    Oh well lol, by the way do you think I'll need to upgrade the alternator when I start installing a nice sound system and some led lights?

    Nah, LEDs don't use much power, and it depends on your system. You can have a nice system without much amplification. I don't need to hear you in the next state lol.

    Yeah on my Corolla, my speakers just used the deck amp, no extra amps, and my sub is a 500 watt amp on a Bose sub for a tv lol. Never had a problem with that and all my UFO LEDs (you cannot have more LEDs than I did lol).

    Sounds good, I was just scared about the fact that the 8th gen rollas use an 80 amp alternator, I have a feeling it'll give up soon, EVERYTHING on the car is stock oem from 1998 The owners never did anything, When I did the sparkplugs I swear they were the old denso plugs from 1998,
    Another scary thing is that this car has 179,xxx

    What's so scary about that?

    Sounds like you've got some maintenance to do ASAP! I'm not sure about the 80amp alternator, but it should be fine.

    The alt will be fine, unless you have light weight pulleys it should handle it fine.

    So far I've gotten most of the important stuff out of the way:

    Oil Changed (Mobil1 Actually fixed my consumption problem) (Also put Bosch Distance Plus Oil filter cost $12.64 at Walmart)
    New NGK Platinum Plugs (Want Irridium IX)
    New NGK TE64 Spark Plug Wires (Hell yeah Blue)
    New SMP Oxygen Sensor (After Catalytic Converter, Still need to buy one in engine but since there is no check engine codes I'm fine for now)
    Clutch Replacement Underway (New Gearbox oil, and Clutch Fluid)
    New Coolant/Antifreeze (Old one hasn't been changed since 98)

    Things I need to buy soon:
    New battery (Thinking about Sears Die Hard Platinum) (Old One still works but its almost 7 years old now)
    New Struts/Springs (Tein S-Techs w/ Tokiko Struts)
    Drive Axles/Rack and Pinion (They are in good condition but I will replace them due to the car having 179,xxx)
    Rotors (OEM of course, My corolla isn't supercharged and it's gonna be mostly a cruising car)
    New Stereo System (Lol Not part of scheduled maintenance but I'm still rocking the 98 radio :( )
    And plenty more but can't remember

    The alternator will be fine but you need to do the "big 3" upgrade if you're gonna do any audio.
