Well that's great that you're going to fix it! :thumbsup:

Great post BDaniel! :thumbup1: AMSOIL synthetic motor oils have been documented to improve fuel economy and save money. The AMSOIL P.i. fuel additive has also been proven to increase fuel economy. You don't need to wait until your Toyota Care plan expires to enjoy the benefits and savings of...

Lighter weight wheels help fuel economy, as do Low Rolling Resistance tires, (I picked up about 2 mpg with my own car using the fantastic Bridgestone Ecopia EP422's!), and top shelf synthetic oils and transmission fluids like AMSOIL synthetics. NGK Iridium spark plugs are also excellent for...

The volume of air and how fast it is traveling provides for good fuel economy. Imagine yourself blowing through a typical soda straw. You'll be able to have that air traveling at high rate of speed. Now imagine yourself trying to blow through a 5" pipe. Oh yes, the 5" pipe can flow more air...

IFMJohn - I was hoping you'd chime in. Excellent post! :thumbup1: When this darned toothache stops throbbing, I have more to add.

It is maximized for that right from Toyota. A four-cylinder engine only needs so much air and will only generate so much exhaust. Overdoing it in those area's will reduce torque and thus fuel economy. I don't have time at the moment to elaborate. I'll be back later.:thumbsup:

That will hurt fuel economy, not help it.

No fuel economy upgrades?

Unless the car is pushed to the absolute limit and you're driving like a madman, you wont notice any difference between drum brakes vs disc brakes on the rear. I agree with acharleswhyte; if it's not broken, don't fix it.

Since when is an engine or transmission making a whistling noise that wasn't there before, "okay"?

TigerHeli is right on the money. Safety first.

There's a speck of dirt on the hood! :D:) Nice looking car!:thumbup1: Any plans for fuel economy upgrades?

This looks like a European only version of the Corolla?

Are you going to be looking for another Corolla?

What year Corolla do you have?

Here, here! :clap::thumbup1: The folks who posts questions asking for help with their vehicles who then receive it and never reply as to the end result, they sure get old. It seems very selfish to me not to share that information with others here in the Corolla Forum so everyone can benefit.

Do you have an pictures of the damage? By your description, it doesn't sound too bad.
