[@JohnnysSpeedShop]

Still fun watching you work in the garage....you stay on top of that safety / ppe...good job. 👍👍

[@TheGibby3340]

Thx Johnny. Turned out to be a bit of a make work project. But that's OK. I know now they are fit for service. Cheers Pal 👍

This whole video is worth watching

Thx for watching 🍻

love the new purchase Ian. just looking at the hybrid vids now

[@TheGibby3340]

Thx Ian…Trying to drag myself into this century 🤣

[@zmanvideo1]

congrats on your new car purchase, cant believe how new those rear brakes looked! Btw, love the SX4 in the background!! ;)

[@TheGibby3340]

Thx. I didn’t expect them to be that good. Rear brakes are typically lightly loaded as you likely know, factor in hybrid regenerative braking and I don’t think they are worked hard at all. Looking to find a 6 speed 2013 SX4 in good shape. Cheers 👍

[@zmanvideo1]

@@TheGibby3340 didn't even know yours was an automatic, hope you find a 6 speed, you should get a really good deal on it. Btw, how is the headroom, shoulder/hip and leg room on your Prius C?

[@TheGibby3340]

@@zmanvideo1 Both my SX4’s are 5 speed manual gear boxes. RPM is closing in on 4 grand at speed…Not efficient. Prius is snug. Designed for the domestic Japanese market 🤣 Cheers 👍

Damn you Toyota! Why did you have to make regen braking so good? I want to see the whole rear brake overhaul... Just kidding. Great video tutorial! Less talk, more actions. I had a Prius C 2014. Now owning my 3rd Prius, a 2005 (300,000km and counting).

[@TheGibby3340]

Thx for taking the time to watch. Cheers 👍

@@TheGibby3340 My Prius C could get me 3.5-4.5l/ 100km easily. If you're new to Prius, I highly recommend looking up on Pulse and Glide driving technique. Another good source to dive into the rabbit hole of how everything hybrid works is to watch Weberauto channel. I'm in BC, btw. Keep up these great content!

[@TheGibby3340]

Thx. I’ll check it out. Prof John Kelly is awesome. Cheers 👍

Thx Boss 👍

[@donaldisrael7147]

Not sure why battery disconnect.

[@TheGibby3340]

Same reason for stowing the key. Standard system safeing.

[@danielru5914]

Late answer, Open driver door and it could perform a brake check. Other Cars briefly pump gas, but Prius Will check brakes.

[@theGADGETSplaylist]

guess with regenerative braking they felt drums were good enough...

[@TheGibby3340]

Judging by condition, they don’t need to be there at all 🤣 Cheers Denis…How’s the fishing going?
