Talking Noobie Here!

Hi peeps! I'm 16 and this is my first car. I want to learn everything about it so I can modify it. Any help is appreciated!

Two quick suggestions: (1) start your mileage records in the database, and (2) check out the FAQ in the Prius forum. The mileage database is the most important because it lets you test and verify your assumptions about how to drive the car efficiently. There is nothing like facts and data to get you down the road efficiently.

The FAQ is a collection of 'low hanging fruit,' some of the common techniques that improve performance. There are more extensive write-ups and Wiki is a good source too. However, this will get you well on the way.

GOOD LUCK!

Welcome aboard, Jean Luc! I'm a "car guy" too, and I'm looking for any interesting modifications. Let's compare notes!
