    Lowering springs

    The Tein are a more entry point compared to the BC. The BC coils are more adjustable. On the 10th Gen Corollas people tried both but the obvious choice is that the BC were better quality. Just food for thought though as they do cost more but you get what you pay for. Compare the features and you...

    Body kits

    Go big or go home! I was surprised that the kits were as affordable as they are. I was thinking that they would be around $1500.

    Corolla gets #2 Consumer Reports Best Buy Rank

    Nope. The Corolla has always had an I-4 from the factory. At least in the NA market. I'm sure that people have swapped in a V6 but I would be concerned about the extra weight over the front axle and if it would throw off the balance of the car. Adding my turbo kit to my Corolla didn't add much...

    Corolla gets #2 Consumer Reports Best Buy Rank

    I'm running 8.6 psi on my 2009 Corolla S 5MT. The nice thing about that much boost is that it keeps everything reliable but allows me to have the power on tap when needed. If you drive your CVT normally and don't race it at every stop light I think it will work perfectly just as it would normally.

    CVT Transmission Issues ??

    I think that a lot of owners almost try to listen for something that they think may be different. CVT's operate differently and make different noises but I imagine that what most people hear is completely normal. Allow them to check it out with you on a test drive so that you can point out the...

    FINALLY 350HP COROLLA!

    I'm just saying that doing in and out of regular traffic more power is generally useless. Heck, I can't use what I have until I get out of any traffic. Now if I was tracking my car that would be different. If I lived back in New Mexico or Colorado at much higher elevation more power could more...

    Negative wheel offset -12. Unsafe?

    You didn't list the width of each wheel which will also have an affect on the issue. Going from a 33 offset wheel to a 45 offset means that your wheel will be sucked in 12mm more which might rub and look terrible. You could always use a high quality 20mm spacer to have a much better final...

    synthetic engine oil

    I always used Mobil 1 synthetic oil on every car I've had, even if it didn't come with synthetic originally with fantastic results.

    Looking to Buy

    Why? A Corolla is a lot more reliable and less expensive to maintain then a BMW is for a DD. My neighbor loves BMW's but he would never have one for his DD. He has a 2010 Mazda 6 for that role and my other car guy neighbor has a 2015 Corolla S.

    Looking to Buy

    The 10th gen Corolla has been a very reliable car as most all Corollas are. The best bet is to get one that you know had regular maintenance and was never wrecked. I love my 2009 Corolla S.

    Corolla gets #2 Consumer Reports Best Buy Rank

    This is why I turbocharged my 10th Gen Corolla. I get a lot more power and yet when I'm just cruising I still get 33+ mpg with all of that lovely turbo torque so low in the power band. My Corolla is a blast to drive with turbo power. A V6 would be fun too but I think adding the turbo was much...

    CVT Transmission Issues ??

    The Focus ST is a fun car to drive but a POS. I'll take my 2009 Corolla S Turbo any day over a Focus ST.

    Test n Tune Time Slips

    The sound is worth it alone but my point is that it does add HP and any additional HP is welcome and a benefit.

    Bikes, yes. Motorcycles, not anymore. After working in the ER as an x-ray tech I lost my desire to ride motorcycles after seeing so many accident victims come in.

    CVT Transmission Issues ??

    The DCT in the Focus has been a huge nightmare but is a completely different trans then the CVT. The CVT has been very reliable but if anyone wants to have a more engaging time driving the Corolla then get the 6-speed manual.

    Who Sells The Best Toyota Extended Warranty ??

    Because you are playing the odds. Toyotas have been very reliable for long past the time an extended warranty has ended. So most of the time you are just wasting money. It would be better to just save some money each month for future repairs if you wanted. There are many cars that buying an...

    Rim Size Fitment

    It doesn't work like that as you think +2/-2 in sizes. As you you can see from the sizes I listed that are a perfect diameter. You were close but the difference between a 40 series and 45 series tire is very large in this case. You would be better off in swapping out the tires for the proper...
