    Which ATF for 94?

    You need Dexron and 1 Lucas transmission fluid to mix with . In my experience if you use anything with synthetic your CV shaft seals will leak because it is to thin . I have 1 Corolla with over 300,000 miles on it and only changed the filter and fluid 3 times in its life and it runs like it is...

    Engine running loud with occasional vibrations (video/audio included)

    If it is the manifold gasket or any where near the heads especially the catalytic converter then you need to get it fixed quick because that type of leak will break or burn a valve because of the temperature in that area changes from hot to cold and is not consistent . It had happen to me on a...

    Rear Nearside brake plate

    Unfortunately a lot of dealerships are not making parts for cars because they are pushing the consumers to purchase new cars . Toyota is number one in holding part numbers on ANY websites and they have shut down a few and in their Lexus division when you go to a stealership for parts on a lexus...

    Dual Exhaust?

    I wonder of they had a muffler shop put a center muffler and then bend pipes on each side . My advice would be go to a muffler shop that does custom exhaust they give out free estimates .

    Headlights

    I'm surprise you don't have day time running lights , Usually all Corollas I owned you leave your headlight switch on and when the sensor picks up darkness it turns all the lights on automatically . Does your car have a dingy noise when you leave your lights on ? I think they sell a aftermarket...

    Engine oil shortage

    The 1zz engine is known to burn oil when it reaches 100,000 or more . What I did with my corolla was I went up to 10w40 and it brought down the burning a lot . Like 1 quart a month and I ran this car today it sits on 300,000 and still running . You might have to go 20w50 . But I would look for...

    Trunk lock broken

    Sometimes you get lucky and find a key for the vehicle in the junk yard , Since it is a Toyota it is easy to take out the ignition switch with all the locks from that vehicle and replace yours or just take the trunk lock and have two different sets .

    Corolla goes into limp mode. Tis' a head-scratcher.

    Sounds like a Rev Limiter acting up , Have you checked your Injectors to see if they are dirty or not functioning correctly ?

    Only third brake like activating?

    Have you checked your sockets to all the bulbs to see if they have rust or condensation ? Bad sockets will trigger a short in all the wiring . Especially if you were getting moisture in the lens

    Best short ram for 04

    Your best bet is to get a K&N filter put it in your stock box to where the air is cooler then a open intake under the hood sucking in the hot air .

    More whp

    Best engine MOD for this car is the 2zz from the XRS . That alone will eat a lot of cars . Remember you add a turbo your gonna have to rebuild the engine if it has a lot of miles . But the numbers you are looking for in a 1zz will never happen . The most I seen a Corolla 7th gen 1.8 with turbo...
