Hey Rollaclub! This is my first go at building a track car, it's an auto KE70 that I bought from redae71(thanks Luke!). I plan to do the standard 4AGE swap, get the car reasonably light, and sort out some decent suspension. Oh and quadlights! So I got the car about a week ago and drove it home on an unregistered vehicle permit. It seemed to drive nicely, though the right hand upper spring seat was fouling on the adjustable camber plates due to too much camber, and causing the spring to twist on the strut when I turned. But other than that it was fine. When I got the car(minus the wheels): What I'm going to put in it: What I'm going to do it wi…

Hey all, new to all this build thread business but here goes. I'm Ollie from ye olde Hobart, currently 19 and slowly working away at this project of mine. It's an '84 ke70 wagon that I picked up close to two years ago now, paid $2150 which might have been a tad too much due to the rust but ahh well. This is how it sat as I got it Pretty much as soon as i got it home I tore it apart to inspect the rust. Wasn't too happy with what I found.. This was the worst of it as well as the usual in the guards, gutters and a few other stray spots. Unfortunately I had to do a quick fix as my brother sold his car and needed mine. So that involved sanding back, rust treating and a…

Hey all, While i was on my way down to the local wreckers with a friend trying to buy car parts for his conformodore we drove past the local Ford specialist wreckers, and i spotted this in the corner of their yard. I Immediately made my mate turn back and abandon his parts mission as i had to go have a look at this car. something just wasnt right about that flat front in the yard... sure enough we asked to go have a look and when i got close enough i realised id found myself a genuine DX rolla! and judging by all the japanese writing all through the car, and the import plaque on the firewall its come from japan, as I'm was told the only other model that has the s…

Hi people, so I been working on my little corolla for a while now and thought I would make a thread about my build process.It's a 1984 AE71, I brought the car for $400 of an old hippie lady lol. Anyway when I got the car it had a stuffed 4a in it and had oil all over the engine bay god now's what happend to the poor old girl but that didn't bother me as I had a ke70 wagon with a clean dark blue interior and only 143000km on the clock, so I decided to scrap the wagon and go for the sedan (woohoo) I have wanted one of these since I was 13.When I got it home I pulled the dash out and all the pinchweld, platic trim and so on and replaced it with the dark blu…

Hello all, I've been lurking around these forums on and off for some time so I thought i would post my KE. Bought it last year for $300 and told the head could not be removed after crapping the head gasket (lies!). I've worked on it sparingly since (uni and work is getting in the way nicely) and have just dumped a few hundred on a press, bushings and ball joints. Plan is to have a solid platform for a better engine in a few years when I am not so broke. I bought an OK replacement engine for cheap so the 4k stays, but is going to get a single weber and extractors. Never really done this sort of work to a car before, last car I had I only did oil changes etc. …

So I bought this And This Then yesterday and today did this don't have any actual build pics) (Having trouble uploading video ATM heres the link, someone might be able to put it up properly for me? http://imageshack.us/clip/my-videos/40/ck8gmzhpmwggoytgrsenvl.mp4/) So basically, engine conversion pedal box swap rewired whole loom from 4age swapped the whole front crossmember,c/arms,coilover blah blah in one go. Will update tomorrow with proper pics of it after I tidy the enginebay up and wash it etc etc. Go into more detail about why I did this and the plans etc. Dave

My mate bought this rolling shell for $300 as a project for us to do. But after a few weeks we sorta lost interest due to too much rust work needing to be done. It did come with some extra bits that helped us down the line, like suspension, diff, interior and rims.

I've been meaning to bang up a thread for a while. I purchased my Panno a few months ago while I was living in Melbourne, at first I wasn't to keen on converting from my usual sedans to a Panelvan, but now I wouldn't have it any other way. I have just completed the drive to relocate back to the gold coast so I can now start playing around with it. She's extremely straight with only two or three rusts spots 1/2 the size of a five cent piece. It's completely unmolested with 128000 on the clock from factory. The only few things that I have done are fit MA61 Supra wheels with fresh rubber and MA60(?) Supra seats, and a simple stereo install. Plans Engi…

Hello All, My name is Mitch, I'm 22 a car salesman and qualified boilermaker. Ive owned a total of 6 ke70/ae71's. this will be my first conversion and most work will be completed by myself and a few of my mates(mechanics, auto elecs and fabby's) As you can tell by the heading I'm about to start the long process of building a 1uzfe powered KE70. the 1984 KE70 corolla S with aircon, was purchased for $1,000.00 of an elderly women who went blind and couldnt drive. She purchased it from Shepparton Toyota. where I'm currently employed as a salesman. The 1uzfe and auto cost $1000.00 n is out of a 1991 Toyota Celsior that had 130,000ks on it for when it was pulled from t…

HI I'm new here but have been lurking around for some time now. This is my 1980 corolla wich I have owned for 3 years now but first started to work on about a month ago. still a working project but will hopefully finish the mechanical stuff in 2-3 weeks I'm putting in a Volvo B230FK engine and m90 transmission. With 700cc injectors and 16t volvo turbo and about 18-20psi it will be around 250+ hp All controlled with MS3 I used s13 running gear in the front but with custom made lower control arms. s13 coilovers front and rear I put a 1980 hilux rear axle and vw rear brake calipers and SSangyong musso brake discs. some pics of the process …

Hey guys I've just bought a pretty straight stock 82 ke70 xx. Apart from the general fixing up of the bog and rust throughout the car I was thinking of a few little mods to do on not the biggest budget. After all the body work is finished I'd probably be respraying it at home after getting a little more experienced in painting. I'd also be aiming for some wider wheels and was looking at 15x8+0, some opinions on that would be great. Lastly the stock 4k is a little bit on the slow side, some opinions on whether the 4k is actually worth the work or something like a 4age would be more appropriate. As far as I know there is an exemption available for P plates in queenslan…

After a long search for a Japanese "oldtimer" I got this last Thursday. It's a 1982 Toyota Corolla KE70 2 door wagon in more or less original state. Engine is 4K - 1.3l, carburettor, 8-valve OHV with maybe 55 hp. It was left standing outside a garage for three years so it's in quite a rough condition, but it fired right up! Plans are complete overhaul and maybe 4AGE blacktop swap sometime in the future. I'll have to take a look at starter later today because it doesn't work. I've put a new battery in, it takes some juice (lights on the cluster dim a bit when trying to start) but nothing happens. _MG_5952 by GeorgeCZ, on Flickr _MG_5949 by GeorgeCZ, on …

Any1 no much about them

hey people, just thought I would post up my 3 month old ke70 that I bought from a dodgy apprentice mechanic. eg. Cut au falcon springs (that fell out when we lifted the car up), welded stock borgwarner diff, blown head gasket, straight pipe to split sh*t drift tip yeeeee, instrument cluster wasn't working/broken, no locknut key, interior ripped to sh*t/missing a lot, wrong tyres to go with rims?!?!, callipers rattling, steering rack/rack boots destroyed, wheel bearings all shot and to finish it all off lots of body work.........................lucky we like challenges right.

Hey guys, I have an 84 ke70 rolla and I am looking at putting a 1jz in it as I have on sitting here, I was wondering if anyone can tell me a total cost roughly, can it be street registered on Vic and the good and bad of doing this, Cheers

Hey guys, So yesterday after 4 years of waiting, ive finally got a corolla in my name :) Its an 84 ae71 with a 3ac (put in by previous owner) and t50. It needs a few things for a roady and there is some rust and bog (obviously). Just a few questions: In Vic how was your experience with rust testing for rwc? Ill get pics later of it Also if anyone is wrecking a xE7x in melbourne that would be awesome, please send a pm Theres big plans for it. But I'm thinking realistically atm and going to uni means i got nothing coming in ahaha Before all else I'm getting some "JDM" stickers off....haha

Well,3rd time around,some may have seen I advertised a KE70 for a bloke in another area,well,I ended up buying it from him myself,$200. Think I paid too much really as it has 210,000k's,auto,a/c,interior is clean,boot,petrol flap and wheel arches are all rusted as per usual for a KE70 BUT it had 3 doors missing,boot lid missing,bonnet missing,damaged guard drivers side and no grill. Well,Ive got into it over the last 2 days and cleaned it up pretty well,a/c switch is missing but everything else seems ok at present. Raided the car at pick a part kilsyth and got all the panels I needed so that added $300 to the purchase price,they are all fitted up now but still missing …

Hi all thought I would start a bit of a thread here with my rolla. I bought the rolla about 5 years ago now and had been driving as a daily until i had a work car so started to do some work on her. I pulled the motor out and did a rebuild myself (lots of learning). Tried various combinations of carbs from stock to weber also tried twin SU's worked great but my cam was to lumpy so did not work so well at idle. Anyway moved to Sydney and the car stayed here in QLD and unfortunately had to be stored outside and very quickly grew rust and was not quite the same. However I have now moved back to QLD and have decided to get it back on the road and make a project out of it…

such a project was started here in Finland. Toyota Corolla dx 1.3 -83 Unfortunately, the car was in children, so to correct a;)

Hello everyone, new to this site, old to Corolla's Where should I begin....... I guess it all started about six years ago; I was thinking about which way I wanted to go with my TE72 project. I kept dreaming of a 4A-GE swap (just like everyone else). Suddenly, like lighting striking my brain, it came to me! I’ll swap in a 5M-GE from an early 80’s Supra. I started doing some research to make sure it was possible to stick the inline 6 under the hood. I managed to find two blurry photos of 7M-GTE’s in TE72’s. That was more than enough proof for me. First I needed to find a running supra to swap the parts from. I searched and searched, but was always disappointed, b…

More than one year ago, I've bought a Ke70 1980 the one with quadlights. I have in mind a complete factory restoration, a clean look with maybe some lowering and small details as an extra. Nothing special. Where I live, in Malta Europe, it's very hard to find parts and stuff. Infact I have struggled a lot to find parts I have today. One things I'm looking for at the moment and can't really find is the chrome trims. The ones that are on each of the four doors at the bottom of the window and also at the back of the rear doors, the same trims that the '82 GL models/versions used to come out with. Can anyone help me on this? I really appreciate your furthe…

Hi guys I'm pretty new to this forum, previously hung out at AE86DC, JDMST, MX5CarTalk etc, basically whatever ride i'm rolling in at the time. Just sold my Evo 6 and have moved on to an AE71 wagon (who does that, honestly?), but yeah, the Evo just wasn't me. I would have preferred a low roof & flat front wagon, but this came up for sale so i grabbed it. Links to other current & previous build threads: Shakotan Corona Turbo MX5 ITB AE86 So here is my new daily: DETAILS: Stock as a rock AE71, 4AC & 5 speed. 103,000kms & 2 previous owners. Good service history. Pretty good all round really. Passenger side panels aren't quite as…

well, my mate down the road bought an ae86, i worked on it with him for a couple of days.. i always wanted a ke70 but working on a car made me want one even more. i hunted for about 2 days and i found this, a slighty rusted, manual, flat front ke70! all he wanted was $400 and i was on my way. i am only 15 and will be getting my lerners in about 3 months.. i live in the sunshine coast and can't bloody wait to get my licence Plans-- new carpet paint all trims/dash blaaaack fix rust noiiice spring / shock setup, nothing ridiculously low just so she sits beautiful quads chrome bars make door cards like reed. bigport 4 age :))) 2 1/2 exhaust central …

HEY GUYS This is my first build. So please take it easy on me if i make or say somthing like a complete noob. I have been researching for a very long time nearly a year. i had a ke30 at the sart and was going do a conversion in it brought a blue 55 as a daily to drive around why i did it then for some reason i sold them both (don't ask me why :( ) after have no corolla for a few weeks i could not handle it went out and brought a white manuel ke70 with a 4k had that for a fair while got real seriouse about the conversion and decide to sell it off and try find a ae71 with a 4 ac and t50 in it so i was already half way there sold the 70 been looking for a fair while no…

So it’s finally time and tomorrow morning I’m travelling to the goldy to pick up my Ke70 project. It’s currently in pieces and has already had rust cut out and fixed up so the first thing that I plan to do to it, is strip it fully and begin paintworks. As a tribute to my first ever car, I have decided to paint it green :O My dearly beloved Toyota Lexcen, bought for $50 off the back of a mates swamp and done up as a replica HSV SV5000 commo (but with SV89 body kit, go figure), was sadly written off after a very intimate encounter with a roo. So to revive some of my dearest memories I decided to paint my new Toyota in the same colour. Now, I …

Hey guys new to the forum, bought myself a 82 ke70 that had been converted to manual and had a bride drivers seat on a set of steelies, still in the process of gathering parts, bought a built fully forged sr20 that made 507hp on av fuel. My plan is for the car to be a registered street drifter that I can do track days in but drive on the road Me and my dad will be building it, he builds hotrods in his spare time so he will be a massive help.

sad end to my KE70 project Getz V's Corolla Getz =0 Corolla =0 HiLux 1

Imgur album: Figure I'll put a thread up here since i've lurked here for so long xD. This is to be my daily driver and is scheduled to be back on the road this arvo (pumped). I purchased myself an ae71 off boostcruising (lol) about 6 months ago. Just got rego yesterday, but broke down with fuel issues on the way home (filled up the tank for the first time in who knows how many years, stirred up shit in the tank that shouldn't have been stirred up). Leaving that to the mechanic because I really can't be ʞ©$ɟed xD. Recent pics: Semi recent pics: With these: Came with: - 4ac 5spd with a weber downdraft, ʞ©$ɟed radiator - cut falcon sprin…
