• Aisin (Japanese) Carb-equipped - The Snake Pit : Stripping a Late 80's Carburettor 16 May 2016 (Forum)
  more effective.   I don't have a manual for this car but I have a scan of the G10 manual. This carb (AISIN Model 87773) seems to be very similar, but the photos are of the "remove tiny black dot from somewhere in the big grey fuzzy mass" school of 80's photo-impressionism

  realistic rating with highway speeds of 80mph and acceleration of 8mph per second. This has dropped the Prius?s EPA down by 25 percent to an average of 45mpg. This now puts the Toyota within spitting distance of cars like the Chevy Aveo, which costs less then half what the Prius costs. However

  while still loosening up.  It's S-line and 4WD, neither of which I would have insisted on, but they come with the 2-litre engine.  So does the DSG (wet-clutch) which works very well. Even on the 30-mile run home from Salisbury Audi (very good handover) it was obvious that both ride
