I downloaded the entire corolla xrs manuals from a web site I found on Ltalk.

It was a giant PITA as I had to click on every SUB chapter. It took two days off/on and $10 or $20/day.

I have an XRS, so was worth it.

I can't email you this stuff, as it seems illegal/immoral, but if there is something specific I can help with, please ask.

Note that many times one can use the size of the bolt as a guide. In fact, these guides are often published in the shop manuals. Spark plugs are good examples; they all get about the same amt of torque.

Every car I've had in yrs had the same lug nut tq. (NOT the Elan.)
