Thanks! I have decided to have a local police vehicle outfitter do it after reading some stuff. I have seen an amazing spike in reckless driving in the last few years which is why I believe now is the time to protect yourself. I will schedule the job probably in a month as local LE contracts...

Out of curiosity, what other dashcams have others tried? I am looking into a dashcam setup for my car due to the exponential increase in reckless driving that I see lately, but I am trying to go for a solution that is as discrete as possible. I also want one that will minimize the windscreen...

Actually Royal Purple is not that great. Tests in the past have shown that it cannot compete against oils like Amsoil, Redline, and others. In fact they used to openly state that only their race oils are fully synthetic, but are not recommended for street use due to lack of detergents. Their...

Keep us updated as it was an injector problem on the old Taurus with 140k miles.

An engine using some oil is normal. While oil consumption of a quart every 3000 miles is a bit much, that is considered well within normal limits. Some engines use more and some use less.

I was curious what some of you guys have done to upgrade the sound system. The factory sound system leaves much to be desired. I am looking purely for fidelity, but it may be a challenge as I have the factory navigation system. Have just upgrading the speakers offered enough of an improvement to...

Have someone start it for you while you stand behind the car and watch and see if you see or smell anything not normal. How are all of your fluid levels? The only time that has ever happened is in my old Focus on a -16 F morning, or on an old Taurus with 140k miles when a fuel injector was leaking.

Chances are they charge $10k because there is not a lot of demand for it. The lack of competition would also indicate lack of demand.

Or buy the new Shelby Cobra GT350 with the flat plane crank 8200rpm redline v8. Better than a Honda and the type of engine Honda no longer builds.

I will tell you that Borla has somehow found ways to make great sounding exhaust systems without the drone you get in many performance systems. I may get one for my Corolla at some point.

They are correct when talking about balance, but that really applies when you regularly take the car to 10/10 to 11/10ths of its limit. The reality is that the severe forward weight bias does not put much stress on the rear, especially with the weight transfer that takes place under hard...

I will say that the CVT in these Corollas are very weird. I also looked at the 6 speed, but I also drive in lots of heavy traffic.

It would be like putting a Chevy engine in a Ford or like how they put Chevy small blocks in the Dodge cars used in one of the F&F movies.

For starters, how would you get everything to bolt up together?

You could, but Borla has some very good sounding systems that arguably is the best on the market. Of course my Borla systems always went on big v8 engines.

That is what I was thinking as TRD does not offer much more than a rear section exhaust. I wonder if Borla makes anything as I have used their systems in the past. Borla uses T304 stainless which does not corrode as quickly here in the salt belt.

I ended up buying the Toyota platinum service contract with 100% refund if unused for 7yr/125k miles. Retail price I believe is $2200 and I bought it for $1555. I also bought a 5 year unlimited mile road hazard damage plan for $225. Our roads in Ohio are so pathetic right now that it makes that...

Hey guys, I will be picking up a Barcelona Red 2015 Corolla LE premium tomorrow morning and was curious if there are any good resources out there that will allow for me to negotiate a good price on the Toyota extended warranties. I have owned Fords my entire life and for that, it has been easy...

On a FWD car with this much forward weight bias, the rear brakes do not do a whole lot. You would likely gain far better braking performance by upgrading the front brakes to something like the Hawk street/sport pads which are about as aggressive as you want on a daily driver.
