Scotty Kilmer i have a 2008 E63. M.B. AMG. 2 th owner 219,000 miles. having trouble getting an exhaust manifold . runs great just have trouble getting some Parts . thank ypu kindly
When I was buying my VW Passat the dealer had me go over to pick it up of the lot, and the guy who drove me there had a 1995 Corolla. It looked pretty beat up. I asked him with all these cars around why he drove such a piece of junk. I will never forgive the look he gave me. Then he said this piece of junk has more life in it than 5 Passats. Yep! My Passat is somewhere in junk yard now , and he is still driving that old Corolla !
delon a people look at my 93chevy truck like that to and I feel the same way that guy feels.. it still runs why pick on peoples ride my truck has more 💓 then alot of these newer vehicles these days and cheaper to maintain.i remember back in the day was made to get you work a not look so pretty.finaly had to rebuild the transmission 5years ago but the motor is original it's a 350 5.7v8 I baby the motor.a junk yard I don't think this truck will ever see.we had a 04jetta and and my Chevy the Jetta is in the junk yard true story.please think twice before judging other peoples ride u have a nice day 😀.
Mike Parry it was a Volkswagen that’s what went wrong I remember talking to a service writer at VW and he said Idk how Toyota service writers make any money
Just bought a 95 corolla last month for 100$ w 220k, was overheating, needed a thermostat and radiator. I put almost 600$ into it and I pretty much got a brand new car.
Also wouldn't hurt to change out your crankshaft sensor. Mine did the same thing, thought it was the distributor but turned out to be the crankshaft sensor. Got brittle and wouldn't work properly. Only about 70 bucks.
@@cuentauno9740 Personally, I've driven a 1996 model corolla and it still drives smoothly, start up every time. I would rather buy an old Corolla and drive it as long as possible than buy a brand new car with all the fancy electronics and lots of problems..Believe me, it's a better investment. Bcoz, the main purpose of a car is to take u from A to B, it has 4 wheels, an engine and metal caging 😅 . I've worked as a sales personal at a car dealership, to be honest I prefer these old corollas, even the old lancers or old nissan sentra. There's something special about these old cars, maybe that 1990's vibes...
These Corollas are terrific. I bought a 98 Corolla for my daughter 6 yrs. ago when she got her license. She didn't think it was cool, so she went out an bought an Infiniti G35. So, I use the Corolla as my daily driver. It's the most reliable car in the house and I have a BMW 528i, Volvo S60 , and a Mitsubishi Outlander at home. But running around town, I still take the Corolla. It has about 200K miles and needs very little maintenance. Most of the parts are inexpensive and it's an easy car to work on.
@Mike: My wife drives the Outlander and my older daughter drives the Volvo. I have the BMW whenever I have to go to a business meeting or go to a formal party. I paid $1000 for the Toyota 6 yrs ago and you just can't take a 20 yr old Toyota everywhere.
The secret might be that it’s still running because it was from a generation of the auto world built to last. Not like today where everything is “throwaway”
Theses corollas are just beater/ disposable cars lmfao. I see them abandoned on the freeway from time to time along with some late 90's early 2000's civics, old compact gm cars etc.
Great mods on a great car. Always good to see when someone has respect for the car and doesn't just throw high performance parts at it. Thanks for giving us the tour!
I have a 98 Corolla too. Moms ol car since 98, I drove it then now almost Jan 2019 and driving to work in it daily (12mile round trip). It has 279,200 miles on it and runs good. Fresh fluids and parts when manual states and you are good to go. Still Orig Engine & Auto Trans.
@@Zalahblue Look at the vin number, write it down, call a toyota dealer, give them your VIN number, and ask them what oil is recommended for that specific model of engine wich is in that car. There you go
This is one of the most desired version of corolla in Asia. Its called AE100. It has 4 wheel disc brakes, bucket seats, 6 speed manual transmission, strut bars as can be seen in the video. It also has anti-roll bar for better handling. You can rev the engine up to 9000. Its a fun car to drive. Best of luck.
@@williamcolon3647 These engines were not available in North America. North America got all the watered down engines. Only the Supra got the better engine than the JDM Supra.
That’s a nice looking corolla. I remember when my dad used to drive his friend’s corolla, its a white one. He even let me drive it one time and when i am about to enter the road, i did not looked at the side mirror and just drove without noticing a car was already coming so the car almost hit us. That time i was still studying in my home country, the Philippines and my dad is there for his vacation. He was workin in Dubai till he left us almost a decade ago. And now i am here in Dubai with my wife and children. I will never forget those memories with that beautiful white toyota corolla even its not ours. I always look at my dad while he drives it, how he drives it and always looked at the speedometer and the way he shifts the gears. Miss u dad!
I am a pre-1990 GM car enthusiast but am really impressed by this car. The color is perfect. The gauge rings, engine compartment, steering wheel, headlights and wheels are all nice but the bumpers are my favorite mod. I bet it's fun to blast around in. Modded cars that don't look modded -> perfect example here.
The build his doing in his corolla are 90s era build and that's the correct rims for that car. When 90s college student back in the day could not afford corolla back then and now in there 40s with succesful carrier bought their dream car and built it like these or jdm concept or euro concept. This kind of build are popular in my home country philippines just a simple 90s philippine era build.
So I live in Jamaica and this car is everywhere and is well loved trust me , my friend bought the station wagon version with a very healthy 4efe engine and 5speed gearbox, yep ran great until we broke the bearings about 7 miles from my house and believe me we drove it like we stole it lol then change the bearings 4 days later YES it was still driving with broken bearings try that with a Honda and see how far it gets you
Yeah a very popular car in Jamaica, u c them everywhere as taxis, they're called the"police shape" corolla because they where first used as police cars for the JCF. I really liked the tuned up G touring wagon version more thou.
If you were to drive down my street, you'd see at least 7 different Corollas from different generations. So, everybody rev up your Corollas! I drive a 2018 Corolla SE with Premium package
you can find a lot of used/new part & stuff for that car in indonesia, Malaysia and japan. seat, steering, digital speedometer you name it. in indonesia we call it "great corolla". i have 1, 95 automatic and it refuse to die.
This one might get 31 mpg because it's 5 valves per cylinder which is less friction for the engine. I know because I'm an expert at building cars, I play automation the car company tycoon on Steam.
@@stavroskalaitzakis4742 I was being sarcastic. I know that. Fun game though. I have learned some stuff from it. But not an expert because of a game like you said.
that Toyota corolla 7th generation is very common here in the Philippines. It has the nickname Toyota corolla big body. You can still see it driving on the street driving, very reliable car and easy to find brand new parts from the store.
After watching this, i realized our 1997 Corolla barely had any problems in it, still perfect and running!... except its been parked for 8 months in the garage now.. Edit: I just realized its been brought out yesterday im chill now
For back light fading you should try a 25% tint sheet on white glass only and leave red areas and it will not only mask the yellow area of light but will also make it shiny...that is what i did with my 86 GT
I just picked up a 93 Corolla with 280Kms on it... still spitting condensation, the paint is mint.. i am just working on improving the ride quality.. and yea the more I drive it the more I love it this summer I wanna take it right across the country(without AC:)
I drove a 1993 Corolla with a 5 speed. a rare AWD corolla referred as the model A104.. very limited and rare. Seen it in Canada and can be legally imported here. Drives amazing. Corollas will run forever.
My first car was a 1997 Audi A3, I still have it since 2015, but on December 2018 I bought a 1995 Toyota Corolla. Just like another comments around here, this car is extremely reliable. It has more than 260k on the odometer and is still very strong. The A3 is reliable too, but I don't know anymore which I love the most hahaha
These cars are still crazy popular in the Caribbean. Actually was my first car. Nice examples like that one are going for around 5k USD. Easy to work on and reliable.
This is a Tank, I got 1993 Toyota Corolla LE 1.8 Liter with 188000 miles on it, the only thing I put that cost me around $1500 just yesterday is, brand new Windshield, 4 complete struts and new brakes and rotors. I still love this car over my 2014 Corolla s.
I’m in the process of customizing my 1995 Corolla. It’s not a fast car but they make some aftermarket mods for it, it’s a comfortable vehicle and great on gas.
I had an 1997 Diesel Corolla for 5 years, I gave it so much abuse, nobody could believe how it lasted so long, I had almost every body pannel replaced at some stage .I can honestly say I drove it as hard as it could possibly go Everytime I got into it an it never missed a beat. Think one spring broke, that's it, it's probably still driving around Africa as it was exported
@@mehkifontanez9029 gearing is great. Feel leaves alot to be desired, I'm sure the age of the car plays a role but the cable design of toyota were sucky. Clutch is lifeless but not soft. Still drive it daily
I own this model and am apart of this club he talked about! Very strong and very popular model toyota ever built i believe... And like he said it's very tunable from the engine to body parts.... Am from Saint lucia btw we worship these models also my colleagues in the Philippines and parkistan...👌💪
Man that engine bay though is cleaner than my future 🤣 lol .. I loved all the details and the hard work he put on the corolla ... and it’s really marvelous 😍 ... keep the hard work bro and wish to see more videos of this Corolla in the future after the tune with a new ecu 😎
Hot rodding lives on. That is a nice looking car. Scotty is less than a year older than I am, so he may understand what I did in the '70's. I had a 1961 Studebaker Lark, but the engine went out. I found a wrecked '60 Cadillac, and my friends and I put the 390 cubic inch Caddy engine and 4 speed hydramatic trans in the Lark. Looked stone stock outside, but it was fast!!
This is an awesome build. I have a 95 DX wagon with 150K on it. Hs the 7AFe engine and its automatic. But I just love this car. I constantly get approached by guys asking to buy it.
I got a 97 1.6 about 10 years ago with only 84k miles on it. Sold it to my son for 300. Learned how to fix cars with it. After fixing suspension it's running better then when I had it) 160k now)
What a coincidence! I was just watching another Scotty Kilmer video! Great mods to this Toyota. The owner did his homework in researching the how to, and it shows.
Have one of these & it runs like the day it left the factory , regularly run it 100 m.p.h up rt 287 .The drivetrain in these corollas are extremely reliable.
I got a 95 Toyota corolla DX with only 59,000 miles it's a family car we never used just took up space, decided to use it instead of buying a car for my first car, dam this car runs smoothly no issues at all been driving it for about 7 months no issues and my parents bought that car brand new at the dealer shop back in 95
I had a pal at the job (this guy was son of a millionare from my country working with us just for fun and learning puprposes), he drove one of this, very standard exterior besides de low offset rims and low profiles tires, but inside the engine bay there was a big surprise, a camry v6 turbo engine modified by order in japan, the car was a complete sleeper and torque steer beast.
I miss my 90 Corolla SR-5, I made it look like a GT-S style (as the only mod I did). These were great cars to maintain & super reliable. These models were sporty looking too, low hood, flip up lights, etc. Why the heck did I ever sell that?!
I have a 96 base model 1.6 with 144K. I call it the beater and i drive it back and forth to work only. It leaks oil but other than that it is a beast. I need a mechanic like Scotty to fix up the leak and keep it running for another 500K.
Got a 97 Corolla CE 1.6L 4A-FE engine. No mods on this level, was my first car and two sisters have since owned it and still going strong. I like this bodystyle as well, have the last model year for it and really glad with my choice.
my dad bought one off an old lady with 30k on it. It still had all the stickers on the windows from the dealer. Needless to say that car is very reliable you might see it in Puerto Vallarta now.
I love my 1.8ltr 5spd 94 when i had it. I had tsubo exhaust it sounded good. Now i got a 04 5$spd. Love it too. You put alot of work into that. I do a a paseo with a beams. Light
Dude did his research, they are in fact popular in the Caribbean. These 90s model Corollas still fetch a decent price here in Jamaica and they are a favorite among taxi drivers.
My mum daily drove an E100 Corolla for 10 years and covered well over 100,000 miles in it and it never missed a beat. It's my car now and at 23 years old and over 135,000 miles on the clock she still refuses to die. We've owned it for almost 12 years now and it hasn't let us down once, and it only costs me £400 a year to insure which, for a first time driver isn't bad.
