    Oil change

    You should check out ENEOS Sustina if you can find some. The Japanese swear by it and the analysis reports on it are really good. It's pricey stuff and I ran it in my FR-S. Almost looked like water going in.

    tires and more horse power.

    More horsepower would be tuning the car, or forced induction. Cold air intake and muffler are noise only.

    I want to increase my New Corolla 1.8 HP...

    This is why we have blind spot monitors on the mirrors and backup cameras now! I'll agree, the visibility is still awful on the Camaro. I personally haven't gotten a chance to sit in a new Mustang to see how I fit. In the past, they were never tall friendly. One thing I do like about the GT...

    LED Fog Lights

    I may look at getting some 9005 LED bulbs to replace my high beams if I can get them to match the headlight LED's. It sucks they are built in to the headlight. I had an easy plug and play kit on my FR-S to go directly to HID's. Pretty painless and it came with really good projectors.

    I want to increase my New Corolla 1.8 HP...

    They look freaking sweet compared to the other two though. Only one that still holds its old roots in style. Yes, it sucks being tall. Trying cars on for size can be a heartbreaker. Corvettes are off my list forever because of this and also I'm not 50+ years old and drive it under the speed...

    LED Fog Lights

    Should be plug and play. I'm considering installing these after having a few foggy mornings here this week: http://www.amazon.com/Nokya-Hi-power-H8-H9-H11/dp/B00BFL7P7E

    Intake Install

    Learned a few tricks from my FR-S in regards to intakes and tuning. Intakes by themselves are noisemakers just like it is listed above. A lot of car manufacturers are making a lot better designed intakes (Like the FA20 intake on the BRZ\FR-S) so simply replacing the filter lets more air...

    I want to increase my New Corolla 1.8 HP...

    I've never been a motorcycle fan, unfortunately. I'm pretty tall at 6'6" and the fact that if I make one mistake, it could cost me my life or severely injure me. Cars are at least a bit safer in that aspect, but I don't drive them like a bat out of hell and traffic weave to cause an accident...

    I want to increase my New Corolla 1.8 HP...

    I use my Corolla to drive me to work, home, and errands. I have my eye on the 2016 Camaro 2SS if I want to go fast. 0-60 in 3.9 seconds??? Wtf. I won't buy a first gen though. I'd probably get a 2018-2019 one.

    TPMS 2014 Corolla

    My TPMS came on yesterday for the first time, actually. I tested all 4 tires with the Accutire gauge. Lowest one was 28 psi. The rest were at 29, 29, 29.5. Since my tires are filled with nitrogen, I just went to Costco, pulled up to the bay, and they topped off all the tires to 32 PSI...

    Can I fill my tank with Hi-Octane Only?

    If you like wasting more money, sure.

    Aesthetics of L/LE vs S model

    I didn't get the S because I didn't care for the bigger wheels, turn signals on mirrors, and can live without the dash display. I went with the Le Eco Premium because I got everything I wanted with fogs, Entune Premium, heated seats, sunroof, and maximized the gas mileage outside of going with...

    2014 S Premium Accelerating/ Braking- Stoping Whistle Noise while driving.

    That's not air intake hoses. Those are radiator hoses. The cold air gets pushed up from the air dam underneath the car and the stock intake is just a box in the engine bay. I've confirmed the whistle noise is the CVT as I hear it in a quiet parking garage when coasting lightly. Seems like...

    Dealer Emblem

    GooGone or 3M Adhesive remover helps with vinyl decals. Both products work great, but GooGone I would suggest for this one since its a badge. Try to cover up the Corolla emblem when you spray it so you don't get remover on the adhesive for that badge or it will come off or weaken the bond.

    ECU regulated

    Why are you even going 115 mph in a Corolla? That's the better question.

    2015 Corolla LE Eco Premium-Extremely Rough Ride after 3,500 miles-HELP!

    My car is nothing but quiet and rides soft. Even over bumps, this thing is like a pillow. I'm on the Michelin MXV4 tires which pretty much is the best tire you can get from the factory on this car. Sometimes steering wheel vibrations or a "knocking" sound can be due to adjusting the steering...

    MPG

    I drive about 80% highway, 20% city if I use toll roads. 70% highway, 30% city without. It is not completely flat with the driving I do. You can see the MPG fluctuate in my reports. I'm extremely happy getting 36+ MPG. This car is really incredible for the commute.

    MPG

    on the site in your preferences, there's a badge link that you copy/paste into your forum signature and it will show that. I still need to add a picture of my car to the main profile.

    2015 1.8 CVT build and destroy.....

    I like how you think I won't be modding a Camaro. You're calling me a child and you don't know what the hell you are even talking about. Do you even know how much it truly costs to mod a car with forced induction to compete with other cars? You better have some deep pockets. One of my good...

    2015 1.8 CVT build and destroy.....

    Why try when I can just buy a 2016 Camaro SS and turn circles around this car? Besides, if you're talking performance, FWD is not where it's at. Hell, my FR-S has 10 times the aftermarket this car has and it still doesn't have a transmission to handle the torque of a turbo. There's a...
