    Im planning on getting an Injen or AEM CAI for a 9th gen corolla (on my 8th gen;)). Im going to be replacing throttle body gaskets and the like, are there any mods or maintenence I can do while I'm at it? Has the celica throttle body been proven not worth it?

    From what I hear it is very worth it, if you want to go through with the trouble.

    if your CEL is not on then you should pass smog...and no you need to use an after market intake i guess since the plastic one is bigger

    you can still use the 9th gen cai

    I will admit that I have never seen any of the movie (back to the future, right?) and I have no idea what it's about. I thought every car guy knew the 88mph fact.
