SA / Adelaide

Hey, I have a car shell down in the Lonsdale region that needs to be moved up to my shed in Eudunda. The owner has a trailer that can be used however has no towbars or cars that are able to tow at the moment. As I'm currently in year 12 with work on the weekends 10-2 it also means that I'm unable to really get down there and back. So I am after any Expressions Of interest for someone probably down near that area (the trailer has to be returned after) with a vehicle that's able to tow a car trailer and feels like a nice daytrip cruise. I'm able to pay for the fuel and a bit extra (maybe a case and $50, neg.). Not sure of when it would need to happen, have to ar…

So back on '07, Valandor and I had an idea that we'll make a tally for those who attend events in the SA region. If people were happy to put in 5 bucks each, there was going to be an award or trophy for the most active member for 2007. Conditions: For a person to be eligible, they'd have to sign up on the sign-in sheet, drive the cruise and/or attend the event afterwards (if one is planned). Not many were keen on the idea as the tally below shows. Anyway, tally is as follows: Raven (RL) - 1 Valandor (RL) - 1 Robert - 1 Flippen_Crazy - 1 Soulsearcher - 1 CD_Rollaman - 1 **chump** - 1 ToDa30/4 - 1 So Jono was nice enough to reignite this t…

looking at getting extractors and exhaust to under passenger seat where there is already a system! anyone know any good cheap exhaust shops? best quote ive got is 380 fitted and connected to exhaust! seems reasonable but thought id ask.

Hey guys, I'm looking for some extractors for my 4k and thought i'd wack something up here to see if anyone knows and good places to buy some? Did some ringing around and the cheapest i've got so far is $195 ("Aussie Discount Mufflers" on Port Rd), and that was a twister brand or something? others wanted $300, some about $200. Anyone recommend a decent place where i can get some for a decent price? Cheers! :jamie:

It has a Pioneer sound system as well. Tasmainian number plate, ES-9530. It also has a 20V blacktop, crunchy 3rd gear and loud fuel pump. If you see it or anything similar please call me 0431 110 112. Cheers Adam

hi all, I put another engine in my Rolla but can't get it running properly, it starts up but when I go to turn it off it keeps running and the only way to stop it is to drop the clutch. Anyone got any suggestions, or willing to help/have a look at it for me? I live in Salisbury Heights. I haven't driven it on the road yet so I don't know how it goes.

Hey guys Looking to find a Toyota dealer who has someone working at the spare parts desk that won't give me the over 10 years it's too old treatment. I know very well Toyota still stock old mechanical parts and any old car parts can be had from Toyota Japan. Would like to know if anyone knows a good spare parts dealer to deal with or works there. Thanks Tally

Anyone know any good wreckers in the south of Adelaide? Anywhere with Toyota parts of course ^_^

Hey guys id like to have my grill and tail lights on my KE25 cleaned up by a proffesional and painted the same as the folling KE25. If anyone knows of anyone who can do the job that would be great! Cheers Tally

I'm looking at investing in a guard roller. Wondering if people would wanna hire it out for a small fee. Probably like 10 bucks a day. And rules if you break you buy no excuses and if I don't know you a 50 dollar deposit which would be given back on safe return of the tool. Just seeing who would be interested before I buy it cheers! http://www.toymods.org.au/forums/showthread.php?26928-HowTo-Roll-guards-with-a-guard-roller It's like that. Cheers Abbott. Ps this is just a maybe and might fall through if lack of interest

Hey guys i need my front and rear guards rolled on my RA23 for when i lower it. Can anyone recommend anywhere? Cheap is good :wub: but i also want a good job done. EDIT: After doing some research into this it seems Joe at Wheel Worx is the man to see, hes done my supra before and done a fantastic job but he charges for it these days. $300 for all guards rolled! Ill see if you guys have any more suggestions if not ill go there.

anyone keen on cruising next Sunday morning? Its an early one at 430am newton target, heading to Mannum, they have a fb page, will upload the info if I can get to a computer

Hi guys, I'm wondering if anyone on here ended up with either of these two cars... They were both sold from the Barossa Valley * The KE11 because i just want to know if it's still around - I have many fond memories of that car! I miss it :hmm: * The KE20 because it is still registered in my name after 6 years... Scanned photos so I apologise for picture quality The KE11 It was a white KE11, number plate RBK 537. It had a 4K, chrome mazda RX4 wheels, tacho dash, black interior and a small chrome exhaust tip. The body was pretty rough but i don't remember it having heaps of rust... I sold it roughly in 1998 or 99 to a guy who lived up in Happy Valley i thin…

hey guys well as I'm struggling to find a 5k head i was just wondering if anyone knows anywhere that does head repairs at a good price and does a good job? also if anyone on here has the skills and facilities to do repairs that would be awesome! any help is appreciated! cheers tom.

Just a heads up for people who may be interested. Toyoland is closing down at the end of the month, so if ya want a bargain head up there I'm sure you'll get cheaper saves them selling even cheaper to another wreckers.

howdy rAdelaidians, i'm heading over to the hottest place on earth to catch soundwave. however i've left my planning a bit late, and have discovered that just about all the hotels are booked out due to Clipsal being the same weekend. does anyone have a couch or a foam mattress i can call my own for the friday and/or saturday night? i land at 9pm on friday night, so probably won't be greeting the lucky one/s til 9:30/10pm. something near the venue would be best (NW cbd), but anything is better than $400 a night. cheers Tate

Hey fellow Adelaide Rolla owners, I'm Tyler and I have a KE55 2 Door Coupe and would like to do it up to be a nice little speed machine that looks the part as well. Firstly, I would love to have the chance to see a few done up corollas in the metal so I can stick my head in the engine bay and know what people are talking about when they say extractors, webber something, head, etc. Second, I would like to get a rough plan drawn up on what i would like to do to my car engine/body wise. Third, I would love someone to help me along the way and guide me through all the stuff and help me install this and pain that (and be paid for helping of course) The thing i…

Hey guys, so i just bought a ke30 supercharged off here (f@$k yeah! :P), but unfortunately i am not allowed to drive supercharged cars under the new p's laws, so i'm going to make it look and sound as granny as possible so that there is no reason for them to even check under the bonnet. At the moment it has a 2" straight through exhaust welded to the extractors, which doesn't help when you're trying to be inconspicuos lol, so i want to put a stock exhaust back on. I'm not good with cutting and welding and what not, so if anyone could get the thing off and put a stock one on they can keep the big straight pipe as payment for their hard work :) Also, if anyone has a sto…

hey guys, so i was reading up on the p plate laws. my ke has extractors and a 32/36 this is a breach in the laws. I'm kinda stressing about if i drive it and get pulled over and they see i have these i will most likely lose demerit points. and then i don't get my full license until I'm like 21 or some thing. am i stressing to much? i was thinking about trying to get a exemption but i don't see that happening. any help, info or suggestions would be great thanks

Hey, I am planning on putting my ke38 on historic rego. This means I have to be member of a 'recognised car club' of South Australia. Unfortunately I don't think rolla club is one. I have found a few which are and they range in price and are for various car types. But as far as I can see there is none for corollas or old toyotas or anything that has anything to do with my car. So far I am looking at the Sporting Car Club of SA but they are three times as expensive as other clubs I have found. Can anyone suggest a recognised club suitable for an old corolla? There must be someone here who has their car on historic rego... Cheers Chris

Just wondering how you SA people found Rolla club. i know personally i found it by accident when i was searching for was to modify body kits and stick em on a ke70 if you saw a sticker post it up

Hey all just wanted to show off my new wheels, I got them on Saturday. Propprer chuffed :(

G'day all I scored a free ke55 today! what a wonderful machine it is, and hey, you can't get better value than free! This is my first corolla, i've been looking around for one for a while, and when this one came up as FREE i jumped on it. So far it has cost me a train ride over to alberton to pick it up, and a favour from a friend to borrow an old battery to get it started. Good stuff: - 4kc 1.2L sedan, manual - Odo says 315,000 kms - starts and runs first time, even in this cold weather - Even has the original owners handbook, logbook and service book! Naturally, it has had a pre-sale inspection, and nothing more ever logged - All lights, horn, and the radi…

sorry
