    What are the OEM tires? 2014 Toyota Corolla

    My 2015 LE Premium came with Michelins, sorry don't know the model but most likely same as ToyBoy's. Got the 16 inch alloy wheels, anyway summer, rain they're fine. They are terrible in the snow (Chicago). I've talked to a few people and seems like Michelin uses a hard compound and even though...

    Opening the AirBox under the filter?

    Thank you. I actually went ahead and ordered it off Amazon that very same day and just received a text it's been delivered. I'm looking forward to installing it tonight. One question though, does it come pre-oiled and good to go or do you have to prep it prior to installation? Thx.

    2017 Toyota Corolla or 2017 Mazda 3???

    Depends, softer roomier vs. sportier smaller interior. Corolla will most likely retain better resale value and be a more reliable vehicle. Also, it is a bit cheaper even though it's equipped with more standard features than comparable Mazda. Mazda is a nice looking vehicle. Can't go wrong...

    Opening the AirBox under the filter?

    Hi Raza, Good to know that a drop in filter does the job, would you be able to provide a link of the exact model you purchased? As far as the warranty, you're right it would probably void it, water on the other hand, this filter is so far back I don't see a risk of flooding the engine via air...

    Opening the AirBox under the filter?

    I've heard that rather than buying the whole K&N filter assembly, you can simply drill a larger hole under the air filter itself or cut out portion of the air box assembly so the engine can pull more air compared to the tiny hose/hole it currently has. Sure you can even install a K&N or any...

    Rear Drum brake adjustment (2015 LE Premium)

    That sounds painless, good to know that this is all you need to do. I just tried my hand brake yesterday just to play around with it and it grabs pretty damn well. I forgot to mention that my previous vehicle was a 2000 4runner Limited loaded, owned that vehicle for 15 years and traded it in...

    Rear Drum brake adjustment (2015 LE Premium)

    I'm asking this as a preventative maintenance, also just passed 20k miles on my 2015 LE Premium and I know dealers like to recommend rear drum brake adjustment. Is anyone familiar if this is necessary if brake feel feels good, it grabs nice and high like it should. Let's say that degrades in...

    Who prefers LE front over S

    If they do warp, it's never happened to me, unfortunately I've warped several rotors.

    Who prefers LE front over S

    You dont need disks on such a light vehicle in rear. Drums last longer and don't warp. Also Tacoma uses it on their 2106-17 Tacoma since it shields the break system from debris when off-roading. Same thing with salt and other crap on our corollas. Another benefit is you only replace the drum...

    Who prefers LE front over S

    not sure about it looking aggressive, it just looks weird. LE bumper on the other hand gives it a nicer stance for sure.

    Who prefers LE front over S

    I'm not saying the S front bumper design is ugly, but I chose LE Premium with the nice bumper and fog lights over S because I think it looks more sporty and mean and just added a spoiler. Not sure what Toyota was thinking but that LE bumper is freaking awesome, has this widening effect...

    Black spoiler on silver LE Premium with emblems removed and 5%tint

    Hey guys, I just installed an ebay spoiler with betalink adhesive. One thing I effed up was not wearing gloves, betalink gets messy as hell but it grabbed it well. I left it clamped up on both ends and duck taped in the middle over night in around 50-60 degree Chicago weather and this thing...

    Taking off Corolla Lettering?

    Don't even need to heat it up, basically take some fishing line and file away back and forth in the direction away from the car, steady but don't pull too hard. That glue is very soft and comes right off, both the LE and Corolla emblems.
