    I am a bit on the fence. I have a 4runner but always wanted a performance awd and I loved my 14 corolla S while I had it.

    • @Feral80sKid
      @Feral80sKid  Před 26 dny

      Both of those are great, reliable vehicles, I also had a 2014 S, my gal had a 2017 4 Runner. The GR is absolutely fantastic, but they do ride a bit rough, did smooth out quite a bit once I put about 1k miles on, otherwise phenomenal.

    I agree the stock exhaust sounds good, in fact, mine at nearing 6000 miles It's gotten a little bit louder.
    I'll have to put a video together of all the mods I've done so far. It's quite a list but they're all aesthetic visual mods which shouldn't mess with the warranty.
    I think a downpipe and a tune with better valve springs would be the way to go.
    Instead of lowering the car I was looking into body kits, a front lip side skirts and a rear diffuser.
    Only certain parts of the dashboard settings retain, tire pressure monitors is one that doesn't stay.

    I have a white 2019 STI in mint condition w/ low miles that I'm considering trading in for a GR. I've never had a Toyota - always a Subaru guy. I just need to find a GR to test drive before I can make a decision.

      Good friend of mine has a 2012 STi, feels well built and a blast to drive, if you like the STi you'll love the GR 100%, I'd go for the Circuit or premium unless you don't mind cloth interior, if I could go back I'd have got the Circuit.

    The spoiler looks amazing!!! Super nice car! Them Cars last forever and i mean it. My cousin has a 2006 Corolla S... something like that. Its all factory. Her Dad/my Uncle got it brand new and she ended up getting it around 2011/2012. Her and i rented a place together and i didn't have a driver's license. So, she pretty much got me back and forth to work and such. So, one day i asked her how many miles was on it and she looked and the mileage said 299,999! So, a few weeks later we looked again and it was still at 299,999!!! Lol😂 It quit turning over along time ago...obviously. I asked her because i knew she drove all over the place taking her boyfriend at the time back and forth from Florida to Mississippi and also my uncle drove it all over the place because he was a sales rep for Pepsi and they live far out in the boonies. Anyways, she is married now with 4 kids and has a new 35th anniversary dodge caravan. Realy nice van. But, her husband drives that Corolla back and 4th to work just to save on gas. And they finally did have to replace the motor about 2years ago. But, who knows how many miles that car truly had before replacing the motor. And she said the only thing that she had to ever do to it was replace the alternator.

    I’ll be keeping supersonic red circuit edition stock for a little while, other than changing out the wheels in the spring time but I’m hearing that you have to change to longer studs if you were swapping out rims… Does anyone know if that’s true for all rims or just specific brands? 🇨🇦

    • @Feral80sKid
      @Feral80sKid  Před 5 měsíci +1

      I do know that people do swap out the front studs often because they are pretty short, a red circuit huh, awesome, that's a beautiful color on the GR. People say any aftermarket wheels with a conical lug seat to definitely run longer studs.
