    Engine Accent Project

    Currently on a tight budget, so my customization projects must start small. Saw someone with a white Corolla paint their engine cover and a few other trim pieces to match the body. It looked good, and it wasn't something that would make my car stand out too much; I want to wait till I can afford...

    What is this color called?

    Here's my 2015 S. Which color is this. I am going to paint some accent parts under the hood, and umm, trying to decide which color they are to be: Should I copy the body color, the copper interior trim color, the bright red S. Badge, or go with something cool like Forest Green. I am quite...

    2015 Corolla S rear brake conversion

    Edit: looks like you can do everything with OEM parts, and keep the same hubs, brake lines, etc. much easier than anticipated :) http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/324-corolla-10th-gen-2nd-gen-matrix-suspension-brakes-wheel-forum/390125-diy-10th-gen-corolla-s-rear-disc-brake-swap.html it would...

    2015 Corolla S rear brake conversion

    Honestly there's not a lot of good information about this process on the 11th generation. But, as stated by Mr. SuperchargedMR2, the 10th and 11th generations' brakes and suspension are the same, so, I checked out a 10th gen forum and found a grip of very good technical information. I have about...

    Spirited driving with the CVT?!

    Took the 'rolla up into the mountains yesterday and put her into sport mode. I spent a lot of time in the top of 2nd and 3rd gear. I had all the windows down and was listening, mostly to the car in front of me, but also to the CVT; a definite whine was constant in the higher RPM's, like...

    2015 Corolla S rear brake conversion

    Thanks, I have bookmarked it for a later date when I am ready. There's something about tearing parts off a 10th gen and swapping them into my car that appeals to me :D

    What type of gas are y'all putting in the tank?

    I don't disagree with your information; that the 2ZR-FE is rated for 87 octane, and is built in such a way that it will live a long and prosperous running off said fuel. I disagree with your asshole approach and lack of tack in the issue. It seemed to me you were quicker to find someone to...

    What type of gas are y'all putting in the tank?

    there are people who know a bit more about cars then what they see on tv, and people who like to share information, rather than worthlessly criticize someones techniques and processes. dont have anything to contribute then you are worthless talking shit like a highschooler. and you're wrong to...

    Wish I wouldn't have seen this; want it too bad now, with all the idatalink thingys and navagation, and really you're only losing the settings for DRL'S, lock duration/settings, and beep volume. :drool:

    2015 Corolla S rear brake conversion

    Hello One of my first projects will be converting my rear drum brakes to disc brakes. I can't have real wheels until I get rid of the ol' drums in the back. Has anybody thought about, tried, or completed this conversion? Does anybody know the specifics about which years/models have rear disc...

    Why not figure out how to mount the USB inputs though the blanks, you could use some pretty basic male-to-female USB cords? Probably save you a grip of money and your DIY points would experience a level-up.

    Engine swap options for the E-170 2ZR-FE?

    This is true, and pretty much why I'll keep it for a long time; its a neat platform, just it would be cool to make it unique, while adding a crap load of power. I've always been fond of naturally aspirated tunes, especially in small cars. I could be satisfied with a thorough tune of the...
