It's been that price for a while here in the Portland, OR area.

I had a Takeda SRI on my 09 Corolla S for many years before I turbocharged it. It looked excellent and sounded even better. Never threw a code in 6 years.

You are sadly mistaken. The 2ZR-FE uses only 4.4 quarts of oil. If you are putting in 6 quarts you are using way too much! Not sure where you live but I just bought some Mobil 1 at Walmart for $22.88 for a 5 quart jug!

I started to work on moving my battery from under the hood to the truck so I have the room for my remote oil filter relocate. I made some good progress today. I began by selecting the location for mounting the battery in the right rear corner. I marked the holes to drill and jacked the back...

According to this tire calculator your sidewall will go from 5" to 3.5" while going from a 195/65R15 to a 225/40R18 tire. This makes total sense as you are adding 3" to the wheel so by splitting that you get 1.5". Simple math! https://tiresize.com/comparison/

I have always changed my gear oil in my manual transmission cars every 30k-35k miles with Redline synthetic gear oil. My 2009 Corolla S shifts as good as the day it was new. On my only auto transmission in my 1995 Previa I have it changed every 30k miles with Toyota ATF. My 2010 Prius with a CVT...

If you want to keep the car then replace the struts yourself. It's not very hard to do. There are many videos on You Tube that you can watch. If you have some friends that will help you it can be done in a few hours. If you can learn to service your car yourself you can save tens of thousands of...

Fuel filter is in the tank and not made to be changed. I would check for spark but the plugs should be fine at 40k miles. Check that fuel is getting to the fuel rail. I'm also thinking it may be a bad tank of gas. Once it starts go for a long drive and use up the gas or drain it out and refill...

Just my point, if that is all you need to top it off you don't need to top it off. It's perfectly fine if the oil level is just below the full line. No need to top it off before an oil change if that is all the oil level below full. Just saying.

If you check your level and you only need to add 200ml to get it back up to the full mark then it's no where near the low fill mark. You will be fine if it's above the low mark. You make it sound that you add 200 ml of oil when the level is just below the full line!

You should be fine but I'm always curious how people do this? I add 4 quarts of oil on a change and then start it to fill the filter and then let it drain overnight. The next day I check the level and top off. And why are you adding 200ml between oil changes? Your level will still be in the...

That's your first problem, it's a Goodyear Assurance tire. Ugh. I've never had good luck with Goodyear tires. How many miles are on your car? Just by those numbers you have more then 160k miles. At that point I would also suspect that struts may be getting worn out too. Being able to rotate tire...

A picture would be worth a 1000 words in this case!

Thanks. As I said in my post I had it tuned to be on the mild side as I want to keep reliability high. I'm running 8.6 PSI in the tune and it could easily do more he said but I'm fine with it. It pulls really hard and has good low end pull too. I'm not interested in just a peak power as many...

They are all pretty much the same. Loosen the fill bolt on the side of the transmission. The loosen the drain bolt. Put the drain bolt back on and fill until the gear oil flows out the fill hole. It takes 1.9 quarts and I recommend Redline MT-90 as it is great stuff. You must have not looked...

I took my Corolla out for a short drive in some of the nearby hills today. I got on it a little more than before and let me tell you, I was grinning from ear to ear. It's amazing how effortlessly it pulls hills now. On some steeper hills that I would hit 45 mph by a certain point before I was at...

I don't agree with most of this. You can do plenty of things to your car even if it isn't paid off. You keep making the payments and make the car more of yourself as you like. I may not do something crazy or stupid but most mods people do are perfectly fine. You drive it every day, do things to...

How many miles on it? If the struts are blown it will bounce.

Camber shouldn't change unless you have camber bolts installed. I would at least get it checked. The place I get my alignments done will check it for free. If it's within spec there is no charge. Check around as this is a common practice.

What do you want to start with? Eibach springs? TRD RSB? Wheel/tire upgrade? What do you want first? You name it and I'm sure you will get some replies.
