Rollaclub Rides

Hey, as some of you may already know I have a coupple of other corolla projects, but i'v always wanted the 86 Trueno hatch.. so i figured i better get one before they become far too expencive... I found a decent one in Danmark so i went to get it! here are the pics form the listing okay some specs, New doors, bootlid, hood, TRD ductail, "almost" rust free, here are soe pics before he took it apart to rust weld it and remove the sunroof.. http://www.bilgaller...ta_corolla_ae86 annnnnd i got 3 4A-GEs aswell, 1 bluetop, 1 redtop 7 rib(atleast he told me it was the stronges one so i assume it was the 7 rib) and 1 4A-GZE in parts, also got 2 turbos and a cou…

Hey guys, I've had a lot of people (From here and just mates) ask where is my green Corolla, Why i haven't finished it, and wondered why i haven't been on rollaclub. Well, This is why... I've wanted one for as long as i can remember. I bought it in very poor non running/ rego condition 2 years ago. Since then the car has had the entire electrics gone through, All the large dents and miss alignments fixed, All mechanical components have had a once over and been upgraded or replaced. Car is a 1972 Crown, MS65. Body remains factory with just a few small subtle mods, and keeping the original patina'd paint. Interior is also mo…

Hey all, I'm from Toowoomba QLD and i just acquired a '79 KE38 wagon from a friend. and after seeing some pics of other peoples rides it has me hooked. i can't wait to fix it up. bit rough around the edges but not to bad. rust is the major problem(have a mig welder now so can fix that) will need a new tail gate and a few trim parts but all in all it's mostly there. looking at do a full 4k rebuild with either Solex or Weber carbs, cam upgrade and a few other mods love NA motors. such a fun car. my 4yr old loves it. doesn't like going in our 02 VX Berlina any more. any one who has info or parts please pm me.. can't wait to get this bad boy looking overrated.

Hey guys, I am currently vacationing in Thailand (from Canada) and while out bombing around on a scooter the wife and I saw this car for sale and ended up buying it. I expect to get it back in Canada in about 7-8 weeks from now. I been trying to find the exact model I have but all the pictures I find look just a little bit different than the car I have. All I know for sure is it is a 1975 Corolla, we drove it around for a day and it is a blast to drive. Both the wife and I are big into car shows in Canada and neither of us have seen one quite like this. I stumbled across this forum while google searching to try and determine exactly what I bought and figured you g…

Had a few ke's before but never a registered one. So taking some parts from my 82 model to fix this APR 84 ive decided to build. Picked this car up from Toowoomba with 225xxxkm's on the clock. Just a little 4k Auto. The interior is just immaculate! I fell in love with it and for $700 I couldn't complain. Log Books and receipts for the last 11 Years. The grandma took good care! Receipts showed she had only done 7000kms in those years and that the car was originally from South Australia. Plans are to get her on the road. I have the parts to make it a 5 speed but I love getting a laugh out of people when I talk it up as having a 3 speed tri-matic haha. Also could…

Hey guys. Thought I'd finally post up some pics of my KE70 Wagon, not my first E Chassis but definitely not my last and I don't think I could ever get rid of it. Bought it with a shitload of rust and needed lots of work. All rust was cut out and fibre glassed (may eventually cut and weld), engine issues were fixed. Got wheels from Japan (SSR Star Sharks, 13x7 -0 and 13x6.5+20), DX quad front (reproduction set I think), genuine PV front and rear chrome bars w/end caps and brackets, chrome weather shields, genuine Nardi Classic with a Personal long boss kit and I put new carpet in it. The next thing that'll be happening will be a 4AGE and it'll be engineered. Collecting qua…

Welcome, and cheers for viewing my build thread! I bought this car in May '15 and didn't really plan on doing any mods to it, but as we all know, things often don't stay standard for very long. I've always liked these cars, so when I finally had the chance to buy one I opted for this '06 SX6 Sportivo model. It came with 18" TRD wheels, but apart from that it was all stock. It's not very often you see modified Aurions here in New Zealand so it leaves people wondering what the hell it is, while still blending in as a family sedan at the same time. The car now wears 19x9.5" Vertini Magic concave wheels, along with an array of other mods that contribute to the overall loo…

Well, I thought I'd better catch up with the Golden Hoonicorn.. I haven't written anything on it and I've had several trips up and down to the Woolshed in it. A few years back I was travelling North with my bro and saw a lovely gold XX flatfront auto sitting in the main street of Gulgong. As I was leaving a note on it the lady who owned it appeared so we had a chat. Maybe a year later she phones up and says its for sale now. I sent an email to Steve saying a lady had ph'd me with a really nice XX I'd left a note on, and he sends back the same!! He'd seen it on the way back from the Orange Rally and left a note too, and she'd phoned us both! I was off and …

I'm on the hunt for some classic Corollas from the 70's, 80's and late 90's for an online commercial for Toyota Corolla. We would need your Corolla for 2 days of filming in Sydney in late November. The car will need to be driven by someone else whilst filming is taking place. Utmost care will be taken to ensure the vehicle is always looked after. The care must be in good order and registered. You will be paid for the usage of your car for 2 days. Let me know how much you would like to be paid and if you are interested I can let you know more details. Cheers Andrew 0437295643

Hey All, Decided to create a build page to hopefully keep myself inspired. So story is 4agte into KE30. This is not my first build however as I am pulling out my 4A from my ae92 build to go rwd. Engine has been completely rebuilt a few years back and I have done maybe 1,000km on it and had trouble with the charger so stopped driving it. So loom pulled, just need to do fluids and driveshaft’s and I’m ready to lift. At this stage the 30 is pretty rough needs paint etc, but wanna mount up engine and drive for a bit, break a few stock diffs then do it all properly. Here’s where I’m at.

I thought i would start a new thread because i got another ke36 and try make this thread better.. so the car is a Ke36 1976 came with a smokey 3k then swapped it out for a shitty 4k. first day picking her up

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 currently residing in my home country of South Africa for a while. Of course my current demographic area will change the options of classic cars compared to Aus. But Corollas , this place has plenty ! The great thing about finding/hunting for classic cars in this country is that we have large cities inland very far from the sea's salty breeze and humidity. That is where this story beginnings in a city called Pietermaritzburg. I posted an ad on our local Gumtree looking for Corollas,Datsuns,Cressidas and boy was i offered some nice stuff, 1200Gx, Mx32's, and many many Ke70/71s but one stood out, A Red Ke70 , 1 owner from new , and paper work and I mean ALL …

Bought this a while ago Its running 20v on itb at the minute I'm converting to a 1jz ( i purchased mount kit off site member )

Hello everyone! I'm Andrew and I've been a long long long time stalker of this website and I was thinking it's probably time to post up a few pics of my 55 that I'm currently "fixing up", It's nothing special but I love it and I hope some of you guys do as well! Anyway here's a few things about it! It's has a stock as a rock 4k with unknown K's 32/36 weber off an escort Set of extractors and a 1 3/4 inch exhaust with a lot of holes (it is very loud) Nice little deep dish sports wheel Set of 13x7 spitfire wheels And a few other bits a pieces here and there Once I jump onto a computer I'll upload a few more pics here's one to get you gu…

Godey guys, Toby here! I've purchased my second corolla ever after a 5 year gap between KE70's. I found her on these very forums, granny spec one owner, family car it soon became very clear this wasn't the average clapped out plate swapped and thrashed KE I'm used to seeing here in Adelaide so I snapped her up. With that said I paid $2000 for her. My grandfather who still thinks he needs to chauffeur me to every single car I look at wasn't please another old car that will be a money pit to fix all the problems he kept on telling me while I tried to assure him he was wrong. But in all truth he was half right, yes it would be a money pit but that wouldn't be because she …

Hi RollaClub, I'm Andy and i recently bought my first car! Its a 1983 KE70. Its stock as a rock with a 4k and 4 speed. I bought this car intending to put it on club plates and when i turn 18 it will be my daily. Pros about this car specifically - Ke70's are my favourite of all Corollas I'm familiar with the 4K Its BEAUTIFUL Came on some nice meshies Its in good nick generally Came with some nice speakers/sub Cons- A small amount of rust in the boot seal (10c piece) and some bubbles on the roof Interior is a bit worn and teared, but easily fixed with covers. It's a flat front, i love slanty cars but this one is growing on me :P Bonnet is a differ…

picked this up a few weeks ago, just put fresh rego on it nd am currently in the process of prepping for an in your face paint job.. picking up rims for it this weekend too.

Hi, as some of you might knew i bought another KE20 a coupple of weeks back.. got it for 10 000 NOK = 1600 aud got a shit load of pars with it -2T-GEU in parts -Trd oil pump -twin 40 solexes -T50 gearbox early type so it fits ke20 driveshaft -2tg to ke20 engine mounts -4x KN diamond 4x110 rims with tyres -4x Borbet T 9x16 with 4x semislicks, he payed 1100 aud just for the tires - 4x orignal wheels with tyres - a whole new steering in parts, all new busings for the whole car etc.. -a front of another ke20 cut up, almost rust free -27mm front swaybar -shortned struts with aw11 dampers -shorter and stiffer rear dampers -rear swaybar -LSD diff ( Phanto…

yet another find for me out in the sticks :) I saw this car advertised on a local facebook sales page earlier in the year for $500, and after not being able to find the page again assumed it had been sold. long story short the supposed buyer wasn't interested in doing any repairs after inspecting it (has a few patches of rust) so the owner pmd me and offered it to me for $150 because she was moving overseas and needed it gone, so I'm the new proud owner :) its a 1977 ke30 4 door auto, rust in usual places, interior is half shagged, smells of mice and old people, but it runs and drives......but doesn't stop as the brakes need work :/ so far I have stripped the interior, cl…

So I have recently began prospecting Tijuana Mexico for some classic Japanese cars. I live in San Diego and now am looking into importing cars from Mexico mostly interested in Datsun, Toyota and some Honda. I began to network with some car heads down south and have come to meet a group that meets frequently. The cars are not the best but I hope to befriend many of these guys in hopes of buying their cars from them and bringing them to CA. Here are two cars in which I came across today August 8th, 2015. I am also looking into how to export these shells or rolling chassis to other countries perhaps Europe.

Hey guys, been a while since I've kicked around here. Have moved to slightly bigger chassis than the old KE's, although I still have my 7K KE25 sitting in the shed. Here's the new whip. 1992 GLX MX83 Cressida. Part GLX and part Grande interior, Grande 3.9 LSD, Camry GXP 17" wheels. Also, replacing the stinky old 7MGE head gasket muncher is this little package, Standard 1JZ from a Z30 Soarer, running standard twins, JZX81 ECU and JZX81 auto with a MV autos stage 1 shift kit. Went really well and pushed 160rwkw. So standard twins and 160rwkw was alright, did a decent skid and all... Then a little combo popped up on eBay, so I made it mine. Gar…

Hey guys new member here Have had a couple of corollas over the years including ae82 ke55 ke70 and now I own an ae93 gti Car as I got it 4age 16v Extractors with full exhaust Coil overs 17 inch white alloys (now on steel 14 inch to pass rwc) Bucket drivers seat ( now has Levin front seats) It does need a bit of love and can't wait to get it on the road

Hey all, I thought that its about time I re-introduce myself and my new acquisition, I picked this KE15 up a couple of weeks ago off another forum member, so far I have only tidied it up a bit and got registered. I have just grabbed the pictures I have already shared on Facebook... This was the day I picked it up: Then once I got it home giving it a tidy up: some of the pictures are a bit out of order but you get the idea ] And then yesterday as soon as I got it registered: So plans for it: very shor…

Hey all. long time member but have been inactive for a long time. Here is my MS85 crown rolling on lincoln continental wheels. So i got this car cheap. real cheap. knackered 4m. well knackered everything. I found a rebuilt 4m dirt cheap and put it in. got it running and driving then played the game of replacing everything. First i replaced all steering componenets. then Shocks. Then all the bushes. Drove so nice. albeit slow. Always felt that it needed a v8. but was content to drive it as it was for a long while. then a soarer came along for a measly sum of $550. so bye bye 4m and hello 1uz. i'm about to throw myself into this conversion but i have re…

Before & After

Hi, i bought a ke20 last week with lots of parts and a 2tg.. the 2tg is going in my other ride, and the plan was to scrap the body, but its too damn stright and nice to scrap! so I'm going to make a mean looking rolla instead! pics! when i bought the car, the seller was going to move to another country.. got it home finally Just mocked it up, no front suspention... mocking up stuff, 9x16 inch rims in front, 225/45-16 streetslicks 265 wide streetslicks, goign to widen the rims 5-10 cm :D i also have a te27 ducktail that i will use... thinking of putting a worked 3k in there and i have shortened front supstenion and shrotened rear shocks..

Just started doing up my 1988 ae82 corolla. Was completely stock when I got it. Was a gift from parents so hadn't spent a cent on it. Now I've cut the back Springs 100mm. Rode rough as anything. So chucked some tennis balls in the spring now it just rides smooth but bouncy. Going to paint it myself. Did a panel matte black see what it looks like I like it but thinking about doing a dirty white. De badged it. Took the muffler off and it sounded like a dirty thirty. Cutting front Springs tomorrow. Other mods I want to do, a nice set of wheels, thinking about chucking some roof racks and a rear Window spoiler thing like a little lip, some sort of exhaust. When I can fig…

This is my 1978 te51 corolla in Iowa. I'm a new member to the site, and very new to classic imports.I'm sure I will have many questions, but will try to find my answers using the search button. A little info on the car: 1978 te51 I found in the "back row beauties" of a local Ford lot. They told me the original owners wife traded the car off after he passed away. They also told me the car was redone about ten years ago and sat in the old guys garage. Hope you all like it, and hopefully I can find the info I need to get the car running correctly again. It has the original 2t-c and automatic

Hi there all. I've been pretty slack and never uploaded any pics. I've had this Ke10 for about 18 months now and have since stripped it back and painted it. Here are some pics.

Some of you may remember me from my turbo AE86: http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/68849-ae86-4agteall-the-gear-no-idea/page__p__678061#entry678061 I've continued the Sprinter theme and aquired a genuine KE17 SL. I have been on the search for along time for one of these. When this one came up in WA, I had to jump on it. After the deal was done and the car sent over on the train, it landed at my place. I finally came home from work 2 weeks later and have been able to have a good look at it. I'm very happy. It needs work, but what 45 year old car doesn't???

here is my AE71 that I bought running with a blacktop 20v running standard ecu, and running like shit with vacuum leaks and wiring issues, used it as a daily until I lost my license, (p plate fell down on good behaviour 😔 so I decided i would turn it into a drift car because I'll have a lot more fun on the track with it! Specs on how I got it, Weldy Chopped springs front and rear with kyb AGX shocks in the front with xt130 struts brakes and lcas And using dodgy coolant hoses going to the back of the engine with fwd cooling system Has a dizzy relocation to the front That's about all it had from the start!

Well time to stat a build log for the KE20 I'm about to start. Plan is to paint it a complete cherry Red as the engine bay already is, creamy white interior (trying to source original), black carpets. Specs: Black Top ITB's 16v 7A-GE Hilux Diff with a 3.9 diff head (or around'a'bouts) Mazda RX7 Front and Rear callipers Car all ready has the hilux diff in it, which is about 50mm shorter overall than standard so can put some nice dish rims on the back. Maybe some SSH meshies or Volk Rays

Hi, Just wanted to show you my KE10, it's in Malta (EU) and is a 4-door version. I own the car for 3 years now and currently respraying it. When I bought the KE10 it was in reasonable condition but sprayed 3-4 times over the original paint, causing some strange effects over the years. I am the second owner of the car.

I'm after a couple of nicely done-up KE70's for my wedding cars. Please get in touch if you're in Sydney/Central Coast/Newcastle region and would be interested. Josh - 0422 five nine two 507

Got the first stage of the Gorilla done, 4 link rear end, shortened Hilux Diff with ford axles and disc brakes, coarse adjustable inverted watts link, adjustable sway bar, in a KE55. The plan with the car is to build a bit of an all rounder, as we don't get enough drag racing, or track racing here to specialise in one or the other. I'm building it so that I can adjust bars/springs change wheels and tyres and have a bit of fun any chance I get. A bit like a track car that I can get to hook up at the strip. Has been 2 years to get this far, but slow progress is still progress! I have a Commodore K-frame sitting on the floor in the shed, and I've heard that they can be put …

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…

It begins.

I was looking at philbey's pictures and saw this wagon at a great angle...hope he doesn't mind me chopping it up. They made a 2 door, a 4 door, a fastback and a wagon, ...I think it would have made a good looking truck too.
