40k miles is now high mileage? The engine is barely broken in. I wouldn't trust anything that mechanic says. Stick with 0w-20 as it calls for. The new Camry uses 0w-16! And in Japan they've been using 0w-8!

I'm not on Instagram. I was told that I could turn up the boost some more for more power but I wanted to keep the reliability really high. And it feels like a beast with 225HP with my 5-speed at 8.6 PSI.

Always change them in pairs, as bulbs age the brightness changes. I always keep the working old bulb as an emergency back up though.

Just as it says, use high mileage ONLY of you are seeing oil leaks. The only difference is that it adds seal conditioners to swell seals and gaskets to slow down or stop oil sewerage and leaks.

Yes but the engine and chassis are basically the same as the 10th gen Corolla. And I was thinking of it with the 6MT and not the CVT. I'm sure that the CVT could handle an extra 100HP if it was driven smart and not drag raced at every red light. Just use the extra power when needed to pass get...

For a street car you could never really use this kind of power with any traffic around. Most street cars are overkill as far as power is concerned. Heck I can't really use the 225 HP that my turbocharged Corolla has. The extra power is nice in the mountains but even that power can move the...

I'm not sure that 350HP is even needed and may be overkill on a Corolla. I turbocharged my 2009 Corolla S and even with a mild tune I now have 225HP compared to the stock 132HP. My tuner said I could easily get 300HP out of the system I have but I'm fine with what I have. It pulls so hard and is...

I had a Borla on mine for 6-7 years with a Takeda SRI and it was such a great sound. When driving normally I didn't really notice it being different from stock but when I wanted to rip through the gears it sounded amazing above 3500 rpm. It was the best sounding I-4 that I've ever owned. A...

A 6-speed MT will be even quicker if that's what you are worried about.

I never said to trade it in unless someone really wanted a MT. I would suggest that over trying to swap a CVT for a MT though. My comments are for those seeing this thread that might be wondering about this same thing. I wish that Toyota offered a MT on the Camry. I like the fact that Honda...

I was just replying in a general sense. You asked us what we thought about your 2 concerns so I addressed one of them by giving an option. Pretty simple really.

You have to pay to play! That being said it's worth every penny!

Getting a 6-speed MT will solve one of your worries!

Yikes!!!! :eek:

Actually that is stretching the tire quite a bit. You can see how much farther the edge of the wheel is than the tire edge. I wouldn't go any wider then a 8.5" wheel with a 225/40R18 tire even though it does say you can go as wide as 9" max on TireRack. I would stick with a 8" as the tire then...

Thanks! I love my cars and the variety that I own within the Toyota family. My daughters all drive a Toyota and my mom has 2 while my brother also owns a Toyota truck. Over the years even my wife's sisters have bought mostly Toyotas and many have been from me.I here are 8 more Toyotas among...

1. If you are gone 3 weeks I would recommend using a battery tender 2. I would never use Bosch (German) plugs on a Corolla. Stick with OEM or NGK. People have complained a lot over the years about how Toyotas don't run well on Bosch plugs. 3. Prime the injectors by turning on the fuel pump...

Yes indeed.

PIAA bulbs are so overpriced and have never lasted very long for me. I've used V-leds a few times with decent results.

If it's a new brand, how can it be reputable yet? It takes time to get a good reputation.
