    Magnets on CVT oil pan?

    Still on top reliability wise in this segment

    I was drooling over the new Civic when it came out but from what I'm seeing and reading, DAAAMN so many issues. I don't even want to think about when that turbo starts acting up. Perfect example of what happens when you deviate from a working approach which is subtle changes. Honda redid this...

    Worst Case Scenarios for out 11th Gen Corollas

    Hey guys, I buy cars and drive them till the end so that got me thinking and so far there are two things that come to mind on 11th gens that can set you back a few hundred/thousands dollars and it has to do with the new technology Toyota introduced. I might be wrong and it may be a non issue...

    Good HubCentric Wheel spacers

    Does anyone know where to buy best quality HubCentric bolt on I guess, ones that come with it's own set of bolts and aren't cheap. If anyone's using the Amazon aluminum ones, have you had any issues with them? Any vibration, do you need to tighten them up from time to time etc... any safety...

    Low RPMs causing slight vibration while in gear at full stop

    Hi guys, not sure if it's Corolla specific since my mom's 2003 did the same thing after it had a few miles on it, but I'm currently at 42k and whenever I'm driving and come to a complete stop with foot on brake and in gear (D) it's a cvt, the rpms drop a bit where it's vibrating the car...

    Rear Wheel Well

    Has anyone noticed that the rear wheel wells don't have any corrosion protection as far as plastic shields or whatever they're called to prevent corrosion, rock chip damage. I do see some rubber compound that was sprayed but it's sloppy, doesn't cover everything and I see exposed metal...

    CVT swap with 4sp Auto

    Hello All, Was just thinking if there someone whose cvt went out early for whatever reason passed warranty wanted to swap with traditional Auto since it's probably waaay cheaper than current CVT. I'm assuming it would be easier to do than from cvt or auto to manual. Has anyone tried or...

    Corolla K313 CVT same model as Toyota C-HR?

    Hey guys, I was just looking at this new Toyota C-HR and it seems to come with a 2.0L 4banger with a CVT. 2.0 has around 140hp and lil more torque I would imagine. I was curious if it uses the same K313 CVT transmission as Corolla. If it does which I wouldn't be surprised, then Toyota...

    Next gen Corolla BMW Engine?

    Did I just read this right? Supposed to use a BMW engine and be built in Mexico. This goes against everything corolla is know for. Reliability will be questionable to say the least as BMW engines fuk up all the time, been there done that, seen it on family's rides and don't want anything to...

    GAS Prices going UP

Cost to fill up was around 70 bucks almost twice...

    Tire balancing vs alignment

    Hey guys, Every time I'm at the dealership they're trying to talk me into wheel rotation/balancing and alignment and I always decline, well had tire rotation and wheels balanced once, I'm at 35k miles right now. Why would I need an alignment if I haven't done anything to put my car out of...

    Steering wheel covers?

    My LE even though premium trim has plastic rubber steering wheel and I need to do something about it. Ergonomics are great just feels cheap. My 4Runner had a leather steering wheel and plastic wood grain trim all around. One company was selling a plastic top cover for it in the exact same...

    Mounting brackets under roof rain gutters?

    I'm contemplating installing a roof rack and would like one that's flush with the side supports as opposed to the ones where the bars are sticking out. Although even these are kind of ugly. I noticed that some vehicles have pre drilled mounting brackets under rubber rain gutters on the roof...

    2ZR-FE oil consumption fixed?

    Didn't mean to alarm anyone with the title but out of boredom I was researching vehicle reliability ratings, I think it was an article where it listed most cars that users returned due to lemon law. Anyway, few minutes later I came across an article where it seems like there was a significant...
