will this weber manifold fit straight onto my 4k ke70 engine, it's all stock so far, quick answers a good answer :) thanks

Hi all, My KE70 wagon was broken into last week. They smashed the front passenger side window. Does anyone happen to know if an 8 Corona window is the same size? The dimensions seem very similar and I have acces to a dead corona but I don't want to go to the trouble of pulling the window out if it's not gonna fit in the rolla. thanks guys matt

hey guys ive just recently installed a jdm tank into my sprinter however it appears now that the car wont start up? Ive checked: 1) All lines and that they are connected correctly 2) Prime the fuel line of any air 3) check pump if it is actually even working (which it is). 4) Spark plug wise the car did not have any issues with it before i installed the jdm tank So what could it be? Can you please help me find the root of the problem. Muchly appreciated, Dave

So I am doing a manual swap into my Ae82 4ALC, I pulled a transmission from an 87 FX16 GTS. I read somewhere they came with a c52, however mine doesnt appear to be a C52 from the pictures I have seen. It only has one "Ear" but looks almost identical to the c52 otherwise. Basically I need to know which CV axles to buy.. Does anyone have an idea of which transmission I may have, or what axles I need? I pulled numbers off the trans case: 61106943 And off the plate on the trans: 1NXAE89G0, followed by 1Z412164 Does anyone know how to decode this business? Thanks for any help in advance.

Saw this guys car on boost and it looks like it has a K motor Still can't be sure if it is or not...just thought Id post it up for you guys to comment on

just wondering i'm chasing up a set of struts and springs for my car wondering if anyone has some second hand ones with low k's they were wanting to sell????

Hi all. My awesome little rolla is having trouble again... :( Car: 1993 Toyota Corolla CSI Limited Hatch -- 4-AFE EFI engine. So today, we were driving along the Great Western when my car started making a "clicky" noise and smelling really weird, then started losing power. About 5km up, we made a turn off the highway and my car completely died, and there was smoke coming from the engine. Also when we opened the bonnet there was oil all over the engine, and there was no oil in my car anymore when yesterday it was full. There is no discernable leak whatsoever. We've put oil in it, and eventually it started and we got it home (took about 15 tries), and now it…

Help!! I need ideas on what to do mechanically and external. So far I've got a bigger exsaust. Muchly appreciated. It's a white manual.

Can I fit the alternator for a 4A motor onto a 4K motor without to much drama and muckin around or would it be just plain not worth it????

Hey all I'm new here and was just some more info. Did the AE92/AE93 sedans ever come out with the 4age motor? And if any one has a mid 80's corona what sort of fuel economy are you getting? The reason for there questions is that I'm looking a getting 1 of these and I have had a corona before but I was only getting 400kms out of the 61L tank ( It was worse then my 351 falcon). Thanks Shaun

So i friggin love my corolla, which i've named freedom. Its an all stock(at the moment) 1991 Seca Csi limited with the 4A-F engine(thats the carbureted one right?). I recently lost my job and so i have a lot of time on my hands, so i've been spending a lot of time on the car. I don't have a great deal of coin, so all i've done is replace the spark plugs, brake pads, leads, filters etc but now i want to start adding on rather than maintaining. I'm a bit a noob with cars but with all the problems my corolla had, i've started learning. My questions are: What does Csi limited mean? What about it is limited? just curious.... Do more expensive spark plugs help? I just g…

ok so i recently purchased a 94 csi hatchback for dirt cheap and i knew it had engine problems i took it to a family friend who is a mechanic and we thought we found the problem put in thermostat new head gasket new hoses new water pump and i still have the same problem whenever i take it for a little bit of a thrash it overheats on me does anyone know what could be the problem? is it the engine? it's only done 160,000km as well no matter what i seem to do it just goes back to the same thing would an engine swap solve this? if so what is recommended if someone could help me out it would be appreciated thanks

Hey guys! Some know about my plan to graft a 2T-G into a Ke-35 Coupe ... I have been looking for carbies and manifold to suit. I have discovered a neat little twin carb manifold and twin carbies (they look like side draught with a sliding sleeve device?) off a toyota Corsa. It would seem to be from a 3E motor. I have not been able to glean any more info than that, except that they came off a 1500cc or 1800cc SOHC motor from a jdm corsa. I am wondering if; A) The whole manifold will fit B ) If not A then will the carbies function for my application? Re-Jetting and other standard-type mods are acceptable. Thanks for your, most precious, time!

Hey there every one, I have what I believe to be a problem with either my diff or my rear wheel bearings and I am asking your help in diagnosing just what is wrong. First up the small amount of technical information I know about the diff. She is currently in my Ke35 and was placed there (not by me) about a year ago. She is the Japanese style diff not the Borg Warner, i don't know from what she was transplanted and finally she is making a whirring sound. I have been told that if it where a pinion bearing or any other sort bearing within the diff the whirring would stop if i placed my foot on the clutch whilst the car is moving. (Is this correct?). The results o…

http://www.rollaclub.com/faq/index.php?tit...eries/Gearboxes Just edited the A series GB section to include this odd-ball. :D

I was starting a big cleanup of the many photos scattered around my computer and found this... Now, when the next person strips a gearbox or does a clutch, please take lots of photos (on a real camera, not a blasted useless phone!!) and put up some "How-to" topics... How-to replace the input shaft bearing, How-to change a clutch, How-to replace synchros... If we build up a library of these it will stop a lot of new guys having to ask the whole deal every time. After a few years we should be better than Toyotas workshop manuals! This is Taz's 0.1% !! :yes: Sorry man- I did laugh when I saw it.

hey people of rolla club, my name is lachlan but every 1 calls me mullet. i have recently purchaced myself a '75 ke35. she has a 4k with a 5 speed manual box. I have noticed when i accelerate that there is a flat spot but only on initial acceleration (low revs). i also seem to be going through a tank of fuel like it is going out of style and the exhaust smells very ritch. i have been told that the flat spot may be being caused by an air leak some where. Any ideas of where or any other reasons i might be encountering a 'flat spot'?? i have tried to adjust my carbie to try and decreese my fuel consumption and to try and minimise the exhaust smell but to no avil…

does anyone know what accelerator cable to use when you put a webber on a 5k in a ke30? seems to me the standard one is a bit short.... cheers

does anybody know a car that has a accelerator cable that is about 30cm shorter then the stock KE70 one. my carbs are on the other side now and its way to long. cheers

hey guys..my ta22 celica has a frustrating problem, the accelerator is stuck and wont unjam itself..when you break, clutch, change gears...its still going!! it wont stop unless you pull it up, ive had a look and i can't seem to find anything thats making it stuck...got any ideas???

hey guys, i have hooked up my 2" straight threw with one muffler, but I'm looking to upgrade to 2.5" i want it to sound nice and deep and not really raspy like little engine with big exhausts, should i go for a resonator and cannon style thing or a box muffler or something different, i want to achieve a deep note like what you might hear on some skylines and ditch the poo sounding t motor noise buy the way tis is on a turbo 2t motor

Has anyone tried adapting a T50 shift lever assembly to a K40/50? If it can be done it would open up more options such short shift kits and easy to locate spare bushings.

Well my KE20 is boosterless which makes braking a very intense job. I want to add a brake booster but with minimal modificating. Any suggestions on what I should do and what I will need to do?

Hi just wonding if there are any threads on this. I've searched but haven't found anything. Having no air con in Townsville is killing me. I'm wondering how difficult/expensive it would be to add. Was air con an option on this or equivalent models? any info greatly appreciated. matt

Hi, I have looked around the web & checked your site. I am looking for Adjustable Air shocks (rear) for a Corona 1985 CS st141 Wagon, I want to be able to go places most 2 wheel drivers wouldn't go. The car has a set on it already ( 20 years old, fronts were too, new hydrolic now ) These are Armstrong Air Jackers, they are a small diametre air shock that was seemingly stopped being manufactured about 5 years ago... :bash: Anyone got any idea's, if it wasn't for the narrow 'tunnel' (if that's the correct term.) at the top, I wouldn't have the problem... These need to be replaced, the body roll with one leaky shock is terrible. :P Dancing you don't want to be, …

just made another custom vernier adjustable cam gear for a 3K race engine. thought some of you guys might like to see it. https://www.facebook.com/RoadAndTrack1

another question for you guys, with the 4a-fe,4a-ge and 20 v twin cam engines ,are you able to fit a after market adjustble fuel regulator ??? will it help much in perf/tuning ?? and where would you fit in the engine bay ?? this is to suit a ae-92 / 94 rolla btw. cheers glen

Hey, I have searched everywhere for adjustable (camber and caster) tops to suit a KE55. Haven't found them anywhere. Nolathane, Noltec, Wholesale Suspension, Pedders, King Springs etc. All of them have said that they don't make them anymore. Can anyone help with this problem. Pleeeeaaaase.

I've been looking through the Noltec catalogue as I'm looking into purchasing some adjustable camber/castor strut tops for my KE55. I have also been getting quotes from various locations, and have established that AE86 strut tops can be bought cheaper. I was under the impression that AE86 items would fit, but the Noltec catalogue disagrees with me. According to Noltec, their N44025 strut top will fit the following models: COROLLA KE20,KE25,KE26,TE25 ‘70-78 COROLLA KE30,KE35,KE36,KE38,KE50,KE55 ‘75-81 COROLLA KE70,KE71,AE70,AE71 ‘81-85 Whereas the AE86 uses part number N44026. I thought that if the part fitted an AE86, it would also fit an AE71. What w…

I'm mucking around with the Selby's adjustable swaybar that I have at the moment, and am trying to figure out which way gets stiffer and which way gets softer... On a normal swaybar, it's simple, the front bushes merely locate the bar (pivot) and the end bits torque the bar, so the further away the ends are from the pivot, the "softer" the bar is... The bar I have attaches to the radius rods. So one set of bushes near the ends, snd one set of bushes near the pivot. Does the same theory apply? That the closer together I put the bushes then the stiffer the bar will be? Or is it the opposite? Does it matter how near the ends I put the bushes?

ok so even with the cables wound right up, the handbrake doesnt really work at all and the levers come out way to far on the calipers, (they are not drum and shoe handbrake), just wondering if anyone knows how these are adjusted at the caliper, had a look and there is no plug like normal caliper handbrakes that you remove and adjust a bolt inside.

hey guys tonight i put on my new wheel cylinders and my new shoes on my ke35 and everything went to plan, bleeded my breaks and then thought how do i adjust my drums to the right friction, I'm thinking i roar down my street backwards then slam on the peddel and hopfully they will adjust them selfs then slowly crawl my way down do the local garage. what should i do Thanks, Lukey :lolcry:

Hey people, just wondering if it would be simple to install a pod filter in my 1988 AE 82 Corolla CS Sedan. Is there much work to it? worth doing? Thanks guys, any hints/tips would be greatly appreciated.

Can any help me? I need to know what fuel pressure should I have on a AE92 4agze? Previous owner put aftermarket pump on the car and the fuel disappears from the tank real quick.

Hey guys just put the motor in a 94 rolla everything connected but has no spark only thing that seems odd is the two brown wires that went to the starter isthisnormal any help would be good

In my continuing bid to circumvent the AE series diagonal braking and aid in the installation of a Hydraulic handbrake, I've been investigating twin master cylinder pedal boxes with a balance bar. The fabrication shouldn't be a problem and it looks like you can get pre-fabbed balance bars off e-bay for reasonable dollars, so it's all down to pedal lengths, pivot points and actual master cylinder sizes. The standard bore on an AE92 m/cyl is 15/16" (23.8mm) and consulting the TRD bible on AE's, they claim to be using a 7/8" (22.2mm) for the front and a 13/16" (20.6mm) for the rear. And this is some of what isn't making sense to me at the moment. The Grp A Corolla's were u…
