Rollaclub Rides

Thought I might as well introduce myself on here with a members ride thread, have owned the car Since, December 07, and bought it like this, minus the sprayed black rims few pictures of the interior,exterior and engine few weeks after purchasing the car, blew the gasket on the so called "indestructable" 3tc motor. i thought it was cool to buy some rims and thrash the motor even more, i bought some 14x6 +15 or so challengers with tractor spec tyres finally blew it completely which means the 'ol girl was ready for a makeover, decided to go with JDM 4age 16V as it was in my budget and readily available. af…

Last Sunday, my friend wants to sell his corolla car due to lack of money. I quickly agreed to buy it. this is my car. i need to restore this car to JDM look ... after checking the transportation department, the name change was completed at all. From this to this look nice?

okay. so basically i ended up with this car because dad grabbed it up for his own use when his motor bike was stolen. then basically i bought it off him because he no longer had a use for it and i figured it was a good first car. when we got the car it looked pretty bad. the passenger side front quarter was black from when the previous owner ran into a pole and had to have it replaced. so we got out the old spray can and silvered it so that it wasnt as bad of an eye sore. so this is basically what it looked like before. and from that point basically there was alot that needed to be done. we got a new bonnet as the one on it was sort of caved in and all. and we de…

Hi everyone, thought i'd introduce myself and my car. Name is Andreas/Andrew and I'm from melb. Ive been on toymods for years and ive playing with plenty of toyotas. i've owned a 3sgte celica st162, ke70 sedan with 4age, ra60 celica, ae82 twincam, a jza70r supra then back to a rolla. I'm loving my van :lol: had it abit over a year now and happy as with its progress. I didnt realize there were so many van's getting around! Ive spent prob 3hrs reading all the panelvan build logs on the site already. KE18s.. wow! love these things. Anyway i haven't made a build log of my own on any sites, but here goes! Background: I bought it completely standard off ebay. i…

One of my dads mates had this just sitting on his back lawn so i decided to buy it for $50 (not the best photo) The only thing really wrong with it was just the outside and inside of the car. All the engine and gearbox and stuff worked fine and was in good condition. Since my dads a panel beater he gave it a respray so the white wouldn't look as dull and put new tires and rims on it. After that the interior needed a cleanup and new seats were needed. We also tinted the windows, put a pioneer DEH-P3950MP head unit in and 2 pioneer front speakers. Then we put some seats in gave the interior a good clean up and this is the final result. Now i want to…

Hi guys, so far I'm new to this whole concept of the classic box cars..Sorry for the mistake if I'm doing the topic wrong. My dad used to have a Ke70 when I was a child, grew up in one for a couple years but he couldn't keep it. After I became aware of this cars are really hard to find. I finally had to money to buy one and find one in good decent shape. I want to this project since my dad is getting old, want to make a car in honor of him. I'm from Vancouver B.C canada and can't wait to learn from you previous members... 1981 Corolla 1.8 184,000KM Everything Stock,

This summer a buddy and me were going to the North Cape, a story you can read here. In short, I sent my white '82 KE70 off the road 150 miles down the trip and bought another '82 KE70 the same day. In two months I've put 5k miles on it and it's worked like a charm. Prior to the unintended offroading with the white car I was going to tear it down and build it up like a pre-facelift with JDM front lights, chrome bumpers and more. Right now I don't know exactly what's going to happen, but the beige '82 is a far better base than the white '82. Either I'm gonna restore the beige car with its original parts and newer chrome bumpers (that's if the white car survives, not dec…

Hey all I am new to the forums figured I would post my latest project :y: Not that anyone would probably care but I have had a 1979 2door mk2 escort for about 4 years spent way to much money on it and have had a 4agze with lots of JDM bits converted to turbo with a disco potato and a lt10s sitting my garage for about a year now waiting to go in..... Ive recently realized I can do a conversion on a KE70 for a lot cheaper and in the end I will have a lot more fun :y: pics up.... EDIT/UPDATE: Due to me not being organised i will not be sitting the engine on the weekend starting 27/09 (as i don't have an engine crane) - due to this i will be hunting a tailshaf…

Sooooooooooo......... Let me tell you the story of Surreptitious.... a "lowly" E7 Corolla sport coupe.... 7th generation Toyota Corolla - http://i79.photobuck...7thgengroup.jpg Powered by one of those... 16V 4AGEs that uses mostly stock parts..... ..... and yet now plants about 30%-45% more power then a typical 16V...(145whp) while MAINTAINING over 30mpg on the highway :lovin: AND being emissions compliant!! :party: That uses a 6 speed from an Altezza/IS200, modified with a conversion kit from LEEN. Oh... and concerning suspension and braking... I've got that pretty well covered too... with a complete AE86 suspensio…

Hello Rollaclub people, see a few familiar names on here! Thought I'd register and get my foot in the door. This is my Daihatsu Charmant A35, I'm sure you'll be familiar with the name as in terms of parts it is mechanically identical to the KE70. It has a 4K engine and 5 speed manual box just the same, it just looks different. They're a pretty obscure car worldwide, Daihatsu marketed it as an executive car back in the early 80s and as expected didn't really sell many. They faded into obscurity quite fast! It has a more obviously 80s look to the bodywork, very plush carpets and the most beige and brown interior ever. Asides from that it's a KE70 really. In the shor…

Hi guys, I'm a new owner of a pretty old rolla. It's a 1983 KE70 Corolla wagon CS. Just wondering if there's a site with a little more detail about this car, or if anyone else has one that they've done some work too. I'm basically keeping it as a second car, and am keen to take it on little trips etc, as I see that as the advantage of having a wagon ;) Also, does anyone know what size speakers fit in these cars? Maybe 4 or 6 inch in the front, and the rear speaker holes look pretty big- maybe 6 x 9, but I haven't had a good look. There's currently no speakers or system in the car at all, so I'm keen to buy a little system for it. Let me know what you think. The c…

Bought this off a retiree a couple of weeks ago. He bought it in 1990 and has babied it since then. When we found it, the van had been sitting in the garage for months. Came with thousands of dollars in maintenance receipts. Poor guy got ripped off bad by his mechanic. Initial plans are to fit quad headlights and subsequent front guards, wheels, flare the guards, tint windows, new windscreen, straighten bumpers a bit and add some fixed back seats. Hope you like.

i finally picked my self up a decent ae71 to have a little fun with its a ae71 csx auto (gaaaaay) pretty much bought it as a little project to fill up my spare time and drain my account ;) this is how it looks at the moment. ill probably bee looking at a manual conversion in the near future and some wheels to set it off a liitle.

Well ladies and gruntlemans, I bought Yota's van, and I'm very happy. Thanks for all the extra bits mate, some will come in handy :D Anyhow, having 340,odd kays on it, there's bound to be some problems. 1: It's running rather hot, sitting at half way on average. So far I've done the following: I gave the system a few flushes because it was running water (rusty at that) not coolant. I tried a bottle of radiator flush but it didn't clean that much crap out, so does anyone recommend something that works well at cleaning out corrosion sludge from the system well? I decided to check the thermostat, which is working fine, but now I need to get some gaskets beca…

hey guys, i brought this around 3 weeks ago for $500 in the condition of whats in the pics. it has a 4k engine and a 4 speed manual. i currently have it at the mechanics getting all new seals and gaskets and a full service. it has 15" dished meshies on the front and only stockos on the back (if someone has 15"meshies forsale please let me know). the interior is pretty stuffed but what can you expect from a 26yo car. i have just brought replacement carpet, new racing seats, 4" dished omp steering wheel for it and i'll upload all the pics when i get it done when it gets back from the mechanic. its slammed on its ass however i really want adjustable coilovers for it as i ha…

Just bought these nuggets to make a good car out of the red one.

1984 ke70 I'm the 3rd owner; it's been serviced regularly and only done 230, 000 k's In good condition, runs well, minimal rust on rear wheel arches It appears to be missing a left side mirror...... hrrmm Plan on keeping it stock and just cleaning it up and using it as my daily as it's my first beast. :S

Heres some pics of my ke70.not really alot to explain that the pics don't show,besides its got 148,000ks.

We decided to buy yet another 82, this one being very very tidy for its age. The rundown: 85 model CSX. Auto, air, steer. 237000ks. Engine rebuilt at 18****ks - 10 years ago. Very clean interior. New suspension. New cv shafts. New rear muffler. New starter. New rear wheel cylinders etc. I got it with a blown head gasket and found that the cause is a corroded head that overlapped the firing ring on the cylinder, I have another head here at work so it will be cleaned up and put on. The pistons are .5 (.020) oversize and the bores and exceptional.

This is a story of a family heirloom so to speak. This Seca was first bought by my dad as a cheap run around back in 2003. After upgrading to a new Seca in 2005, my brother bought it. After which, it quickly fell into disrepair as the interior and engine were being neglected. This became even more evident after sitting stagnant for a year in my bro's garage. After ditching my old KE70 "Stan", I was due for an upgrade. So, as this Seca had already been owned by both of the other men in my family, it was only right for it to become mine. And so it did, for the choice sum of $25O. Although I was quickly to find out that the starter motor, master/slave clutch and alte…

just picked this RT142 up on sat, should hopefully get a RWC done this thursday coming and if all goes well have rego done by next week. 310,*** km, 2.4 EFI, Very clean interior, run's very well. Paint's a bit rough on the roof and bootlid but no rust except for a little bit (that i can see) under the front passenger on the car body. Will most likely need some parts for it but it's going to have to be a slow project as i'm at tafe full time and work only part time. My plans are (once RWC and rego are done) get some period-style roofracks, roof spoiler/lip, roll the guards and hopefully fit 15 x 8 gold centre with polished lip (not too sure on offset, as long as they've g…

Hey guys picked up this car a few months ago for my brother now I wish I kept it because its fun to drive and when you can't find a parking spot you can just put it in your back pocket and walk around seems to have near new interior, Air Con works well, cd player, handles like a mini, 3au motor is gutless but I'm sure it can be tweaked. unfortunately its an auto the bastard is drawing power when its turned off and kills the battery overnight and the speedo doesnt work but other than that its great... I still want to put my 4age in it one day but I don't know if thats possible, it was covered in betty boop stickers when we bought it theres no rust, I'm so s…

Just bought recently (few days ago) a 1986 Twin Cam, Originally 4 days ago, I did not plan to buy another car, however a friend offered to buy my AE82 Sedan, and then an ad for the Twin Cam popped up on Gumtree, then I changed my mind, why not? :P Bought it for $1,600 with RWC inc from a nice old guy, originally I was a bit exceptional as the Twin cam was in pretty much perfect condition 0 Rust as well, and done only 130,000 KM's.., after I test drove it, it went very well, and engine was very responsive. Everything was bone stock including the radio even, everything works. However the radio's new home is the bin soon :P Even has all logbooks dating back to 19…

these are the new rims for it. front rear and the side i brought it of my cousin for 1000 with rwc and rego..yeah

I am deadset farken hopeless. I lasted maybe a month before I bought another car to go club racing lol.. Saw this on ebay a few months ago and was keen but the timing was poor, however its popped up again this week so I snapped it up. It does officially break the "only three toy cars" rule at home, but I think its cheapness has let me sneak it in. The basics are its a 1986? (I will have to check that) Ae82 Corolla Twin Cam hatch. Someone clearly loved it and spent a lot of money on it at some point in its life. Has 20 valve conversion, reportedly done by Toyrolla Spares. Its very neat from the brief look I have had over it. Painted Ford Blueprint blue…

Don't think there's much interest here as its a FWD, but what the heck... Car: 1987 AE92 Corolla FX-GT 3 Door Hatchback Engine: 4AGE Bluetop Mods: Pod Filter, 14" Takumi's, Stereo stuff in soon. Big plans for this as a track car, but due to funds being limited and more work time than car time, its on hold. So right now, its a daily driver. I've imported it myself (which i'm never doing again) so it took a total of 4 and a half months to get to me and then another 2 to get it compliance myself. Waaaayyy too much money, well more than what i have expected. Cons: Paints shoddy, little to no rust, top coats off on the bonnet, needs a new exhaust, an…

Story time! This is my 1988 Toyota Corolla SR5 AE95 4WD. I went on the hunt for one of these in July 2021. Looked for about 6 months and only found 3 in that time. 2 were full of rust which I wasn't interested in taking on. This one popped up with a issue where it wouldn't go into gear. (manual) Owner wasn't sure if it was a gearbox or clutch issue. The car had a lot of work done by the previous owner so I decided to jump on it. Ended up paying $1400aud site unseen as the car was 700km away from me. Paid another 700 to get the car to me. Car arrived in my possession October 2nd 2021. Overall very happy with the purchase! Diagnosed it as being the clutch due to being able …

Here's a few pics of my 1988 Rolla CSX, using it at the moment, until I finish rebuilding the KE70. This baby's got a 2pac paint job.

Hi Everyone its been a while since ive been on here got myself a new car and its a corolla again its like my 10th rolla, 1988 Corolla II GP Turbo 109000Km's Auto (sucks but it will do) 16x7 buddy club P1 Racing SF boost gauge 7" dvd player kicker splits and everything else is stock but the interior is really good unsure if i want to put some more power into it and make a fwd street drag car or leave it as is.

doing a 4efte swap soon.

Hey guys. My name is Justin. Just bought myself another corolla which has brought me back to these forums. Have been away for a long time. Clearly not as immaculate and new as the at the time brand new 05 sportivo but I'm still quite happy with its graceful aging and condition As far as i know apart from it clearly being lowered its completely stock. Looks wise with exception of rear muffler, lowered, tint and small sound system my goal for this car is to keep complete original look. I will just slowly source out or re paint new bits and peices to get interior and exterior as overrated as possible. Power wise CAI, Upsized throttle body, Extractors and exhaust.…

Hello Forum :happy: I have recently become a member of this wonderful club as i am very interested in Toyota's and especially corolla's. And was wondering what the price for a Toyota Seca SX AE93, year: 1990's. I was also wondering about its spec's and worthiness as a car lol :) .. like is it fast or like reliable ect. Cheers! :)

Hey everyone, I am currently 16 in Australia and own a 1991 AE94 corolla. It has a 4A-FE motor and I was wondering what mods I could do to it to make it run better. Don't have much cash so preferably cheapish mods. Cheers

Hi to all This is my first time here and new to any site. I have been looking online, and this is the first site to find anything similar to my car. It has a 4efte engine,98 I think and runs ok. Does anyone know about parts for this model?

G’day All, Perhaps you fine people can help me. I am the owner of a 1991 GTi 4AGE (100kw). In fact I have owned it since new (yes, I’m that old!) It was my first car and is still used on a semi-regular basis. However, with 250,000 klms on the clock she is getting a little tired and frayed around the edges. We investigated getting another second car and putting the GTi out to pasture (we are NEVER going to sell her, too many memories). We have rejected that idea as there is little in today’s small car market (Feista, Yaris, Polo, etc) that would match or even come close the GTi in performance. So we have decided that the GTi will get a complete over…

Just got this little beauty. Planning for big things for the little devil. Also would like some help in finding sites that sell lip kits for this car or lights and engine stuff would be very helpful thanks. pretty much to do anything with this car or type of motor. I'm a newbie with Toyota and this is the first one i have owned. always been a mits boy but decided with some different this time Engine Gear: -AE101 Corolla 4AGE (20V silver top) engine conversion -Factory ITB's (Individual Throttle Bodies) -5 speed manual -K & N pod filter -Apexi SAFC II -Cat-back exhaust 2.5" Interior -Sports short shift shifter -Autometer A/F ratio gauge -Ra…
