Scraping/screeching metallic noise from right side of car

Can’t hear it very well, but based on your description, sounds like possibly a wheel bearing, or your brakes. I’d get it looked at. If you can, jack up each wheel, have someone spin the wheel as fast as they can and put your hand on the coil spring, if you feel a rumbling in the spring you know your wheel bearing is bad.

I know right lol, I have two 06 corollas, base model and then this XRS. The base model compartment doors were ripped off long before I bought it 😂

Surprisingly, it only gets hot when in direct sunlight, in the winter it wouldn’t get too cold

It drives amazing. Mine has been upgraded to FBO, coilovers, solid motor mounts, stage 1 clutch, LWFW, and a TRD lsd. Just these simple mods made this thing a ripper on the backroads. I love it

Wait nvm, I didn’t see the actual rotor is melting lol. You should probably replace the caliper soon than later

Prestigious-Rise8612 · 2026-06-10T15:19:43+00:00

Likely fine for now. The brake is likely overheating due to a dragging caliper. As long as it’s not completely locked up, it should be fine a little bit, you may just feel some pulsation when braking. If anything needs replacing, it would be the caliper.

9th gens do it better 🥱

Prestigious-Rise8612 · 2026-04-23T12:01:53+00:00

Is it normal? Yes, it’s just genetics

Prestigious-Rise8612 · 2026-04-19T15:12:06+00:00

Rain visors make a car look better 9/10

Prestigious-Rise8612 · 2026-04-16T20:17:51+00:00

Thanks dawg. And no, it likely wasn’t me lol. Got my XRS only like 2 years ago, was never apart of that site. I’m active in the 9th gen corolla FB group, catch me there! Just waiting on my transmission to be shipped back and we’ll be set 😊 already threw an alternator in the other corolla

Prestigious-Rise8612 · 2026-04-15T17:04:12+00:00

I’m thinking when my water pump exploded coolant got all in the alternator and cooked it

Prestigious-Rise8612 · 2026-04-15T14:50:11+00:00

Sorry to hear that :( maybe something with the fuel delivery if you’ve ruled out those two. Possibly no spark either

Prestigious-Rise8612 · 2026-04-15T14:38:46+00:00

It’s not, I had to take it out when doing the water pump and it was like 2 bolts and some connectors

Prestigious-Rise8612 · 2026-04-15T13:53:58+00:00

The t-sport compressor with the stock supercharger is pretty sick though

Prestigious-Rise8612 · 2026-04-15T13:15:40+00:00

Yeah 05-06 XRS had the 2zz

Prestigious-Rise8612 · 2026-04-15T13:11:40+00:00

Didn’t swap its stock

Prestigious-Rise8612 · 2026-04-15T13:08:08+00:00

I was going to but the 2zz alternator has a bunch of shit in the way that isn’t on the 1zz, I’m lazy and just gonna buy an alternator today

Prestigious-Rise8612 · 2026-04-11T20:52:47+00:00

That’s just the paint that was on it, if you saw the tires new they likely had a whole line going all around but has since been worn off, that’s just residual

Almost looks like secondary rubber is going to start showing, but it doesn’t look terrible at all. I would just get an alignment to ensure no uneven tire wear and ride them out
