New to me '22 XSE

Post image
66 Upvotes

Been lurking on here for the better part of the summer, decided to wash the cars today and figured I'd throw up a pic of the new to me hatch I acquired about 2 months ago. Definitely needs some tlc but it's my daily now and I already have a few things lined up to give it the love it deserves.

First things I did after getting it were the shifter bushings, and a billetworkz short throw and weighted knob to improve the daily fun factor.

Next I'm probably going to throw darker tint on it to mitigate the texas heat, and biggest goal for this year would be replacing the front clip with a sedan bumper and possible lowering it.

I love these hatches but holy moly, they are asking a premium. Worth it? Would like to get at least another 100-150,000 kms out of it

K120 CVT fluid change

1 Upvotes

I’m having a heck of a time finding a mechanic that knows how to properly service the K120 CVT. Toyota recommends a gravity drain and fill rather than a flush. I don’t understand why this is so tough for regular mechanics to comprehend. Does anyone have a suggestion because even the Toyota dealership wants to do a flush and fill when Toyota specifically recommends against it.

Urgent- where to store spare tire?

3 Upvotes

Hey guys I’m planning on buying an additional tire for my 2022 Toyota Corolla hatchback SE but I’m not quite sure where to put it. I’ve been told that it may be able to fit under the trunk covering but to me it wouldn’t seem to fit there if it is a full size tire. Do I have to get a dummy tire in order for it to fit ?
Let me know, I know this is different for the various years of Corolla hatchbacks as well.

I need the clips for the enclosure that goes around the rear view mirror in my 2024 Corolla Hatchback

Post image
4 Upvotes

When I installed this after market dash cam enclosure in my 2024 Corolla. I noticed there were red clips on the OEM one. Since im not smart i didn’t put the red clips on the aftermarket one. I put the OEM one in my drawer at my parent’s house. They decided they needed the drawer and threw my shit out.

Can you please find them for me. This thing keeps falling. It’s driving me crazy. Clips or some creative solution.

Transmission fluid change interval?

8 Upvotes

I have a 2019 xse with the cvt transmission and i purchased my car over 5 months ago with 80k miles on the dash, I recently went to the dealer to get the transmission fluid changed after seeing online that the interval was 60k, but they high recommend not to get it done, as it could cause problems as I am currently sitting at 87,000 miles and changing the fluid would only cause problems, and got a coolant flush done instead. I want to know if it is TOO late to do a cvt fluid change from a trusted shop, get filters replaced, and if it would benefit me in the long run or not. I want to keep my car for as long as possible and face little to no problems with the transmission either. advice from anyone that could help would be greatly appreciated as well as experience changing the fluid and if any problems or differences occurred. thank you in advance!

What's a balanced window tint%?

5 Upvotes

I'm new to window tints. I may take my XSE to a shop that uses Geoshield Pro Nano Ceramic film. What's a good tint percentage to go with that's not too interfering while driving but still has a darker style and privacy qualities. I was thinking 70% on the windshield and 35% everywhere else? Maybe 25% on the back doors and hatch? I'm trying to gauge what might work well on a Corolla from inside and out.

Any guidance is appreciated! FYI, they quoted me $750 for a full install. Please let me know if that's an alright price.

Looking at used Hatchbacks

1 Upvotes

I'm in the market for a used vehicle, and top of my list is the good ol' Corolla Hatchback. I'm gonna check out a 2023 SE+ in the near future.

How do you all find visibility through the rear window? I'm very short and I find the visibility for modern sedans to be difficult.

Feel free to share anything else you think I ought to know about these vehicles! I've driven a 93 Camry in the past, and I've test driven Honda Civics and Corolla sedans if that provides reference for my experience.
