Rollaclub Rides

well for my birthday last year my dad got me a 1971 ke20 here are some pics of my first two stages of fixing it up i am 16 and hve done it all myself so far with a tad of help from my dad. the boot on it is screwed and all out of shape on the left when it was brought it has been reversed into a pole or something and had a huge dent in it. my dad got most of it out but its stil out of shape. does anyone know where i could maybe get a new one from.. preferably cheap. (: i am hoping the finished product will look something like this http://www.insightmotorsports.com.au/media/v/cust_cars/ke20/ especially with the interior would anyone know if it …

Hey, just thought id add up before and after shots of my new (old) bonnet before: after: opinions anyone?? i wanna 2-tone the sides too... (ignore the broken window) cheers, rob p.s. should the front apron be black too??

Hey Guys here's my KE20. Ive had it for about 5 months now after selling my yellow KE20. Its very clean and tidy and has no rust in her, being original paint that's a fair effort. It has been owned by a grandma for the past 37 years and has only traveled 45,000km all up so shes in great condition. Recently the poor 3K done a bearing so its been replaced with a 5K with a holden trimatic behind it. Although it will be switched out for a 5 speed in up and coming months. Drivetrain: 5K Completely Stock 3 Speed Trimatic Interior: Stock Cream White Dash Venetian Blind Suspension: King Springs Up front Flipped Rear Leaves Stereo: Dynaudio 3 Way…

New to this site, have purchased, finally found a descent ke20. Have always been on the hunt for the one. Found it 80,000 original k's everything on it priginal apart from the wheels. Am going to keep it standard, with a few possibilities. I have a 5 speed box to go in, and have put discs up front, and most likely lower it.

My little KE20 has a bit of a story with me. I swapped a VR Commodore for her back in mid 2010, and immediately fell in love with her, but she had a hard life before I got her. The bloke I got it from had spray painted it dark blue with the bonnet spray painted black, endless amounts of bog, and it had mis-matched stud patterns. My original plans were to spray her matte black and put on some spotties, along with the little mudflaps on chains I'd already put on, and make it a little rally spec daily kinda thing as I live on dirt roads. But after owning it for a bit, and bumping into a tree at some point and damaging the front passenger quarter, I lost interest, and sol…

Hey guys, thought it was about time i posted a few pictures of my KE2# series cars ive got back in NZ. 1st is a 1974 KE25 SL Corolla Coupe Deluxe JDM Version (Japan New - Delivered in NZ in 1974) Speedo in KM's 125,000kms since new 3k 4spd All original condition 2nd is a 1973 KE20 Corolla Deluxe NZ New 50,000miles since new 3k toyoglide All original condition New photos 23-7-2009 Have installed new Vanitan blinds that i brought over from Oz + new guard bezels Few photos of them together...

Hi there, I'm Ben. People call me silly because I sold my yamaha R1 to get a KE20 2 door a fortnight ago. Lol. I have since brought a KE70 and 2 KE55 coupes (that I have now stripped). One of the KE55's my missus has claimed (the one in the backround of my photo), and I'm in the process of getting it registered. My mate bludger got me interested in these things. He has a yellow KE70 panel van. Little bit about my car: 4k 4 speed, locked diff, and the finest quailty super cheap export paint job lol. Looking forward to going on a cruise.

Hi, I'm new here. I have a KE20 with a 265 Hemi 6cyl, it has triple SUs, big hi-stall and a 9 inch diff. Its currently being painted and ready prepared for the track. It is the 4th KE20 i have owned and definatly the craziest one. I would love some opinions on brake and front suspention upgrades. This is its current state, all prepared for paint

hey everyone this is my ke20.just been wired up. it has ke70 front struts and brakes with a vh40 brake booster. standard diff for now.. need to know anything else just ask.

Just thought I'd start a thread here rather than updating in the KE20 members section. If you look in that thread you will see photo's of were I'm up to. Basically 1974 KE20 4age, T50 box, Lancer diff and painted in Blood orange 2pack. The bodyshell, door and boot jambs, engine bay and underside have all been painted. In the engine bay we tried to hide as much as possible, as I wanted the bay to be very smooth and clean. The driveline is all in and the car is at my mechanic getting wired up and a few other things done. I painted the bootlid last week, so it is ready to be fitted. Tonight I got the rear bumper bar and taillight surrounds painted. I painted them in silver. …

This is it now with the windows and every thing in it. just keeping you all up 2 date

hi all, just pick up my new ke20. just sold the first one i had as it was a one owner car and wayyy to clean to cut up. here is the thing i love ke20's and love rotaries so I'm going to combined the two together to build my dream car. i have spoken to a number of people who engineer cars and they are happy to pass the car with a 12a turbo set up as long as the brakes/suspension and a few other safety requirements are met. i do want a street car but something that i can race as well. apart from free riding riding stand up jet skis professionally i really enjoy a good night at the drags. i will keep you all posted with pics threw out the build but here is t…

Hi, I just joined up and am looking for insiration to finish my ke20 as well as other people that have done simialr things. In breif, I am using a 4AGE bottem end(crank,rods,pistons) in a 5k block with holden V6 roller lifters, roller cam(obviously), 3k big port head(extensivly ported and modified combustion chamber), Hawk EC21 ECU and SC12 supercharger.

Hi people, i am new to this forum, and would like some help with my car. I am a maltese national living in england and would like to bring over my car from malta. The car is a 1971 corolla sl, ke25 model. I satrted drag racing when 1 was 17yrs old, and after nearly 7 years, i want to build my own car. The sl is quite a good car, being light and rwd. The questions are, what is the best engine/transmission to use without too much hassle, preferably turbo. And secondly waht rear axle should i use, cos I'm already on my second diff, with a 5k engine in it!! Cheers for yr help, Vince

hey all, new to the forum here but i thought id show my corolla its a 74? I'm pretty sure.. its only done 96,000 kms on the original motor. tell me what you think

ive already got a members ride on here somewhere for my KE20 but i picked up a 25 a couple of weeks ago so ill put everything in one thread.... alright. The KE25 came to me through divine intervention..... it started on christmas day when my KE20 shit itself and left me stranded at home, alone, on chrissy day. my family is a 3 hour drive away so i decided to call around and do christmas with some mates. one of the mates happened to own a 4age powered KE25 and he had run up the back of a hilux a couple of weeks before christmas, we got talking on chrissy day and the way he described the car it was a write off so i offered him 1500 for the car so i could swap the engine…

Any one know of any ke25 panels out there please let me know would like to save this one ;)

Well since I've had the Ke25 for over 4 years now, it was about time I started working on it!! I wanted a Ke25 for a while - one of the guys I worked with at Meridian had a rather modified one. He left & went back to boat building. When I rang him up on the off chance he might want to sell it, he told me he had (just) sold it to someone else I knew, as spares for his race car. No point in pursuing it further so I started looking elsewhere. At the time I was building up Harvie's ke15 (http://www.rollaclub...-ke15-build-up/ One day just prior to Xmas (about 4 years ago ironically) I get a phone call from him. Conversation went something like this: Him - "Guess w…

Hi, my name is Tones ;) I bought my rolly about 5yrs ago and vowed to rebuild it soon as i got a chance. I put a 4k in it extracters,made coilovers with ke30 struts,ajustable lower control arms, flared the guards and put some FAT FEET under it,ke30 diff cause i couldn't find a 25 one at the time. She went great for a while but eventualy the little 4k just couldn't handle the pace.BANG. :bash: I parked it in the car park outside my factory for 2 nights and some mongrel stole my bonnet and grill. :bash: It took 18mths to find a bonnet and ive yet to find a grill.If any one can help me on the grill it would be greatly appreciated. Well she is completly dismantled now. i m…

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just got back and what a weekend of racing, we lost a few races off the programme due to carnage on the mountain.... it bites big time when you get it wrong. Thankfully we had a incident free weekend and improved our times every session, found 12 secs from my first lap to my fastest lap and probably another 5-7 secs still to be found. Masters session The masters session is a there for first timers to Bathurst and is quite handy for learning lines, brake markers , flag points etc. We went behind a MX5 with a decent steerer behind the wheel and followed his lines. First impressions …

Hey all. Well my mate told me that his grandmother had an old corolla coupe, as i was searching for a nice daily corolla. So after a few weeks with him getting in contact with her in wollongong we arranged a day and time to go down (from Bathurst) and have a look (Friday). So we went down in my mates ute and went to look at the car. it wasnt as nice as it was made out to be but it was still really good. She was the owner of the car since new and it had always been looked after. It spent the first 27 years of its life outside of the garage as they had their "big car" (falcon) in the shed. But she sold that when her husband died so since then the corolla has been garage…

Hey Guys/Girls, new here so thought i'd introduce myself. My name is Mic, never really posted on here but am a regular on Toymods. Here is my new ride(a long story to go with it!) Well nearly 1.5 years ago, since I sold my Ke25 and since then been driving my R31 Silhouette. But something was missing. Just something about the R31 that wasn't there for me! Then i figured it out! I was missing the love of a Classic Corolla! So the search began November last year! One day while i was working at my old work, i saw a very nice Ke26 drive past me and go to the workshop up the street. So finally getting the courage to go talk to the mechanic who was working on it, i went…

Hi all, Just hopped on cos I've picked up a 25 and wanted to sus the for sale for some bits and thought I'd share my panno (now wagon) with its new paint scheme. The rest is the same as it used to be when it was all white, I've just drawn up a 70s inspired "race" theme paint job, rubbed her down, repaired some dents, and spent a day masking and painting and then cleared over the lot. Then I had the sign writing hand painted on too - hope youse like it. I love it.
