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

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…

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…

Hi guys, I'm new here so I thought I would show you my new project.It's an 84 ke70 wagon (high top) I purchased it for $475 off a young lad who only owned it for a mounth and brought it off an elderly gentleman who turns out to be the original owner and to my supprise it's never left the town I live in.It was purchased new in 84 at nambucca heads toyota which is now a nersery and was driven around this town by the elderly gentleman up until augaust 2012.It has a bit off rust but the body is really straight and only has 143000 klms on the clock also has the blue interior (I'm not a fan of the brown one).So here are a few pics of the old girl.future plans atm are some watan…

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.

just bought a ke70 5sp for a bargain $200, he says it needs a new carby and booster, the breaks still work just very bad, (have to push all the way in with alot of pressure to work at all), would it be the booster or something else? also would a boss kit for an ae86 fit? and would the strut bars from ae86 bolt straight in?

hey rolla clubbers, basically going to do the good old sr20 ke70, but I'm going a highly modifed sr20de, the car itself i bought for $300 running, pretty weak condition. the motor is out of my brothers s13 as we went the DET conversion for him. mods on the motor : s14 blacktop non vvti, 800kms old since rebuild. : lighten flywheel, light weight pulley kit. : 550cc injectors, 8mm leads, : polished plenum, bigger TB. : cp forged pistons, eagle beam forged rods, knife edged crankshaft, turbo oil squirters, turbo block, turbo head. : shaved head, .30 thou, ported, : HKS 265/264 cams, valve springs retainers. pretty quick and tourqey engine. can easily bolt turbo ma…

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.

Recently i have bought a 1984 cs ke70, i bought it off a nice 94 year lady :) so she had not been much of a daily driver, the car only had 45,500 km's when i bought it. garaged its whole life so the cars paint, interior, roof lining, chrome and anything you can think off was all in overrated condition. And i have a lot of plans for it :) let me know what you think :)

Hey guys :) So I'm here to post about my new ke70 corolla! I'll attach photos of my progress, so far only had her for about 2 months, in-love already!! She's got 220 000ks not bad for her age ('83). Had a few carby problems with dirt stuck in the carby. Recently had the exhaust fixed due to two leaks and a new fuel pump installed. It's a slow progress which I'm looking forward to the end result :) Any tips or help is muchly welcomed as I'm new to this type of car.

G'day, I own a '84 KE70 and want to start to do it up a bit. I don't know where to start. Anyone got any advice or tips on what to modify or what not? Anything would be brilliant. Cheers!

Hi! Let me introduce myself first: i'm Ricardo, 24 and i live in the Netherlands. Took a while but i finally bought a rwd Toyota (Pretty rare over here and the most that are for sale are expensive). The previous owner started to pulling the car appart and removed almost all of the rust. But because of personal reasons he couldn't finish it. The car before it was taken appart: And how it looked when i bought it: Some of the new parts that i got with the car: And the rest of the parts: Have enough plans for it but first i want the car back on the road as fast as possible because i don…

1984 Corolla Sedan To do list: - Rebuild and prepare RX-7 calipers - Build and prepare front suspension - Rebuild rear brakes and suspension - Polish wheels / new tyres / locknuts - Acquire and install engine package - New seat - New radiator This is to keep track of where I am in the build. Slow and steady.

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 …

Gday all. First time starting a topic and only due to being in a tight situation... Purchased the vehicle as is, unregistered. Running a 1G-GZE. Highly modified all round, diff, brakes, seating, gearbox, supercharger, intercooler etc. Checked the mod plate when getting it roadworthied and noticed no mod code for engine change... Bugger. Got codes for all above mentioned mods. Does anyone know if this engine can legally be shoehorned into this vehicle? I will try to get some pics loaded up, but really just want to know if I will be able to register it as a daily driver? I'm in QLD. Thanks!

Hey guys this is my Ke70 Gonna get stuck into it over the next couple of weeks little bits of rust here n there but pretty clean. I want to respray it bayside blue and get quad lights and wheels. also have a 12A rotary just hanging around so ill probably throw it in there

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

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 guys, my names Chris Smith. I am 16 and this is my panel van. its a litte rough around the edges, well lot. theres alot of problems with it, like the diff is gone. they guy says it has a locker in it but i have a feeling its been welded. its got the 4k in it with a 5 speed. ummm I'm not to good with words so i think ill let the pictures do the talking. THINGS TO DO to fix up all the body work repaint either baby blue, peppermint green or skye blue fix up the inside of it fix all the little problems with the engine fix the diff repaint rims and just what ever else that needs to be done I'm still trying to find another pair of these if any one can h…

Sold but still in my heart. when bought fixing rust quick coat of black spray cans a beauty shot fixing those bonnet dents *shakes fist* slowly turning into more parts than car as i get kinda anal about doing it up. One thing leads to another. fitting new carpet which ended up in stripping all the trim so I could paint it. God knows what ill do to the seats now they are out.. brand new shmick tail lights. Imported from Malaysia i think. Repco only had left ones! These came with bulb holders and everything. Was awesome deal and, as the proverbial budgie says, Cheep. Yeah so thats a few of the many pics so far. Didnt wanna overload my first po…

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…
