    2014 Corolla LED lights

    I haven't noticed. I love the LED lights and how well they illuminate the side of the road. The cutoff can be a little annoying when you are starting up a hill, but I am used to it. Halogens appear to give off more light because they have scatter, where the LED has a straight cutoff ... but...

    A/C Cycles Off Too Much

    Double check with a set of gauges. Usually a slow cycling speed means there is an overcharge, the high pressure circuit has an issue, or the TXV expansion valve is malfunctioning. It could also be a clogged receiver drier filter, but that wouldn't happen unless you had A/C work done and the...

    '13 RIP, Looking at the '14

    I don't think the floormats will work, but you could give it a shot and see. Just make sure no pedals are interferred with. The exhaust will be short. New Corolla has a longer wheelbase so the tip wouldn't reach the bumper.

    2001 Corolla Engine Swap?

    Yes, you may need new motor mounts (and you'll need the PCM but you stated that as a non-issue) but it will fit. Scott, I know in California, you can swap in a new engine as long as 1) The engine came from the same year or newer, and 2) All emissions devices that are necessary for the new motor...

    Where Is A/C Clutch Relay

    Everything works but the A/C blows hot air? Turn on the A/C and see if the clutch cycles before doing anything. The relay should be in the engine compartment fuse box.

    High Speed Wobbling?

    IT'S PERFECTLY FINE!!! You just gotta get used to it. You can steer the car, parked, with your pinkie. Way effortless. That is where the "swaying" comes from (people are used to exerting more effort to steer, muscle memory). Once you get used to it, you'll fall in love with it. It's like...

    High Speed Wobbling?

    Every 80's to early 90's Ford has had power steering issues at one point or another. I was getting ready to ditch the power steering system in my '82 entirely and switch to a manual rack. After a hose blew and I replaced the lines and the rack, I still had the groan of death. Replaced the...

    Engine Stalling on My 2014 Eco Plus

    It's a new engine. The mechanics are probably learning about it themselves, so be patient with them. Plus most states require 3 repairs for lemon law to be invoked. So far I haven't heard anything about the 1.8 in the LE Eco causing problems. Probably got a fluke. It happens.

    Silly Question - What is This?

    Mine has it as well, and so do other 2014 Corolla's. It serves some purpose.

    2013 Corolla - Poor Gas Mileage

    Humidity is another thing. Mileage worsens as humidity increases, and Hawaii and Florida are probably the worst.

    Silly Question - What is This?

    I have no idea what it is they do, but it probably relates to underbody aerodynamics.

    High Speed Wobbling?

    I've had several hydraulic power steering systems fail and spray fluid all over the engine when they did. I'll take electric anyday.

    High Speed Wobbling?

    My Yokohama AVID ENVigors had directional tread and they were awesome tires. It's not just the pattern, but the material, the strength of the sidewall, etc. OEM tires are always going to be cheap unless you buy a high performance car, and even they get cheap on those. Aftermarket will always...

    2013 Corolla - Poor Gas Mileage

    How many miles are on it now? Aso, 75-80 uses a lot more fuel than at 65-70, you'd be surprised. I'm also guessing you have the 4-speed automatic and not the manual. It is still insane to get less than 25. I've punched it around town and did about that. Are you constantly flooring it? Maybe a...

    High Speed Wobbling?

    You still have a rack and pinion, the electric drive replaces the hydraulic drive, so if the EPS motor fails, you can still steer.

    High Speed Wobbling?

    Scott, the new S Plus and Premium are stock 17" wheels, which is what he has. He is talking about going down to the 16" from those. As far as the swaying, I got used to it. The EPS is definitely different from hydraulic power steering, but once you get used to it, you realize how much better...

    Factory Speaker Options

    I'm doing the speakers after LEDing the entire car and adding Eibach with the TRD sway bars.

    2013 Corolla L - Adding Cruise Control

    I though you had to move the airbag and horn wiring from the old connector to the new connector that comes with the cruise switch, but that was through thecruisecontrolstore.com, so your kit may be different.

    Weird A/C Issue

    Since you mentioned that you would intermittently lose more and more cold air ... I'm thinking you don't have a leak and just need a refill.
