2005 corolla XRS

glad to hear my lousy channel was good for something. cheers

@@johncrawford6799 have you replaced all the spark plugs?

ah dang sorry to hear that man. I get on it quite a bit and it never has given me any problems...a couple grinds over the years if I get lazy and do not have the clutch in all the way when shifting.

haha love this question. the first year we were dating my wife didn't understand why i was always looking even when i was happy with my vehicle. you hit it on the head though - with the used car market you can't control when an opportunity is going to present itself especially with the enthusiast cars. my wife appreciates it now as I've bought a few vehicles that have really worked out for us. after all, you could be doing a LOT worse things then scanning classifieds for cars.

@@ZachD now I feel better because she didn't get it then or now. I don't search ads much with her around now. She benefited with every vehicle but I made it look easy I guess. I got the 2 i always wanted and 1 I stumbled on so unless I can find that 6 speed Cadillac I guess i'm done for now. Glad someone's significant other gets it 😂

@@dentpulla for sure man - every relationship is different. I wouldn't say my wife gets it but she accepts that it will always be an interest of mine ha. Ultimately cars are dumb - all they have to do is get us from A to B and I hate that I love slamming gears and bouncing off the limiter but it is what it is. Good luck on the cadillac search I've always been intrigued by the cadillac CTS with the 6 speed tremec gearbox even if its not the V model. Slept on car for sure. cheers

its left as you would expect...that puppy was on there good - wear gloves and a use a rag I remember gashing my wrist bad when I broke it loose.

@@ZachD so towards the driver tire?

@@ZachDthats what just happened today to my brother in law helping me with the fuel rail pressure regulator. we are having hard time aligning it to the rail with the stubborn bracket for the regulator

I would just give it the upward whip a bit while walking it around to keep it light on the new seed. I tried to move the hoses every other day, even if I didn't move the sprinklers, to not kill the grass underneath.

Honda bond is a silicone sealer and has the same temp properties as ultra black. If I had hondabond I would have used it but for a little added seal on the gasket shoulders this is just fine.

Well anything was going to be a large improvement over Honda’s part. Construction seems good, fits well, and the three o-rings are intact. It’s not a structural part so I didn’t see the value in spending $40 for billet vs cast. It’s been leak free so far so I’ll keep an eye on it.

After 4 great years I’ll be posting it for sale within the next couple weeks in the Rochester NY Craigslist / FB marketplace. I just bought my first new vehicle so if you’re legitimately interested stay tuned.

I’m wondering the same thing, you figure it out?

Not yet. I’ll ask around lmk if you figure lol

I think they mostly got pulled from slamazon but just looked and seems you can grab them off walmart's site. might have to search by pitch - m18x1.5 I believe. good luck

@@ZachD thanks a bunch

Nice congrats man. Unfortunately it looks like the first year of work on it might not be super exciting. Small oil leak so new oil pan gasket, possibly a small fuel leak so may need a new filler neck, fresh pads and fluids all over. Long term it’ll be pretty chill - maybe some silver RPF1s with meaty tires to hook up in corners with the open diff. I also like the idea of bronze wheels but will probably chicken out and do silver ha. Looks like a full exhaust can be done pretty cheap so maybe that too. We’ll see. What do you have planned for yours?

Awesome. Yeah - I’m late to the game but better late than never. Pumped for some tasteful, light mods and stacking miles on this thing. Cheers

Thanks man

thanks boss. yeah I'm definitely enjoying it thus far. I definitely have to do something in the realm of antitheft so good call with the kill switch. looking like I may need to do an oil pan gasket as well - any recommendation for which gasket to use?

​@@ZachDfelpro with the steel core in the middle. That or oem. The felpro works great though. Dont get the one without the metal they suck. Shouldnt need to use rtv on the felpro as well.

​@@ZachDalso look up jdi industries, they have a plug and play main relay conversion and an optional kill switch that cuts off the fuel pump relay.

@@PalatialHD - Exactly what I was going to suggest. The OEM gasket is great, but it can be tricky to keep it in place during installation. The Fel Pro solves this issue.

Moroso oil pan, muffler delete, and wheels/tires. Not much at all. Moroso was definitely expensive and probably overkill.

Konig control.

Thanks

Awesome - magnaflow should sound amazing. I think mine sounds decent with the ebay cheap-o so I can't imagine how good a well engineered unit will sound. We're in a similar boat...I'm bummed I didn't even make it to an autoX event this year. We'll get 'em in the Spring.

@@ZachD Absolutely! I want to finish some of the cosmetic touches over the winter anyways haha. But yeah your exhaust sounds great...I almost pulled the trigger on your exhaust actually. It sounds great and you can hear the perfect blend of the engine and exhaust in your video 👌

Thanks boss. Yeah the XRS is not very quick but fun factor is really high. Shoot me a message if you end up selling yours ha

@@ZachD Indeed. It is. So far, have no plans so far for selling it. I have lots of mods like flywheel, clutch, ARP bolts, Koni yellow adjustable dampers, Megan race springs, Enkei 17 x 7.5 wheels etc. and made it an auto cross type of car like you. Cheers!

They’re for handling/ chassis stiffness, but I would think they would be helpful in a collision for sure.

Hey thanks man. Bummer on the EP3 and good luck with the XRS search!

@@ZachD Thanks man. Search is over...found a low mileage unmolested Corolla XRS in silver with 136k Kilometres ( 82,000 miles) in Silver....drove it home no one even batted an eye at my ride....so under the radar 🤣

@@ericlindsey1708 dang that’s so awesome. I’m pumped for you! Sounds like you found an absolute gem. Unreal it has that low of mileage. Great work

@@ZachD Yeah hard to believe the condition. I think soon enough I'll post an intro on RUclips maybe...although I may not do too much with it until after winter lol. What's crazy is that there's a black '05 XRS on the market here in Vancouver BC still that only has 88,000km...which is stupid low! Asking 14,000 CAD though.

@@ericlindsey1708 dang - would love a black one but that’s too steep. I subbed so I look forward to following your stuff. I’ll have a driving vid posted within a week. It’s done I just have to upload. For your car I’d recommend the moroso pan or the modified 1zz pan. I have the moroso but it’s probably overkill. Your silver one might look real good on some black wheels…

no drone with the plug in. pretty pronounced with the plug out

No problem. I think that will look real solid.

Did you ever get them for the meteorite gray civic?? I’m looking to do the exact same thing for my meteorite gray civic, 2023 sport touring hatch. I wanted to get 16 or 17s to get a better ride quality and better road noise. Really curious to see if someone has done it successfully

I would think so. I don't have any electrical knowledge so I avoid wherever possible. good luck.
