Former ‘Rollie XRS owner here. It is definitely an engine with character and I miss it to this day. The Corolla’s application of the 2ZZ-GE was it’s most anemic, and yet running it up to the 8200 redline never failed to feel awesome, even though you were still going pretty slow. Slow car fast, and all that jazz, I…

I think I know the answer, but I have two prior gen Apple TVs, are owners completely out of luck as far as major updates/additional functions?

I can’t see the video at work, but NO factory vehicle (that I’ve ever driven) allows you to keep the fog lights on with the high beams. It’s a legal thing (I forget what the law is exactly, but it basically doesn’t allow that combination to be a thing.)

I had to override the wiring on my old Outback to allow me to keep…

I drive a 2010 Tacoma and can verify what the driver said is true. I actually messed with the wiring a bit to allow me to use the high beams with the fog lights otherwise they go off as soon as you flip them on.

Access. If you flat on a trail, a rock or outcropping or just the depth of the wheel ruts can make it very difficult to get the spare out from underneath.

But none of them came back. Probably god killed by bunyips.

The comments are great evidence to how US-centric americans are. It’s interesting because, at least from my Croatian perspective, I follow car culture in both Europe and the US - Europe because it’s my immediate environment, and the US because almost all media which I follow are from over there. So most of the stuff I…

Take that engine and transmission, stick it in the Note and add the NISMO kit. I MIGHT be okay with this.

This is NOT the Sentra Nismo that will be coming out. Think of this as the Nissan equivalant of the Civic Turbo. Not quite an SI.

Wrong. Soldered joints are brittle and degrade in environments with lots of vibrations.

I’ll second that. Most of my electrical work is boat-related, but I do some car stuff too, and I’ve never had a problem with quality crimps and the liberal application of electrical tape. It’s also nice because it’s easy to undo and redo as necessary, especially with fragile components like bait tank pumps (which need…

I don’t think soldering is the right way to do things in automotive modifications and repair. I make wiring repairs to vehicles every day and modify my own cars and my friends stuff outside of work and I literally have never soldered any connections on a car. I only use quality (not the plastic covered autozone ones)…

Eventhough you’ve said you were nowhere near the trailer’s weight capacity...you probably were over it, and you were probably exceeding the maximum speed for the tires (those things are usually like 55mph).... plus you were exceeding the maximum load on the hitch and of the car’s towing capacity.

“Rey’s speeder is among the new vehicles introduced in the movie. “J.J. was very particular about the design; we had to find a mechanized way to make it go across the desert,” says Corbould. “We built a bespoke steel chassis, with a high-powered motorbike engine in it and a hidden driver.” To complete the shots, they…

Being upset about an R34 sedan being abandoned is like being upset that a 2003 G35 was abandoned.

2012 is the last year of anything good from Land Rover:

Big Land Rover guy here. The brand died in 2012.

You copied this from AutoBlog including the dumb comment about it maybe getting a 2.0l 4cyl engine.

I’m a Land Rover guy and you’re spot on. It’s awful

I’ve said it before, and I’m saying it now; You can take any car off-road...its how many times you can do it that’s the issue.
