    Timing Belt or Timing Chain?

    All VVT-i engines are chain driven. The variable valve mechanisms would strain belts to much.

    LED Fog Lights - I Might Give Them a Try

    Apparently Amazon links don't work too well for some reason. Just search NOK9618 Amazon doesn't have them listed as H16 but that is the correct part number I got from the Nokya website.

    LED Fog Lights - I Might Give Them a Try

    These work with 2014 Osram H16 type bulbs. They use 10 Watts each (opposed to the stock 19 Watt bulbs), and are supposedly designed to specifically have the fog light beam pattern. They are also yellow, which is great. They are expensive, I hate how a box needs to be mounted (this could be...

    Toyota Is Moving It's U.S. Headquarters From California To Texas

    I was in Nevada right before the housing bubble popped. There were so many jobs moving into Reno from California, that companies were giving raises just to prevent employees from going to these new jobs. More jobs available than workers made an awesome position to be in. Unfortunately, most...

    VIDEO - Mothers Polish - Using Clay Bar (How To Video)

    I've heard about these. I'll probably give it a shot soon. I need to buy some wax and put some on the Corolla (washed it once so far and am already seeing paint chips ... ugh ... I hate CA-78, who paves a freeway in 2014?) I use Maguire's Full Synthetic Wax. Love that stuff. It's fairly...

    2007 Corolla Exhaust System - Rusted Flange Repair?

    $910 seems really high. If you were replacing a catalytic converter that would be one thing. But for a pipe with a flange welded to it? I dunno man. Another option would be a junkyard. As long as the ass-end of the car wasn't crushed into an accordion you should be able to pull the entire...

    TDR Toyota Engine Push Start Button

    It looks cool, but the red would look bad inside the beautiful Blue glow of the Corolla.

    Seatbelt Warning Light Staying On

    That might be signifying a problem with the tensioner if disconnecting a wire on the retractor did it.

    2014 Corolla S - Annoying Noise Coming from the Drivers Side

    Yeah, airbags leave a wonderful powder all over the car. The gift that keeps on giving.

    Any Word on TRD Kits or Parts Available?

    Right now, TRD only has the air and oil filter, and the rear sway bar. TRD focuses more on the Tacoma, Tundra, Scion tC, and Scion FR-S. They do release stuff for the Corolla but nothing crazy.

    Testing

    Shouldn't make a difference whether you splice into the parking lights or brake lights as far as brightness goes. Both circuits run at 12V, the brightness comes from the resistance of the filament in the bulb. Lower resistance filament = brake light. Higher resistance filament = parking light

    High Speed Wobbling?

    Yokohama AVID ENVigor are great rain tires. Probably the best I have ever owned.

    Found a Goodie on e-bay!

    I'd be nervous about them stating that it fits 2012-2014, Completely different bumpers.

    2013 Toyota Corolla S Makeing It Into A Race Car

    Most stock engines will handle 6-8 pounds just fine without needing full engine work, and Toyota engines are built strong from the factory. It's when you go past that when it requires a ton of engine work to make reliable. Now if it was a Suzuki or an Isuzu, which is a pile and can destroy...
