Rollaclub Rides

This is an in car camera of me driving in my 1973 TE-27 Levin that has a full bridgeport engine in it. This was the 7th JCCS held yearly at Long Beach California. There were close to 400 pre 1975 Japanese cars in attendance and about 200 more in the parking lot that did not make the registration deadline. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ias2CPTbXUo -Big Mike

so were to start. i got this ke70 for straight swaps for my fully sick minitruck.... (it was not full sick) that is the 1st day i got the car so is this one fit a ae86 notchback boot lip, don't worry the mounts were all stuffed so didnt wreck it. how the motor looked when i got it, talk about proplems on how it was put together. the manifold had 3 of the 9 bolts holding it on. so once i had realised how much was done wrong in the car i made my mind up i was goin to strip the whole car and fix it all. started with a new bigport head that came with the car then it was time to try get it running, spend about 6 weeks tracing wires b…

Hey all, Just thought i'd share my daily driver/Project Car. Its a 1998 Toyota Caldina ST215 1998 Toyota Caldina GT-T 17x7 +38 A-Tech rims, Blitz cat-back exhaust Apexi N1 ATS silencer Blitz DSBC spec R Blitz radiator cap Blitz boost gauge Largus Coilovers Brakes EBC Greenstuff All Round It needs a few things done: Fix the sunroof The sunroof isn't working at the moment. I've noticed that buttons to open the sunroof seem to work for a very short moment (was too scared to open it anymore) but to try and close the sunroof, neither close button did anything. I was going to take the interior cover of the buttons off and clean all the contacts. I'm…

Hey guys, new at this but I've owned many rollas! I've brought a ke30 ($250). overrated inside and exterior was crappy! Was thinking about making it into a rolladore burnout car but instead desided to make it more of a track car.. This car is a very low budget as I'm no rich kid and I have a 5ltr statesman to run everyday. Pics to come when I figure out how. Cheers Luke

Hey all, so I've had this rusty snot box for about a month now. Bought it stock as a rock as a daily to replace a ST162 white lightning, cost $700 with 6 months rego just put on. Not much to say about it, its stock as a rock with as you probably read 642 000kms, not a typo, that works out its been around the world around 15 times haha. Diff is very noisy, the bushes in the rear are all but non existent so the back end feels like its alive and has a mind of its own, and tie rod ends on the front are shot. Good bits: Rust, (aside from what you can see in the rear quarters) there is very little rust, none around the windows/doors and very very little in the boot.…

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 all, Seeing as I've been coming to this forum for god knows how long, and finally have a Toyota!, I thought I'd start a build on the ke11 I bought about a month ago off a fellow rollaclub member. So it's a 1970 ke11 been resprayed in sky blue 13in Mazda wheels with hubcaps Lowered 2in all round (I think) Ke70 brakes up front Ke20 collapsible steering column and steering box Twin circuit brake master cylinder Has the original corolla 1200 fender badges Front mount cooler hidden behind grill 4agte (4agze bottom end with bigport head) Ross forged pistons 4agze rods ARP main bolts and head studs Comtect steel 1.8 head gasket Acl race bearings …

So here's my first AE86. I've had KE70's and a T18 before, but not a hachi. So it's either a Dec 83 or a Jan 84 build (not sure) zenki Levin. Bought it for $1400 full of holes where rust had been cut out. It had no panels on it but came with everything minus a drivers door. The hatch that came with it was cut to bits so I went and got a TRD one with no rust for $200. Trailered it 300kms home pulling it with an R30 Skyline (that only overheated once through the hills) and left it overnight still strapped to the trailer. The next day I started just bolting stuff on, seeing how it all looked so I can decide on a paint colour and start welding/sanding/priming. …

Hey guys, it's been a few years since iv been on here. I sold my last ke70 about a year and a half ago and bought a r31 skyline. It was a great car but I got over the bigness of it and there's wasn't much else to do to it once I had finished with it. I sold it and started looking for a ke70. I was going to do a black top 4age conversion. I kept looking for sometime but couldn't find the right one, until a ae71 popped up. I went and had a look at it and was immaculate except for the rear guards and abit of rust around the boot seal. It had no rego and needed a blue slip. He wanted 2500 for it but got him down to $2100. I was pretty happy with the price concidering if I bou…

Hi everyone! My name is Jose Garro, and I'm from Costa Rica, Central America. Last year, I bought a 1974 KE20 from a friend's uncle. In general, the car is in a very solid state, and because of previous modifications, has good potencial as a project. It has a 5k engine, a 5 speed T50 tranny, and a OEM brake booster (I believe from a newer Corolla or Starlet). The previous owner put in a set of wide 12" wheels, with low profile tires, and because the bad roads we have in Costa Rica, the suspension (bushings, dampers) and the underbody was in a very bad condition. Also, all the body rubber is, literally speaking, toasted, and the rust problems tipical of this Corollas are p…

G'Day all, So I have had this Ke38 wagos for 2 years now, and I have had it as a fantastic daily for the majority of that time. The mods only consisted of a 2" straight through exhaust and headers, reset leafs, king springs, monroe shocks and a screaming gilmer drive. It sat on glossy 15" silhouette steelies at the back with white lettering on the tyres and fresh black "front runner" ke stockies. looked and sound ridiculous and people would never want to race at the lights haha. It has been off the road for a few months now and so far I have taken the whole driveline out, put a whole hilux rear axle in, drum to drum, which was purchased previously modified to …

This is my ke10 I picked up today, a lady from the high school I went to got in contact with me (now I'm 18 and finished school) and offered me the car, she noticed the love I had for cars back in high school and when she thought about getting rid of this "old car taking up space on her farm " she thought of me, all she could tell me over the phone was it was a one of the first Toyotas off the production line, I went and checked it out and when I saw it was a ke10 I was very keen, she offered it to me late last year but its taken me till now to pick it up ( trying to find time amongst finishing other projects and work), the body if fairly straight just a few dints, front …

Hi all, I recently sold my 180sx to help fund my new project, a 5K Supercharged KE30! My dad and I will be doing this ourselves, well mainly my dad haha but i'm good for moral support :) We eventually found a 5k block with some gear still on it, and then found a 4k to "mix and match" the bits needed. I then bought a SC14 Supercharger from a Jap Import shop in Adelaide. We will hopefully be doing a manual conversion with some parts that we got from U-Pull-It, just waiting to find a gearbox.Anyway, Be sure to stay tuned in the near future for more updates! :D

Ok, this isnt another 'I'm thinking of going down this path' thread.. Basicly, iv got a 84 rolla (I think its a KE71) and I plan to strip it to bits and track it. I'm going to strip pretty much everything, aside from the drive-train. I'm going to turbo-charge the stock motor and use that untill it dies. This isnt a daily drive, so it can sit around for as long as I need :) Just wanted a few pointers for the build in certain areas.. I will be running a blow through setup on the stock carby (if possible, may have to get one from a 2.5L+ motor), and will have to encase it to prevent fuel going out the bowl. The turbo Ill use is a CT9 from a starlet GT (1.3L turb…

Needed a daily so got myself a slanty KE70. Wanted a KE30 but someone beat me to it. -.- Found this rig owned by a 24 year old female, whose grandparents had owned it before her. The car had been named 'Carol'. It's got a bit of rust in the normal spots, paint fade all over it and a few love bumps. But it has working aircon! It's a 4 speed, 4k hicam, if that means anything haha. Interior is crap, tan colour with the original AM/FM radio which barely works. The engine has only just been run in with only 278,000KM on the clock; original engine and everything :D The car is completely stock, with the only additions being a pair of faded tan seat covers and aftermarke…

I am deadset farken hopeless. I lasted maybe a month before I bought another car to go club racing lol.. Saw this on ebay a few months ago and was keen but the timing was poor, however its popped up again this week so I snapped it up. It does officially break the "only three toy cars" rule at home, but I think its cheapness has let me sneak it in. The basics are its a 1986? (I will have to check that) Ae82 Corolla Twin Cam hatch. Someone clearly loved it and spent a lot of money on it at some point in its life. Has 20 valve conversion, reportedly done by Toyrolla Spares. Its very neat from the brief look I have had over it. Painted Ford Blueprint blue…

Hey all, I just recently re purchased my old ke10. i owned it a fair few years ago, i bought it as a green running/registered car. Then Painted it matt black. Then got bored of it a bought a turbo corona and let it sit around for a year or so. Fit a 4age in its engine bay but never got it running. then i sold it... LINK :How i sold it.. Now i bought it back, its a little more stripped to how i sold it.. and has a few less parts to when i sold it... I believe its been through about 3 other owners since me, but never registered under another persons name. This is how i got it back! But all in good time :)

hey guys, I'm new here, and mainly here for help, on the weekend past some little person who if I ever found will wish death on themselves stole my 1970 rt80 corona, she was immaculate and I had just gotten her on the road, Good news I guess is that I got her back, ditched, with all door and boot locks smashed in, radio broken, wrong fuel put in (thanks jerk) and decided to not learn to drive before stealing, as they smashed into something destroying two ssr mesh rims and my front frill, bumper, lights ect, I have attached a pic of how she sits now. I'm asking if anyone can help with spares for this or know anyone boasting about taking one for a joyride this weekend? tha…

It needs a bit of work still..nothing major..just need to figure out why its running extremely rich and bucking at light throttle..

Hi Everyone, i previously worked on my AE92 and unfortunately had to be sold to allow something esle to prosper.. Previous AE92: Click Here anyway in january i made the aquisition of an AE94 with a 4AFE...the car had not been run in over a year and was sitting there. needless to say some work had to be done before putting it back on the road. didnt put rego on until late February.. luckily for me, it had some light mods already made to it; - Black Window tint - 16In Rims other than that the car is pretty much stock..but the previous owner got paint happy and paited bits here and there white.. so thats gotta change asap. Photos bel…

Hey guys, So last night i was thinking about building a track car, so i started looking on here, ebay and gumtree. Sent a few people messages, woke up to a few replys. Found a guy on here with a free ke70, texted a mate after by 11 o'clock we had a free car trailer lined up. We hadn't seen photos or any thing we knew it had no diff gear box or engine. We joked around saying it will be overrated an all shiny. Haha but that didn't happen it was spray painted and looking like shit in away, tail lights where tinted. started having a look around it it was straight had hardly any dents and only slight rust spots. we where going to take it either way but its worth saving. It i…

Hi guys, so far I'm new to this whole concept of the classic box cars..Sorry for the mistake if I'm doing the topic wrong. My dad used to have a Ke70 when I was a child, grew up in one for a couple years but he couldn't keep it. After I became aware of this cars are really hard to find. I finally had to money to buy one and find one in good decent shape. I want to this project since my dad is getting old, want to make a car in honor of him. I'm from Vancouver B.C canada and can't wait to learn from you previous members... 1981 Corolla 1.8 184,000KM Everything Stock,

Hey guys this is my Ae92, Its 3/4 Finished now, I'll throw some pics up and story from then till now. Basically, it was my Ex Gf's Mums car, She owned it from new, It was then passed onto my Ex when she got her P's, She got a new car, I took owner ship of it, Wanted something cheap to run and maintain as a daily. Its had a reasonable life, Owned by 2 mechanics now. The Ex neglected it a bit, but considering its got over 360,000 on it and is still going strong, I can't complain. I think since I've owned it I would have spent maz $1200 getting it to the stage its at now, Still have a reasonable list of things to go to 'finish' it. All the work has been done by myself, or he…

So after a new event that has started locally in Perth that opens Barbagello race track up for a whole night once a month I thought I should get something fun to race around in, so here it is. This car is ridiculously fun that it can get you into some trouble , got my first fine in 2 hours after signing the transfer papers :D So plan is to be a have a quick track car but still be able to drive it to te track with not much un-wanted attention .

Well guys, I've been hanging to start this thread the moment I seen this car. I knew it was mean to be! It is a 1 OWNER, that's right 1 OWNER KE55 Coupe. It was clearly well looked after, probably the MOST original KE55 coupe in all of VICTORIA! The interior is honest to god, like NEW, I shit you not! It has never been smoked in, it has the original carpet and original seat covers. It even has the original radio and cassette player in working condition! There is 1 crack in the dash, 1 tiny rip in the back seat. The exterior has rust in most arches, some terrible others easily repairable, I'm taking it to a panel beater tomorrow morning so he can look it over. This car…

This is my thread which has now been copied over for a fifth time, so if it doesnt make sense that's why. I wanted a good all round package that has limited compramises, here's what I wanted to improve: power, torque, braking power, cornering ability, predictability, stereo, looks, reliability, rigidity all while still having enough room to still fit my bike in the back. Basicly I wanted a daily driver that equiped well enough to go on a circuit should I choose to. Also this has had the suspension tuned to eliminate oversteering, this is not for drifting! Lastly I have tried to make the pictures as detailed as possible so that other people can learn from wh…

I thought would post up a few pics and links about my car. Some one posted about it two years ago, and I have been lurking here ever since. I have been working on it since 2006, and the car is finally pretty much done. The summary is that it's a 1975 Corolla body that was in horrible shape when I got it. It was so rusted that I cut the firewall and the entire floor out. The shell sits on a chassis that I built to to hold the front and rear suspension from a Lexus SC400, powered by a V8 from the same donor car supercharged by a M112 from an SVT Mustang, and backed up by a T56 from and LT1 Camaro. Every bit of work required to do this was done by myself in …

KE38 GOODNESS So I picked her up and she was looking pretty sad. :down: But I rocked it like this for a week of two then chucked these on her Then it rust/paint started to piss me off bad!! :jason: Plans were to paint it purple because I'm gay like that, nut run out of time due to sister needing the shed for her birthday :abuse: So it ended up like this. Plans are all over the place. But i have bought some fun stuff for her il post pics next! ;)

As some of you may know i bought millers ke35 coupe off him a couple of months ago. I'm gonna put a ae101 4agze with sc14 in it. I have already pulled out the 4k and started to fit the 4a, gonna make some custom engine mounts: watch this space for all the progress!

Hey guys after staking out the forums for the last couple of months and drooling over some of these ke70's and the likes I've decided to dip into the scene and buy my own. I picked it up over the weekend, just your regular 84' with the standard 4k and 5 speed box. (The colour is a lot more cream than white) It runs like an absolute dream with only one small bit of rust just above the rear bumper. The engine will be kept maintained and stock for the time being until my current plans are out of the way, any ideas are welcome seeing as this is my first real attempt at making a car my own. :) The upholstery will need a fair bit of TLC as it is filled with fun …

How's it going been looking for a few on 3tc/te72 corolla info seems this site is pretty good. I do a lot of my own work so some is good and some is to make it work. The car is a work in progress as it is my daily driver too. The car is a 1981 corolla lift back 1.8 stock, have header and new exhaust to put on other then that it will be stock. Aftermarket air filter to get rid of the big old blue one. The front lip is from a 1990 ford ranger. I am on a budget for buying stuff so don't bash too hard. Here is the back of the car with the old wheels

ok guys have finally paid the rocket off. its a 1981 ke70 cs 5 speed. completely stock as a rock, bit dirty and paint is pretty poor, but turn the key and away she goes :) has 4 good tyres already, clutch grabs when its supposed to, all gears shift smoothly, and the interior is awesome minus a few small tears in the rear seat. will keep everyone updated as the progress continues. these photos are as i picked it up has not been washed or vaccuumed.enjoy :)
