+Zeviander Thanks for your comments Zeviander!

Thanks Chris McRae! Glad you like my Corolla. And yes, they are rare, and real hard to find these days, specially in good condition.

Thanks 331guajibiri! I've had my 1.8 going now on 33 years! And since day one I've pampered my baby, putting the best of the best into it, and keeping it "old school" like the way they were back in the '80's! lol Thanks for your comment, and feel free to subscribe and share :)

Miguel Mora Hi Miguel...Old school Corolla's are hard to find these days, specially in really good condition, and non-modified. If you do find one that is for sale, and that is in really good shape and not abused, definitely jump on it. They are beautiful cars, never go out of style, and never die (as long as you maintain them). Keep your eyes open...you never know...you might find a really good one out there for a good price :) When you do, post a video and share it...would love to see it. Good luck.

Thanks!

Excellent point ghostcar! Like you said, my look reflects the time period I grew up with these old school Toyota's....this is how they were hooked up back in the days. And this is the era I like. Thanks for your comments! And keep that '92 Celica alive! :)

I hear you Edwin. These 1.8 engines don't die! Best engine ever!! I wish Toyota will bring back real wheel drive Corollas.

Plenty of Toyotas with rear wheel drive. Don't necessarily have to be named "Corolla".

Edwin Rodriguez all Toyota’s are made in North America no longer made in Japan.

@@tigergray1100, Not all Toyota's made in America. Only the ones sold in America, Crowns, Levin, Scarlett, Mark II, Majestic, are made in Japan. All Lexus models also made in Japan.

Thanks MrShak86! Glad you like my ride :)

Thanks Erick Kyle! Glad you like it =^)

Thanks davidbus159. Glad you like and appreciate the old school rides :) The sound system is from that era too... 1980's.

Glad you love it Young Pollux!! Feel free to share the video with your friends! :)

Thanks Jesus! Glad you like my ride and that it brought you back lots of memories :)

+Ben Murphy Thank you Ben!

+Original Username lol.....I have the Louvers in my garage....original "Shadow" Louvers. I just took them off so that my old school Pioneer Speakers can be seen better from a distance. But, yep, these are the old school Twin Cam and 1.8's! :)

Ricardo Ramirez Thanks Ricardo! Back in the days in the 80's, that's what all the Corollas used to have...the Pioneer speakers...and yes, they sound amazing! The look so good too! Do you still have any of the Pioneers with you?

No i dont have any of those pioneer with me anymore

Gracias Christian! Y es verdad....lo clasico nunca pasa de moda! Y si, mi Corollita es solamente de show, y de ves en cuando para chuliar en los fines de semanas. Lo cuido mas que a mi mujer....lmaooooo

Luis Roberto Bonilla Gracias Robert! Un amigo mio tenia una SR5 Liftback '82 en Fajardo en los 90's, azul cielo, y tambien la tenia bien preparada como tu dices. Yo compre mi SR5 en el '85, y estube en el club de 1.8 en Luquillo en los 90's, y alli fue que me cure con la fiebre! lol. Y desde entonces, la vena a estado siempre ensendida con Toyota! lol.

Lenny Pinto Lenny, I have a friend that her car club has the same banners I have and the ones you're looking for. I called her up in NJ to find out where they got it, and she told me they ordered it at a place called "Galaxy Printing", and its in Newark NJ. Google it to see if they have a phone number and/or a website. Hopefully you can get your banner from them. I have a few friends down here in FL that have lots of old school parts, so if there is anything in particular you need, let me know....they might have some. Keep in touch :)

PastimeVideos im deffinetly going to look into it. Thats awesome help. The old school parts are getting harder and harder to find. They have a old school toyota swap meet in Bridgeport ct once a year. You can find some good stuff there sometimes. Shoot a email to jazlen8481@gmail.com and ill send some pics of the Toyota's im working on. Thanks again for the help.

Lenny Pinto I have a few friends that go to the swap meet up in CT. I haven't been there myself, but would love to check it out sometime. I too love the old school Corollas...the never go out of style for me :) Anyway, hope you are able to get your banner. I will shoot you an email today so you can send some pics of your Toyota's. Keep in touch.

lol....that's right Peter....100% Puerto Rican....lol. Glad you like my ride, and thanks for the compliment.

Yolanda! Gracias! Me alegro que te gusto mi Corollita. Lo tengo como una nena desde que lo compre en el '84....nunca a sido chocado (GAD), y nunca queme gomas con el tampoco....solamente para chuliar en la calle y competir en los auto show.....jaja :)

Thanks! :)

Thanks cyb3rgh0st z3r0! Glad you like my ride. Yes, wish you would've kept your 82 Corolla Liftback...the old school rwd Corollas are real hard to find these days, specially if they are in good shape. And yes, you are correct about the Buckman Bridge...lol...it was only 4 lanes back then. I moved to Jax in June of 92 and since then, Jax has changed dramatically! Thanks for your kind comments, and feel free to share my video and subscribe to see upcoming new videos. Take care :)

@@pastimevideos9779 Absolutely man! You're about to have another subscriber and fan! Yeah man Jax has changed so much I barely recognize my old neighborhood anymore. Part of it is actually the Lowe's now by Cassat and I-10 lol. Anyways I live just a half hour SW of Jax now in Bradford County, Starke. I hope this isn't too forward but I am still a huge fan of those old Corolla's (hell we have a 98 Corolla now that looks horrible but won't stop running lol?) and if I'm in and around Jax and ever see your car, I would love to meet and look at your car if possible. I haven't seen any of those old Corollas around since I got rid of mine in 2000! That's nearly 20 years, and I bet you got the only one left in Jax, that is as nice at least. Matter of fact I think I still might have my old original Factory Service Manual in my boxes of books. Do you know the one? It's a light green cover and tells you literally EVERYTHING there is to know about that car! I think I read that thing cover to cover a dozen times over the years I had my car. Learned that sucker inside and out! That car was the first one I ever rebuilt the carb on, rebuilt the manual trans when we lost a gear and had to pull a used one at a salvage yard in Gainesville (that trans cost me $35 back then lol) and put one good trans together from the two, first time I ever changed axle bearings, driveshaft carrier bearing and U-joints, first time changing the entire timing set and replacing an oil pump, and the countless trial-and-error modding and testing to see what made more power and what didn't. I am a modder by nature. I mod mostly tech and radio stuff, but anyways I remember discovering a nice kick in the butt power mod by converting the vacuum secondary on the carb to open with the throttle instead of by engine load (vacuum) and my dad was so impressed. All it took was some thinking and ONE zip tie to do it! Dad loved driving that little car (it was the family car for a time although it was technically mine to do as I wanted with within reason of course lol) after I made some of the mods. He watched me learn most of what I know today on that car. It will always have a special place in my heart and I really wish at 20 years old I had thought ahead and kept the car. After all the $100 I got for it could have easily been made another way legally. *sigh* We live and we learn, right? Anyways, I really didn't mean to ramble this much lol. But I don't mind continuing the conversation if ya wish. Take care man and I look forward to hearing back and/or new stuff! :-)

@@pastimevideos9779 Also, I just remembered I used to have some old obscure Toyota performance and racing books that I had got back at Chamblin Bookmine right there on Roosevelt and Lake Shore back in the late 90s, and they talked about the 2TC engine mostly, because the books were from the 70s, but I'm sure you know there is virtually no difference between the 2 and 3TC engine other than bore and/or stroke. Point I'm making is that in one of those racing books they talked about a special version of the 2TC engine that was either single or dual overhead cam, and it was called the 2TG! I have not been able to find info on that sucker and unfortunately I lost those books not long after the car was gone. Man when I think back on that stuff I really miss those days with the ole SR5. Anyways just wanted to add that! :-)

Thanks for your kind comments cartoonist1975! :)

Matthew Downward Thanks Matthew!

Glad you like it Efrain! This is my baby, from the 1980's old school Corolla era :)

You got that right break boytee! It's the 80's look that made these old school Corolla's famous! And that's how I kept mine....looking like it has been in a time capsule for everyone to reminisce the good old days :)

Thanks Joel Harris! Glad you like it :) I'll check out the 50th Anniversary Corolla. Thanks for your comments :)

lol.... I have lots of friends up in NJ that are into these old school Corollas :) Thanks for your comments leosrule726, and glad you like my ride! :)

+BIGSARGE64 Thanks BIGSARGE64! I know there are haters out there....but, it is what it is. The positive comments out weighs the negative ones...lol. Many people just don't understand the real "Old School Toyota" look. It's a classic, and that's how I'm planning on keeping it. Again, Gracias!

Thanks Arsalan! Glad you like my ride :)

+Andrew Kakalia Thanks Andrew!

Thanks Rodgers...glad you like my ride :)

+D Manalang Thanks D Manalang! :)

+Mountain Comet Hi Mountain Comet! If you want to look for an old school corolla, I highly recommend try to find one that has been in the South most of its life. This is because back in the 70's and early 80's, the bodies of the old school Toyota's were not that good in regards to the type of preventive corrosion measures....they rusted easily if they lived in the North where it snows a lot. So keep that in mind! Also, go to 3tcGarage.com....its a forum site of old school Toyota's, where people post cars for sale, parts for sale, tips and tricks, etc. You never know, you might find one there that you like :)

JDM Toyota Thanks for your comments JDM Toyota! I love the old school Toyotas...these babies do not not die....lol. And 180k miles on your Toyota is nothing...they keep going and going! Keep yours up...you'll see, it won't let you down :)

Hi fullpeladas! Glad you like my ride! Thanks! And yes, I do remember the goose neck EQ 65 by Blaupunkt....wish they still make them today...they were bad! And about my 4 pioneers on the back, they are the legendary Pioneer TS-202..not the 205's. The 205's looked a little similar to my 202's, where they were 8 inch speakers too. Either way, all of the Pioneer TS-200's line were amazing, and HARD to find these days...lol. Anyway, glad you like the ride! Thanks again!

Thanks Tiger Gray! Glad you liked my ride. Feel free to share and subscribe :) I'll be uploading new vids soon :)

Thanks Timothy Ware! Glad you like it :) Please feel free to share :)

chris nguyen Thanks Chris!

Ahmed Imtiaz Thanks Ahmed!! :)

would you ever sale your car?

Thanks for your comments Tropicana777! Glad you like my ride :) Feel free to share and subscribe :) I'll be uploading new videos real soon with some minor mods I've done to it.

Thanks Lenny! The rear window banner flag in my car that you are talking about is over 20 years old.... To be exact, I got it in 1989 when I lived in Ceiba, P.R.,and was a member of "The Elegant Car Club" in Luquillo. It's rare these days to see these flags on cars anymore....back in the days all rides used to have them. I kept mine because I want to keep my ride looking old school...like back in the days. Anyway, you can probably have one made to your needs/likes by going to any shop that makes decals and work with upholstery. It can't be that hard to make. When you get yours made, let me know. Would like to see the finished product. Take care :)

Gracias Jhonny! =^)

Thanks alyaab studio! Glad you like my Corolla! Feel free to subscribe and and share :) I'll be uploading new videos soon once this virus we suffering world wide is over. :)

Alec Findlay Thanks Alec!

Thanks for your comments and glad you like it Mr Kellz :) And true, many people get disappointed with the custom interior and body kit, but, that's how they were hooked up back in the days...old school Corolla's! lol From the wheels to the custom trunk stereo system, it's all old school look....keeping it like the way it looked back in the days. Like what some people say, a "time capsule"....lol

Thanks for your comments Mito Marquez, and glad you like my Corolla! And yes, don't get rid of your 98 Corolla! They are really nice and great rides! This was my very first Corolla I bought when I was 19...many, many years ago...lol....yet I still have it. I always get offers of people wanting to buy my Corolla, but I will NEVER sell it! Its my weekend toy, and love to drive it :) Thanks again for your comments and feel free to share/subscribe :)

lol....that is true TropiCool! Some of my friends dogged the hell out of their Corollas, drifting and burning rubber. Not me....I've pampered my SR5 since day one. And because of it, I still have it today to enjoy it, and have other's to reminisce the good old days :) Glad it brought memories to you!

TropiCool r

lol....thanks Timothy! I'll be uploading new videos/pics pretty soon. We have a small club down here where I live where my friends have old school Corolla's ranging from 1969 up to 1986. One of my friends has a nice and sweet modified 1975 Corolla, another has a 1982 Corolla wagon (nice also, mostly stock), and a 1969 Corona, bone stock too. These old school Corolla's are becoming rare, and when you see one on the road, ugh! They are sweeeeet! Love them all! lol. One of my newer friends has a 2015 Corolla hooked up really, really nice! I'll see if I can get pics of them and post it also. Any info you want to know about these old school Corollas, feel free to let me know. :)

Thanks Alexander! Glad you like it :) Share with your friends and fiebru's! :)
