Re: Better horn? (vit)

My vote is for a set of JDM Toyota Premium Horns. Search eBay. The listings on eBay are a little pricey, especially with shipping. But these have wiring connectors / harnesses that connect to the existing horn wiring and there is no need for any new relays or wiring.My father-in-law, who lives in Ja...

I Hate my '10 1.8 Base Steel Wheels

Snow seems to work it's way so easily into these wheels and stays there. After almost every snowfall, the next day, I will have hardened snow stuck in the inside diameter of the wheels. It causes severe imbalance. Man can that car shake.I've never experienced a problem like this with any of the othe...
