Also, this is your wife, not the enemy. You want to protect her, not let her own stupidity and pigheadedness kill her! You are the man of the house! Put your foot down! "I love you and I need you in my life. Therefore I will not assist you in any way, shape or form that will put your life...

Why would your wife take such a huge risk with her very life? In many states, not wearing a seat belt is illegal. Even I if knew how to disable it, I'm sorry but I would not help anyone do that and in so doing hasten their death!

A Toyota dealer has no legal right or authority to void a warranty. Only a Toyota employee, i.e. Zone Representative can do that. A Toyota dealership is independent of Toyota Inc. Secondly, Toyota Inc. is well aware of the Magnuson Moss Warranty Act and is not going to knowingly violate the...

Good to see you really take care of your cars!:thumbsup: I have step by step instructions on how to do a transmission flush, if you wish. "...pending just an oil change"? I change my AMSOIL synthetic motor oil once per year, out of town trips or not. :thumbup1:

Don't have to argue. They have to do that, by proving whatever aftermarket part damaged another otherwise warranteed part. It can't be just assumed.

No aftermarket part of any kind will void original equipment warranty's per the federal law known as the Magnuson Moss Act.

:thumbsup: Today's modern cars are a whole new ball game than the cars of yesterday. We can try to improve airflow all we want, but if the onboard computer is not designed to take advantage of it, it will still deliver the exact same air to fuel ratio no matter what we do. Ditto with the...

Anti-sway bars can make a significant improvement in handling. For credible confirmation of what fits what, I strongly recommend contacting the manufacturer and not some anonymous, faceless person on the Internet.

For the bounce test, push down as hard as you can at each corner of the car, let it come back up, repeat again and again until the car is bouncing up and down as much as possible. Then, let the car go and if it continues to cycle up and down three times or more, the struts are worn out and...

Guessing, it sounds like the strut bearings plates are worn out, but that's a pure guess. Noises could be coming from a host of different places. The Monroe quick-strut kit comes with the strut, the coil spring and the bearing plate all in one unit. Have you inspected the struts for oil...

It has been documented that bike racks can reduce fuel economy a shocking 3-5 mpg and I never in my wildest dreams would have guessed that. :eek:Aerodynamic drag plays a much more pivotal role in fuel economy than we ever dreamed.

The 1998-2002 Corolla's are noted for high oil consumption due to a deficient piston design which allows the petroleum oil to cause sludge build up in the piston oil holes, which then become plugged up, causing greater temperatures, which causes more sludge, etc. A vicious circle. The piston...

So consumers more interested in show than go will purchase the car. A rear spoiler increase aerodynamic drag, which reduces fuel economy. It also adds weight, which is a big fuel economy no-no.

I take it this engine has been using petroleum oil?

How many miles are on your engine? How many miles per quart is it burning? If we catch it soon enough, there may be hope!
