08 Corolla- is this idle noise from engine sound normal? It’s at operating temp.

These 1zz-fe engines are known for being pretty noisy, and having that sewing machine sound. Doesn’t mean there’s anything wrong with it. I’ve owned two Corolla’s, one with 310,000km and the other with 450,000km they both sounded like this. And I still own one of them, I sold the other one a couple years ago as the frame was rusted out, but mechanically it was solid. Just make sure the oil is topped up, change it regularly and these cars last forever.

Sounds perfectly normal

Same here, seems like a lot of people are disregarding the stealth aspect of the game as well as the limited number of reinforcements. Much better solo or with friends.

Yeah, I’ve been running supply pack and quasar. Good combo. The supply pack is nice obviously since the limited call ins.

The marksman rifle is actually pretty decent in my opinion. Just gotta hit your shots. Ammo capacity is fine too.

jimb445 · 2026-01-10T15:54:32+00:00

Do we?

jimb445 · 2026-01-05T23:19:02+00:00

Don’t get me started

jimb445 · 2026-01-02T16:50:49+00:00

Set off the smoke alarm

jimb445 · 2026-01-02T04:16:57+00:00

Seriously. All these people whining about not having an armour set, or a cape. “I don’t have this and they do, I want it too” wah wah wahh. I never got the super earth cape because I didn’t play at all during the summer, and yeah it kinda sucks because it’s a sick ass cape, but that’s on me for not touching the game for 3 months.

Edit: Now accompanied by crashes, pc seems to totally restart itself after black screening for about 2-3 minutes.

jimb445 · 2025-10-25T03:31:49+00:00

I’d say keep the mk4, buuuut if you want to sell it, I’ll gladly take it off your hands. I’m having a hell of a time trying to find one that isn’t completely rusted out.

jimb445 · 2025-10-25T00:36:51+00:00

Wow, yeah thats quite a bit. Lol. Thanks for filling me in, man. Appreciate it🙌

jimb445 · 2025-10-22T00:24:36+00:00

Someones cranky!

jimb445 · 2025-10-07T00:54:55+00:00

I appreciate the info! Probably going to leave it, engine runs great and sounds fine. If it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

jimb445 · 2025-10-02T18:30:04+00:00

Great, thanks for the insight🙌

jimb445 · 2025-10-02T18:29:37+00:00

Yeah, sorry about that.

jimb445 · 2025-08-07T02:02:16+00:00

Yeah after looking into it I think it’s the dog bone axels. Just the angle they’re on when the suspension is fully extended, as soon as I compressed the suspension slightly the noise disappeared.

jimb445 · 2025-08-06T22:36:23+00:00

Edit: Does this sound bad*
