Rollaclub Rides

Thought it about time I re did the old girl again. Last time was over 20 years ago. This time I'm going down a different path from last time. Previously it was a fully worked 3k and 4 speed that was a real lot of fun. Embarrassed a few V8 Torana's in its day. Now I want Reliability and simple auto driving. And also passing on to my son once on his P's Later this year. Also cleaning up the rust and fitting either a 4ac or 4AGE with a 3 speed auto. Mods apart from that will include KE30 rear diff and AE71 Front brakes on KE30 Hubs. + Sigma GSR 14" Alloys. Also going to try and fit air conditioning while I'm at it. I have sourced a complete AE82 Seca for a donar…

I was doing ablog but i decided to can that and put it here where it shoudl be.... Hey alll. Ive had this car for a while and have been deciding weather or not to spend time and money on it when i have a silvia that is already pretty quick. Ive finally decided to give it a crack and see how i go. Started with: 4k-c 4speed manual noisy as hell diff and gearbox electronic fuel pump Planning to build a car that will be good for motorkhanas and maybe khanacross see how it goes Gonna stick with 4k, mostly just recondition everything nothing too crazy. Mayb cam grind Have a set of extractors to fit - DONE 2" system from extractors to back - DONE Weber 32/36 -…

hello ladies and gent. i recently decided that a ca18 ke70 panel van project was just to big for my first project. instead i bought the ke70 off my girlfriend. the big ends are stuffed so with the help of nathan the guch mechanic I'm gonna fully rebuild and work the 4k. its a sexy biege 82 sedan, its about 80% rust free, with only two little cracks in the dash, and the bonnet and left fender have tiny little dents in them, so its prity much in awesome condition. I'm gona b doin a detalied pik blog type thing on here. i just wanna see if i can do it. anyway. heres some pics when i got it.... oh yeah thats some sexy shit. mmmmm mismatch rims.

My IP car is nearly finished and I thought I would post a few pics of the car. I got the car late last year off KE25 Racer off here. I have installed the Blacktop, modded the brake and clutch pedal, redid the struts for more travel and Koni yellow inserts. Had the whole car rewired and had the engine bay, interior and boot resprayed. Still have the body to go. The car specs are CAR: Toyota Corolla # 25 WEIGHT: 800kgs ENGINE: 4AGE 20 Valve Black Top OUTPUT: 185hp at the flywheel FUEL TANK: Standard with a surge tank BRAKES: Front - Nissan Gazelle Rotors with JFZ 4 spot calipers Rear - Mazda Rotors with Mazda 1 spot calipers TYRES: 3J Improved Pro…

Well, I'm at it again. With the introduction of the Evo 2 Corolla, sadly the original car just doesn't cut it anymore. :( Don't get me wrong, it goes competently enough for what it is, but I have stumbled upon an opportunity to have the car I've always wanted. A week and a half ago I purchased for the right price an ex-hillclimb KE20 with a 2TG, T50 and a Celica diff. I now intend to build a TE27 Replica. Why do this when I already have a TE37 replica? Because I can. :) So, now after 15 years of ownership, I'm now enbarking on the 4th serious rebuild of the car. First stop is to strip the 20 of all it's goods. Engine came out today (88222 head on it)…

I just thought id stick my rolla into the Projects section. Most of you have seen it. But now its finally hit the track and will become a track car. on this page you can see I'm Famous already Bottom right. Here is its first track day captured by a pro. I think i did alright for my first time and on standard street rubber. I bought these 3 days later for the next run in a few weeks, the the other tires where too scary. 6 new tires and 8 spitfire2 rims for $600 how cheap it that:). These tires are around $220 each. I just couldnt pass them up. These rim/tire combo stick out around 1.5 inches out of the front guards so a set of bolt on guards are coming too…

hey all I first bought my ke55 off ebay, it had: -a new blood orange paint job -2" lowering blocks -no engine -no locks -no side windows -half a loom The plan was to have a nice ke55 daily driver that was nice to look at and reliable. I decided to keep the stock interior just tidy it up a little with reapolstering the seats in black, new black carpet, new black headliner. I have bought 6 new auto meter guages which i am making a new gauge cluster out of. The gauges include: -Speedo -Tahco -Water Temp -Fuel Level -Oil press -Volts I am also taking out the ignition and replacing it with a switch for accessories, a switch for reds an…

Bought this about 2 months ago, gave wash and wax today. Took some photos thought i will share them with you guys. It was a 1 owner, 180,000 kms on the clock no rust,drives so tight. I think its a nice find. And a couple of pics of my ke20.

hey guys,just scored this nice ke70.clean as except for a bit of cancer.i saw this on the way home from the shops, it said best offer on the window so i offered alot less that what i thought it was worth they took it SCORE.don't know what mods i want i need time to think about it ive only owned the car for 8 hours now. there is a bit of rust, thats what i want to get fixed first. :)

Hay guys just got my new 26 wagon. It's a one owner log book car with a genuine 37000kms on the clock. It's completely standard with near perfect paint and interior. The only two things the old fella changed were the hub caps and steering wheel (wich are genuine Celica) I will be parting with these if anyone is interested. Plans for the wagon are to leave the paint and interior as is. I was going to do a rotary but we already have one of these going around so I will be building a fj20 with a manual for it. Keep you all posted with pics threw out. I hope you enjoy.

Hey all, I'm pretty new to this site but have got alot of valuable info from some of the build ups on here, so I thought I'd do a build up topic if my own.... Here goes, It's a matt black 69 ke10 (my second rolla ive owned to a ke35), when I got it it had a 4k with a 5speed. I had it regoed for 2 days and I torn the g/box mount in half and broke a axle lol. So I started pulling it apart with the intention replace the g/box mount and fix up the diff and use it as a daily for a few months... Insted the engine, box and most of the interior came out.... So I found a fresh 12a Bridgeport and rx5 box on ausrotary so I grabed it and a few other bits and peices. T…

Hello, This a rare model in France and maybe in some others countries in Europe or worldwide. My ride was first bought in Swiss in 1977 by a lady who live there in Valais county. Then she moved to south of France area in 1980. The car is powered by the 3kh engine, manual stick with 4 speed. It's full option (vinyl roof, alloy rims for example) and was not sold in France with those equipment, even if the appellation the same, some details are not. I found it on Le Bon Coin website (Craig list like for France) and was sold € 2000,00 ( US $ 1700,00 approx.) I came from Paris to south by train and drive back home on 1st December 2012. Weather was windy in south area an…

I bought this car from Nick in Nuriopta in SA's, the pics seem to have dissapeared but here's the thread link: (Cheers KJ for posting it up) http://www.rollaclub.com/board/index.php?showtopic=9118 here it is now: Photo taken atop Cradle Mt. on Wednesday the 15th of Novemeber on my way to Queenstown, tasmania. Just for the record: 1968 Toyota Corona RT40 sedan seating for 6 now black with fender mirrors 52,500mils on the clock 2speed toyoglide automatic transmission, coupled to the 1500cc 2R engine The engine Didn't miss a beat on the 1000+km journey, just was a little slow up the mountains, and has a top speed of ~120km/h on the flat. The only i…

hi guys , just thought i would start a new thread since i have brought a new ke70, atm as it sits it a ke70 spirit with a rebuilt 16 big port 4age, quad light front , is getting resprayed red or fridge white haven't decided as yet , future plans are coilovers, 15x8" wheels of some breed , chrome dx bars , fender mirrors, and flares , will upload pics soon

Hey guys, Here is my latest purchase! A 1987 Toyota AW11 SC with an SC14 fitted. I picked it up for the bargain price of $1,500 because the previous owner was desperate to get rid of it for some more shed space! I had been looking for another fun car to use for hills work and weekend motorsport for sometime. The idea was to get something that was almost ready to go and required very little work, as I still want to keep modding the KE20. Like every other young drift-boy in Melbourne I had been looking at R32s and 180s, but it became increasingly hard to find one that had not been thrashed or was a little dodgy! Also both of these cars were really not me.. After r…

Hey all, this is my Ke26 panel-van as I got it, My plans are to run a 4age setup with a T series driveline, ae86 coilovers, IRS conversion. The whole idea behind this build is to be able to drive it to the track, race it and drive it home. Planning on fabricating some bracing throughout the body as she is a loose old girl. This is my first progress post, almost finished stripping the car, already started ordering parts for the 4age conversion ( Jordanrolla 4age kit ) TE27 steering arms for ae86 suspension, all new bolts, ke27 front grille and bezels

bad things happen when i get bored, i have a yn85r hilux as my run around to pick up parts and so on and have been driving it a fair bit lately so ive had boost withdrawals from not driving the cressida. so i bought a wrx standard turbo off a mate for $100 and I'm going to do a blow through weber carby set up. i spent today doing half of the job so all i really have to do is make a J pipe for the turbo, exhaust and boost pipe. ive done as much as i can so its still drivable and will try do the rest next weekend. first thing i did was pull the sump off and weld a fitting in for the oil drain then i pulled dissy apart and drilled two holes and put screws in to st…

Hey guys, this is my second corolla! I love them so much! anyways got this for 700 USD and have been putting more into it since! here is a before and after shot. I had a whole thing on 3tcgarage... but that is down at the moment:/ thats about it!

Hi Peoples, So I've been building my KE70 for AGES and I finally got sick of it. I HATE bodywork so I've scrapped my old KE70 and here I stand. My all new South African TE71 with Rego just gotta get a roadworthy and change of name then in goes the 4AGE. From the outside she's just your plain old slanty front KE70 except with short bumpers and no black strip between the tailights. Inside and underneath it all its gets very exciting!!! How about some CRAZY South African seats!!! Annnndddddd!!!! A 2T!!! This thing goes pretty darn good and its only a 3 speed auto! It would easily smash any stock 5 speed 4K as it keeps up with my GF's 2002 2.0L…

hey all! my names dan and I'm 17, living on the Gold Coast. I got this ke70 from brisbane about 2 weeks ago.. and plan to do a bit to it.. so i thought i would do a build thread first off, its a 1983 model ke70 with a 5k & 5 speed conversion Gt shocks weber carby extractors 2 1/4" exhaust first off, driving it home from brisbane the throttle return spring snapped, so i put a zip tie to hold it in place till i got home also, on the drive home.. no matter how loud i turned the radio, i just couldnt hear it so i went out and got some new 6x9 speakers also

hey all, i bought this corolla 2 months ago, :( the story is that an old lady owned it up until 4 months ago when a student bought it while his 4WD was getting fixed, it's done genuine 102000 k's and i payed 1200 for it and spent 150 on bog and other assorted items to make it look "road worthy" for the cops. :bash: i think it is worth the $1350 whats your opinion??: :hmm: got some tar remover for behind the front wheels front view only 2 mini dents on bonnet rear wheel arch bogged and painted, these my new rims i got off another ke70 Neat rear end w/no dings :)

Hey guys, finally got my backside into another Corolla - turns out almost 4 years is too long not to have one. It's a 1975 2 Door, 4K, 5 Speed, and a Jap 4.3 diff. Going to change some things in time to come. So far replaced the carburettor, the spark plug tube O rings, gave it a bit of a tune up. Runs a little better. Off now to replace the gasket on the back of the head its dripping coolant, replace the spark plugs, change the thermostat. And another re-tune.

Dropped of my KE 17 to have the 7K installed. The shop doing the work is usually busy working on other more exotic and expensive racers. They've already done all the sump clearance measurements so as to get the engine as low down as they can, its also being uprighted a little to give the twin webers more room. They're also building some extractors for it, all of the shelf items are made for smaller capacity engines and are a little small in pipe diameter.

hello!my name is runar and i come from norway. this is my ride that have had some changes this summer:) when i started new engine.bmw m50b25 ìt has 193hp original engine fits good so far so good the original rear aksel didn`t like the new engine so i build a volvo aksel but it didn`t stop ther it`s between 300-350hp in the engine now..realy funny car too now:) i had to paint it to

Can't believe our luck! My brother just bought a ke10 as a project for us. Its a ke10-B, an update 10, with ke11 dash, but still just a K. Apparantly this car spent time in Tokyo, before being inported into Aus. (Has got AMI badges tho) Lived in Darwin, survived cyclone Tracy, although a tree went thru the windscreen and smashed up the dash. Then was shipped to Adelaide, before coming to canberra about 25 years ago. We spotted this car no more then 500 meters from mum and dads house, out front, under a gum tree. The owers were going to sent it to the crusher, we saved it with only a few days to spare! AND we got it for $200!!!!!!!!!! This is about all t…

Gents, The gentlemen I bought it off is a shade under 60, and bought the car brand new, off the showroom floor back in 1983. It has been garaged all its life, and driven to and from the shops. It has 200,000kms which works out to be around 6800kms a year! Comes with original log books, and a full service history. It has had a bit of rust in the past, but the gentlemen I am purchasing off actually took it to a shop, got the rust cut out, and new metal welded in. PICS: Current Plans for the car are as follows: - Full wash, claybar, polish and wax - Interior Shampoo + Steam Cleaning - Engine bay degrease + pulling out parts and re…

well as things have finally worked themselves out, i'll be taking hold of a 5K in the next few week, i just need to pick it up. :D the 3K in my 20 has nothing wrong with it, but i feel she needs some more oomph. the obvious choice would be putting the 5K into the 20, but $-wise it isn't so great. so after some very quick thinking i will be putting the 5K into my 55, along with a k50 box i just pulled out from the parts car. now i'll be left with a mechanically sound 4K and 4spd box, and it'd be a waste to see it sitting in the shed for any lengths of time, so i will be putting it into my 20. the only thing i can think of not fitting are the gear-stick hole, a…

Me and my mate bought a AE92 with 4agze from Canberra. We touched up the paint Took the interior out bolted in some coil overs Went for some new rotors and took it to Wakefield 2 weeks later. Next we had a cage built and welded in bought a new cobra seat and a sports steering wheel Put on a full set of mags and took it Winton This is how it looks bogged at Winton (my son not used to no ABS) Still a few more things to tidy up on it but its coming along well and it sits at home next to our AE82.

Hi Guys, I've been loving the RollaClub community and advice from memebers and the forums. I thought its about time I post some pics of my KE20 project. The project started in 2003 when I removed the 3k, rebuilt a 4k and slapped it in. Also locked the diff and started the body work. For some reason in about 2005 life got to busy and didn't have much time for the beast, so it got moved into storage. 4 years later, missing the urge to go sideways now driving everyday lancer wagon, :dance: the corolla pasion has sprung back into gear and the car has come out of storage. :S

Hey Rollaclub! Here's another project I have bitten off. While looking for a coupe I came across this buff coloured sedan on eBay. Of course the nature of eBay is that sometimes you bid and end up owning things you didn't intend to. I really wanted a coupe! This is a relatively low mileage sadan (167,000km) that IMO just needed some loving. The previous owner fitted a new clutch and rear main seal, then got bored of it before he put it back together. As such, some assembly was required before I even knew it would run. But run it does, very nicely thankyou. Here's when I got it; I started tinkering. It really just needs a 30 year service! So I pu…

After a year of purchasing it for $1000 finally started working on the project. Basically it is a granny spec 1982 XX model Ke70 running a 4K with a filthy auto. Has some shitty GL model tailights from Thailand atm (have some proper genuine Toyota GL tailights coming :dance: ) The engine bay at the moment Started on the 'ke70 rust spots'. Picture below showing someones awesome rust repair job with a whole heap of bog :bash: Some of the rust removal progress Plans: Paint-not 100% sure just yet but something dark and sinister like black or r33 gtr midnight purple Exterior- Quad lights, chrome bars, fender mirrors, Madhouse lip, maybe bolt on flare…

This post is dedicated to Box Corollas. (KE70/TE71/DX/L/GL/GLS,etc) I met this guy named Frank Oliver, he started the Box Toyota club in the 90's( not sure when can't think now on the top of my head.) The club ranges from box front, slant front, and lift back rear wheel drive Toyotas. The progression of the club is determined by the crowd it attracts and the passion they have for these cars. So far they have ventured to events around the Cape, even stretching up as far as Atlantis, Bredarsdorp, Ceres and Worcester. Members from all over the Cape have united, and the love for these cars are every growing. The club is ever growing, and is slowly starting to get …
