I got 37.5 this week, with a 1988 with 145,000 miles on it.

i'm guessing that's on highway miles? i'm sure i could get that much..... but if i'm driving any distance i get bored and start passing people in 3rd gear......(which redline is at 88mph and i reach that a lot).... so i usually average aboput 32-33 on a longer drive

Yes, that is mostly freeway miles. I drive 25 miles to and from work.

I can't really tell you now because my tank is leaking gas! So I'll make sure I know when it's fixed..

It used to be from 500-600km for a full tank before..

ToyotaSpeed90,

I wanted to ask you if the clear signals you have on your car are original Toyota, or are they custom made or something!

I've been trying to get my hands on Clear signals but I haven't had the chance...

you can score clear signals from 1991 and up corollas and camry's

Hey Andrew,

where were you when I was asking everyone for the clear lights and where they get them from!!

Now how can I find a 1991 Corolla clear lights? They don't have a single one in any of the scrap yards!!

I wonder if anyone is willing to swap his clear signlas for my almost new orange ones!!

i'm going junk yard shopping :grin:

Try going to a junk yard here! It's like a feeding frenzy, whenever I go it's always busy or raining or something..

Whenever one of my friends go they always say it was a nice day and they got alot of parts!!!

I might visit Standard sometime next week..

Hmm, My owners manual says 3rd tops out at 80. You must really rap on that poor thing.

Ok, yeah, i have problems with finding parts at junkyards also..... i've gone on a nice day but only found my clears (on a camry).... you can get them on both older corolla's, camry's, and prizm's...... i've been looking around for GTS sideskirts and have had NO luck finding any.... i even did the online junkyard search and that brought nothing up..... i've also gone to toyota to try to get some, and they said they are unable to get ahold of any..... so, i just have to wait for someone to wreck a GTS.... (well, i found one GTS, but 1/2 of the passenger side sideskirt had been ripped in to 2...so that wasn't any help)....

and yes, doing 88mph in 3rd is taking it high.... redline is at 6300 as everyone knows, but the governor doesn't actually kick in until 6350 or so.... and i'm doing 88mph at 6300....and i've done 110mph in 4th
