    Weird/moldy smell from AC 2015 Corolla

    This may help, what I do after having used the AC before I turn off the car (couple minutes before I reach home sort of thing, and if the car will be parked overnight) I turn AC off and just run the vent on a higher setting. My theory is the "normal" temp air will help clear out humidity and...

    Corolla 2015 - Trunk Lid Opens Half way

    My 2013 only opens a bit. I have the S model so it has the truck lid spoiler on it which adds weight. I only know of a few cars that will open fully with the fob. My brothers 98 Sable pops open like someone kicks it from the inside and bangs when the limiters are hit. I personally don't like the...

    Gas cap won't click

    the click is jut to let you know it is closed properly. when gas cap not closed tight it will cause a check engine light. I think the click is just stupid proof. As long as the threads aren't crossed and the cap is tight it should be fine.

    I wonder if it's possible to add Sport Mode and Paddle Shifters to LE model

    Well, If you ask the parts guys if it can be done and he say yes, then all you have to do is work on getting the parts. as time goes maybe even pulling parts from wrecked vehicles.

    I wonder if it's possible to add Sport Mode and Paddle Shifters to LE model

    Don't think it would be easy or possible. I know both transmission are CVT but they are different. I guess it could be a matter of programming them but if that is what is wanted why not just purchase the S model with the features in it already?

    Scion iM

    Test drove the manual trans IM and it was really nice. Only thing for me is no push button start available and no moonroof. Maybe not a deal breaker but I have smart key and push button start in my 2013 Rolla and I find it hard to give that up.

    slave cylinder

    Hey y'all, I have the dreaded squeaky clutch syndrome. From what I have looked up it is the slave cylinder, that is where the noise is coming from. Before I go so something stupid I want to make sure that what is "circled" is a grease port. I don;t want to go shoving grease in there and ruin...

    snow tire / rim question?

    Well, stock wheels are 16 steel with covers (at least here in Canada they are) the upgrade gets the 17 and rear disk brakes. As far as fitment it should be ok the only thing I can think of is to check rear disk clearance as the stock S vehicle has drum brakes. Now if there are no clearance...
