Rollaclub Rides

hey guys, very new to the whole corolla scene... i went and bought my first corolla 2 weeks ago, a 1982 ke70 in half decent condition :blush: so just thought i would post it up on here to keep track on my progress, and to get some tips and feedback on the project i can't say for sure what exactly i want to do with the car in the futurem whether or not to drift, or daily....all i can say for sure is that i want it to be a nice looking car, that has that jdm look about it. so when i picked the car up it was missing a back seat, roof lining, and carpet however it did have a locked diff...which is a whole new experience for me, having only ever driven front wheel d…

Hi folks, thought I'd get a thread going for my pride and joy. The Car: Got the car in November 2008 - Model: AE92R - Build date: 10/1992 - Odometer: 176,000 - Interior: Good Condition - Engine: 4AGE - Unmodified - Body: Other than a little shopping trolley bruising, good. Here she is... Nothing really special to see here... another white seca! This is going to be my daily drive. I'd consider it to be a lucky car - I don't plan to rev the living daylights out of it... I'm hoping that if I treat her nicely she'll return the favour. I'm not planning any extreme modifications (but I do have a few small, tasteful ones in mind for it). Plans for the…

Seeing theirs already one on here i though i,d show you mine, KP38 publica, totally original bar radio and steering wheel no rust, dead straight, original seats & floor coverings, unmarked in tray, was going to put a B6 familia gtr motor but think it,s to good to modify so i,m gonna resell, if interested pm me

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…

Greetings to the people of this board...I have been a lurker for quite sometime. I think its time to post something in here, because some of my problems in my KP61 restoration project couldn't be solve. I will be posting also the progress my restoration project here so that others might also benefit from it.

hey ppls, we have recently purchased a 71 ke20, ive never had a corolla before, a few ra28's have been my only Toyota's, but this 1 came up for sale at a "reasonable" price and I couldn't help myself. as you can see from the pics, the engine bay and interior are pretty neat, the passenger seat will be restitched, but I think the cracks in the dash will be staying as can't afford a new 1, carpet in the front is a littlee worn but some new mats will fix that problem, maybe a new front carpet kit might be on the list depending on the cost, I want the car as neat and original as possible, even the original radio works a treat!! my plans are to respray it, new front shocks, …

So i Bought the Ksev about February of 2009, dirty old 4k, standard, Got some wheels, a new exhaust, gktech wheel, and basically havent done much else to it, Finally decided its time to attack it and get it looking somewhat better than it was, so i started by finding what rust i had and figured why not get into it and sand it back to give it a new colour. decided i wanted to do an engine conversion, found a cheap CA18det engine package and have started the process of long hours of sanding, welding, bogging, more sanding, fab work, and such.. Havent got a deadline as of yet, so atm i do some work, forget about it, do some more, and so on...

i payed $600 for this, in pretty crappy condition. plan to put in a 16v, coilovers, redo interior, new paintjob and pretty much everything else this cars got atm.

Hello everyone Ive been working on this for about 4 weeks now ive done everything and i mean everything my self as i live in the out back the closes town is 400kms away and then its just a tiny town called Yowah Opal fields (Queensland Austraila) . I hope you like what i have done with the face lift as i needed to fix it becouse i hit a kangroo in it and almost wrote it off and i throught if I'm going to fix it my self why not change the colour and looks of it. and i used it at a freinds wedding on the weekend.

Hey guys, Basic information for those that don't know me. I'm now 20, Second year apprentice sparky. Loved cars but absolutely no history on them. I feel that I missed out on a fair bit of my childhood not learning anything about these mad machines. So thats a massive f**k you to the parents. :lol: I learnt to drive in a N13 Pulsar then quickly sold up in a few months to buy an FTO, which gave me trouble and cause I didn't know sh*t I was getting eaten by a mechanic for a while. I sold up cause I got over the bills. Then I bought another, and then another! I then moved on to a newer car (RX-8) Which has been good to me, just general maintenance. But my problem…

Got this the other day, most of you have probobly already seen it on here. Well, i got my p's last month and went the next 4 weeks without a car which was pretty anoying.. so after getting sick of that i desided i may aswell get a little cruiser thats cheap to run etc to have so i don't have to borrows mums car everyday lol..

Wheels & Tyres: 14" Steelies with shiny Crown hubbies Interior: Redd :dance: Body: Sprayed matt black Other: Cool little cruiser/Cheap to …

hey guys i got given a 1980 KE55 for xmas, needs a little TLC, but I'm already sanding it back to get sprayed in red, then I'm looking at putting all the dash and interior back together (NIGHTMARE) i need some help with wiring on that issue lol... pics will be up when i take some lol...so ill probs be using the search button quite a bit and asking plenty of questions.... thanks guys ill get some more pics up ASAP.. needs a little bit of work as i said but I'm tkaing it slow, doing the exterior first then the interior, then ill decide what to do engine wise...

Thought Id post my POS rust bucket corolla that I'm going to get working on soon I guess... this 79 sedan deluxe was my aunts she bought a parts car and this came with it, so its been sitting in the woods for about 3 or 4 years so I asked if I could have it and she said yea. and I have a Datsun 280zx(S130 in japan I think, I'm not sure if Australia got them, I know yall have Nissan Z31s which is what my daily driver is.) turbo parts car, so I have an idea of swaping the l28et engine from the 280 into the corolla. it should fit, not well but fit, ive seen tighter swaps but this one comes close. I'm pretty good at making stuff with wood so I was thinking about mak…

hey guys, snatched this beast up quick as i could :P only set me back 500 bucks ;) thanks ruts for setting it all up and stuff, i've changed the oil and oil filter, air filter and adjusted the timing a little so it runs a lot better, and it soesnt seem to be blowing any smoke either, i've also cleaned the side strips right up and painted the rear spoiler, now i'm just waiting to get the red rolla back so i can swap the exhaust and cv boot over, clean up that rust and she's ready for roadworthy. heres a few pics i have: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y154/lamm...lla019small.jpg http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y154/lamm...lla015small.jpg http://www.f…

hey all, just joined the forum, thanks to macca for pointing them out to me, ive been reading around a bit and I'm glad to say that this forum is possibly the first ive seen that doesnt have any wankers on here. I look forward to hearing from you guys. Anyway, heres my seca, its a fair bit stocko, besides a 2 1/4 inch exhaust with a resonator and 1 muffler. so yeah it drones a lot :P . It has 16" toyota sportivo rims on it, fully sick ' high performance ' pod filter on it :) but soon it will be replaced with a stock airbox, i bought the car with the cams its got in it and i have no idea what duration they are, but they have no low down power and heaps of high, i don'…

Hey doods, After the death of my last KE55 sedan at a khanacross i was in search for another one. In a little country towm outside of canberra i found this: Its a 1979 KE55 sedan and its awesome! Another granny car but an apprentice mechanic was doing a headgasket and snapped a headbolt and they ceased opperations. So after weeks of me going to for a drive again and again i finally got them to sell it :) So the plan is to put my motor in it and make it very nice.. Teaser pics.. No cracks here

Hey guys, My names Lance and i just picked up my first toyota and first non-Subaru. Its a 1981 KE55 CS sedan, 4 speed with the 4K-C powerhouse. I bought this by chance as i was over driving a 302kw ATW Subaru as a daily and needed something cheaper to run. The storey goes, i was at work working on an old 240 Volvo and decided as a joke to search the classified for one to buy and drive... After finding only interstate ones, i found a KE55 corolla only posted earlier that day.. So later that day after work i went and had a look, and bought it straight away.. One owner from brand new, EVERY single service recipt since its first service. And all services since…

this is my #2 dream car; kristy calls it a land yacht since i was like 8 , i've always wanted a '68-'69 plymouth sport satellite sportwagon i never could find one, but found a super clean '69 dodge coronet..... so i put a '69 road runner front clip on it it's only a slant six 225, but i've already replaced the noisy 3 speed with an o.d. 4 speed and i have an efi 318 sitting at grampa's i sold my '65 dodge dart on ebay and drove this back about 2 weeks ago check out the dish....

Well i have had this KE30 for about 2 weeks now but have only just made a project topic it has a 4K with a 4 speed gearbox it has run into a bollard we think it has damaged the right front gaurd aswell another incident i think. It is unlicencsened we bought it at auction. Plan is to get it on the road then make it look nice.

Bought this one on Ebay last week. Was sold new at Canberra Toyota back in 1977 and traded last month on a new 2007 Corolla. Its a one owner 5 speed with air con that works great and its only done 110,000kms. The bonus was when the car turned up last night i checked the engine to see if it was the original 3K and discovered it was a 5K. I'll post more pics after it get the new wheels and suspension job. Have a set of 14x7 Rebel Wheels, lowered King front springs and new struts as well as re set rear leaf springs, a down draft webber, extractors and sports exhaust all waiting to go on.

Picked up this 1970 model RT81 Corona on Ebay last weekend in Queanbeyan. Its a bit odd because its got the factory SL tacho dash & 120mph speedo as well as the factory sports SL steering wheel. Runs the original 1500 & 4 speed. Looking for a good dash top if anyone knows of one.

rightio some of u asked to post up some pics of the elfin, so here we go!!

Yeah new year at LC, New motorsport Project, last year it was a 20v powered Elfin which we entered in targa.. this year its KE corolla Khanacross cars... so i'll keep you guys updated.. so far we have 1 square lighted ke55 sedan... :locked: Tom..

Hey, my name is Leah and i just bought my first car =D NEW PHOTOS ADDED! A red 1982 ke70 csXX flat front 5spd manual k50 tacho dash digital clock factory aircon I came across the car from a mate I went to school with (Matt99), who is clearly rolla obsessed. He found it on the side of the road and made an offer to the owner. Ended up buying it on first inspection for a bargain of $500. Unfortunately the car is not registered, but should be booked into vicroads in a week or two, just waiting for new parker lenses to arrive as the current ones are cracked. I'll still be on my L plates for a while yet, so until then my boyfriend is going to use it as …

Well picked this up a few weeks ago! Was driving my Zuki sierra everyday but it stuffed my back hahaha.......... Bought off a guy who was on his l's but couldn't handle a manual, he only had it for a few months! It has 132 thousand original k's on her! It has a skimmed head on it and a 3k carb, dam i hate 4k emissions shite!! Also chucked a twin cam steering wheel in it, cd player and speakers I painted the bonnet black cause the L plater had a pop eye sticker on the car which he took off and it removed alot of the paint! Umm put some T18 struts which have been converted to coilovers in the front and some reset leafs in the back! Handles heaps better now,…

New to the site here, want to apologize for my first few posts, I guess they weren't very good. Anyways, my name is Luke and I'm 25 years old. I'm from Spokane Washington in the USA. I have a ke15 Corolla Sprinter that I acquired from my friends parents. My Friend passed away a little while ago and his parents thought that he would have wanted me to have the sprinter so they gave it to me. I am working on building this car the way he would have built it. I plan on doing a 4A-GE Blacktop engine swap with hopefully a W55 transmission, but I may have to deal with a T50 for a little while. I'm still in the process of deciding what rear end to put in it, but I may ju…

Hey guys a just had a set of wheels custom made as you can say... just wanted to see what you think off these!!

Hello my name is Ben, I live in Arizona right near the Grand Canyon. This is my 1979 Corolla wagon, bought out of someone's backyard for $300 US. Needed a tuneup and a starter and away she went. Carb is junk though so I'm replacing it with a Weber 38 Outlaw that got for a good deal. I wanted something that i could use later with boost or a built motor that has an auto choke, seemed like the right carb for me! The tires on it started cracking and bubbling so I bought new tires and while i was there hell why not some new rims? Sure! I just happened to glance at the brakes while i was in there and OMG! I don't think they had been mantained in years so I dug aound and got som…

Hello. Haven't really posted much on here, only in the wanting to buy section once or twice and thought it was about time to make a post about my rolla. I got my ke70 in January and it is my first car. Has a 5 speed gearbox conversion, painted black, chopped springs, rims and some drift pipes. I absolutely love it!! Here is a picture of the night I bought it. Another picture back at home. Was all well an good untill about 4 weeks ago when I broke the rear main oil seal. So out came the motor and so did all the problems. I am lucky enough to have a brother as a mechanic (note: I'm a bit special when it comes to engines and all that stuff, but I'…

Everybody has their own method to the madness when it comes to having fun. Some people like to spend time with friends, while others enjoy hanging out at the beach. Then, of course, there are the couch potatoes that like to sit in front of the tube. My idea of fun involves anything to do with cars. A perfect weekend would be doing up my drift car with available resources I can get or what I can think of. And spending my ‘Ang Pao' money to buy hammer drill, 4 inch mini cutter, 14 inch cutter, a welding machine etc… Unfortunately, this sort of fun costs money and when you are still a University student (BTW I just graduated and sent my Uni. to hell! ), the "fun" can…

Hey peoples, my daily ride is a 1972 ke20. this car was always the car i was going to own and hey now i have one. its pretty damm clean for a car of its age and goes great all day every day. the downsides to the car are the small bit of rust beneath the back window, tiny bit of rust inside the door/window frame, a fairly large ding down the passenger side of the car ( previous owner fell asleep at the wheel) -_- and scratches on the bonnet and left side of the car where the previous owner went through a barb wire fence GRRR!!! payed $2700 for it and have plans to spend lots on it!! haha Specs as it sits now: 5k with webber carby 5 speed thermo fan mounted on l…

Hello everyone! So I'm still new here so trying to get used to this forum system. First I wan't to say that sometimes my English can be hard to understand, but hope you'll get hang of it ;) To the car itself. I got two Corollas (Ke10 and Ke11) about half a year ago from my girlfriends dad as he needed more space in to his shed and didn't have time for building these. The ke11 was just rust, but it did have a good 3K and 4-Speed, So i took the engine and gearbox out and rest of the car got crushed. The ke10 was in decent condition: not too much rust, it has all the parts and extra from the ke11. The stock K- engine of it was just bad so i'll be putting the 3K in t…

Well I decided to sell my beige sedan and most of my parts and just buy a better car to skid, most likely nissan. Meanwhile I was looking for a cheap daily Ended up buying this wagon very cheap off "TOM", great guy to deal with Plans are to get it low in some decent handling suspension, 'mild but flush with stock guards' 14s, and just daily it pretty much Specs 1984 KE70 Corolla S station wagon Engine: Stock 4K, small exhaust which sounds ok Gearbox: K50 5-speed, Xtreme heavy-duty clutch Brakes: stock Suspension: Standard KE70 junk, front shocks are rooted, front lowered a little bit thanks to saggy springs, 2" lowering blocks, Boge Turbo rear…
