I'm wondering about the 7AFEs that are in the Corollas. The Corollas were built in the US, so did they also build 7AFE engines or were they all shipped from Japan? I'm just curious if there are Japan and US manufactured 7AFE engines, and if there are any differences between them. Thanks, TJ

(toyoda and yamaha go hand in hand) This post has been edited by Mr7AFE: Feb 27, 2003 - 5:06 PM

ok look. yea that's why i said i THINK and in my opinion. it is a general question about engines. so it could be in either forum.
