    TRD springs: DIY or no?

    I'm trying to put some TRD springs on the rolla soon, and I'm debating whether or not to do the work myself. I'm guessing the installation would probably cost around $200 with alignment. With parts is about $400 +/- $25. Is there anything that will break if I go after it myself? Figure a spring...

    Engine Accent Project

    Currently on a tight budget, so my customization projects must start small. Saw someone with a white Corolla paint their engine cover and a few other trim pieces to match the body. It looked good, and it wasn't something that would make my car stand out too much; I want to wait till I can afford...

    What is this color called?

    Here's my 2015 S. Which color is this. I am going to paint some accent parts under the hood, and umm, trying to decide which color they are to be: Should I copy the body color, the copper interior trim color, the bright red S. Badge, or go with something cool like Forest Green. I am quite...

    Spirited driving with the CVT?!

    Took the 'rolla up into the mountains yesterday and put her into sport mode. I spent a lot of time in the top of 2nd and 3rd gear. I had all the windows down and was listening, mostly to the car in front of me, but also to the CVT; a definite whine was constant in the higher RPM's, like...

    2015 Corolla S rear brake conversion

    Hello One of my first projects will be converting my rear drum brakes to disc brakes. I can't have real wheels until I get rid of the ol' drums in the back. Has anybody thought about, tried, or completed this conversion? Does anybody know the specifics about which years/models have rear disc...

    Engine swap options for the E-170 2ZR-FE?

    I can't help but wonder how the Rolla would do with a 3.5l V6 2GR-FE swapped in. I would take that over a turbo kit any day. Has anybody heard of any swap projects with the 11th gen chassis?

    Clicking noise coming from passenger side, changes with speed:

    For a few days now I've been hearing a clicking noise coming from the passenger side of my Corolla. It changes based on speed, and I cannot tell if it is coming from the front or the rear. I jacked up the passenger side with the car in neutral, and tried but failed to replicate the noise by...

    Repair Manual Access

    Does anybody know how I may go about getting my hands on some repair manual pages? Broke the mount for one of my driving lights whilst mowing down errant tumbleweeds. If anybody has some insight, I could use a part number for the driving light mount (PS), and, some direction on how to attack...

    My first 'new car:' Spot on with Corolla S!

    Hello, I bought my Corolla S used with about 30k, and it is the newest car I've owned. Previously I had always payed cash for my cars, usually at least 10-15 years old with 200k+ miles, but this is the first car I've financed. Super happy. I love pretty much everything about this car; it is...
