Toyota parts reviews

I run Michelin Pilot A/S3+ tires on my Toyota 86. I picked up a nail somewhere between Sacramento and Long Beach and the only reason why I knew about it was because I parked in such a way that the porter called it out when I got to the Queen Mary. The tire never deflated or showed signs of air loss. I still had it replaced, but the fact that the tire was safe enough to get me a replacement spoke volumes.

i am of the mindset of using oil from the region. my GTI is a german car and gets liquimoly, a german oil. my toyota/subaru is Japanese, Idemitsu is a japanese oil (and the oem supplier for Subaru). i have 5w30 in it now.

Akebono is Toyota OEM, plus they're the best pads on the market in my opinion, super quite and the dust is super fine

I’ve been a Toyota certified master diagnostic tech for nearly 30 years. I can tell you that I’ve seen Toyotas come in running poorly and all we do is scrap the off brand plugs with either NGK or Nippondenso and the car runs fine again.

In comparison, my local mechanic shops charges around the same price but they don't use OEM filters so I rather go to my local dealership.

Bosch quiet cast

My latest setup is below and works well for the handful of HPDE’s I’ll do each year. Fronts: Hawk DTC-60 pads

My oem brake pads, (‘23 A-91MT) are getting low ish after a year of driving her and going to the track. OEM ones seem expensive but they did last a hpde 1/2 driver a year.

Just had to do mine on 2010 Prius w/98k mi. Replaced Brake Booster and Master Cylinder Assembly and fluid flush, $1,792 out the door, parts and labor. Yes the parts are expensive for this job, but shop around to different dealerships. One dealer 40 miles away was $3,900 for the same job!

The alternator of my Corolla died. I bought a reman Denso alternator from RockAuto and made the swap. However, the new alternator makes a loud, screeching sound when I start the car. It goes away after a minute-ish.
