I know, right? I’m so glad to see that my 15 year old celica wastes all these average hatchbacks!

I had a busted locking lug nut key, so I used an angle grinder to cut the locking lug nut into an approximate hex shape, then smashed on the closest sized socket. worked great!
I found the best time effective method for my celica was to just grab an 04 corolla engine and dump it in. problem solved.
See my above post, it’s not just the rings. Drill bigger oil return holes, bore/hone the cylinders, and re-ring the pistons and you’re golden.
Not the generation shown in the video. 1995-2000 corollas don’t have engine issues. it’s the 2000-2002 versions of the next generation that had the oil burning issues (same with the prism, celica, matrix, vibe, or any other car that had a 2000-2002 1ZZ-FE with VVTI). The issue is there are not enough oil return holes…
100cc dirtbike engine!
Oh man that would be great.
All of them. I would buy all of the cars.
The oil return holes in the pistons were undersized, and would eventually fill with sludge. Easy enough fix to pull the pistons from the bottom of the block and drill larger and additional return holes. Or you could just dump a later model 1ZZ in, as I did.
Hey! I drive that car!
I agree, just do a 2zz/6spd swap. In the future, I’m planning on ditching mine and getting an MR-2. Then again, I’m building/boosting a 2zz, and would like something a bit sportier to dump it into later.
Damn, I never thought small town manitoba would make the list, way to go ultimatt. It’s great, many small canadian towns have some sort of claim to fame that always presents itself as ‘World’s largest _________’

Even if that’s the case, which it probably is, there’s still no room to work on it. There’s maybe 3” between the frame and the engine block, not to mention all of the pulleys that are in the way. Since it’s not leaking, I’m not worrying about it. Like I said, I’ll eventually be swapping engines anyways, so I’ll just…
Just show Oscar Mayer all the Carmax warranty articles and they’ll be lured in by the sweet, sweet, free advertising (both in the form of the vehicle AND the articles!)
DO IT
Not exactly applicable, but I was replacing the water pump on my celica a couple of weeks ago, got everything out no problem, and was on the last bolt or the reassembly. Since it’s a tiny engine bay, I was having a real pain of a time getting it in, and it was starting to resist a bit (not cross threading though, I…
