Upgrade to a Toyota Supra Turbo, 3 Liter engine!! !

Corollas are factory designed and engineered to go slow. That is why they are so reliable. High peformance equals high wear and tear. Why do you think stock car racers rebuild their engines after every race. With repect to your 2nd question, if you do a lot of highway driving, you will burn more oil. In any event...look for oil leaks if any.

If no oil leaks are you blowing blue smoke? Are you sure the car has only done 67K?????

no blue smoke just some black every once in awhile if i really tromp on it.. other than that no oil leaks known of since i park my car in the same location everyday.. also im very positive it only has 67k.. also i realize that my car is slow and will be but im just looking to squeeze whatever hidden power i can out of the engine even if its not built for it.. im planning on getting rid of it anyways.. lol btw thx for the input

Get some NOS!!!!!!111

Hmmmmm, if you're gonna get rid of it anyways, NOS all the way! If you might keep it as a project car, it might be worth it to turbo or super charge it. Depending on how long you want to keep it, there are a lot of moderatly cheap upgrades that'll get you a little performance out of it. Best ways to get power without forced induction are exhaust, headers, Cold Air Intake(referred to as CAI), hi-flow catalytic converter, and if you really want power, some Type R or NOS stickers! Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but those two stickers alone could give you around 50 HP

well im not looking to roach it all the way out with nos or anything major just a few things to minor improvements to the engine for now would be nice.. if u know of any place that can get me hooked up with some of the headers, exaust, oo and definatly a cold air intake!.. oo and do tell if u know for sure what the catalatic converter will do for me.. ive been looking around but cant find a air intake that goes with my system.. plz help me out if u can and all the others im looking for stuff like that.. not nos or anything too major.. i still need to keep it for a few more years haha
