KE70 Projects

hey guys, this is my project 83 ae71.. i had a thread a while ago but decided to have it deleted and start again fresh... i bought the car on the 21 june 2015 and it didnt really do much for a few months, until i found some motivation to make it cool.. This is what it looked like the day i bought it .. white, slant front, unhealthy smallport 4age with downdraft weber (weird but cool), some steelies and mostly standard suspension, interior wasnt great and either was the exterior..

hey guys ive got it on the rollaclubs main site http://www.rollaclub...nsmission-swap/

Hi all, This is my first post and I'm kinda new around here but I thought I'd start documenting my 1981 Toyota Corolla Ke70 build and everything else that comes along with it :wasted: So i bought my little poo brown corolla about a month or two down in Gosford (I live in Sydney) with around 69XXX genuine kms on it off some dude looking like dis, high in the air, but on stock steelies: It was in pretty good condition bar a few dings, had close to no rust, deep dish steering wheel, new alloy radiator and started and ran! Had a pretty dodgy drive back home as the thing pretty much didnt have brakes :wave: I wish I took photos of them but it was metal on me…

To start this off this is my first thread go easy on me haha. My names Jacob and I'm 18 This is My 1983 toyota corolla wagon which I brought for $1000 with rego. I got it a few weeks back and have loved every second of it. It was a 2 owner car both being elderly people. The first owner of the car looked after it very well. It has new parts throught it. The second owner who was best freinds with the original owner has had it for six years and continued to look after it. I don't plan on doing any major mods to this car as I want to keep it clean as a tribute to the original owner who has sadly passed. It's a stock 4k and k40. I'm just going to maintain it and clean up a few…

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.

Hi. This is my 1982 Toyota Corolla ke70. I have had it for almost one year or so now, and i'm thinking about getting some more power out of it. I have not made some super plans for it quite yet, but hopefully I it is ready for "Gatebil Våler" 2015. "Gatebil" is a trackday/track event in Norway (where I come from) Here is a pic of how the car looks like today, it is preshly painted in it's orginal colour. It also have some lowering springs. So this weekend I started with the raer axle. I got a Volvo 240 axle for free from a buddy of mine, and it fits quite perfect. It is alot of work, but i think it is worth it, because i'm planning t…

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…

Hey All Picked up a stock as a rock AE71 csx in silver (little bit of surface rust which I am sanding back and killing slowly) she has 200k on the clock and is stupid clean apart from a few scrapes. Got it to teach my GF to drive in and for something to tinker on. Had a KE70 in my late teens that was full of rust (only cost me a 12pack of beer though haha) Haven't had a 4AC since my 88 corolla hatchback (ae92) think you call them seca's over here. Just getting it ready for a rwc atm Things to do are replace a cracked steering boot and the drivers seatbelt (new boots on the way and I have a spare belt, will send the orginal one to be refurbished) Ha…

Hi, My name is Josh or Funwithsmexy as i go by on my gaming youtube channel. And this is my ke70 project I did have another project thread but i thought I'd remake it as this is a different car :D If you live in Perth and you go on car cruises i would say you have seen this car as I got to neally all of them every week :D (love the attention ke70's get.) So lets start off by when my other corrolla got yellowed I decided i would buy another if I had the chance. And guess what i found on gumtree :D No back window roof lining ʞ©$ɟed Rust in rear wheel wells ofc :*( rust in boot :*( but wait its a XX model Rev Guage :D Picked the little be…

I need A engine swap kit for a AE86 2JZ conversion please contact me to make the arrangements to buy it thanks.

hi all I bought this ke70 5 years ago thinking it was the best thing out. it had a ca18det with with 4424 ems stinger ecu, 044 bosche, forged pistons ,stock rods, rb20 turbo , fuel reg, 1000cc injectors, front mount 600x400, stock radiator, stock coilpacks, stainless low mount exhaust mani, shity 3 inch exhaust with cat and cannon, ca18det gear box, 1 piece drive shaft, locked f series tarago diff, white interior and that's pretty much it. owning many of these cars before I had always wanted a fast one. just coming out of the mines all cashed up with 10k to blow I stupidly rushed into buying it. when I test drove it the guy had it on 25 plus psi lol. so you cou…

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 there, on 1/05/2015 I bought my first ke70 for 1k Came with rb20det aswell which i sold for 450 regoed :D This car had a fair bit of issues. Epic JDM slammed stance look that everybody loves c: well aleast people did on car curises did.

Long list c: guess the car wasn't too low ? lol Also tint to dark my ass lol Sa…

Hey everyone, though id do a build thread of my ke project, maybe get some advice along the way and get more involved in the community Building it for drift use only, not engineering it for roadworthy purposes Bought it fairly stock, had an s13 front suspension and coilovers and that was it First thing i did was remove the diff centre to weld, got it all welded up but unfortuantly broke on of the spacers between the diff bearing and the housing trying to get it back in Had a real hard time trying to find one to replace it, decided to buy a mates vl commodore that was in a front end crash for $100 for the read end, got the mounts welded onto it and went i…

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…

So i've been into datsuns for a few years now and finally bought a car i been after for about 3 years. 71 corolla 2 door wagon. With a 13b streetport swap with racing beat header, intake, and holley 460 tuned by racingbeat. I picked it up yesterday and have already cleaned it out and got it started. Its been sitting ten years. Hopefully should be drive able by next monday. :) Well here she is. I like to post many pics. Hopefully you guys don't mind. Just throwing this out there. These are my 2 521's ive had for a while. can't wait to get this rolla back on the road. :)

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 all.. Just finished mounting an AE86 front bar to my KE70 over the weekend Let me know what you think Cheers

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. …

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

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 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…

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…

Hi folks, I have been following this forum for quite some time;& realized that I should also post some pics of my KE70 from UAE. A long way to go ... but slowly it has started taking shape, currently running on 3s beams with 6 speed tranny & locked Diff. comments are welcomed.

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

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 …

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 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…

Hi guys! Picked this little beauty up tuesday night. It's a standard 1981 KE70 panel van called Henry :yes: I am the second owner! It has 250k on the clock but engine and gearbox were rebuilt about 80k ago. Drives well. It has a straight body but has a little rust in some areas. Interior needs a bit of work. I used to see this around my house a lot and one day, a few years ago, I pulled up next to it at the servo so I asked the bloke if he would sell, he said he wasn't selling yet but took my number anyway. Then recently, he and his wife contacted me saying they were looking to sell, so I went and had a look. So glad I did! Really nice people and was pleased with…
