Rollaclub Rides

Hey guys, This is my 1993 Toyota Corolla SE Limited. It's a Japanese import and has all of the features you would expect out of Japan, except it's now a little different from a bog standard grocery getter :) It was completely standard when I bought it, but I've done a number of mods to it over the last 5-years of ownership so far, including a 4A-GE 20v Blacktop swap at the end of 2012. I've almost reached my goal of finding every single optional extra that was available from new, including some of the rarest items, such as the AirFantasy fragrance control system. This first post will remain updated with all of the current modifications and photos. To view upda…

]Hi guys, heres our '67 Ke10B Race Car, Dad and his mates had some pretty wild old 'rollas many years ago, so we decided to create a tribute to everyone who used to play around with them as most of everyones bits, parts ,cars; etc still survived it was just too tempting to put it all in the 10 for a bit of cheap fun on the weekend...... We found it sitting in a paddock after 9 years, heres a few pics of how it was found Brought the car home, started to dis-assemble so we could see what she had to hide. Intentions are to turn it into a budget Hillclimb, Circuit and Sprint car. It seems to have been modified i…

Well, this is my ke70. It had already been converted to 2 door before I purchased it. I bought it as a rolling shell and was going to put a 4age in it and as a short term project to get her on the track quickly, but things have changed and it has turned into a much bigger project.

Hey guys, I picked up this beast a few weeks ago, she's a 1973 Corona, 4 speed manual with the 12R motor. When I bought her she was similar to these pictures, the paintwork was pretty neglected and dull but has come up nearly perfect with some love, I have also smashed some Whitewalls on and have just bought a new grill today (not yet fitted). She has 108xxx miles on her and is all original apart from being lowered, perfect interior and a sweet little thing to cruise in. Toying with the idea of keeping her original or doing some kind of weber conversion etc on her - feel free to give me your opinions!! I'm on my iPhone at the moment, but will put up some more pict…

Hello all. Just new here but this forum has helped me plenty over last few months in sourcing parts. Car is still rough but is getting there.

Hey , I'm from norway so my english is not extremly good, some words is written wrong but i don't know better :) bought my first corolla yesterday, drove 4 hours to pick it up... got enough rust... interior is nice tho :) apart from the drivers seat and that the window on the dirver side wont go up the last 3 cm's... over mountain passes and by fjords, this is a tiny tiny lake tho :) unloading at home ... old , boring, smal, ugly.... :( needs some new paint , so i gave it some new paint under the hood :) ran out of the red paint that i was using so i want and grabbed the next red can ( another brand) and yeah... you can see the difference ( radiato…

Hi, I would like to present my rolla which is my sort of obsession :-) Its now twincharged and I think it is very near its complete state (which I am not sure what is exactly :-)) - Let me tell you my story. All started in 2008 when i was desperately looking for something with 4age engine. This E8 appeared on the marked and on the every next day I made a deal with its owner. It was a bit rusty but the engine was in great condition, car was light and nimble, had this smell of old inside :-) it was just great. I will post pics in separate posts of different stages that the car went through since than. This is how it was on the beginning:

Hi people, this is now the car that I'm building the 20v setup into. Its a nice straight ae71 manual csx. I'm going to fit the 20v and ae86 diff and all the good suspension stuff from the last car. Its vital stats are as follows: White paint - code AA October 84 model. CSX so it has boot and fuel poppers and a lush velour ocean lapping the inside. 397,000 klms. Runs strong as can be, but it needs the exhaust welded up for a roadyworthy certificate. The t50 feels great, the smoothest quietest one Ive driven with. :jamie: It has a little rust. The fuel filler is fine, the arches are 98 percent, the boot lip needs work but only on one edge (the bit above th…

Well, I traded ReCOUPErator some money for what you see below. This car will now be built in memory of my best friend, who passed away on the 6th August, 2007. My aim, if I have the money, is to have the car done by her 1 year anniversary of her passing, though thats going to be VERY tough to do, if not, I'll make it by summer 2008. Everyone on here may or may not have seen this car sitting in the forums, but I thought I would share it with you all. Its quite nice to drive, now that I've had it tuned and serviced. With the timing sitting on TDC, it used quite a bit of fuel, but that's all sorted. I really havent done too much to it since I got it. …

Well since I've had the Ke25 for over 4 years now, it was about time I started working on it!! I wanted a Ke25 for a while - one of the guys I worked with at Meridian had a rather modified one. He left & went back to boat building. When I rang him up on the off chance he might want to sell it, he told me he had (just) sold it to someone else I knew, as spares for his race car. No point in pursuing it further so I started looking elsewhere. At the time I was building up Harvie's ke15 (http://www.rollaclub...-ke15-build-up/ One day just prior to Xmas (about 4 years ago ironically) I get a phone call from him. Conversation went something like this: Him - "Guess w…

Greetings, I've been meaning to try & compile a thread about my other-half... I mean my car build (takes all my time & money, may as well be :P ) for a while now so here goes. It all started out back in 2006 when I became the (not-so) proud owner of an AE80 Hatch which was affectionately named Blue Thing after I discovered the 2-AC engine & 4 speed manual box not really good for much other than getting from A-B rather slowly unless pushed hard. I did however gain much driving practice after being a pizza delivery guy for a few years & found I had a liking for the handling characteristics of these little hatches, just needed a bit more poke. …

Hi my name is Ben and I'm new to the forum and have been involved in Corollas quite a long time. I currently own two Corollas which are a ke70 and an ae94. The ke70 gets taken out every month or so just to get things moving, It used to belong to my granpa before he passed away two years ago and left it to me. More details and pictures to come, hope to know a lot of you enthusiasts soon. PS sorry for leaving the cruise last sunday early

Hey Guys It's time for me to start a thread for the build of my 74 KE25. I have been a member for a little while and have done a lot research and have been thoroughly inspired, impressed (and depressed ha ha) by a lot of peoples mad skills with welders, engines, fabrication etc, spacious garages, knack for rare parts sourcing and seemingly infinite time and $$ for their rollas. My first car was a 1975 KE25 SR coupe and I loved it!! She was stripped in a weekend and thoroughly bogged (in places she shouldn't have been ha ha - fender reconstruction) and I sold my motorbike to paint her.....a stoked 15 yr old and his first wheels. I kept it for around …

Hello everyone, I have considered making a build thread of some sort for a while and I think it's about time I at least put a photo or two up of my Corolla. This Corolla is different to the Aussie delivered KE30 and it has the Japanese styled diff, tailshaft, brakes, brake booster and dash. My goal with this car is to keep the styling period correct and for it to be a lot of fun to drive. A lot of influence for modifications are also from my brothers RT104 Corona 'Grumpy'. Modifications: 3k head 4k block K50 Gearbox (KE70 variant) Single 40mm DCOE Weber Redline Webber manifold Hurricane 4-1 2 inch extractors 2-inch full exhaust 3-inch dump tip 7kg AJPS…

Ok so i have been looking around on this site for a while now and i find it quite enjoyable checking out everyone's ride so i thought i would start a thread on this little Ke10 that i have been playing with for the last 3 years. This car is to be my wifes daily driver when its all together. The story started after i sold my last Ke10 that i owned when first met and after selling it we decided that we missed the little bugger, so we went and bought another. unfortanetly i don't have pics when we drove it home but it was white, rust free and 4k, 4 speed powered and that was six years ago. so three years ago we started pulling apart with the intention of a full r…

Hi all, My name's Mark and i've been a rollaholic since i first saw a KE20 about 5 years ago...but as time went by i had less and less money and ended up buying a CHARADE... Now i'm out of school, earning decent money AND FINALLY SCORED MY DREAM CAR! This is my KE20 - 1971 model, i bought it off a guy in Parramatta for $1600 with 12 months rego TOTALLY STOCK & BLUESLIPPED from vic...it was in pretty good nick, aside from some minor rust... Next time i'll post up pics of my half cut and motor, a 4agze Mr2 aw11...The big port one with lower compression... keep rollin...

I promised myself that I wouldn't spend more time & money than I had to on my AE80 hatch. Known as Blue Thing, she was intended to get me from A to B while my Twin Cam build was going on. Long story short, things have changed a fair bit & while updates regarding BT were included in my Project Car thread, I think it's hit the point where it needs it's own. At the Picnic at Hanging Rock Car Show in mid-February. For a bit of information & back-story, click these links: Page 1 Page 14 Page 16 Page 19 Page 26 Page 29 In a nutshell, this car was as base model as you can get. Whenever anything breaks/wears out, they are replaced w…

hey guys thought it was about time i got serious about a rides thread, seeings as there is alot of dollars going into this car i thought i should atleast boast about it a little :rolleyes: its kind of a long story, but basically i bought it at the very end of 2005/start of 2006, too long ago, off here as a cheap go fast car. picked it up for 1300 unregistered with the 1g, W57 and alfa diff all there. blue plated and LPG certed too... was under the impression it would need a set of turbos and a crossover pipe and it would go. upon getting it home, i realised just what a mess the whole bloody car was. that was it around the time it came home. it then…

Made my first ever purchase of an oldschool rwd Toyota about a year ago with the intentions of restoring her and possibly making some money on it. Few rust patches (turned out to be ALOT worse), loads of gay leds/supercheap auto crap but heres the spec list: Engine: - 1300cc 4K - heat wrapped extractors - Some querky barely attached mushroom filter setup - Eagle 8.0mm ignition leads - New Carb that needs tuning - New points, condenser & dizzy cap - Came with free oil leaks from dizzy o-ring that felt like rock and from an invisible sump washer :/ - Custom fitted R33 strut brace - Somewhat custom 2"ish exhaust, one Coby resonato…

OK, I have always had an obsession with the trd 3kr engine from back in the day, realised I was never going to get a real one so I decided to build my own. I don’t recommend this conversion to anyone I did it just to be see if it could be done. It took a lot of time and if I was not a fitter/turner a lot of money. Hope you find it as cool as I do. - Phil Matthews-Frederick. To save a lot of questions here are the specs.

So far i have done body work on all the Rust, Inc replacing brake lines, 2 brand new yokahama tyres on the front with a good pare of 2nd handies on the back, The Radiator shit its self the 1st day of driving her so i've replaced that with a brand new one

Hey guys Have been a member of this forum for a little while and thought i might start my own rides and project post. Here's the run down. Bought a ke55 coupe off the net all the way from our sunny capital Canberra, which is a fair way considering i live in Perth, i had been on the look out for a couple of months over here but nothing was coming up, got impatient and grabbed this one. It's pretty straight save for a few small dings in the front and back, of which one has been fixed, and little rust in the usual places. (not as good as it looked in the photos when it arrived, the guy was a good photographer ) it's always a risk when you can't physically see the …

Hi All, I've been a member for a while - initially I signed up to buy a KE35 for my girlfriend, but having it sitting in the driveway and puttering around on weekends inspired me to upgrade. So on Saturday I pick up my first Corolla - a 1974 KE20 that's been in one family since new. It's currently unregistered, but after a bit of a once-over I'm hoping to get it registered on Saturday and drive it home. Immediate plans are: Rego Replace the massive racing seats with original seats (have to source some!) Attach the granny visor Replace lap sash belts with retractables Brakes - maybe AE86 strut/brake combo Down the track I might look at a 4AGE swap, but …

Hi, Well I picked up a ke10 off ebay a week or two ago. I was pretty excited when I picked it up because It was my first car, and It is my favourite car. I love ke10's and I can't wait to build it. My dad and uncle have had abit of history with ke10's, ke17's. ke16's, celica's.. basically any hot car haha. So they were pretty happy when I said I bought a ke10. This is what i'm working with. -ke20 discs -simmons rims -3k motor I think -95% rust free in my opinion, Only rust in the bolt on panels -Pretty good interior, front seats are shot though. -I think it's been lowered. Here's a picture of my first attempt at removing rust I t…

Since changes to my employment situation were forced upon me in December, I have been belting around in my mechanics AE91 Levin. Its been quite a pleasant place to be, but two doors didn't really suit having a 5 month old bub. So when this very clean AE95 wagon popped up on carsales for not much money, complete with rego until August, I thought it might be worth a look. Seeing some of the TCCAV lads's machines also helped the cause, their fondness for them is infectious!! Rocked on down to Frankston on Sunday, took it for a drive, did the deal and brought her home. I am very pleased with how clean it is. Allegedly owned by mechanics previous to the owner I bou…

hey as some of you already know that i had a ke70 with a 4agze then got a ke20 with worked 4k in it, selling my ke20 was the biggest regret i had so from that point i always wanted to get another one so now I'm back in the rolla scene with a fleet of cars. so i started by finding a ke20 on gumtree, car was in pretty bad condition and missing a lot of parts. it was mid way though a ca18det conversion when i snapped it up as i said she was had a ca18det and rb20 gearbox in it before i got it so was left with cut tunnel :S first thing was to do is weld a tunnel in so after hours with the welder the whole was filled, i planed to put a 4k in so next i fitted a…

I recently aquired a 74 KE20 to use as my primary track car while I finish a few other projects. It has already been extensively modified and mod plated for everything which is the reason I bought this particular car. The build specs as I bought it were: 3TC Bored and Stroked close to 2L TRD cam, twin webers, fixed timing dizzy T50 with trd close ratio gearset RX2 with mazworks LSD, 4 wheel discs, hydraulic handbrake 6 Point cage, seam welding, buckets and harnesses Rays 3pc meshies Mod plated for all of the above in QLD in '95 The bloke I bought it off was a dodgey prick though, and despite my only condition on buying the car that it be a 'nothing t…

Alright folks, Its about time I posted my roller up. Haven't done it yet cos I was too lazy to take a pic of it. Engine no: 3K ..... Box: 2 Speed Toyoglide! Frame No: KE16 - ....... Body No: .....

A JVC head unit yet to be fitted. thats about it, its just for listening to the 9am news …

This past week I purchased a cheap daily driver that would cost as little as possible to put on the road. Little did I know that I would end up deciding to keep this car long term. In my search for information to fix a few issues with the car I found this forum and discovered what potential I had purchased. I have an 1982 AE70 Corolla with a 3TC motor and a T50 transmission. It is a 2 door sedan, I believe that is different from the coupe but am unsure, with a bit of superficial body damage to the right side and no rust to speak of. as far as I can tell all parts are stock. I purchased it with a little over 213,000 miles on the vehicle. As it sits currently…

Hey i only just really joined up with rollaclub, and i thought i should put my progress up! firstly i have a KE55 sedan 1980. I'm a uni student so i'm finding the whole project thing quite difficult, but i work at a painting solution factory so a cheap paintjob is in order!! here she is.... was yellow now undercoat. new exhaust... 2inch straight through from extractors sports wheel feels nice! Clarion stereo all round. very loud and very clear! noisy boot though!! :o biiiig battery in the boot other mods are 52mm tacho mounted where the clock used to be. Keyless entry Standard 4K with 3K head, ramflo, and davie craig thermo set up. …

Originally posted 8 Dec 2013 on Calaisturbo.com.au - Hi guys, I've crossed over and i'm batting for an overseas manufacturer. I've just purchased a 1973 Corona Sedan yesterday (7.12.13) for those interested in the story read on, for those interested in the car skip to the photos! The inspiration struck one Friday night (22.11.13) when dad and i were sitting around and he asked me if i'd seen the shannons auction listing. essentially there was a datsun 1200 wagon for sale. i started thinking and went and looked and even made a bid on the 2nd of dec. i didn't win and was a bit dissapointed / all riled up to own a japanese classic. Through the week i wa…

I thought i'd throw up a photo of my new love i've been toying with for a while.. Used to be on here quite a lot, I left RC for about a year and something due to getting sick of ke70's and internet. My ke10 was being a stubborn shit and i moved it to my friends house 85k's away for a while. Built a ca18det ke30 only to get bored, Built a 3t ke70 for a mate and lately a retardedly stupidly spastic 3sgte build is taking up my time for the Celica Found it on Gumtree, After a phone call drove 300k's to get it a few days later and been smitten ever since! 1973 MS65 Crown, HM Motors rebuilt 4m and w40 Here's how it currently sits! New windscreen, …

**** Note - 1st 3-4 pages are all linking to incorrect pics don't think i have posted this in here yet, but the reason i am not making much progress on my 1uzfe ke20 is i have been finishing off my other one. I am starting to get excited now with eta only a week away. Here is a pic of how it stands

So, this topic may be a touch premature, but I'm quite content with getting ahead of myself with this. I'm currently chatting to a guy who owns a 1979 Toyota RT130 Corona Liftback with the 18R engine and a 5 speed box. He is selling it due to having a few too many cars about. So, I'm going to go look at it tomorrow and if she's even half decent at the price he's asking, I think I'm going to sell my Festiva and jump on this deal. Now, I don't know a lot about the old Coronas besides the fact that the sedans were fitted with the miserable 1X aka missfire. But, seems as I won't be copping that boat anchor, I'm very excited to become the owner of a liftback Corona. …

My 2T-B engine is seriously leaking oil, about 1 litre a day, the starter is dead, and many other problems so I've decided to move all the parts from the ae86 ( 170hp 4age, big front brakes, coilovers suspension, hydraulic handbrake, rear axle with limited slip and rollcage if it fits ) so therefore I have some questions that might already been answered, but I couldn't find it. ae86 parts, ke70 car engine, front suspension, steering components, crossmember = bolt on gearbox and gearbox crossmember = bolt on tailshaft = bolt on or does it need to be shortened? rear axle = bolt on fuel tank with built-in pump = same size, so I'll guess it will fit? anyone done th…

So!.... I've had this for a while. A mate of mine said he saw an old corolla his buddy posted and thought I might be interested. Called him and turned out to be a 67' ke10! ????. Long story short, picked it up for a steal and took it to the missus brothers place to store it. I had originally bought the car to use as a doner for my blue 70' ke11 but turns out its a very very straight shell with the normal rust in the spare wheel well and a few tiny spots up front in the sils in front of the door, besides that, I'm stoked! It also has ae86 struts and hubs in there somehow too. A few owners before me has a turbo ca18 in it so it's got a big trans tunnel which suits my p…

Hey, I just bought this wagon and I thought I should make a thread to show it off and get help and ideas etc etc. The car is a white(originally yellow) 1979 ke38, it has done 285000 ks and has a 4k with a 4 speed manual. Its a bit rough in areas(rust, dents, scratches) but overall I am very happy with this car. The interior is fair good. Engine bay not so good, runs fine, just been massively neglected cos last owner had no time for it. Anyway heres photos of the day after I bought it. Visor and all..... Random fake exhaust. (lol). Loving the rear end.. looks even better now its clean and fixed number plate and dent/paint. this is the good si…
