Hi all , I was wondering if anyone could tell me : A; if it is possible to paint those little wheels that your fan belts go on, so fan wheels I guess haha. B; if it is possible how do i take them off?? will i lose timing or anything?? Thanks in advance. Jono

Hey people, i have already done the conversion some time ago but was just wondering how much power they can take before they go bang. I plan on bolting a s14 T28 to the side of my freshly worked 5k and possibly running it in the local hillclimb, will the diff and gearbox handle it without too many hard launches or burnouts? any help would be greatly appreciated, cheers.

Gaday, I'm thinking of putting sigma control arms in my Ke30 rally car to try and get some camber, and i can't't find any information on how to fit them or how much camber you will get, any help will be greatly appreciated. cheers

Well i pulled the clutch of my 4ac as i don’t need it any more because i'm waiting on a 4age to put in i pulled it off and found this i don’t think this is standard Toyota gear although could be i don’t know this is the first corolla I’ve worked on properly the paint is funny its got a iridescent shine like an oil sheen its weird and also looks like its been laced with string, better gripping??? the pressure plate is repco brand but i couldn’t find any number or code or brand name on the clutch plate got me stuffed cheers

hi i am looking a building up a car to do a bit of competion khana cross i was wondering which engine out of the 4k and 3k would be more bullet proof in not having major repairs done all the time also i have read the faq but it is not making alot of sense i was wondering what specific things i could do to get better preformance for rallying Thanks

hi all, just bought myself a 5k dizzy from the wreckers and want to know where both of these lines from the vacuum advance mechanism are meant to go. Because the 3k one that I'm using at the moment in my 5k motor only has one line that goes to the bottom of the carby. I was wondering if i need to use both or if one was some sort of emission line. :P

Hey guys, I'm just wondering if theres any easy way to get the dash pad out of an AE71, i did it in my T-18 once but it required pulling the whole dash out to get to the bolts up the back Any suggestions would be appreciated, just pulling it out to mount an oil pressure light to it for racing Phill

hi everyone, hope this is the right section for my question. What is the original paint colour for the KE20 taillight /grill surounds? apparently its something between silver and a dark grey under coat colour???

Hey guy's, I'm 14 and currently in the market for my first car to start building to have something decent by the time i get my L's. I've been steering towards a KE70 as i really like the shape of the car in general and there seem to be alot of modifications out there available for the cars. My main question is, what sort of price will a close to stock KE70 be? I'm not looking at spending a awful lot, just enough to buy me the car with maybe a set of wheels, other than that I'd do the rest myself. I'd preferably look the square front (I'm assuming that's what it is, without the headlights slanting forward?), i prefer them over the other style of KE70. Any help wou…

Hi, bought myself a 5k gear reduction starter today and was wondering what goes in this hole or what it is for.

Hi, can anyone tell me if there is a difference between a 4k and 5k crankshaft pulley, size or weight :y:

Gday guys, my AE82 died on me a few weeks back and after playing with it for quite a while, the only thing i can put it down to is the timing. now i heard somewhere that corollas have an auto-retard system? i havent been able to find any information on that at all. if anyone could give me any input into that that would be great. i really need my car back on the road |blink|

When people talk about a wam motor and a hot motor what makes it warm/hot? Also, does anyone have any idea if you can get a strut brace for a ke55? :y:

hey all, i was going to get my spare 2T head mechined and i noticed that it is different then the one in my car, i know it's a T head but what? and if it will go on my other... if someone could tell me, that would be great.

i was cruising the forums a while back and found gillys Project Ke70 and wondered what rims are these in the pics below and where could i get me some of them? thanks a heap in advance

hi everyone i have a ke70 that ive had for about a month now, has stock motor, clutch,gbox n such anyways just now got abit bored so went for a quick trash at a local dirt road, a couple of handbrake clutch dumps here n there and then my clutch suddenly felt wak, it was very loose to press, and would crunch on alot of gearchanges unless the revs were match perfectly so i headed home, on the way i decided i was angry at it so i gave it a good kick on one corner now the losseness is gone and it feels ok again, but it still crunches on gear changes, especially changeing down and its not slipping its just like...crunching? so what have i f@$ked? and what do i …

has any one installed a line locker on a rwd rolla before if so which brake line did u install it on? i just wanna know what works best...cheers cbf of vice grips ahaha

Hi there, If any one has a spare one.... or could someone please measure length so I can make one up....

Alright guys and girlies. I spoke to a random engineer though I think he might be a backyard one.. He claims that I would need a blue plate for my 1981 KE55 Hardtop if I put a 5k in it? I am 17 this year, and would rather 5k over my 4k anyday. Can anyone actually clear this up? Do I NEED a blue plate? I might give a few engineers and QLD transport a ring sooner or later again and hassle the shit out of them to actually see if I can get it without a mod plate.. I've also heard other Rollaclub members say that I don't have to, though I want a little few more suggestions.. So yes, Do I have to have a blue plate if I put a 5k into my KE55? …

hey guys i was veiwing some stuff on trade me that I'm intrested in buying, but i can't join for some reason...anyone who can give me a hand in buying something can you please let me know, there is a 4k efi setup conversion thing on there that i want, please let me know guys.. cheers Kyle

i just need a little info, i have a ke20 that had a 3k and i wanna put a 4k. do i need 3k mounts because the 4k sits high and what about the carby and the gas peddle cored . any help would be great thanks

hey guys just wondering how i would go about popping twin carbs onto a 5k motor? my dad is going to give me two sidedraught weber 40s from his alfa as he is upgrading to 45s, but would this be overkill for a 5k? the 5k i hope to run will be modded with a mild/wild cam, 4age pistons + decked block and high compession head, along with extractors. i know I would have to make/source a new inlet manifold but will she still fit with the engine slanted or do i have to straighten her up? cheers everyone in advance!

Buying a ke70/ae71 for a daily for a little while with plan's of a 20v conversion down the track. I know the ke need's the ae x-members, clutch etc for the swap. what other little difference's will there be suspension wise diff wise etc? when I go to nicer struts, brakes, steering and whatnot does one have better setup brakets or stuff that needs to be fabbed down the track that will catch me out? any years better than another for this regard? Cheer's Simon (ps on the hunt for a car too!) edit: title

Hey all, just dropping by to say gday, my names Michael i currently own a suzuki swift, and I'm thinking about moving on to corollas. I want one as a project, but i don't know too much about them. I want a RWD corolla, probably either a ke70 or an ae71. I will upgrade the engine, probably with a 4age or 4afe, depending on price. My question is which model would be better for that, ke70 or ae71? and whats the average asking price for either one of those models? i checked ebay there isnt many for sale at all, i don't need one with rego just not falling to pieces :lolcry: thanks for listening

Got a remote fuel cap and boot release setup that i've put into my CS ke70. Got the cables run to the back, just wanted to get a picture of how the little mechanism's are supposed to properly hook up to the fuel cap and boot release - don't really need any of the wire, just the actual mechanism! Thanks in advance! :jamie:

ok as some people may know i have a little ke70 in the progress of painting.... my friend who is an apprentice mechanic came over to check my progress and when we looked in the engine bay he said "holy s**t!!!" and here i was thinking " what? its just a 4kc???" so anyway he looked around a bit longer in the engine bay and we found wires going to no where which i already knew. i am hoping the good people here on rollaclub could help me figure out what wires i don't need thanks to the d**khead who owned it previously

g'day all, ive got a ke70 panel van with a worked k4, (cam, ported, dual valve springs, oversized valves, strethend bottom end, 4-1 extractors ans 2'' exaust) until just recently ive been uning a stock asian carby on it and getting 76.5 rwhp @ 7900rpm. ive since put a 32 / 36 webber ontop of the beast, and power seems alot better but taking off or anything under 3500rpm it is really unresponsive and lacks power there. ive been told a few reasons for this 1 is that the carby is to big, 2 with the oversised cam and all the port work that 3500 is were everything works with each other and makes the power. what i want to know is it just something i have work aro…

Hi all, I have a Hilux (old model 5 stud) diff for my ke20... it is getting cut down soon & i wanted to know if anyone knows/have dealt with a workshop in Sydney area that can supply a Disk brake kit, to convert from drummies. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Mark M

Hi, As you know I am currently working to get a KE15 on the road with a rebuilt 5K in it. Now this motor I bought rebuilt. Put in KE30 ran it pulled it out put it in the KE15. Now I am using a 0.8KW KE70 starter with more up right solenoid. I run pace maker extractors for a KE1X and twin carby KE15 intake with rebuilt carbies. Now initially I was cranking and dad said it has no spark. Dad couldn't see the spark.LOL But before I found this out I changed the dizzy, plugs, leads, did a bit of a tidy on the electrical wires, checked timing, made sure it was firing on the compression BANG stroke so it wouldn't back fire through carby etc. Went to crank it again…

just a quick question guys, which efi setup 4k or 7k has the greatest distance from the strut tower? cheers for any info

Hi, Well after not having enough cash to go out on the town tonight and being tired I decided to experiment at home :fuzz: I made this: I decided to get some acid and clean some alloy rolla parts. After this I got more acid and anodized them at home :bash: The one on the left is made darker on purpose the one on the right is 100% all over anodized but I made that one a light pink so it was more of a tint than anything. I just think they look awesome and was just letting everyone know if they want they can be successfully anodized at home on the cheap. You can also do all other parts of the motor that are alloy. Fuel pump, spark plug tubes, cooling compo…

hi, just replaced another 4ac, it has a rattle in the head which i belive most probaly is just tappets. i have a reground cam that I'm planning to put in at the same time as i replace the old timing belt (kill 3 birds with one stone). the cam has 290 degrees of duration and extra lift on the exhaust valves and about the same on the intake. i fitted it to an old head to look at the difference in lift. questions: -how do i know if the valve springs bind or what can i do to prevent them from doing so? will the std springs be fine? how likely is it for them to bind without wild amounts of lift although there is noticeably more on the exhaust side than std. …

:hmm: I have a 82' KE70 CS 5speed manual.. yeah that is all the badges I found on the car and in the engine bay. Anyway, Its had a new motor put in, a million years ago, its a 5k whatever that means. It needs a tune up, Dad reckons the tappits need to be done, so we need the engine specs to know what to do with them, if anyone can make sense of this, and help, I'd be heaps greatful. :S

At the moment I am wanting to shape up the rollaclub FAQ a bit, If you know what upgrading to Sigma control arms in a KE70/AE71/AE86 does and want some credit for your knowledge on the FAQ then please post up what you know here..

my brother is a tool!!!!!!!!! for writing stupid gay threads :hmm:
