Your 2001 Corolla has a Timing Chain and in theory it should not need replacement.

As for your question about the definition of 05 Corolla XRS, It is a performance driven Toyota Corolla with Celica GT-S Toyota/Yamaha 2ZZ GE engine and 6 speed transmission and an 8400 rpm rev limit, sport tuned suspension, all wheel disk brakes, Michellin performance tires, larger 16 inch alloys and a whole bunch of other toys such as chrome and leather work interior and electronic black on red optitron guages etc.

Yeah , it is a very sweet car. Quite entertaining too, It sounds like a sport bike/F1 racing car at high revs.

it has a chain that is self adjusting and doesnt need to be replace until it gets noisy
