    New Guy With a Grey Corolla

    The '08 Matrix went to the dealership, so hopefully the person that bought the car will respect it. The '96 GT went to a guy that autocrosses and he wanted a chassis to build up, so I was glad he wanted to buy it. I wanted to keep the GT but between work and school, I had zero time to work on it.

    Engine Belt Problem

    Nevermind. I mis-read it. You don't have a power-steering pump ... it is possible that your car is equipped with Electronic Power Steering.

    USB Media - Super Slow

    There is a reason Windows doesn't allow FAT32 to be used for anything greater than 32GB. The reason is that there will be more clusters than the system can recognize. You can format a 64GB stick with FAT32 if you want, but half the stick will not be accessible. It's like having 8 GB of RAM on...

    Turning Key While Driving :( OCD

    Technically, with enough money you can do anything. It would fit, but the cost to modify the steering wheel column to accept a lock from a '62 VW would probably be expensive, and your passive anti-theft system would have to be disabled. The push-button start is probably cheaper.

    Thinking About Buying A New Corolla But Have Question

    I changed my oil at 150 miles, and have kept an eye on it since. Still at full at 6,100 miles. Also, there is a break-in period for the engine (manual says 637 miles or something odd like that).

    Steering Shaking at 55 mph

    AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I saw something similar to that. Guy kept saying that no shop in town could balance his tires. I threw it on the balancer and saw a hump in the tire ... where the tread was getting ready to separate. Most people throw it on the balancer and go to something else because they...

    Replacing Front Rotors

    I also got the heel-toe shifting down pat. Still wish the throttle was an inch to the left so I had more of my sole on the brake pedal, but it isn't a slip risk (I also have 13 wide feet so ... I got picked on in middle school but they are awesome for racing).

    Replacing Front Rotors

    I got the brakes on the '14 nice and warm on the 74 heading into Palm Desert. People were actually nice and turning out so I had the fun part of the drive to myself, LOL! Managed to get somewhat used to the Corolla's understeer. I load the brakes and cut the wheel at the start of the corner to...
