Some new guy with a coupe wants to know tips and tricks :)
So I have got my first corolla ('87 GTS coupe) And i would like to know of any tips and tricks you have for owning these cars? whether it be what should be done to the car in steps, or just tuning and tinkering. What have you learned from owning your corolla?
