Here they are! Can't wait until I can bed them in and see their potential. One thing, if you do this install, get the special tool for rear calipers piston compression (they sell them at O'Reillys and mount to a 3/8" ratchet), mount the hardware without the rotor and pads, then, while squeezing...

So I installed these on my girl's 2010 Corolla since I got a whopping 14 months out of the set of Silverstar Ultras that were in there before. I knew it was risky, but I decided to take a gamble on them anyway. Pros: 1. They are bright! 2. They're not that ugly yellow 3. They throw light...

Sorry, I lack an install guide, but if you follow the directions provided, it is pretty straight forward. My alignment was 4 full turns up from bottom out, LED orientation at left|right To get the driver side in, I had to remove the battery bracket and tilt the battery out of the way, install...

LED Turn signals are still a work in progress, but I will get those updated when I can (waiting on new sockets since I barely have enough wire to work with - that and the vampire clips that came with the load resistors are the wrong gauge. Instead, I will remove the old sockets and solder in...

So I had a few scratches on my 2014 Corolla S, as well as some stone chips that were driving me nuts. I found a pretty good method for using touch-up paint and having it come out well. This is what I did. 1. If the paint is peeling at the chip (likely) or the scratch, very quickly go over...

... decided to put the PCV Valve UNDER THE INTAKE MANIFOLD? On the 1ZZ-FE it was a 10 minute job!

So I stalled the car at a light that turned green, started the engine back up and made my left turn, and my EPS light stayed on for a minute before it shut off. Never went back on in subsequent starts, had full steering the entire time the light was on, wondering if the steering wheel doesn't...

Fram has a Fresh Breeze cabin air filter for our 2014 (didn't show up on the FreshBreeze url but came up in the general Fram website). Uses carbon as well as baking soda to eliminate odors too...

So, no, they cannot modify the threshold that causes hyper flash. Looks like I'm buying a junk instrument cluster to experiment on. They also didn't change my blinks from 3 to 7 (I think the guy was confusing that request with changing the threshold for LEDs), but I will bring in the manual...

Found this beauty on Toyota's website. http://toyota.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/7690/session/L3RpbWUvMTQwNTE2MTk2NS9zaWQvRXNvWWk1Wmw%3D

I see many drivers that use a stickshift but lack basic shifting technique. They tend to claw the shifter and use their wrist to switch gears, and these are the drivers that will end up missing a shift during a race (3rd to 2nd shift + 80 m.p.h. = BOOM). This is how I grip the shifter. Notice...

Here is a how-to video on teaching a manual transmission to a new driver or driver that hasn't experienced the joy of one. http://youtu.be/SfZmP-sZifQ The video is still processing (it's over a gig) so it should be live around 6:00 a.m. PST I mentioned in the 2014 Forum that I taught my niece...

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...

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...

So tools you will need include some double-sided tape, a Phillips screwdriver (or a 10mm socket and ratchet, preferably in 1/4" drive so you don't over-torque any of the body bolts) and nails (or a flathead screwdriver if you just cut yours). This is the box that you'll get And this is the...

There have been several people on this forum that ask for help. As an experienced mechanic and a car enthusiast, I enjoy helping people out, and have no problem taking time out of my day to help people out on their cars, just as other people have helped me out in the event that I get stuck (it...

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...

These are 10 LED reverse lights, definitely improved over the 6 LED reverse lights. Can see more glow on the ground LED tail light (45 Dual Intensity Red LED) The camera is making them look more orange than they actually are.
