Rollaclub Rides

Hey hey, whats up everyone This is a bit of a quick intro, names Dan been kickin around here for a bit since I got my new rolla. It was supposed to be a cheap daily that I could have some fun with. I sold my ute that I'd rebuilt over 3 years from the ground up for something a bit more family friendly and that doesn't need to be washed every couple of days, but it hasn't turned out that way, :cool: but for all the little and large problems i wouldn't swap it for the world, well maybe a large tropical island. :bash: This is what I ended up with 84 KE70 wagon 4agte & T50 5spd Cut & shut intake manifold/plenum Home made? exhaust manifold vl high fl…

Well, I was trying to start cutting down on my cars. Hence getting rid of the sr20 ke36. But I've keeping my eyes open for a cheap ke20 ever since I got rid of my old one. Well just scored my self a white ke20 for a good price. Needs a little bit of work but so do most ke20's. Pick it up over the weekend. Will upload some pics when I pick it up.

[iNTRODUCTION] Hey all, my name is Ethan and I'm from Railton, Tasmania. Depending which way you look at it, I'm either fortunate or rather unfortunate. I was 'fortunate' enough to have inherited my KE70 from one of my best friends, the 'unfortunate' part is that he had to pass away for me to get this opportunity. We bought this KE with the intention to build it into our own little drift pig purely for learning the basics and getting some sideways action. He was the purchaser, it was his legally, but it was realistically ours, I had intended on doing a lot of the mechanical work with him, because we were best mates, it was our passion and our project. …

Hi to all This is my first time here and new to any site. I have been looking online, and this is the first site to find anything similar to my car. It has a 4efte engine,98 I think and runs ok. Does anyone know about parts for this model?

So since my JZX100 is still waiting on panels from Japan I snapped up this KE70 thats registered until next year. 4K-C with Aircon 5 Speed Manual Rust in boot lip, corners and a bit around front window. (Really shitty bog attempt made) Plan will be to daily the hell out of this until the Mark II is on the road and upgraded. After that will be dropping a 20V 4AGE into the car because being in Darwin, Don't need engineering to do it :D (As far as I'm aware). Soon incoming is new interior, mirrors and sound system. Also spraying some black around the windows because I want to. Good thing about not caring about the condition at the moment is I can entertain m…

sarp rollaclub, havent put up a members ride since my first car so here i am to do it again. swapped my rusty old 70 wagon for this 1975 ke30! its stock, and needs a new drivers front quarter panel (are early ones and late ones the same?) and a boot. so if anyone in Adelaide has a white one for sale let me know :cool: havent been able to give it a clean yet due to the crappy weather in SA, interiors pretty overrated, needs a new back seat (the back part) and a few tears in the front seats which i'll prob get stitched up. i spent today mounting and hooking up an electric fan. basically 2 metal brackets along the front holding in place and a switch in the c…

Hi guys, Well I logged into Ebay one Sunday afternoon and found this old girl. It was love at first sight. I went and looked at it Monday, not as good in the flesh but still worth a crack. I bidded and won ;) Here are the Ebay pics, more pics to come when I clean her up for All Japan Day. Come down and see her there in all her stock unmolested glory. It will be the last showing in that guise :wink: Car Specs - Name: Abigail (named after my daughter) Engine - 3k Drive - 2 Speed Toyoglide First impression of the car is it is real cruisey and quiet. It gives you an impression of what it must have been like driving something like th…

ok boys and girls, i have a new car! but i only have teaser pics till its built (in progress) just working out engine stuff its a 1979? KE55 corolla hardtop

After watching this car on the forum for ages, and looking at countless peices of overpriced crap i finally decided to go have a look a haydo's KE38 down at victor harbour. After the long drive down there i decided to buy the car because of all the added goodies it came with such as coilovers, brake upgrade, weber, extractors, 5 speed and exhaust. When i got the car it had just dropped a valve, so the 4k-U was running like crap (i later worked out that it was only running on 2!), so it was a slow drive home in the hot weather for my little bro while i sat in my airconditoned armchair (Aristo). The body work isnt to bad on this car, but the paint isnt that flas…

Hey guys, gals and in between. Been on here for a while now and only realised then that I didn't have a project thread so I thought it'd be time to make one. Also because I am bored. ;) Car started out as a bog stock 83 KE70 CS which I picked up for $500 complete with a lot of dings and original metallic paint which had lost all of its colour so was just basically metal. Nethertheless, it also had 6 months rego and was a good base to start with, as I was only on my L's then. All the work has been done by myself and my old man so he has saved me money and taught me alot about it. Being my only car, nothing to major is being carried out on it as I need to get to wo…

Up until now i have not started a thread for my ke25, because it was finished, and there is nothing to write about. But, due to a way too cheap motor option coming up, the ke25 is no longer finished, so here is a quick backtrack of how it got to where it is. :jamie:

Hello everyone. So I've been wanting to get a corolla project for a while and then this little beauty popped up. This 1980 ke55 which belonged to a good mate of mine that he wanted to do up but never got the chance. Bought it on Saturday. It's a 4k with 5 speed. The engine has done less than 10,000kms since it's rebuild. I spoke with the original owner who did the work to it and was a little bit hazy with the details but he told me that it has: Balanced Crankshaft Some sort of lumpy cam Bored out 20thou Head work And of course a 32/36 Webber :hmm: It has lowered king springs on the front and adjustable shockers in the rear. The interior in this thing is…

So a few weeks back I purchased my 84 ae71 4age powered corolla :). I have already started a build thread on another site but figured ill be on here much more now as I now have a rolla (previously owned 180sx). Info 84ae71 with 4age bluetop vl turbo fuel pump cool pioneer deck interior has been painted cream, looks good except the bits that are peeling exterior i suspect is in quik dry enamel or rattle canned on has really low springs in her (not cut) had rusty gaurds and boot which is what I'm currently working on Here is some photo's from my other thread so far untill I do some more work on her. general pics:

heres my ke50 which ive been doing up for a bit over 10 months now. stripping it down and getting all rust and dents out of it, then prepping it for painting. has a 2T in it and lowered, plenty of kool stuff. Before: After: Before: After: now i just have to put it all back together and a general clean up of everything along the way :P old pic of motor (much cleaner now): Interior (now black but not instaled yet): comments welcome.

A lot has changed and will do a draft up of the current status with mods etc

Hey all I am new to the forums figured I would post my latest project :y: Not that anyone would probably care but I have had a 1979 2door mk2 escort for about 4 years spent way to much money on it and have had a 4agze with lots of JDM bits converted to turbo with a disco potato and a lt10s sitting my garage for about a year now waiting to go in..... Ive recently realized I can do a conversion on a KE70 for a lot cheaper and in the end I will have a lot more fun :y: pics up.... EDIT/UPDATE: Due to me not being organised i will not be sitting the engine on the weekend starting 27/09 (as i don't have an engine crane) - due to this i will be hunting a tailshaf…

This was recently added to our backyard as a bit of a "team project" for a friend who has several Crowns. His wife would probably divorce him if he brought another one home, so my housemate and I have offered to store it here and help do the bodywork/paint until he can sell something and make some space. It's a 1970 model RS56 which originally had the cast iron pushrod 4 cylinder also found in coaster buses! Basic plans are to make this his daily driver, with a 6 cylinder conversion with celica 5 speed, matt black and plenty of Crown chrome with a bit of bling. There are also some custom ideas which may or may not eventuate, but the idea is to create something a …

Hey everyone, So here's the backing story. 6 years ago, a little old vintage car collector bought this little vehicle for his granddaughter as her first car, buying off an old couple who had both lost their licenses, hence a little old people damage to the front but nothing too bad. He called her up and told her to come and get her new car! When she got there, she looked at it an said, "That's old. I thought I was getting a new car. I don't want that!" So the old man left it under his house behind their Jazz for 6 years, charging the battery every two weeks. And he didn't buy her another car! A few months ago, looking in the paper I saw an add that read; TOYOTA s…

Alright, a little late to start a build thread of my car but better late than never :thumbsup: Ill post dates so you can see the time over the progress has been made Anyway hope you guys like my little rig!

Hey lads think its bout time i made one of these, this is my 1984 Ae71 CS 5 speed Manual Wagon. bought it bout 2 months ago of Big BBQ. i plan to just have it as a good daily, something that will turn some heads be comfortable to drive daily, have a decent working sound system, but also be a good little weekend hills warrior. So let the wagon work's begin. Specs: 4ac goodness, sloppy T50 box, cut front springs, custom stiffer lowered and reset leaf springs and, short stroke shocks in the back, SSR mesh 15x7+0 all round with f@$ked tyre's on the back and Advan neova semi slicks on the front. Handling/suspension: Cut front springs. custom stiffer lowered and res…

Hey guys, havn't been a member on here long but have been a long time rolla fan having owned a couple of Ke70s years ago. Anyway, here is my latest purchase. 1970 ke20 with 78,000 on the clock. It's a stock 3k and toyoglide at the moment. There is one small spot of rust in the engine bay 3cm long which is being cut out and welded when it gets a fresh coat of paint in the next couple of months. Anyway I bought the car around 8 weeks ago from a guy who had bought it off the original owner only a couple of months prior. It has EVERY SINGLE service reciept, original service manual and log book and even the original purchase reciept for $2105.40 . I have …

Hey guys thought I better make a thread for my KE30 as I have alot planned for her. Its a 1978 KE30 CS Corolla, which I bought off Fusion on here. Its done a genuine 84,000km with proof and is in generally good condition. However as you may know Ross (Fusion) had put a lot of work into the engine conversion so she isn't very granny spec anymore lol. Basic specs are as follows 1978 KE30 CS Corolla 4 door sedan 3TC 1.8 litre single-cam four which has: - Modified KE30 engine cross member - New waterpump - New leads - New sparkplugs - New rocker cover gasket and a head gasket (I think) - Complete flush out - Emission controls removed - 2" Hurri…

here is my 1978 corolla ke36. have owned it for almost 2 years now. got it off a second owner who had not had it long. has only done 60,000km... have worked 5k with twim 40mm side draughts still waiting to be put in as i have almost finished putting it back together after a fresh paint job. only things i have done is lower it 2" all round and rims. here is a few pics before i sent it off to get re painted. will add more photos once i figure out how to get more on at once...??

Hey guys my name is johnny I'm new on rollaclub. I just bought my 3rd rolla and i love it to pieces. It's pretty much my daily work car. It's not to bad for the condition it is in, its a simple 4kc 5speed with 122xxx k's on the clock standard motor. It's got a bit of rust in one spot but the rest is pretty shmick for the car that it is. The paint is a bit faded but i guess thats normal for ke70's tho. It's got a brand new 2.5inch exhaust system on it (SOUNDS LIKE PURE VIOLENCE),a kelway strutbrace,a locked diff and cut springs as usual ofcourse :yes:,standard interior and standard radio. Will put dvd cd player in sometime soon tho, its got one rip in the seat but that's b…

Hi, I'm new here. I have a KE20 with a 265 Hemi 6cyl, it has triple SUs, big hi-stall and a 9 inch diff. Its currently being painted and ready prepared for the track. It is the 4th KE20 i have owned and definatly the craziest one. I would love some opinions on brake and front suspention upgrades. This is its current state, all prepared for paint

Hi guys and gals, Well I could only go so long without owning a Corolla, although to be honest I didn't expect to be back in one so soon. I've always wanted one of these, and at the moment it will suit my lifestyle perfectly. '91 AE95 wagon, 5 speed, all wheel drive, has done close to 400,000 k's and has a stuffed motor but would appear to be very original and tidy otherwise, and is still registered (Tasmania) and driving. The colour is perfect for a set of wheels and tinted windows and interior looks very clean indeed. Picking it up tonight - haven't even seen it yet which I know is risky but considering the price and the multitude of good pictures on eBa…

Hey guys, been a member and corolla lover (sometimes inappropriately) for some years, and ive had a many corolla rides and small projects. But this is my first KE, bought off GJM85 from here. Plans are, clean it up a little, treat the rust spots, Rego, then slowly do some small mods when finances permits me. Bit more power from the 4K would be nice, extractors and 2" exhaust to start with. But the thing i really want, is a nice set of wheels. But, I'm poor :( Its very very original, interior isnt molested at all, 5 speed, and still got the awesome cassette player and AM only radio :) . Cheers gavin, ill take good care of her. And i need some help choosing a name, any sug…

hey guys, i thought it was about time i told you all about my car, it is my first road car (i have had a few parts cars and one for khana) its a '79 ke55 hardtop. i have had it for about 12 months and in that time its received a PHAT 2" zorst with one muffler so its reasonably loud, its got ta23 celica struts and brakes so it stops... yay and its also got some 13x6.5 spitfires. The plans for it in the "near" future are a plained bigport 3k head(should be next week and lowering. in the not so neer future (hopefully mid next year) it will be getting a 2tze, the engine will consist of a mildly modifyed 2tc with efi off a 2tg and a sc12 of a 4agze, all this will be trans…

my project sr5 66000 milles

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. …

Hi there i just joined and this is my first post. I'm on here because i just inherited a KE20 sl from my grandmother. I'm so excited becasue i 've only ever seen about 10 or so in adelaide. Well mine is in decent nick mechanically, but the interior and the body need some work. i have been dreaming of getting this car ever since i was little and i was just so lucky I'm the only grandchild with a licence :jamie: . my plan is to do it up untill it looks and go's exactly like it just came out of the factory. my lovely boyfriend is helping me slowly do it up, he bought me new door seals. Just on that topic i was wondering if all KE20's make a clanging sound when you close t…
