Rollaclub Rides

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…

Thought id finally post up pictures of my car on here so u guys know who i am when u see me Its a 1980 ke70 wagon is stock as a rock apart from the rims bought it as a daily dunno how long ill keep it for though but atm its cheap on fuel as compared to my dunnydore i get approx 560-600kms out one tank loves it :) Cheers guys tell me what u think

Hey Rolla fans. recently decided to get a ke70 wagon. love the way they look but wasnt too keen on the small 4k engine. was thinking about putting a 4age motor with a k50 gearbox etc in. i've seen a lot on this site going around and just wondering is it a legal conversion? or one that is really hard for police to pick up on? I'm from S.A. Would really like if someone could give me some help. cheers, claudio :dance:

any ideas on what ebgine i can put in my ke70... herd 4age's are easy, how easy? cost? cheers.

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…

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.

Hey guys, thought id share with you a project I've been working on for the past 3 years. It all started when i turned 14. All i focused on at that point was that i could get my driving license in less than one year. So at the time my old man thought it'd be a good idea for me to get my first car and do it up a little in time to get my learners. And also get to know further about cars etc. So i hoped on trade me and started my quest for my first car. I looked at multiple options as my first car starting at honda civic's (yes i know, wtf was i thinking???) right through to Subaru impreza's. After not having much luck in finding a cheapy, as only having an after school job…

hey all. as a few of you know i traded my little subaru sherpa to benzo on here for his red ke70 wagon, i loved the look of it, low top slant face just what i was after. drove the wagz round for a bit noticing it was missing a bit, so i tuned it up went round driving it having some fun etc when i looked at bonnet while driving one day i saw stuff coming from under bonnet and i thought smoke, so i pulled over, turns out it was steam, long story short blew headgasket cracked head and cracked bottom end in the 4k. finally made it to my uncles place where i could keep it till i got the new motor and installed it. next day went and got a fully rebuilt 4k motor jammed it in the…

Hi all, I'm steve you might might know johno on the forums well I'm he's brother, he found a ke70 white corolla for me and it works good. It needs a rwc test and I got that today, I think I'm here today to get assistance on it, to possibly get some basic parts, engine mount, fix rust, front left hand caliper, brake pedal rubber. Anything else you think you can help me with let me know. I'll be on the for sale section looking for parts as well this is what it says on the rwc test paper repair rust secure front bumber secure rhr wheel arch mould centre rear seatbelt missing brake pedel rubber worn front left brake caliper leak rack mount bushes worn brok…

I bought this KE70 october last year (2015), and tought id make a build thread now. Its been a year and i have done some modifications to it. Gotten a lot of help looking at different threads here on Rollaclub, so thougt i'd just publish it. A little warning tho, I'm not a professional mechanic and I'm kinda learning as i go, I've had mopeds that I've worked on and a bmw that i kept ''hellastock''. So yeah I've gradually moved on to what in my eyes are more difficult things. And i have gotten a lot of help from my father who is a mechanic. Thought id just make a fast foward in pictures and some comments from when i bought it to where it sits now. Bought it like this, …

Picked this up today, needed a car in reserve for when I find a new job and give up my company car - perhaps this will motivate me to really start looking because my job is utter bollocks. Mega downgrade haha, but I'm broke (new mortgage) and 70's are cheap to fix and familiar. Has a Towbar which will come in handy too. Its borderline for fixing....but I might use it to teach myself panel work and rust repairs if I can be arsed, shell is pretty good for a 70. As you can see though, front damage will need to be fixed, and a huge section of bog from a previous repair is about to fall off the back door! Funny. No rust around fuel door and only one little bit in the boo…

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 guy's, I'm josh and this is my Ksev.

Well since i have some spare time i thought i would make thread for at least one of my cars and my daily being the one i don't have to go into much detail with :y: Anyway i managed to pick up my 1984 AE71 Corolla in November 2006.. I found it on eBay with the seller advertising it as a 4age motor for sale. I contacted the seller for more info. After all questions were answered i came to the conclusion that the item for sale was infact an AE71 with a JDM Bigport 4age engine in it which was just out of rego and required minor pink slip. I carefully watched the auction till the end where i eventually won! YAY!!! So my brother and i began the 12 hour round trip of drivin…

Hey all, Just bought a 1984 model ke70 corolla as a daily/future drifter. At the moment its in primer and I'm going for the cheaper option and i'm gonna paint it matte black, Maybe 2 tone with lime green on the bottom, not sure. Its fairly clean considering th age, got 151,000 on the clock. Interior is the light browny/beigey colour. gonna retrim it with the colour theme, black red and white. Got 3 gauges on the dash and 1 on the drivers side pillar. kenwood head deck, Superlow kingsprings Bonnet scoop Gonna rolla the guards sitting in 13's but I'm gonna get 15x8 sportmax 002 rims, Red with a chrome lip. and I'm gonna get white wa…

I've had this KE70 for about 2 months and so far and I've only done a few minor cosmetic mods. De-stickered, old steering wheel I had, pool ball shift knob, monster tacho mounted dodgily in dash, seat covers & aluminum exhaust tip. The original tip was about 3" long after the muffler and the new one is about 7". It's just siliconed on for a bit of bling bling but it it actually made the exhaust a lot quieter. Current specs are: 4K engine with a cam of unknown specs. It gets power at 3000rpm Extractors 2" Exhaust 1.5" cut springs 14"x 6 Globe Rims E-gay bucket seat Here are some pics from when I picked it up. I picked up a 5K with a w…

i already had a thread for this project, but there was way to many different plans... 1970 ke20 the car is getting beated atm, then will paint it matte grey will be pretty fussy as I'm a spraypainter by trade. , red interior, want a real cool style like hotrod style ;) will be my daily. 4k 4 speed. be super low will roll stockies or hubbies. when i picked it up. got it blasted. fitting up before beating starting to beat body, fitted my new plates, look sweet! so happy with the way the plates look. doesnt need much filler, pretty straight.

first a little history, i bought this baby about 6 years ago and drove it around for about a year. Then i got started on putting a better, more horse power motor into it. Also getting the body back to original. let me know what you think and if you have any ideas please share with me because i have so many, and don't know which way to go. thanks pics

Hey guys and gals, Names Karl live in Adelaide thought id introduce myself. Recently bought an '84 KE70 slanty front (unfortunately but its grown on me), thought id jump on here and check out the scene. Mods are as follows: Bog stock 4K-c " " " suspension etc 5 speed 'Box vacuum leads etc blocked off (ones that you don't really need) for more suction slight exhaust leak from flange to start of exhaust and a decent stereo Pics up soon when i get them off my camera Bought the car friday last week (24th of November 2008) with a rooted radiator, fins were basically not there or just plain falling off, drove it back from basically gawle…

kethurty! ok so i bought this ke 30 87' auto and have since tried to sell it . but due to the state it was in it wasnt a very easy car to get rid of for the money i was thinking. the 5k i put in was old and busted so it wasnt a very good sales pitch. but the plans have change and in the last three weakends i have got a little stuck in.... things i replaced or done: ex automatic 4k , 125000 kms sump gasket thermostat, new radiator hosses, hose clamps, gasket, radiator cap, heater hose. waterpump gasket, waterpump rockercover gasket,rocker cover washers and rubbers, fuel pump gasket new oilfilter and gasket, airfilter new gear box oil new oil, new battery, ne…

Hey Guys, This is our first project car, a 1977 KE30. Bonestock and bought for a $1000 off the worlds dodgest bloke, dispite this the car was in suprisingly good shape. All the electricals were is working order, the car starts everytime without fault, the only problems were small patches of rust on top of the boot and the weld seems of the roof. But still it ran like a dream.

hey guys time to start another build thread so i found what i thaught to be a ae71 spirit, turned out to be a ke70! owned buy a young girl, i asked if she was keen to sell and she was, i offered her 1000 without driving it, took it for a drive and noticed that mosdt of the car was actually f@$ked, gearbox was noisy in first, seat had colapsed, tappets where going off there nuts cd player worked some times, and was plain filthy, ended up getting it for a decent price to say the least, fixed it, cleaned it, drove it, crashed it, fixed it, drove it, then the engine decided it would stop holding its fluids (used 3 ltr of 20/50 a week!) but it shot off a coola…

hey guys been a member for a while but sold my old rolla ages ago..got another one..just to bang around in..here it is..say hi :y: Its not the best as its my second car to just drive on days i got no fuel, but meh what u expect got it for free..lol hit me up..I'm pretty much a newbie to rolla's so yeh :)

I've been itching for a few photos of the slanty and flat fronts side by side. So we went for a bit of a drive out to (quite possibly) THE best meetup point off in the corner of Sunnybank Plaza, on the rooftop car park. It's basically this empty 24/7 from the looks of things. It completely escaped me to take pictures of the engine bays next to one another (ESPECIALLY the slanty), but I'll post up a few when I next get a chance. I'll start off with a few that are sure to please Reed :D aaaaaaaaaaaaand here's a shot of those tertiary bonnet restraints... you know.... for those 200km/h passes an almost standard rolla can achieve, yo…

Hey guys, so a little bit bout me, ive loved modding cars & never kept anything stock in my life, I'm slightly technical minded but havent at that much experience on the mechanics side of things which I'm really keen to learn bout & i think this KE70 will help me with ;).. My daily/streeter has been a swift sport for the last yr & now ive pretty much got my swift to where I'm happy with it so ive moved onto a new project & to start getting myself into drifting.. So i went out & started looking for something cheap, something with easy parts & cheap parts to get, obviously something rwd & something with potential.. So while i was looking on forum…

On the weekend, I was best man in my mates wedding! He also asked if he could use FROG 55 as one of the wedding cars! So I managed to convince myself that my g/f was trustworthy enough to drive my baby, and so we spent a few hours cleaning and polishing FROG! The day of the wedding, we attached the car ribbon, and put that white stuff in the back! The wedding was at Bethlehem Church in the City, and the reception was at the Adelaide International Hotel on Anzac Highway! So my g/f drove FROG and took me and one of the other groomsmen from my mates place to the church in the city! After the ceremony, we went to the gardens (forget the name of them, but the tram line r…
