    Rear Disks swap on LE Premium

    Hi guys, I was wondering, since there is a rear disk option on S model with 17inch wheels, and as most of you know the rest of the herd get rear drums which isn't exactly a bad deal if you're looking to save money in the long run and durability the drum provides. Though I would imagine that a...

    Will be towing a single axle trailer with John Deere tractor in box

    I know it says not to tow but I'm going to risk it. Just like they advised not to put winter tires on front only and I've driven in snow all winter and freaking loved it, anyway..... I'm thinking the trailer is about 200lb, tractor another 200, maybe 300. I'ts about a 15 mile drive and I'll...

    Toyota Corolla One of the most expensive cars to insure!!!

    If I had known this I may have went with a different vehicle. I used to have a 4Runner which cost me around 500 bucks/6 months, both liability, collision, comprehensive and I'm not talking minimal coverage, pretty maxed out. Well, my Corolla costs almost 900 bucks/6 months, 876 to be exact for...

    Top Speed CVT

    Just curious if anyone took their 11th gen Corolla speed to the limit. I took a fishing trip (in Mexico) some 300 mi each way and was literally doing a 100 mph with very little effort most of the way there. I hear the limiter or car is capable of 115 but I felt like it had a lot more there...

    Winter Tires - Front only

    Hello guys, I just purchased 2 16inch steel rims and 2 Bridgestone Blizzak WS80 winter tires for my car which I'm going to put on the front. I'm hearing that you're not really supposed to be doing that and install on all 4 because of instability it may cause. I know few people who have been...

    Road Trip Ready - New hitch and toad

    Hey guys, I've had my hitch for a while but mostly used for bike rack etc. It's rated for 500 lb and 300 lb tongue weight. I'm 190 lb and was testing it by jumping pretty damn hard on it and it's secure as hell so I'm not worrying about any weight issues. I've installed the hitch myself and...

    Rattle in dashboard

    I was just reading something on the interwebs about people complaining about dashboard sqeeks and rattles on 11th gen corollas with 10K miles or less. Mine's got 22 and considered myself lucky until few days ago when it started getting cold in Chicago. I guess different plastics and materials...

    Rope on tires for heavy snow

    Has anyone heard of used this technique? Wrapping 10mm rope around the tires between spokes, paying special attention to avoid running it through where the valve is and using rope think enough to clear brake caliper. I have aluminum wheels so it should work fine, I'm assuming it would be a pain...

    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)

    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

    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...

    Steering wheel cover, wrap, ???

    Hello fellow Corolla owners :) I've purchased a new 2015 silver LE Premium brand new, currently 14K on it. Although the interior is awesome, I don't he the leather/heater seats package so the steering wheel is not leather wrapped, just cheap plastic. Although I like it's ergonomics, I would...

    Rear wheel well design

    I noticed that the rear wheel liners aren't really full and have some weird inserts front and a cavity for dirt to collect behind the wheel, I didn't really make anything out of it and if there is a reason for this design? Well, few days ago it snowed and I noticed that snow/ice accumulates in...
