Rollaclub Rides

Thought I'd start a thread for the beast now that it is starting to gain momentum. Picked her up a few months back and have been fixing it ever since Hence the name moocher.... Cause she definately does not pay the bills.... When I initially got her she was running ok but started to wear out over time. Almost like it had a cosmetic makeover before I bought her Seems as though it has had a 3kbp head slaped on and very poorly bolted on manofolds that did not suit... I found out that the bolts that were used bottomed out before they even tensioned the manifold. So basically done so far is: Changed fluids Spark plugs Ignition leads Points Ro…

Just bought recently (few days ago) a 1986 Twin Cam, Originally 4 days ago, I did not plan to buy another car, however a friend offered to buy my AE82 Sedan, and then an ad for the Twin Cam popped up on Gumtree, then I changed my mind, why not? :P Bought it for $1,600 with RWC inc from a nice old guy, originally I was a bit exceptional as the Twin cam was in pretty much perfect condition 0 Rust as well, and done only 130,000 KM's.., after I test drove it, it went very well, and engine was very responsive. Everything was bone stock including the radio even, everything works. However the radio's new home is the bin soon :P Even has all logbooks dating back to 19…

I bought the Rolla from a family, who left their parent's car in the garage of an estate for years. Car had great interior, body in decent shape, and minimal rust, aside from the battery leaking acid onto metal. Corolla came with a 3kc 4 speed, which had 25,000 miles. I was suspicious of that, until I cleaned the jets on the rebuilt carb the car already had. Car runs like it just came out of the dealership new! I just wanted to share the journey of my find. 78 Corolla $800 Paint and body $400 (good paint shop) Baby supra 13x5.5 front 13x8 rear $100 Wrapped in kumho 175/70/13 front futura 205/60/13 rear free Suspension lowering $35 king springs free

Hey guys, I'm new here but I thought I'd share with you in detail the build I have been doing over the last month and a bit. My names Jarrad, I'm 19 and in Melbourne. I got to uni, studying industrial design and I managed to cram this into my holidays just over. Here she is as I got her. A very tidy example with a few needed rust repairs in the usual places. It's done a few km's and needed a new diff. Apart from that - spick and span. Owned by a car-detailer that sold it because he got a AE86. Prior to him it was owned by a Toyota mechanic. First step for me was to start hacking up the rust. I stripped it completely and made up some panels to w…

Enough said .

Picked this bad boy up about 1 month ago as a bit of a side project along side getting my calais turbo wagon back on the road......its a 1983 KE70 Wagon, 4k, 4spd manual, 190,xxx kms on the clock. Doesn't blow smoke, lights work (sort of) and it drives pretty straight considering its age. This is basically going to be my car to learn rust repair, body prep and painting on. It's unrego'd so It doesnt really bother me long it takes to sort out. It has a decent amount of rust, but most of it I THINK i will be able to sort out.

Hey guys, new to the rollaclub seen and thought I would wack up the AE92 I picked up. It needs a couple things before rego so hoping people can help me out. I have bought this car for the missus as a daily so its not going to have to much money spent on it. Its got 204 thou on the clock and drives/runs pretty well. Not a bad score for $500 I think. Chasing: Wheels/Tyres - factroy or aftermarket Washer bottle Standard exhaust Steering wheel

hey guys have bought ae71 auto 3 owner and 82000km had the usual idea bolting a 4age and manual conversation but as today I'm also the owner of te71 gt so new plan is to transplant driveline (2tgeu 5peed and diff ) as the body on te is U/S i do have one question is better run efi or twin carbs??

So here it is my first corolla 1976 te31 corolla just got the car in july birthday present to self! got it for a unbelievably low price, after seeing what the guys in puerto rico do to them i had to have one!! http://youtu.be/AztRWlpwOM0 when i got the car from the previous owner i guess it had been sitting for about 2 years was suppose to be his project it was running when he got it but for some reason decided to rip out all the factory wiring an tried to make a race car out of it with a bunch of switches lol, but besides that i guess the previous owner before him did all the upgrades to the car an i've some how managed to get in contact with him. i was …

Couple of months ago, i don't how a managed to convince my wife to buy Greg's (farkurnell) KE20... She is a beauty... Very clean and original.. Here is a pic

Hey there, My names Jordan. I've been meaning to this on here for a while now. This is my second corolla (i have to stop being addicted). I bought it off a guy locally about 6 or more months ago. I got lucky as i wasn't looking for long till i found the Ke26 i wanted :). It has a 4K atm but am looking to upgrade to a mildly worked 5K :yes: Has a 5 speed box which i find very handy. Jap diff. Things i have done: Satin black RA40 Celica rims running 195/60 R14 tyres all round. Engine change from 3K to 4K (my first engine change). Rust repairs, however i have not fully finished and am unsatisfied with my job. So i will be restarting and maybe practice weldi…

Hi guys. This my 89 rolla 16v. Got it bout 5 years. Started pimping it hardcore for a year now. Its about 50% complete. Doing most of the stuff myself at home. I am far from completion tho. Wil be dropping in a 20v very soon. Wil post more pics.

Hey guys. My name is Justin. Just bought myself another corolla which has brought me back to these forums. Have been away for a long time. Clearly not as immaculate and new as the at the time brand new 05 sportivo but I'm still quite happy with its graceful aging and condition As far as i know apart from it clearly being lowered its completely stock. Looks wise with exception of rear muffler, lowered, tint and small sound system my goal for this car is to keep complete original look. I will just slowly source out or re paint new bits and peices to get interior and exterior as overrated as possible. Power wise CAI, Upsized throttle body, Extractors and exhaust.…

hey everyone, this is only my second topic ( you may remember dohc 4k) last august i saved a ke55 two door lift back from the wreckers with only its motor attached (no g'box, tailshaft or diff centre ) and seeing as dad knew the owner i bought it for scrap value-$100 i bought some mesh from super cheap and went crazy with it, cut my air cleaner box thingy and meshed the air cleaner and meshed the grill i also got some 5 spoke mags for $80 to replace the mix-match steel rims (you'll also see a racing seat in there, one of my ideas that didnt work) it took a while before i got a 5-speed box tailshaft and borg warner style diff then i got it running iv…

Hey guys, My name is Joe and I'm from Sydney! I'm a 2nd year apprentice mechanic and this is my first project car! My ride is a 1984 Toyota Corolla KE70 Wagon which i picked up from canberra for $1500 back in august! Ive checked over the whole car and found it to have no rust, just minor bits of wear and tear which i am in the process of fixing. I'm on my p's until April next year so therefore i can do much as per engine conversion goes so I'm just gonna save up for the engine i want and work on the interior for the moment! My plans in the future are: Interior: - Sound system (Double Din Kenwood screen with reversing camera, 6.5" Rockford punch serie…

just recently i had injured my self at work and was at home bored as anything so i logged onto rollaclub and had a quick squizz through the for sale forum.. and there it was 500 bucks.. might as well.. pretty cheap. Came as a rolling shell with a 4k and 4 spd box to put it in. the paint job its come with seems like its been done with a paint roller or brush in parts. Cheers. Paul.

Hi folks Decided it was high time I posted a thread of the little Tiara that has been living with me since earlier this year. Story goes that my brother is a bit of a car nut like me, and when I sent him a link for this on ebay, he fell in love and went hammer and tong to win it. Win it he did, and then asked me to go collect it for him since he lives in Sydney and it lived in Melbourne, just like me. It had a few months rego left on it which was handy, so I grabbed it, assured that nothing was wrong with it for a roady, and off I toddled. Here are some pics from the ad. G Complete with relatively gutless 'R' engine (note no numbers…

Hi guys, I've been wanting to put up my rolla for a while now but haven't had the time. Now i do so here it is!! I bought the car pretty much as it is now only less most of the interior and a butt load of wiring issues, so when i got it i had to wire up all new lights, wipers, guages, dash cluster, tacho and speedo. I also had to replace all the plastic parts of the dash as they were in a pretty bad way!! Two new front seats new tyres and a very helpful roady guy later and it now registered!! That said i am still having a few issues with the car that you guys may be able to help me out with. The first and most prominent issue is the idle. When i start the car…

In 1983, Mr Toyota decided to release this sexy yet sleek powerhouse of joy. He designed her with the most aerodynamics at hand, and to drive like a slug on crack, A little old lady decided that she wanted in on Mr Toyota's madness and bought this little devil from brand new, after arthritis kick in from all the shear head throw-back from its power, she made the choice to sell this machine to a lovely couple to retired her efforts. Five years past and rust got the best of her, but she still stayed young at heart, then, one day a hansom and strapping young chap saw this fetching piece of artwork and saw the potential in her, a couple of days later and an exchange of curren…

Ok everyone...listen up! Ive just aquired a KE10 corolla that ive bought while away! I havnt even seen this car! Ive just seen a picture of it and bought it unseen!

Picked up this thing for around 2k, really can't remember. Stock 4k 4spd Rings are fried pretty much, but still runs, brand new clutch before I bought it and country pack suspension. Original factory paint, interior and exterior are almost perfect, just a few little bumps from dings from trolleys and that, will get them fixed up. First things are first, new motor, it will have to be a 4k untill I have all my points back next year, so if you know any going around, let me know. Ordered for the springs to be reset, and for a pair of coils for the front. Will keep this updated as it progresses.

Hi everyone, I think it's time to show you all my ride before it gets any major work done to it. First off, I'm Adam, recently turned 18 and going for my P's on the 15th of Jan 08. I'm from Melbourne and have always been into the Jap import scene. Big fan of the skylines, silvias and supras. While being on L's, I've been driving an R32 GTS-4 sedan and was planning on driving it on my P's as well, but the 'no turbo, v8' laws came in and it was time for me to get a new ride. The KE70 happened to be it. I honestly didn't really plan on getting the rolla at first, but found that it would've been the best option for me. I had my eyes on an S13 silvia first. Okay, enou…

Long story short. Bought this corolla of an old man about 5 years ago for 1400 bucks. Drove it stock for a while then got sick of monster truck height so lopped the springs and got defected. Got off defect after about a month of getting it to regency spec and slowly its getting towards exactly the way I want it. Ive got a 180 for a daily so this is now mainly track car undefected so it can be walk in rego'd.

ok so out of the blue seen this thing advertised and thought id check it out, ended up driving it home lol already got plans 1. Paint job, thinking sky blue or pale british racing green 2. New Dash Pad and tidy up interior 3. New tires, whitewalls with KE25 hubbies 4. Chuck on my extractors and twin solex 5. New Brakes and lowered springs 6. Manual Conversion. and thats it, not doing anything crazy, just keeping it relatively stock for a cool summer daily!

Gday, here is 'Bruce' the rolla. Purchased for 2 cartons of beer. Have given it a bit of a clean up. Not in bad nick considering what I paid for it.

Hi Guys, I'm SatNav (or Tom), I am new to the corolla scene but enjoying every minute of it! Ive recently built a KE55 Rally Car, below are some photos of the build. (I have almost 100 so far) It's currently a stock 4k engine complete with webber carby and a 4spd k40 gearbox. The interior has a 6 point roll cage with double side intrusion bars, sparco sprint v race seats and 4 point harnesses. When I got the car it had rust in the usual spots(so I have been told) but not a great deal, so it was an easy fix and the paint job was the fun part! :) Please let me know if you have any suggestions ect.. as with any car there are always improvements to be mad…
