Rollaclub Rides

Hi! I am Jam Samonte.. Thanks to the Rolla Moderators for accepting my membership and I'm proud to be ONE of the newest member of the ROLLA CLUB.. I am from the PHILIPPINES and I have this 1976 COROLLA 2dr U.S. Version which I have just restored after a year and 4 months! I bought the 1976 TE31 (U.S. Version of the KE3O at Clark Air Base, Angeles City the former U.S. Military Base) from a 64 year old man who lives in the City. The car was near to obselecence when I bought it (general body repair and re-painting needed was needed plus major items like the bumpers/ grilles were gone) but did'nt lose hope.. (Patience and a lot of work was all I need). Good thi…

Hey all. Gribble here from Sydney. Just thought id share some info on my little Rally Project I'm currently building. Its going to be a fairly straight forward KE70, 4k, 5 speed, totally stripped interior, bilstein shocks, adm ae86 brakes, cage, seats, harnesses etc etc. Nice and simple for a starter. So far ive gotten the shell totally stripped down, I have removed the sound deadening from the interior and 90% of the crap tar stuff from underneath. Ive begun to stitch the chassis seams together to gain some torsional rigidity. Next step is to do the seat mountings and the cage. PICS! Ok ive finally uploaded some pics of the build. Here goes..... This …

Hi everyone! So i have finally got myself another corolla and this one is in just as much need of work as what my ke20 was! most of the work on this one is going to be rust repair... i spent the last 2 days cleaning up all the stuff i didnt like about it and am quite happy with the results so far. changed the seats back to stock ones that will eventually be re-upholstered. I also replaced the after market steering wheel with a stock one. removed about 20 metres of unnecessary wiring out of the car, remnants of an alarm system and a stereo system and some other stuff! had to clean up the extra gauges as well and the steering column surround had a bunch of holes d…

Hi Guys, I've had this posted on 3TC however, I may be more at home here. I'll start moving my posts over slowly. In March of 2014 I finally found a candidate to build. I was actually hoping for a TE27 but was very happy when I found this straight and complete clean title TE21 in Sacramento. Drove the hour and fifteen to meet my cousin and we headed to meet the seller at STS (Santo Toy Shop) in Sac. After looking over the car and a few test drives, we agreed on the price and completed the deal. Got it home safely after a careful hour and a half drive home in the rain. The cut front springs and the steering box made for quite the intense trip home lol …

Well it has finally happened, today I went and picked up the sedan that I have been contacting the owner about for 6 months, here is a basic run down of the car. 1985 CSX 5spd sedan. 268,xxxk's (somewhere there, didn't really take much notice). Full logbook service history from day one. The wife of the couple I got it from had it from 17 as her 1st car and had it for the last 11 years, from what I can see she was the 2nd owner. Pic of when I went and looked at the car (shitty phone pic): Pic of when I got it to my dads, excuse the pics, Mrs obviously doesn't know what take a pic of the car means: Here is a pic of it after I stuck the twincam s…

Hey all, I was at Vic Roads the other day registering my new engine number and came across some older bloke that was admiring my rolla. He told me that his neighbour on a farm had a KE20 that was gonna get taken away by a wreckers. I went to take a look at this car and couldnt bare to see it stripped or turned into a VB can so i bought it lol. Now it needs heaps of work done. Needs a few new panels and tail lights so I'm gonna need the assistance of u guys to help me find some parts. Anyway I'm sure i can get it lookin awesome. Let me know what yas think.

I felt bad that I joined up just to look for a car for my Girlfriend, so I thought I'd start a thread on the car that made my Girl love Toyota's. She's an RA40 with an 18RC, I bought her probably 20 months ago now. I new nothing about cars, I saw them as an object to get from A to B... It's amazing how much I have changed my perspective on cars in those 20 months. I've rebuilt the engine and done a few modifications to my car that make people wonder. Well, here she is when I first bought her. Here's what she looked like after a month of having her. I used tyre shine on the rubber bumpers every weekend, and I polished her once a month =P and …

Greeting. My Corolla KE70, have been riding this for 4 years.

'75 KE30 The day i bought it Our first day at work Lets see so far the specs on it are Extractors 2" exhaust rear louvres and two speed auto (slow and slower) Plans for it after we come back from Wagga are swapping out the auto for either the trimatic from a '55 or a 5 speed manual. Its a tough choice cause i'm loving the lazy man's car. Upgrading the front end with T-18 struts and either twin the sway bar or a thicker one Stiffen the arse end. Either re-build the 4k i have sitting in the garage or swap in the 2t-g (just need a 'box for it) Or some where down the track swap in a 1.3lt from a different pedigree of manufacture. …

Howdy folks... Well, it's been a while since I posted last, but this should make up for it... Presenting, my new acquisition...

Well seeing as how I'm not the kinda guy that is used to posting online on forums I'm not sure how this build thread will turn out i will try and keep it short and simple. i like looking through other peoples so i thought id contribute Car: Ke70 Year: 1984 Originally yellow When i bought it, No rego, welded diff, bald rear tyres, 430,000ks, speedo didnt work, was miss match matte black had 14" cheviots on the front sprayed orange the motor wasnt idling properly the timing was out it had some rust and dents, one fender mirror, drivers side bucket seat would retract on you and slide backwards, along with no carpet a gay steering wheel, a broken rear exhaust bracket. …

My name is Luke and I have an AE71. Here are some pics of how she started in life. She was delivered from Toyota as a stock auto AE71. She has done some 140,000 k’s before the head decided it was enough and blew it’s stack. I have since decided to replace the engine with a 20 Valve 4AGE. It will also be converted to manual at the same time. All parts have been acquired, all that is required now is some more motivation and maybe some spare time on the weekends. Anyway, pics. I will post more pics as this thing progresses. I would say it is about another month or so away from the road, purely due to funds shortage. To those of you who are wondering ab…

Some of you may remember me, I spent a lot of time here when i was in my mid-teens. It's been a couple of years since I've had a Corolla, but since then I've branched out into bigger and better things. In particular an RT72 Corona, which is being handed down to me by my dad's uncle. So I've spent the last 12 months or so researching the car, trying to find parts. Which has turned out to be quite a difficult task, considering finding information alone is hard enough. Luckily for me, I was lucky enough one day to come across a complete car that had been sitting in a paddock for 20 years. Here are some teaser pics of the paddock car as I actually haven't got any pictures of …

Hello everyone. I recently picked up a 92 AE94. It's been quite a while since I've had a toy. Had an 88 alltrac celica 20 years ago. I've been running hondas for the past decade. Looking forward to chatting with everyone, and I apologize if this is the wrong place for a greet post. I only use my phone for the internet, and it's hard sometimes with new sites.

Hi, I have been reading Rollaclub threads and buying off the forum for a few years now, so I thought I'd see what you guys thought of my little weekend toy. It is a 74 Ke20 sedan. I bought it with a crap load of rust, no motor or box but set up as a motorkhana car. I have had it scince 05/06. I bought it with the intention of building a street weapon with a 4age turbo 300hp ish. The body work took untill 2008 with it spending plenty of time untouched. Motervation was hard to come by when you know how much you still have to spend and with the "ecconomis crisis, I could have bought a completed car for less then I still need to spend to finish mine. I got as …

Hi i'm new on this forum and just thought i'd show you guys my ride Hopefully it will be sporting new 15" mags in the next couple of weeks. Hopefully will be converting it to a turbo toyota motor in a year or so. Cheers Tony, Anyways let me know what you guys think of it and also some suggestions for it aswell :P Anyways its a 1979 toyota corolla wagon, it has factory green tinted glass, awesome striped green interior, mildly worked 4k motor (rebuilt, blueprinted and balance)

Its go alot of work that needs to go into it, rust to fix up, paint, the engine needs a rebuild and the brakes upgrading. Once i'm finished with her she'll be a be…

hey guys got myself my first rolla i bought it a few weeks ago and its already put me through hell. its a ke38 p/van with a turbo 4afe fitted, haltech e6k ecu, fmic, shaved windows, jellybean rims, central locking with remote start and mr2 buckets. i got it cheap cause it wasnt running right apparently it needed a tune. things done so far: first thing i did when i got it home was your generaly service plugs, leads, oil the usual then to gccs got a nice alpine headunit fitted and got the central fixed cause the doors werent acctually locking. next off to the dyno where the gremlins came out. ok so after about an hour of tuning ( the tune was completely screwed…

Hey everyone I'm back, and in a corolla again finally! Here is the new beast a stock as ae111 sprinter trueno. Bought her from QLD and drove her the 2000k's back home last weekend. She only has 54,000ks on her and is pretty tidy, the inside more so than the paint anyway (lucky I'm an ex painter and can work some magic on her) The only downside is that she is currently an auto, but we bought a gearbox clutch and flywheel with her and sourced the rest of the manual gear of an ae101 last weekend and bought new clutch master and slave yesterday so the conversion will be starting next weekend (have a jzx100 cruise today so this weekends no go) can't wait so over drivi…

G'day guys my name is Tom, I am from SA. I am 15 and a half and got my first car yesterday. Its a 1982 corolla luxury edition. Air con, 5 speed manual etc. The lady (60) who i bought it off had almost everything replaced on it so it was all smick. She drove it around the corner to her work and back everyday. If anyone wants to donate a nice set of rims that would be muchly appreciated! :) :P :y: Now I'll let the pictures do the talking.

Last thursday I picked up this fine looking machine! Not sure where to start with my plans, but I'll keep this page updated as it goes along!

Well I thought I'd post up here my project car I just picked up. I'm keeping the KE70 panelvan as a daily driver while doing up the Sprinter.

So guys, my latest addition is here now.......... It has also completed my KE2? collection :P :cool: Already getting the RH guard repaired (new RareSpares section), got a New tailight last weekend aswell. Got a set of Deepdish Spitfires (13") the other day so it should start looking better and better........... Any ideas

HI 2 all,ok so the ideas are spinning around in my head now. today they traveled down my arm onto paper (the cheap way to see what ideas will look like). as previously mentioned the front was goin to be custom,so here is the first few ideas.. black one has each headlight with its own frenched opening,the red one is of the open type full frenching.ala 60`s style as seen on many fj holdens back then.i have decided that straight up and down is hte way to go.with h a 54 desoto grill the preffered option. what do you think HI 2 All again, well i have rambled on about this vauxhall ute in other parts of my topics. and just to shock every one and show that it rea…

Hey guys, My Project Plan: My plan is to rebuild a Toyota Corolla Ke17 Sprinter which has been my dads for many years and has been sitting around unused since 1996, From what i can gather it had a 4k in the end which had a big cam i think and dad said it went ok. Anyway my plan is to get the car and do a full rebuild from ground up, ill put a 3k or 4k(which we have under the bench and has a big cam :laff:) then make the engine a uprite version which will be a bit of work but will be worth it in the end, set of twin 40mm webbers, twin throttle linkage, t50 gearbox modified to suite uprite engine, um not sure on front end yet but prob rosebud joint the front end, may…

Here's a sneak peak of my next project. 1966 MS47 Crown Masterline (ute) 2M (I think) with 3 speed manual Its been sitting for a while and I'm just getting around to starting it now, first steps are to get wheels and suspension sorted, make sure it runs and drives well then paint. Just picked up a new set of shoes for her, they are Cragar 15x8 -+0, need to put some stretch on the tires to get inside the guards.

So here is the recent addition to the stable. A 1986 AE82 Twincam that cost me $200. Basically saved it from the scrapper and the plan is to use it as a club car in events such as hillclimbs and motorkhanas. Car was cheap as it is unregistered and motor is in pieces as it was cooked by the previous owner. All the bits are there but in the boot and interior has been ripped apart as he took out his stereo. Definitely get stuck into it next year when I get back from holidays. Once I have it running i'll strip it out get club reg and see what it can do/how long it will last on the track! Here are some pics. P.S. everyone knows that red is faster :) …

My next move on the modfication side of things is to get rid of my 4af…

I decided to buy my Girlfriend, Amber, a car. She had always talked about her dad owning an AE82 Corolla Seca when she was little that he called the BLAT. I thought it would be nice to get her a Corolla the same model as the BLAT she loved so much... I found this one on gumtree, It was located in Mt.Bryan. Me and my brother went for a cruise down there in the Celica, It was a lovely drive =P Anywho, When we arrived we checked it out and made sure it was a good runner. Started up great, no knocks or noises, Went into gears more smoothly then my Celica. Sounds awesome for a little 4AC. We had also never seen that colour on an AE82 Seca. Got it home and serviced …
