Folks, My battery appears to have finally died (12 years, 250K+ km). I'm now in the market for a new one. I found this guy but wanted to make sure it fits the specs that I need (2003, V6). I know it needs 710 CCA but does anyone with more battery knowledge about this car than myself have any...

For personal satisfaction I decided to drain the whole pan and add ~3.5 liters of Toyota dealership-bought T-IV ATF. Guy at the Toyota counter said there's no real difference as Toyota apparently only adds some additives, but if you're doing a whole tranny fluid change, T-IV is best. If you need...

Hello Everyone, A couple of weeks ago I drained my transmission fluid from the pan and ~4 liters came out. So I went to the local AutoParts store and picked up some Pennzoil Dex ATF fluid. Guy said it's all good and it will work. So I topped it up and so far everything is running good. Now...

I average around the high 500s (km) on a full tank. I haven't seen my gas light come on in quite some time but every time I fill up I extrapolate and can see that the high 500's are expected from a full tank. In city driving averaging (according to the panel) around 12.7 L / 100 KM.

Paraordnance, where were you a couple of weeks ago? haha No I appreciate the feedback. There were too many options out there I found so I went with something a guy recommended at the tire store. So far so good but like I said it's been a relatively small sample size.

It doesn't really matter which OS you have on your phone as long as it supports bluetooth. I have tried with Android and no problem. I don't use anything like iHeartRadio so those options to me aren't important. Having done a quick search on your Scion selection, check out this post...

Decided to go with the Yokohama G056. I like that they are shiny - but still to new to truly evaluate :D

Finally Installed Well I finally installed my Kenwood DPX501BT. Overall a solid deck that's very easy to use and looks very flashy. The best part is the colors are totally customizable to match the interior which I didn't think would be a big deal but once you have it you appreciate it...

Folks, I am looking into some all-season tires for my T4R. I have a winter set but with the warm weather quickly approaching I want some all-seasons until the next snowfall. Anyone have any they'd like to recommend? Thanks.

I had a similar issue with an old car I had but was getting an intermittent P0505 error. Similar behavior though. If the car was cold it would start no problem but once the temperature of the engine got to where it should be the car would go into a rough idle and the engine would stop. What...

I've been looking for a while and can't find a clear answer to my question. What RPMs is everyone experiencing when you've come to a complete stop (in D)? I'm running at 500 and from what I understand it's not a big deal. There's no "idle searching", erratic behavior or check engine light...

I replaced my muffler and tailpipe a couple of days ago and I found that I was able to re-use the same bolts between the muffler and "car" but had to get new bolts to join the tailpipe and muffler. The guy at the auto store gave me some free what I am pretty sure are M10s to connect tailpipe to...

I bought an '03 with 230,000+ kilometers. Still running smoothly.

Wow! Thanks for all the feedback everyone, it's really appreciated. Good thing I joined the forum :) I was sold on the Sony until I found out about the Jensen touchscreen and saw the Kenwood in action Jensen : Mobile Multimedia : VX3020...

Thanks Roger. Was the install pretty easy to do? I saw a couple of videos and it doesn't look hard but was wondering if there's anything special that needs to be done that may complicate the process at all. Thanks, Alex
