Rollaclub Rides

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…

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, i got lucky and talked Ryan into doing a deal for his EL31 GP2 Turbo specs are: 3ete 1.5l turbo 4spd auto(3spd plus O/D) TEMS adjustable suspension this beauty only has 108,000 k's on the clock, and it shows..! everything still feels near new plans are to tint the windows, proper lowered springs, and get a decent exhaust restore the paintjob, redo the stickers on the drivers side then drive to the RC meets and shows, til something breaks, can't find parts, and cry pretty much how i got her more to come

Suppose I should start a build thread . Even though I am probably not going to start the build for 6 months or more . Plenty of time to collect the bits I need. In the middle of a AE86 RESTO so it is taking all my time and money. So here is the plan , I am going to build it to peroid goodness , but not going to be anal about KE15 Exactness . She already has had a 3k engine and a later 4 speed gearbox fitted. Plus the horrendous , non adjust drums have been replace with KE17 disc set up. Car is only going to be a weekender on Historic Rego , so I will freshen the 3K , mid cam , twin asian and reco suspension and diff and drive line. Back to bare metal respray , a f…

hi all this is my familys track car project it is a late 1979 ra40 coupe we brought the car for the engine then relised the car was a rust free coupe :D ... the engine is a 18-rgu twin valve spring model, and a w50 gearbox here it is when we got it

Well long story short. I was driving around in my QNC21 Toyota bB import and decided I want to get back into a KE corolla. So I found a KE11 rusted to hell and back in a back yard cheap. Bought it restored it (well cut out rust) drove it daily loved it. But decided I want something a tad newer for the daily since I had a KE15 sprinter and not a corolla. Well I went looking for something A) Cheap, B) Fairly easy on the service and reliable C)Bland D) didn't care what it was. So I started looking around Camry, i20, subis anything.....Till I stumbled upon THIS car. It is a 2005 Toyota Sportivo with 160,000km on it. Factory serviced till 120,000Km and smelt like a really …

hey all .. thought it was about time i posted up some pics of the new shell ive been building to replace the rusted out old black thing... this is the car as i was and I'm sure a few of u have seen it around......then i decided it was too rusty and it was time to replace the shell.. so i found a very clean shell for $100 (had everything but the motor) and went to town.. as it stand right now the car is almost painted after some body mods.. and sanding, lots of sanding... i hate sanding now it looks like this! :cool:

hi boyz, i guess the title says most of what i need to say. i took a look at this car thinking of a parts car, BUT I bought it for a daily driver. my kids want to me to call it "Vash the Stampede" i have some plans but i sure no one really cares so thanks chris

Hi Everyone. I recently bought an '03 Corolla Sportivo. It's has the 2ZZ-GE engine, which is the same as the latest Celica uses. Also has the same 6 speed manual gear box. Has anyone else got a Corolla Sportivo and has made some modifications to the engine or whatever? Tell me what you guys think about the Sportivo's, and possibilites for mods. I attached some photos as well. :hmm:

I bought back my old 55' as I sold it a few months back and got a phone call the other day seeing if i wanted it back i was like hell yeah, so i sent my sister out to get it (I'm in victoria atm) as I'm planning on selling my current car soon, only shame is its come back with a broken drivers seat (i knew about this have been trying to get one for the guy who bought it) other than that the dammage is still the same as when i had it it now has 157xxxkms for the birthday resto (yes resto shes 30 this year) I'm looking for a few parts to get her looking showroom shmick so if you can help with any please pm me or reply in this thread I NEED: SEATS FRONT AND BACK - C…

Hey guys, bought this last week off my mate who purchased it off the original owner two months ago. Technically it is a three owner then but oh well :hmm: The grandpa was buying a new Corolla and was gonna use this as trade in, but they only offered him $300. so my mate made an offer and subsequently bought it. Its a 1974 KE20 SE Corolla, the luxo pack hehe. Has an 'awesome' Sanyo am radio/cassette player with Sanyo speakers in the rear trims. Has 67,000km on the clock. Stock 3k, 4 speed, runs well now. Interior is near immaculate minus torn drivers seat, and a crack in the dash pad, and torn gear boot. Has all tools including little case in great conditi…

So these are the photo's I've taken today (3 days after buying the car). Exactly the way I got it...but washed. 1989 Corolla hatch. 4 Cylinder. Manual. Kenwood Cd Player. 2 12 Inch Sansui Subs (I put them in). Ignore the back seat cover. (Sorry, bad photo's)

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…

I thought that it was probably about time that I start a rides thread seeing as though I've had the car for 3 years!! Anyhow... This is my baby, a 1980 ke55 corolla. Here are the specs so far: Running Gear 4K 1290cc motor from a ke70 bored out to 1323cc. Completely rebuilt and balanced, complete with a reground cam (23/63?), shaved 3K head, electronic distributor internals from a Magna dizzy built into a corolla distributor housing, regraphed to suit camshaft and compression. Braided fuel lines. Oil catch can, thermo fan with shroud, 3 core radiator. Twin inch and a half SU carburettors , custom linkages. Extractors. 2" exhaust with 2 1/4" muffler and 3 inch tip…

Hey all probably about time i posted up some of my rides. Ill start with the KE20. I started the project basically because i built a 4AGE KE55 as a daily, but then i changed jobs and now I'm not allowed to drive it to work. (don't ask.) Therefore i needed another daily. I already had a shed full of KE spare bits but had never had a KE20 before, so made that my aim. Shes a 1971 Aussie manufactured Automatic model. DAY ONE Bought it as a shell off Ebay for a few hundred bucks. Actually was in a lot better condition than i expected. But had been sitting in the weather for years. Body was straight other than a few little dings, and only rust was surf…

Ladies and Gentlemen... I bought this potential beast up for $300 and it drives, it has a 5 speed in it and it is the same build year as my birth year! (1981) Needless to say I can't wait to start on it. It's a KE55 Corolla CS It has a couple of rust spots on replaceable parts... but my main work is on the rear windscreen. It has rust spots in the bottom corners, which is common on the Corollas, as are underneath the taillights. But that's nothing the angle grinder and a can of bog won't fix :thumbsup: The body is pretty much straight. It's a 4K-C motor (but not for long!). I know it ain't the cleanest example but hey, what $300 buy is these days? I'll t…

this is my 1970 ke11 bought it about 12 months ago, when i first bought it, it was stock and had the 12" stellies and was one owner with its origional 3k motor and weak 4 speed i left it standard for about 4 months and drove it around but got sick of how slow and stock it was so first i put 13x6 mags on it heres a pic then i decided a 4kc motor and 5 speed gear box would make it go better so we fitted one and now it goes way better and i realised that the drums were a little under sized so i fitted ke38 discs on the front pics of motor it then had a respray in the origional whate and all dents were removed and in the process no rust was found at all combining…

Hey all, Me and Trent-KE30 took our Corollas out to a local dam for a photoshoot :) Here are some pics! Enjoy :monkey:

Well, I recently got a job that required me to do 150+km's a day in peak hour traffic, and as I only have a very insane Commodore (It doesn't like traffic) and a motorbike (Winter+Peak Hour+Rain+Bike=Dead) I decided to find myself a cheap daily. My very first car (5 years ago) was a 4 speed manual brown KE70. Reliable as hell, did terrible things to it, yet it just wouldn't die. So, for a daily, I started looking at KE70 manuals. I ended up finding this (very first car I looked at actually) It's a baby blue colour 4K-C 1.3L 5 speed KE70 wagon. Full log books and service history (actually filled out!) from when it was new, one previous owner to me. Had rego until Aug…

Hey Hey, I bought this yesterday for $500 which i thought was an alright price for a Ke70 panel van. Specs: 5K. 5 speed. Fusion 6x9's and fusion 6's. Leaf sprung S series diff. 1 piece tail shaft, Sedans have a 2 piece item. 1 glass rear side window, The rest are metal. Pictures: New dash going in when i get some more time.

I've had this all posted on 86 forums for a little while now but thought I might aswell post it up here :rocknroll: I bought the car around 2 years ago as a stock ke70 with about 125,000 genuine km's with log books. Since then I've been slowly getting it to where it is now, most of the work has been done by myself and a few friends that did the majority of the engine conversion. Heres a few buildup pics and a mod list, all feedback welcome Engine: -SR20DET Redtop -Custom engine/gearbox mounts -GTRS .84 Exh -3" Stainless exhaust -2 1/2 " Stainless piping -Plumb-back BOV -Pod -Bleed valve (16Psi) -Stainless manifold/split dump Driveline: …

Hi there I am new here and thought I would introduce myself and my rides. I'm from the riverina MIA and have just got back into corollas (I went to the dark side of commodores) Anyhow enough of that here we go. My daily driver is a 2002 acsent sedan. no mods except the cd player and wheels. there will be no others. My project is one I got bored with years ago. The pic of my ke30 complete is from many years ago after I built it the first time. Since then I tore it down to bare metal, painted the basic shell and then left it. Many parts have been lost and I am just happy to be starting with a shell that is pretty much rust free. The motor will be a 4k that…

Well its about time I release the covers from my latest acquisition... I have only told a few people but when asking others questions, they knew exactly what car I was talking about. So here it is... Its a KE36 panel van currently needing some work done. it is a baby spew yellow colour. I plan on respraying him red, like Redwarf Red and maybe have White signage down the side. Something like "rollaclub Parts & Service Van" I named it Mr Ed cause its a work horse. But if I decide to make it a show van, he'll be a show horse. Its a first for me tho giving it a guy name, but I think it suits it. :fuzz: Current work needed to be one on this car are... G…

Well I thought I'd post up here my project car I just picked up. I'm keeping the KE70 panelvan as a daily driver while doing up the Sprinter.

So going back maybe five months I found this. It was parked on the side of the road, so I went and knocked on a few doors and after dealing with some very "different" people I ended up buying this KE70 panelvan. My mates were into drifting, so this was going to be the token pig. Still is. Work on the pig began, so out came the power house 4KC, by this stage I had registered it and accumulated many parts. Luckily I sold the 4K and K50 for two bottles of Jim Beam, these helped me muchly. So I was left with a hole to fill. Luckily one of those many parts that I had accumulated was a 4AGE bigport, some T50 gear boxes and a few other handy things, and as a …

hey guys i brought this car a while ago but have pretty much rebuilt the whole car since. was just your average ke30 with a v6 and supra 5 speed fitted. i have since repainted the car fitted a vr commordore diff 4.11 gears and spool, welded in cams approved cage race seats and harnesses, full adjustable suspension and nolathane bushes, changed the wheels to 14x7 globes(street) and 14x61/5 longchamps(track). engine side of things it was stock but now has 70mm tb, sc14 supercharger (8psi) bigger injectors and computer to suit and a set of custom pipes are on there way to help it breath. first pic is the day i brought it the others are when i finished it.

Well, where do I start? The build I am currently doing is saving a completely molested and riced out ke30, full of bog, rust and mould. The first time I saw this car was when me and my mate drove down south of Adelaide so he could purchase it. Ive loved these cars for a bit over a year at the time and loved going out to see them. At the time, the car was rough as guts, full of rust and bog (which apparently the previous old fart owner did...yeah right) and countless more mechanical problems that would need fixing. It was bought from memory I reckon it was $750, not too bad of a deal but needed A LOT of work! Unfortunately, has a lot of rust and on top of that rust was the…

So i got a message from guy that said "I have a 67 station wagon, Very rough".. After a quick call, with cash in hand i went and had a look... A 1st gen wagon has been something i've dreamed of since i can ever remember.. And the thought of one being so close to me for so long... I had to have it. It was rough... The car had sat in a long grass paddock since early 1990's.. And it showed. Every panel dented, rusted.. Hyper extended door, rat piss interior "Ran when parked"... I had to save it. I paid the man, Organised a truck and it arrived the next day. So, Here it is.. My 1967 Ke16!

Hi all fellow Rolla nuts. This is Woz’s dad, Josh’s Poppa (ewt). My 67 KE10 was one of the first, if not the first off the ship from Japan. I've had it since it was about 8 months old, and now I have time I want to restore it to original condition. A little bit on the history :- The car has a genuine 68,000 miles on the clock. It was on blocks in my garage for well over 20 years, and Woz and his brother pulled it out, fitted new coil and plugs, and she fired up, running on 20 year old petrol!!! Let's see a modern car do that !!!!! Drivers door on it is from a KE11-12 and doesn't match as the interior handles are different. It’s in good conditio…

Just turned up yesterday arvo, gave it a quick wash and cleaned the windows and took some average pics this morning. This one owner 74 KE36 wagon has only done 35,000kms, came from a 96 year old lady in Cairns. Apart from a small paint touch up at the end of the left front guard all the paint is original, trim is great, dash perfect, carpet has faded a little around gear shift, rear bumper has small dent left side and still had the plastic on both front doors until my son thought he would un-rap the door trims for me. Usual plans of a major detail, but this one will remain 100% stock and original. Will post better pics later and will hopefully get it ready for the Al Pal…

I'm going to start a build thread. This will be a ongoing restoration, and modification build. Let's get started. I bought this car 6/30/2010. I gave $400.00 American for it. I drove it a hour and a half home with zero issues. It ha d been sitting a while. Rotten 13'' tires, exhaust leaks, you name it. I had been looking for a Corolla for a while now, and it looks pretty cute next to my Supras. The morning after I bought it, I tore into it. I have 18 Ma61 rims, so I put a nice set on it. I had to roll the fenders, because I pretty much ate the tires off of the first set of rims I put on the back. They didn't look like they were that close to th…

Yesterday i bought my first car. A 1982 KE70 Corolla SE. 211,000 km $2400 (pictures will be posted tomorrow) The cars story: It was bought by a mid aged couple in 1982, between regular drives it has been garaged it's entire life in west Ballina NSW. Has been regularly serviced, and never flogged. Was sold to a 27 year old guy three months ago, he was asking for $2800 for it, but he agreed and sold it to me for $2400 as he needed a 4WD for a new landscaping job. It's in incredible condition for it's age, such a lucky find. Only a small amount of surface rust under the back of the boot seal which just needs clean and a can of rust converter. Paints is only ever…

Greetings. I hope this is the right section for this, I did not see an Introduction section, and I did look. My name is Pierce Ford, and I live in Richmond, Virginia, which is almost literally the other side of the world from most of you. I recently bought a 1969 Toyota Corolla Sprinter for 300$, which allegedly has only 320 ORIGINAL miles on it (Sorry, I don't know what that is in kilometers, lol!). Some pictures for you: When I first saw it: Into my garage: 1977 County Registration Sticker, LOL! I obviously have my work cut out for me, LOL! I'd appreciate some info as well, does anyone know of a forum based …
