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

wasnt sure if id bother with a 'Rides' thread. In fact, i was going to sell her for a mate's 'Rolla, as i didnt have the time to do what is needed. But then Master Yoda(Luke/mate from the forums) said: "Power, she will have. Patience, you will need" let me Iterate, this is not to criticize previous owners. i bought her 'as is' and checked her over before handing over the cash. i bought 'the dream' or what she will become, much like Francis Dollarhyde in Manhunter ultimately wanted, the chrysalis to the butterfly. So here we are I figured what I'm learning as i go, may help others. you've all prob seen Mason's Ride thread, so i wont bore you with the details. B…

Thought I'd start a thread for my ke20 that i picked up a week or two ago, she has one or two spots of surface rust that's about all, she is completely stock with the 3k engine but am looking at putting a 12a in it n make it a mad little sleepa.The interior that is in the car isnt in the best condition but i picked up 4 black door cards and a black back seat all in near new cond and will install this w/e. hope you like ... pics

After a bit of searching and looking on these forums every day, i finally found a decent car to house my supercharged 4K. I have had the motor going in my KE38 but running it with 2 different carbys and not really ever getting it to run properly, i recently purchased a 7K efi manifold so that i ca get it running to its full potential. The motor is a KE70 4K that i fully rebuilt with new 40thou pistons, all new bearings, fully reco head with double valve springs, fairly aggresive camshaft that made pretty good power when the car was N/A. I have fitted a SC12 supercharger that is pumping 6psi but that may increase when i get the motor running properly on the efi. …

This is my new baby. He's a 1975 ke36 got around 380,000ks on the clock and isn't coming along too bad. Has a 4k with a k40 manual and fairly standard driveline. Put a new battery, the firehawks and hotwires on it as well as changing the locked diff to a standard borgy last weekend. It's history past 12 months ago is a bit sketchy, all we've been able to figure past that is the remnants of signwriting from a panelbeater's in Toowoomba on the doors. Plans at the moment is to put new bearings, sump gasket, rocker gasket in it and whack it all back together - it was developing a nice knock and had some oil pressure issues prior so we pulled it apart to have a look. Chec…

Hi Peoples, So I've been building my KE70 for AGES and I finally got sick of it. I HATE bodywork so I've scrapped my old KE70 and here I stand. My all new South African TE71 with Rego just gotta get a roadworthy and change of name then in goes the 4AGE. From the outside she's just your plain old slanty front KE70 except with short bumpers and no black strip between the tailights. Inside and underneath it all its gets very exciting!!! How about some CRAZY South African seats!!! Annnndddddd!!!! A 2T!!! This thing goes pretty darn good and its only a 3 speed auto! It would easily smash any stock 5 speed 4K as it keeps up with my GF's 2002 2.0L…

Hey Guys, Got told by some friends to join up to this site if I'm looking for help or parts etc. Here is my KE70. When I got it, the previous owner had done all the rust repairs and sanded it back ready for paint. I also got a set of 13" hotwires and a Blacktop 20 valve with the car. WIN! Cause I was on a time fame to have it on the road, the best colour to cover everything was a bit of Spray can Satin Black :P Two coats over the whole car and still looks good now (12 months later) The hotwires had brown centres so sanded them back and they also got the satin black treatment After a little bit I got bored of just black, so I did a 2 tone effect …

Hey, So had issues registering the Statesman in the NT so ended up having a whinge and moving it back down to SA, purchasing a Mark II and having that bought up to Darwin and registered. Since then have had people who own Chaser's contacting me saying that I'm the first Mark II they have seen in the NT, so yay :D. Things to fix: Sideskirts (replace) Front left corner lip. Rear right just near the arch lip. Things to upgrade: Radio / Sound System FMIC Rims Slimline Weathershields Rear Sun Visor Pics:

Hey All, The story goes "the wife wanted to start rally, so I thought we'd start with something we can have some fun in and see if we're serious." I don't know one guy that wouldn't say OK if his better half wanted to get into motorsport!!! Just putting the car up for people to see... Not much special going on on the outside, or inside for that matter! Bought the car for 400 big ones off the side of the road. It was owned by a few young guys that thrashed it round the paddock. Too good for that I thought so I saved it from a certain miserable death!! Since having it I had the hotbox gasket replaced. It was a bit leaky and the reason the young guys wer…

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 guys, Just bought this corolla about 3 weeks ago. Its now my 6th KE30/55! This one is the best one i have owned bodywise. It has next to no visable rust =) I bought come 13x7 spitfires? they came off a mates datsun, then got them wrapped in some rubber. After getting the wheels put on i decided it was way too high so i decided to lower the front end. Its looking really good so far in my opinion. I've also got a 4A-GE to go in her. Thanks guys, Mark. Anyway here are some pictures. ^Just after getting the wheels put on. Standard height. ^ After i lowered the front. Yet to do the rear end... ^My Twin Cam to go in after i …

Hi guys, Well where do i start?! After waiting 5 long years i finally have another corolla to play with, My first car was a ke55 which i purchased of its original owner, had a 4k in it converted to 5 speed, only done 70000kms with log books, i mean this thing was immaculate, at the time i was doing engine reco as an apprentice so i started building a 4agze supercharged over turbo for it, all my apprentice pay was going onto my baby. spent 15 months building and working and building and working on it till doom day happened, i was out in the city one night having the time of my life with my mates when i returned home someone had taken at it with a sledgehammer (a case…

Hey all, I just signed up here, as I just got my first rolla. You can read the history here: http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/53773-n00b-just-checking-in/ Here's what I am starting with. A 1978 Corolla 1,166 cc engine and a four-speed manual trans. It has a pretty solid body, but has a few rust spots and bubbles in the paint. The under carriage needs some new pans and other sheet metal work. The interior is solid but needs reupholstered. Here are tons of pics. More to come...

HI all so ive been on here for a while religiously watching peoples progress on there ke projects.and finnaly decidded to add mine its a ke11 it had a 5k 5peed otherwise pretty standed unfortunately just before Christmas the diff blew so as i was replacing diff i decided to lower it as well. even more unfortunate i had major issues with the diff being a different drive shaft bolt pattern and so it sat in my garage for a while and to add to my bad luck my house went under in the floods taking the car with it. water receding after floods leaving it wet and muddy after i stripped the interior and water blasted it very strange feeling. so at this point …

G-day everyone this is the first time I'm realy posting anything about my car it has come a long way since i bought it almost 16 months ago. it started as just a quick close door respray but after finding more rust than originally anticipated it is now just about a full on bare metal respray and hotting the thing up at the same time. I did have a 2tg which i intended to drop in it but due to being low on funds i ended up selling it. i have now decided i want to go a twin carb 4age and would appreciate any input you could possibly give me about the easiest way to go about it. anyway heres some pics of the build so far. This is how it looksed as i bough…

well i sold my ke30 during the week and went and bought this the plan is to have a go at drifting and in my opinion this is a great car to learn in as the body isnt the best and it can't be regoed so it doesnt matter if i dent it :laff: the best part about it is it's already set up for sliding with the suspention consisting of ae86 front struts, new shocks and vl springs, ae86 vented disks and calipers with braided lines and corona control arms. whilst the rear end has new boge turbo rear shocks and falcon springs making the car stiff as f**k the drive train is pretty much done with the exeption of a cracked piston ring which is as simple as a rebuild to fix s…

hey all i like to keep busy i guess. prefer having a project than using something is the problem too. the wife loves paseos and decided instead of blowing money on my cars we buy them and do them up. i treated myself to a corolla thou to help my sanity. how it came Shot at 2011-02-12 how it finished Shot at 2011-03-18 how it came Shot at 2011-02-12 how it finished Shot at 2011-05-30 how it came Shot at 2011-04-28 how it finished Shot at 2011-07-11 this ones now started Shot at 2011-08-06

Just acquired this ke10 from TE278U. Plans are to get it running first (damn electronic dizzy), fresh coat of satin black inside and out, some red steelies and crown hubcaps, whitewalls, venetians etc etc. i know its been done to death but i've always wanted one like it. Anyway this pic was taken on the way home towed by my brother in-law's v8 hiace.

Just wan't to share my 1967 KE10 baby. I'm new to this site and I'm really impressed with the number of KE1xx being restored, restomodified and road worthy. I'm starting little by little the restoration process of my KE10 and show far I managed to collect some NOS parts over the years. NOS Parts that have collected so far... NOS Toyota Old school fuel filter (I'm also selling this as I have a handful of this. :)) NOS Window riser NOS Door opener NOS Fender light NOS Trunk Emblems Vintage shift knob Twindown velo stack Grille emblem NOS Headlight frame My precious NOS tail lights assembly (2 sets) My wh…

hey all got this a few weeks back, ke55 coupe, totally standard apart from KE35 tail lights, Was intending to use it only as daily driver, while my other car is off the road... but that didnt last long at the moment basically only concentrating on the bodywork, has a bit of rust in the rear guards/bonnet etc, was half painted in gun metal grey when i got it, an looked fairly average imo.. so got out the sandpaper & started painting it in Teil Blue, only one coat & half done at the moment, weather has been to shit to paint :(. *this is only temporary until proper respray in a few months*..trying to avoid cop attention by making it just one colo…

Hi everyone, this is my first project build car. I have a ae102r corolla which I have done work on, but never done a build to this extent. A mate of mine traded a case of corona's for this car off some guy wanting to get rid of it. It had been sitting in a locked garage for 3 years with no rego and prior to that only been driven around locally. He was the original owner and bought it new from the Toyota dealership. It has 145,000km on the clock which I'm pretty happy with. I ended up buying this car off my mate for a few hundred which was the price for the replaced door and guard which he had purchased to fix the damaged ones on the car. The engine is staying stoc…

Hey guys Well its been a few years since i have had the privilage of posting on this site as i am now back in the car i should be, A Rolla :dance: I bough this little beast from a guy on this site (Thanks Rob)from melbourne unregoed and got a permit for it and drove it back yesterday. Did it one go 10hrs from Mt Eliza VIC to Berowra NSW and didnt miss a beat :y: No overheating or anything aside from a small start and idle issue which i am getting sorted tomorrow. Funny thing i drove just under 1000km yesterday,with no plates, drove past six or seven cops and didnt get pulled over once haha. Anyway here some photos after i gave her a clean up today

G'day, Been a while since ive been on here. Bought myself a ke70 83 5speed man 4k corolla :) mods and parts so far New Shocks all round Lowered King Springs all round New pads and shoes all round. H4 Headlight upgrade Phillips HID Xenon 4000k hi/low beam lights De-badge grille. 3kc head ported conversion Optima Yellow top battery to be done 14 Hotwire Mags new tyres Twin Dellorto DHLA 40 Carbies (waiting to be installed with new fuel pump, reg and throttle cables) and a general tidy up of the motor and box :) Got to take some new photos. heres some older ones.

Just picked up a new daily, got it off a German backpacker who was going back home, she picked it from QLD and drove it over. It's in pretty good nick body wise, very straight with no rust at all, not sure if thats rare for these things. The interior is a bit rough though, the center console is busted up and the auto T bar is broken. Runs good except for the whiney diff. I have already put some other wheels and tyres on there, the ones she had on had started to separate and were causing the worst vibration. Also put some new boat carpet in the back. Not too clued up about these things, but is the sedan diff the same as the panel van? i need to get it sussed out asap…

Back again with another Ke1x Corolla... this time, its a Wagon! The game plan... overrated interior and bay, Ghetto body. Motor wise it will cop a 4k/5k depending on how easy I can get a 5k :glare: It had an RX3 LSD diff in it, but thats gone. Standard diff went into it tonight. Standard front end, just lowered with Ke55 discs and calipers. Bit of a different location this time... under the Containers! I'm not use to working outside in gravel hahaha :hmm: Get a shed spot back soon so this will be going there! The plan!! What it looks like Minus the photoshopped black.. can't find original photo anywhere but its in poo brown pri…

Righto, joining the KE70 club as of tonight :D Just bough myself a bone stock KE70 Sedan that's in very good condition but a few things that need to be attended too. Is meant to be a project car and I'm also gonna drive it during wintertime this year when its snowy and slippery, so the 4K-C should keep up :P Might end up putting a 4A-GE into it cause that would be a lot of fun but I'm not sure i can handle all the technical stuff that comes with that yet.
