    Eibach Lowering Springs ETA

    I had Eibach springs on my '82 Mustang GT (along with other goodies), and I was untouchable around corners. Car stayed planted to the road and didn't want to roll or pitch or yaw, at all. I plan on getting a set, especially since the '14 S is a little more lose around corners than I prefer.

    A/C Climate Condensate - Check

    There is no incorrect way of using it. I usually use recirculated air when the A/C is going to keep the car colder, and I always set it to floor when using heat (hot air through the dashboard vents can fatigue you during a drive)

    It Looks Like You Can LED Every Bulb After All.

    Ladies and Gentlemen, I found this while lollygagging online http://www.automotivelightstore.com/ORACLE9005LEDHeadlightReplacementBulbs.aspx LED High Beams FTW!!! $200 though ... but I suppose that is equivalent to about 3.5 sets of Silverstar ZXE, and these will definitely last a hell of a...

    Bluetooth OBD-II Scanner

    Awwww man. Sucks. When I traded in my Focus for the Matrix I forgot a couple knives in my center console, but I went back the next day and a salesman unlocked the door for me so I could get them out.

    A/C Climate Condensate - Check

    It's normal, and how long water drips out depends on several factors. Water dripping out of the HVAC isn't going to harm anything, even if it seems like a lot. Now ... if the water dripping out of the HVAC looks like coolant, and your coolant levels are falling, then you have a leaking heater...

    Bluetooth OBD-II Scanner

    I had it on my Matrix and moved it into my Corolla when I traded the Matrix in. I paid $150 for it but Amazon has it on sale for $100. http://www.amazon.com/ScanTool-426101-OBDLink-Bluetooth-Interface/dp/B006NZTZLQ/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1400738212&sr=8-6&keywords=bluetooth+obd2 I use this...

    2000 Corolla VE Maintenance

    O'Reillys carries Bosch O2 sensors. I'm typically not a fan of Bosch but their O2 sensors are good. I change mine out every 60,000 miles and I usually see a bump up in mileage and improved idle quality when I change it.

    Decreasing RPM's

    800 is a normal RPM. Why do you feel the car will die on you? Excessive vibration? Does the idle drop then come back up to 800? Noises?

    New Wheels and TPMS

    Yup, that button sets your pressure. It's on the left side when you open the glovebox. As far as recommendations go, I couldn't help you with that. Just make sure that it can work on multiple vehicles and that it can be updated via USB cable and computer.

    1.6 Liter Engine & Trans. Compatibility? Advice Desperately Needed.

    Yeah, that single click is because you have enough power to activate the starter solenoid, but not enough to engage it. If you know the battery is good, check your cables for excessive wear. Yes, taking the driveshaft from the car you get the tranny from should work, but I am not 100% on that...

    1.6 Liter Engine & Trans. Compatibility? Advice Desperately Needed.

    If the starter makes a click when you attempt to start it, that is a worn battery or corroded terminals/bad cables. The starter doesn't meet the gearbox, it meets the flywheel, and if that broke you'd know. Sounds like bloody murder when you go to turn the car over, or the starter would...

    How Low Can I Run the Gas Tank Before I Run Out of Gas?

    Roughly 1.5 gallons, but it can vary on several factors. When your low fuel light comes on, you have about 2 gallons. If the low fuel light starts to blink, that means your fuel pressure is dropping and at that point, you better start stretching for a hike. I usually fill up when I start...

    New Wheels and TPMS

    If this is something you plan on doing every season, then yeah, definitely be worth buying the re-learn tool and doing it yourself. Make sure the company that makes it will work for other makes as well, so that if you plan to trade the vehicle in for something else, you don't have to buy a new...

    1.6 Liter Engine & Trans. Compatibility? Advice Desperately Needed.

    shorter shifter? As in the height? As long as the position is the same, shouldn't make a difference, just make aure you grab a transmission with the shifter, just in case they are not compatible.
