Hubcaps don't weigh anything basically so that won't help MPG. I wonder how the Corolla steel wheels would look painted?

Try spraying some WD40 and see what that does.

Replacing a fender isn't hard at all. You'll have to remove the front bumper and the headlight on that side and the wheel well cover. It's mostly bolts, clips and screws that hold the fender.

On that small wheel like switch keep the arrow on the thickest white line. Not on the "on" side cause they will make it stay on all the time. The other smaller white lines control the brightness of your cluster gauge. The rear dome light should come on every time you open the door and will turn...

Almost forgot, check transmission oil. Make sure it's redish/pinkish and not brownish/blackish. Make sure it doesn't smell burnt and if so then it needs a transmission flush ASAP and hopefully it hasn't been like that too long and no damage has been caused.

Crank the car a few times. Maybe twice or 3 times. Don't forget to try driving in reverse just to be sure it works fine.

O well. Anyways, check for leaks. First ask when was the last time they changed the oil, then check oil stick and see if it's burnt or low and compare it with what they told you. Crank the car up and see if you hear any knocking in the engine. See if car cranks up without hesitation. Let it warm...

Yes! You need a 05' - 06' Corolla XRS ECU (maybe XRS engine harness) and cluster. You might also need a 05' - 06' Corolla XRS/Matrix XRS/Pontiac Vibe exhaust manifold. You can use the Celica exhaust manifold but you have to delete the air injection option in the XRS ECU. You can try looking for...

I have no idea as to what year Toyota started using transponder keys on Corollas but call Toyota, give them your VIN and find out.

I would call a Toyota dealer, give them your VIN and ask them if your car uses a transponder key. I believe you'll still need to get your new key cut. I have a 2000 Celica GT-S and I just got an extra key from Toyota, all metal with logo, that doesn't use a transponder for $7.18

I recommend taking a mechanic or a friend that knows about cars with you. Sometimes just one person can miss a minor issue that can turn into a bigger one.

If that doesn't work then do process of elimination up and down the trim with masking tape. Good luck.

Try closing all the windows, sunroof and the air vents for the AC and change the air vent handle to adjust it to recycle the air flow in the car.

Yea, there should be a plug on the back of the unit where you can plug in a cord that will allow you to play an ipod or mp3.

Toyo tires are great too!

Michelin, Falkon, Yokohama and Hankook tires would do the job.

@west_newbury_dave That's how it's suppose to be. When someone sits in it with their seat belt on then a "on" light on the right of "airbag" comes on. Sometimes the airbag won't turn "on" if the passenger doesn't have his/her seat belt clicked in. If the airbag sensor is not working or if it's...

I'm pretty sure you'll need a few more other 05' - 06' Corolla XRS parts. I'm not sure about using 05' - 06' Matrix XRS parts.

You'll need a 05' - 06' Corolla XRS ECU and cluster.

I would say a MagnaFlow catback exhaust.
