Can confirm it's pretty much the entire market.

Two-three months back I did a few sale quotes on my 2017 86. They were all just over $20k. I did some again today and they're hovering around what I...

The code should still be stored after the CEL is out, run to the local parts store that does code reads (autozone) and see if they can find any if you don't have a reader yourself.

Maybe I missed where you mentioned doing more precise checks, but I think that's a lot of faith in a visual with the amount of other damage that's going on. Those valves should be checked by a...

IDK who it was but someone compared our cars' noises to tractors running and it's the most accurate statement I've heard yet. It's more concerning when the noise stops now.

You'll still see the reduced throttle response. There's an argument to be made that the water cooling intake length counteracts that, but there's no replacing your exhaust's time to expand as it...

This is exactly what I'm referencing. It doesn't look like the FA24 is going to enjoy being up towards the 7K range, but it definitely resolved the torque issues. I like revving it out so the torque...

That's what I'm saying with the 2ZZ comparison. It was as much a clean sheet engine compared to the 3S series as the FA is to the old EJ blocks. Toyota is still using D4-S in their newer engines,...

To me this feels like another Corolla XRS 9th gen -> Corolla XRS 10th gen jump in the making. The 2ZZ-GE was exciting and the smaller, nimbler platform was fun. The next gen wasn't bad, but it was...
