I checked inventory on both local Pick N Pulls. Zero Prius's. Zilch. This ain't a Prius kinda province.

Let me guess, BC? The "green" province yet no hybrids in site. Alberta through to Ontario, for parts or even working vehicles, $300 to $2000 CAD. BC, nothing in the scrap yards and 4k+ for ...

Thanks again john. I'm not too scared of 220v and I've done my fair share of fixing "electricians" death traps . Ironically we picked up 3 pallets of isolators and switch boards on the weekend for 25 dollars. Some are 3 phase industrial which is overkill and then some.

Patiently waiting on further development. I have been fascinated by these transaxles for the last couple years. Stumbled across your work here just as i was about to give up on the notion. Thanks for keeping the dream alive. I happen to have an old Toyota that i want to restore, along with an ...
