    Just Bought a 2017 Toyota Corolla IM, and have anxiety over something :-(

    Thanks. I've added the rear spoiler, side decal and painted the mudflaps to match the color since that picture.

    HIGHEST MILEAGE 11TH GEN.

    Very easy. Just loosen the fill plug first on the side of the transmission. Once you loosen it to know that you can fill it loosen the drain plug on the bottom front of the transmission. The bolts are 24mm in size. Very easy to do. Fill until the gear oil flows out the fill hole. I change my...

    Just Bought a 2017 Toyota Corolla IM, and have anxiety over something :-(

    Not sure what you are seeing. If you look at the pic from the side the area below the front bumper actually is angled up a little and has plenty of clearance. It's actually higher than the middle of the car. If you are resurfacing the road you can make sure it is smooth and level in all the...

    Just Bought a 2017 Toyota Corolla IM, and have anxiety over something :-(

    I'm surprised as there is plenty of ground clearance if your iM is at stock height. The car isn't low by any means. I've driven my 2009 Corolla S Turbo which is lowered on gravel roads without issue. I just have to be aware of how to traverse the ruts and bumps. If you wanted a little more...

    First Toyota LEMON I've ever seen ...

    I've got a 2009 Corolla S that I bought in November 2008. I've owned it almost 11 years and have had no issues with it even after turbocharging it. I do keep it in the garage or under my carport so it's out of the elements. The paint looks brand new and it's a blast to drive with the power and...

    First Toyota LEMON I've ever seen ...

    I wasn't trying to offend you but I was trying to show how these things do and can wear out. You didn't give any maintenance details in your original post so I was just taking your points one by one. I would hope that you would have understood what I was doing. I've seen cars much newer than...

    First Toyota LEMON I've ever seen ...

    Congrats on the new 2020 Corolla. I do love the new design. As far as your 2009 Corolla lets go through these things one at a time. 1. Well, the cam gear rattle is a known issue but doesn't really cause any damage. 2. The car is 10+ years old so rotting rubber trim will wear out. Parking...

    Performance upgrade ideas

    It's a "K-type" lip spoiler from eBay for the 2009-10 Corolla.

    Battery is flat after days later what I am doing to figure out:

    The battery should read around 12+ volts with the car off. With the engine running you should see 13.5-14.2 volts most of the time. An alarm system can run your battery down in 2 weeks so keep a trickle charger on it to be safe.

    09 corolla S minimum acceleration upgrades

    Too bad since that is the real way to get HP. Under $3k gets you an amazing turbo kit. You can add a little HP with intake and exhaust and even a tune by Orange Virus now. Maybe 20 HP for around $1100. For me, I love my turbo Corolla S.

    Performance upgrade ideas

    First of all, if your Corolla is still N/A a 3" exhaust is way too big and you will lose power and torque. 2nd, if you want real power it's time to turbocharge it. The turbo kit from turbokits.com is excellent. It's well made and very reliable. I've had mine installed for 2 1/2 years and it's...

    2009 Corolla S Turbo Thread Build

    Drove my 09 Corolla S Turbo the 1024 miles down to Toyotafest last month. It was the first long drive over 200 miles I've been on since installing the turbo kit. She ran like a dream and I even got great MPG on the drive from between 35-40 MPG. I took all back roads on the way home. Instead...

    17 inch 5 spoke wheels

    The downside of those is that they are very heavy and the offset and width aren't ideal. I love the 5 spoke look too so I bought a set of TSW Rivage 17x8 +35mm offset wheels that are 8lbs lighter than the OEM wheels.

    Transmission Fluid 2012 Corolla

    I was going to change the AT fluid and filter for my sister-in-law on a 2013 Corolla LE that she recently bought. How many quarts does it take when changing the filter also? I have manual transmissions on my Corollas so I've never messed with an AT.

    Can I/Should I mod my 2009 Corolla XLE?

    Modding it can only be your decision. If you want to why not? I love what I've done to my 2009 Corolla S Turbo.

    FRS wheels for 2016 Corolla LE....

    I'm not a fan of slamming a car but lowering it some for better handling I'm all up for. Eibach springs are a great option to get a nice lowered look but the ride is still nice with much improved handling. If you want to be able to dial in the ride and height you can go with BC coilovers. That's...

    FRS wheels for 2016 Corolla LE....

    Always on all for wheels. They came in a set of 4. I bought them on eBay or Amazon, I can't remember but they were very inexpensive.
