1st Gen. Lunch Table - General Discussion

Damn, glad he could walk away from it. Glad he didn't take on too much damage. Did the airbag break the wrist?

 

Judging by how bent the steering column and dash is.



he never let go of the wheel.

 

Ouch. You can see where his head smacked the winshield. He's lucky. I'm glad he's ok. No seatbelt?

 

Yea he’s not making that mistake again

 

Damn, glad your dad is ok!!

 

Glad your pops is somewhat ok, looks like an intense ride! And that’s really sad you couldn’t watch it roll over to 1mil!
What year is it? My sister has one that looks similar, 5 speed manual, salsa red; she bought it for the fuel economy and it being a toyota. I think they’re from the same generation, she will poop herself when she hears how many miles you had on yours!

 

2006 corolla s. 1zz-fe with the 4 speed auto. original engine and transmission. shes been a great car to us. father bought her new in 2006 and i bought it off him in 2018. i'll buy it back and at least keep the power train and all the XRS parts i had on it. oh and all the new shit i put on it last year

If you don't have 4 minutes skip ahead to the 2:12 mark.

 

Anyone notice their transmission drain plug has DII (d2) on it? Dex 3 is still fine though am i guess. I dont think dex 2 is even a thing

 

NO WHIRLED PEAS FOR ME.

What the hell was that though? A bird?

 

Damn, that sucks. You know I got a soft spot for rollas after having my xrs for 216k miles. Go find you an 05 or 06 xrs to replace it!

 

Yes. I'm not sure what kind

 

ok peeps. whats the part number for the axle seal for the driver's front diff after doing to ECGS bushing mod???

 

Looked kinda like a Whippoorwill. It was so small I thought it was a bat at first.

Whippoorwills have a very distinctive call if you haven't heard. If you have them in your area, search 'Whippoorwill call' on YouTube. You'll probably recognize it.

 

Since my father uses it for work a manual is not an option with his bad knee and hip.

 

I gave you that part number the other day. It's in the other thread.

 

That's the dummy light for Get The Fire Extinguisher.

 

That means you dont need an LSD, you've just installed a welded diff.

I'm drooling...

 

Anyone have a solution to quiet the rear tailgate and clean third brake light cover?

 

Is your tailgate talking back to you? Slap it!

 

Dies it rattle around? You can move the latches in a bit for a tighter fit

 

+1 this worked for me.

 

I added some little rubber bump extensions on top of the existing ones. 1/8” rubber glued with Fuzeit. Works good. Now that I have the Momba Impact, maybe it can rattle those Torx Screws off and do the the hinge adjust?

One other thing that helped was greasing up the gate hinges. I really loaded the cup side hinge and that quieted things.

 

Brainstorm time. Imagine this for those of us 2000-2002 with the Daytime Running Lights. I’ve recently disconnected mine and like it because people no longer pull out in front of me like before. Its contrary, but my idea stems off the disconnected connector.

Could one possibly/theoretically wire into the disconnected DRL connector (located next to battery) for a Full Time Running Light? Something like a Colored LED Strip or Little Lights wired into a connector fitting that fits right into the existing dis-connection. Turn on the truck and these lights come on. Would this be adverse to the main lighting system?

Good idea? Or, will it go Zzztttttt!

 

Ouch
Glad to hear pops walked away without anything severe. And it figures that Corolla is still running, they refuse to die. 2 old timers still going strong

 

Why do people pull out in front of you if you have DRL?

 

I can honestly say no one has pulled out in front of me close enough to bother me, in many years.
