Obviously I know i have to bring it in at some point, it happens when i go over 65 I am jus so busy with work- work 2 jobs and can’t afford this right now

Ive showed a bunch of people they said they have never heard of anything like it

I think its my steering wheel it feels like it’s shaking

Hey so I'm the owner of this clean AF mint condition bone stock E11 sedan. It currently has the 1.3 4E-FE In it with 72.5k original kilometres. (For our fellows in America it means it's too little. almost brand new considering it's a 27 year old car) And I was wondering if modifying the original engine was worth it or getting a different engine such as the 4E-FTE which was pretty much the same engine and found in the Starlet Glanza V with a turbo and stronger internals from the factory. bolt on and reliable upgrade. I'll just need to also find the ECU intercooler and fuel pump which could be tough. But id also like some suggestions on what to do. Impersonal believe that going for the 4E-FTE is the safest and most budget friendly option in the long run for actual performance. the car is currently making 85hp on the wheels and with the Engine from the glanza it will jump to 135hp. may not sound like much but it's very noticeable since it's kinda light. I would also like some handling improvement suggestions. since it doesn't handle so well. (boat effect and front feels floaty)

2016 S. I have an appointment Friday morning with body shop, but could I drive it to and from work for 2 days (20 minutes each way)? It runs fine, but is there a safety issue?

The rubber trim on my 08 Matrix is showing its age. And having the paint color Super White II is not helping. She’s def getting up there in age. But still super reliable.

Has anyone had luck with just using solution finish or VRP in cases like this? Or is this going to be a multi step product/process?

I know a bit about detailing. I wash and wax my own cars year round. Never use automatic washes. But stuff like this I’m lost on.

TIA!

I have 2025 Corolla hybrid and my passenger side mirror got busted, blindspot is still working but the plastic around the mirror and cap is broken.

I visited a dealership and they said, I have to replace the whole mirror and quoted $450 ($325 for mirror assembly and $125 for painted cap). I tried to find it with nearby scrap yards (I am based in Halifax) but no luck. Looked for aftermarket option and that is way cheaper ($150 for assembly and $105 for painted cap).

Does it matter if i go with aftermarket parts instead of OEM since its just mirror?

I found the aftermarket part at huntparts.ca, please advise if any cheaper or better options are available.

Hey guys, I'm considering buying this Corolla 2020 (2ZR engine). It was involved in a front-end accident and the cooling system was repaired using a mix of water and green coolant.

​I found this wet spot at the bottom of the engine. There's also some moisture near the throttle body clamps. Could this be the coolant/water mix dripping all the way down, or should I be worried about an oil leak? VIN: JTDEPRAE6LJ107682. Attached are the pictures. Thanks in advance!

I parked tonight and I've heard this noise about 10 times. Usually every 20 seconds. Any idea what it is cuz I've never heard it before.
