I wanted to write this to thank the guys over at Swerve for helping me out.
i had the corolla out today for to be inspected and i wanted/needed an oil change.
brought it in, took them 25-30 minutes(even tho the 35 year old parts made it a little challenging) and even with me standing around bullshittttttttttting about this upcoming season/etc.
but i ramble. THANKS AGAIN SWERVE FOR BEING A HUGE HELP!

Wow nice Corolla. I’d love to check it out and maybe get some pics this year when I get the Celica back on the road. Old Japanese cars just didn’t survive around here :(. What year is your Corolla? Is that a California plate? My Celica is from CA, bought it in Oakland and drove it back in March '06. Here’s a couple crappy pics from SC on the way back:

That’s great, can’t wait to see it in person. It looks super clean from the pics I found in the other thread from before you got it. It’s funny that you posted that 1UZFE ITB clip. I saw that clip on Streetfire years ago, before I got my Celica and thought that it would be awesome. I thought in the Celica it would make an awesome new/old school Japanese hotrod. I even have a 1UZFE now on an engine stand in my garage but I’ve decided to go in a different more conservative direction. I’m just going to swap the carbed 2.2L 20R and W50 (cast iron case) trans for an EFI 2.4L 22RE and W58 (aluminum case) from an '85 Celica GTS. I already have the full swap but I have to gather parts to rebuild the 22RE. I’m planning on a mild street cam and header which should be good for at least 150-160hp. Compared to the 87hp that my CA emissions car is rated at, that’s a huge increase.
