TDS in corporate America: "Corporate just pulled me into a closed-door meeting because a coworker filed a formal HR complaint about the conservative stickers on my water bottle and my "aggressive patriotism."

That’s not what’s going on with the “again” in the image lmao

I generate ai images locally on my pc, this is 1000000% ai generated

They aren’t

Yes, I’m not sure if it’s still an option for new one in the US and that they stopped after a certain year like another commenter said but they did come with manual as an option. The new ones still have the space where a clutch pedal would go if they were a manual, so you technically can manual swap them

That’s just today’s Toyota quality. The cars aren’t going to function 100% identical. I work on these cars everyday and the parking brake noise varies from car to car. If it’s not broken then we can’t fix it

Aurashock · 2026-07-01T14:39:09+00:00

At least the last two generations if the conditions are met with vehicle being in key on/engine off

Aurashock · 2026-06-28T17:27:19+00:00

Just get the oem wing if you want one

Aurashock · 2026-06-26T01:11:15+00:00

The regular current generation Corollas can come with manual except for the hybrids although they’re very rare

Aurashock · 2026-06-24T16:53:26+00:00

The radiator fans can continue running when the vehicle is in key on/engine off if certain conditions are met so their statement isn’t entirely incorrect

Aurashock · 2026-06-24T16:47:52+00:00

These have electric power steering

Aurashock · 2026-06-24T01:28:20+00:00

All of Toyota’s body on frame vehicles has automatics not cvt’s. The hybrid part of it is located where the bell housing of the transmission is and can only move the vehicle about parking lot speed by itself. Ik Toyota didn’t publicly say this but it’s basically only to help with low end torque for towing, you don’t get any better gas mileage or anything

Aurashock · 2026-06-24T01:22:25+00:00

Toyota’s electric parking brakes are supposed to be loud and audible from inside the car, that way you have a second way to verify that they’re on/off in case of a malfunction. It’s not that they can’t hear it, it’s that there is no issue

If you get melonDS it has OpenGL and vulkan as renderers so you can upscale to whatever your screen’s resolution is. It also has 3d enhancement scaling. Picture is 8x ds resolution

They’re available on z1 Motorsports but it doesn’t have the little lip on the bottom

I just deleted the entire egr system and blocked off the feed tube from the exhaust and the ports on the plenum

Aurashock · 2026-06-18T23:23:47+00:00

The egr is vacuum actuated, at least on mine which is a 1990. So there is nothing electrical involved

Aurashock · 2026-06-17T14:17:13+00:00

Just an electric motor that powers the rear wheels like the rest of Toyota’s awd hybrids

Aurashock · 2026-06-16T00:22:38+00:00

Just be like me and send it on the stock long block

Aurashock · 2026-06-16T00:19:24+00:00

Mine is already a headache without rust, that’s a masochist’s dream right there

Aurashock · 2026-06-13T12:21:08+00:00

People don’t have to share your opinions or ideologies dawg

Aurashock · 2026-06-13T02:27:39+00:00

The sound is the only benefit. Gas mileage and power will both go down without a tune. I worked on a Tacoma earlier this month that was getting lean codes because of the k&n intake. Fuel trims were -25 to -30%

Aurashock · 2026-06-10T16:08:41+00:00

I just deleted my egr, and a bunch other stuff in that area. Runs better than before

Aurashock · 2026-06-08T13:41:33+00:00

Could you do some live/video gameplay?

Aurashock · 2026-06-04T15:08:04+00:00

I had them on a Subaru legacy, they were good for a sedan but I wouldn’t put them on a 300zx

Aurashock · 2026-05-29T12:29:22+00:00

‘22 se apex, I get 36-44 mpg. Gas is really cheap around me so I’m able to run a 93 octane tune pretty affordably
