    Adding A Little Pep To Its Step

    Hmm....air filter upgrade (K&N or other similar)....an exhaust upgrade...unless you really want to get into major engine upgrades, that's where I'd start. No doubt others wiser than I will have opinions as well.

    Sea Foam?

    Well, if Scott ever answers his PMs, you could hit him up for some AmsOil.;) I'm not an expert, but my understanding is that synthetic oil is good because it last longer and you don't have to change it as often. I'm not sure if there are any specific advantages of synthetic vs. conventional...

    Replacing Engine

    You should probably invest in a Chilton's Manual or something similar. You can check YouTube, but I doubt you're going to get a step-by-step video tutorial on how to change out the engine for your specific car. :::::15 seconds later...

    Sea Foam?

    Yeah...good points. I'd be a little leery of putting something that does a good job of de-scaling radiators into my crankcase. :laughing: "But the Internet said it was true, so it must be."

    Sea Foam?

    I've never used it as an oil additive, just in the fuel tank, but you can do both. I wouldn't think you'd have to change the oil after 100 miles. There's lots of info about their productions on the SeaFoam website (http://seafoamsales.com/sea-foam-motor-treatment/)

    Sea Foam?

    Well, that depends on what you're using it for. It's great for taking paint off metal, removing stickers from glass, and it has been known to kill squirrels and raccoons...:laughing: Yes, SeaFoam is a great product, particularly for gas engines that you don't run very often (mowers...

    Laser Device Can Detect Alcohol In Cars: External Device Detects Presence of Alcohol

    "The authors note that the device would likely also identify cars where the driver is sober but the passengers are not, or if there is spilled alcohol in the car, but that the device 'will surely decrease the number of cars that have to be checked by police and, at the same time, will increase...

    How to Reset the Average MPG

    Yeah, and four other books that have more pages than the average college textbook I have for my master's program :laughing: Why RTFM (read the friggen' manual) when you can ask the all knowing oracle of the Internet?

    How to Reset the Average MPG

    yeah, I know....RTFM...but I'm stubborn like that, plus I figured I'd ask you smart folks here first. How do I reset the average MPG? on my '13, I just held down the trip selector switch/button/pin/thingy. No such luck with the '14. I'm sure it's simple.

    Silly Question - What is This?

    Well dang...I can't find the Purple Turtle Shell launcher button on the dash.

    Lowering Spring Different Option

    So...lowering to 1/2 off the ground results in the oil pan getting sliced off by a speed bump = voided warranty :) Otherwise, no problem?

    Owner Complaints For The 2014 Corolla
