You are supposed to use full synthetic on the 2ZR-FE. DO NOT USE GTX!!! I use Mobil1 Synthetic or Castrol Syntec Gold, depending on what is in stock. Also, the motor calls for 0w20.

100 ft lbs will probably stretch them. Repeated overtorqueing will eventually cause them to snap. And yeah, not tightening anything in order will cause warping. I usually do two stages of torqueing in order to make sure that won't happen, then go all the way around at my final torque to be...

My plan is to do the mod on the junk instrument cluster first to see if it works. If it works ... then I will mod my own.

It should be a 64 mm. That one millimeter difference shouldn't be significant, but if you can find the correct one, better off using that.

You'll need to change the PCM and wiring since they are different motors, and it is possible that the mounts won't line up since these are different generation engines and Corollas.

If you are getting a high fuel trim with misfire codes, then I would check the ignition circuit for shorts or frayed wiring. Check your misfire count as well.

If you want to sell it quicker, get pictures up on Photobucket and link them here.

Also, dude, don't drive around with a car with hand-tightened bolts. They need to be torqued to 85 ft/lb minimum.

I second that. Whenever I take my car in to get tires rotated (when I am too lazy to do it myself) I demand they use a torque wrench.

Possible the new caliper is defective and sticking. Get it up in the air and have someone pump the brakes and make sure the pads move with the pedal. The bleeder screw only removes air from the line, and if anything would prevent the pads from hitting the rotor at all. Usually if it is...

Possible South African Corollas didn't go OBD-II until later on. It took a while for worldwide manufacturers to stay on the standard worldwide.

WOO! Car-Part.com has one listed for $200. Just called them and asked what it would cost to ship it to California and to make sure it is the multi-information display version (it's from an S so it ought to be). Looks like I'll be able to start this experiment sooner than I initially thought...

Even though the logic for the turn signal assembly is driven by an EEPROM chip, there is more than likely still going to be a shunt resistor for a comparator circuit that can be replaced. Corollas have two possible turn signal current draws based on whether or not you have the integrated side...

Most of the ports are in the driver's side area. The one in the engine compartment is more than likely a secondary diagnostics port. Toyota typically has them near the left kick panel around the fuse box area. The Owner's Manual should give the exact location if you can't find it.

Actually, it may be the receiver for the keyless start system.

That's also a possibility, LOL! I was trying to give the engineers credit.

Good advice.

Also, give it more tanks. Weather is a huge factor in mileage. Usually warmer weather brings better mileage but humidity offsets that.

That was about what I got in my 2008 Matrix (same motor and close to same vehicle weight). I drove a little spirited. If you have the 4 speed auto, that is a factor.
