from a tank. And where ever i drove i was paranoid.

I have 3 friends on facebook that also had 22Bs and 2 off them sold theres shortly after i sold mine.

Like the saying goes. BEEN THERE DONE THAT.

I understand the need to sell and get a prius if you commute and the paranoia (sp) thing.

I just have a race car as a toy and my commuting car is a automatic 1.3 starlet from 1993 a perfect car for commuting I actually love it despite tha fact its dying on me now.

Things do change

I went from 20 years of Subaru ownership, to owning a toyota + 2 subaru projects ( RX11 and Brumby) neither of which I drive on a regular basis and I am thinking of selling both and using the money to upgrade the Hilux.

Still love Subaru and always will BUT I will save to get a modern project Subaru( well modernish) either a SVX or 99 Ra coupe.

When it comes down to it all of our situations change sometimes good and sometimes bad.

Yes. You are right things change. Especially when it comes to family and responsibilities. I also have owned a number of different model Subaru\'s over the last 30 years and have owned over 20+ different cars.

But in the end they only serve a purpose and always cost money and depreciated. As my wife always tells me, cars are never an investment no matter how you package it.

It has been proved that the Prius is less economical/less enviromentally friendly than a VW polo Diesel :)

Still I do like the Hybrid idea, was very close to buying the missus a hybrid Estima but could not see me driving it SO I brought her a gas guzzling V6 one :) ( nah it actually better than the 4 as the engine works less hard)

I will be turning 46 i a few months so getting up there :) my mid life crisis ? starting a new family with my 30 yo missus :)

I just love the fact you have a missus 16 yrs younger...cradle snatcher lol

Didn\'t know you had TWO Prius (Prii ?) Dave !

What size are those CE28\'s ?

They look a little lost...

Does the car get up your drive without scrapping the front ?

Lexus CT200 ?

BLEEEEEEEEEEECH !!!!

Not even remotely sporty.

WEll you need alot of money for the right vehicles to be an investment.

But playing round with cars is a hobby/passion. Which will only cost money.

I took up golf/MTB and RC cars

Aren\'t they a prius with a slightly different body & extra bits? (Like the old SC400/celsior or altezza vs RS200 / you name it there\'s a lexus version of a toyota)

shh its not like this thread is about yo...... oh

:P

Auto cruiser, 1st tank of gas used on weekend, not much more expensive than the GTB, 10x cooler

I liked Dave\'s comment bout a 22b not being that flash really over a fat Type R when alot of ppl refer to it as a "god" car

least he has taste in rims! and kept us updated on the 22b

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
