Considering the people I have run into in my travels, finding someone who is absolutely clueless isn't out of the realm of possibility, and transcends all boundaries, automotive world included. It's possible there are people who are completely ignorant when it comes to cars (or any other...

You're probably not going to have much luck finding what other motors may fit your car, as people who buy Corollas aren't really part of the street scene, at least not that I've ever noticed. The 2JZ motor is an awesome choice, but there are a few problems. 1 - your car is front-wheel-drive...

You're really intent on doing something, aren't you? So, here's what I think, from easiest, to most difficult... 1 - Finding a chip, or system that piggybacks your ECU, and removes the speed limiter. I don't like systems that trick your ECU into doing something it wasn't designed to do...

I've long since moved on from the Corolla, but a life-long car fan...

This answer is in no way official, but in the US, 35mph, 45mph, and 55mph, are common speed limits. The red might just be a reminder to people (kind of like how cars of the 80's had the 55 highlighted on the speedo). Separate question - what the f*ck are you doing taking a picture while...

I don't understand why there is so much wheel gap. It makes the car look lifted.

While I'm not a Corolla owner, I think this info may still help. KARR is an aftermarket alarm company. If it was shown on your window sticker, it must have been on one of those supplemental window stickers (which may look official). The KARR system didn't come from the factory. If your car...

I thought I'd throw in my two cents worth. You might want to get a hold of the shop manual for your car. Changing out the physical head unit will probably be straight forward, but the connectors will more than likely be different, so that could post a compatibility issue. Also, if the new...
