Ive been lurking these forums for a little while now, and figured with all the useful information ive seen, I should make a name for myself. Especially considering I know nothing about cars. :facepalm:
My corolla was my grandparents, then my moms, and now mine. I felt so lucky at 17 years old to have such a sound car. No accidents at all. But I am 20 now and I have to admit, I neglected it a little bit through my last years of highschool, and beginning college. All of my attention was directed to my 1992 CBR F2 once I graduated highschool
. But recently I finally came into grips with the financial position I am and will continue to be in for a while, and gave up on purchasing a newer car. Besides, this baby only has 90k miles.
I want to make the car run as factory as possible before I do anything to the looks.
What pops up as something common needing replaced after ~4 years of neglect in these cars? So far I am planning on new plugs, spark plugs, and a distributor cap. I am also pretty sure my header is leaking. It is louder than it should be in the front of my car. There is also oil coming from somewhere, I haven't checked really closely yet.
Thanks for any current or future help! BTW, kiwi if you see this, your car is a beauty. That is one key inspiration for me to keep my car.
