    Loose side skirts, vandalism? Attempted auto theft?

    So this morning, I was removing my throttle body and going to replace the IACV gasket. When I was packing everything up to get back to the house to clean the idle air control valve, I noticed that the right side skirt of my 2002 Toyota Corolla S was "lower" than my left. Upon inspection, I...

    Hello again, it's been almost half a year since the last time I posted. And unfortunately, the fixes and maintenance I have performed myself, didn't manage to help at all at stemming the problem. Oil consumption plateaued around 1 quart every 100 miles. Since the last time I posted in late...

    Common Suggestions for Engine Swaps

    Hi, I am currently interested in replacing the 1zz-fe in my 2002 Corolla S with something more powerful. The regular engine has a pretty powerful pull on first gear, but as soon as I hit around the 70 mph driving through the San Bernardino Pass (3000+ Feet in Elevation) on the Interstate 15...

    Trouble Reading Dipstick

    Alright, so my 2002 Corolla S has been verified to have a "minor" oil burning issue according to Desert Toyota in Las Vegas, around 4,000 miles ago. Between then and now, I added a total of two quarts of oil after religiously checking the dipstick. Each time I added, I added half a quart a...

    2002 Corolla S 5-Speed - Engine Braking?

    I am trying to learn how to properly engine brake the car without causing extensive clutch wear, while at the same time being able to stop in time. You see, where I live (Las Vegas), everyone cuts each other off, tailgates, and sometimes moves across FOUR lanes at a red light because they...
