Rollaclub Rides

Unmodified, original paint, original interior, original hub caps, new engine, cold air con, runs like a dream

HI 2 all,ok so the ideas are spinning around in my head now. today they traveled down my arm onto paper (the cheap way to see what ideas will look like). as previously mentioned the front was goin to be custom,so here is the first few ideas.. black one has each headlight with its own frenched opening,the red one is of the open type full frenching.ala 60`s style as seen on many fj holdens back then.i have decided that straight up and down is hte way to go.with h a 54 desoto grill the preffered option. what do you think HI 2 All again, well i have rambled on about this vauxhall ute in other parts of my topics. and just to shock every one and show that it rea…

hey guys. Been meaning to put a thread up for ages but never got around to it, so here it is.. My cousin Justin (ke26_wagon) and i have been building the ke26 for the most of the year now. Always loved ke20's and ke26's and came across this wags, which is formerly another members car (PHATKE20S) dougie. SDR at windsor have mounted the engine, gearbox, made the manifold and the dump pipe. Plans for the car are: - 13b series 5 import motor unopened - GT3776 standard bearing turbo 1.12 rear - Microtech or Haltech, havent decided yet - Standard injectors to start with, if it doesnt run well, will get 1000cc's in there - 3" stainless exhaust 2 mufflers - …

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…

Hey folks, I thought it was about time I put up my new aquisition. I started out with a 1975 KE30 that I intended to take out for the odd khanacross and maybe even rally one day, but it needed a lot of work and I couldn't quite bring myself to being comfortable with bending it. I figured it was probably going to be a little harder to find decent panels when I needed them, so I sold that and picked up something newer. And here she is, a 1984 KE70. It had already been built and taken to khana's a few years ago, but the previous owner has moved into drifting (in his 300kw ATW Soarer!). I'll stick with something cheaper to start. It has a stripped interior, auto …

Hey guys, I picked this up back in 2011 from a guy that could never get it running right which turned out to be a boost cut defender on the map sensor line (ha it's map sensor only), after sitting in a mates yard for a while I decided to register it but had it hoon impounded 2 days later (damn you 1j skids). It's a grande Cressida that has had a Jzx front cut put in it including the digital dash, factory intercooler etc, it makes for an awesome daily driver and a good sleeper. Not sure on plans at this stage.

hey guys I'm new to these forums and I just bought my new project ke38 corolla. Plan is to fit my 2jz, powerglide and 42gtx into it. Was a zoom feature car in 2011 with a rotary in it. the engine bay shot is the current combo in my Cressida that is going into the ke38 :)

Hello, I've been lurking here for some time now and I thought to share my project with you. It's a 1974 Ke20 which I bought about five years ago in a very bad shape. Thinking afterwards I would've saved very much time by getting a better body to start with. So for the next five months I spent all my time in the garage welding that rusty little car. Got a little hurry when summer came and I had to get it back on road so I painted it matt black with spray and drove happily for the summer. At this time it had a 4K motor with some Webers. Didn't go very fast. I'm missing pics from this time, I'll add them here if I find them. Got tired to the lack of po…

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,…

Only 3 weeks until i get my licence and I'm hopeing my lil rolla will be ready fingers crossed :POSTPICS!:

Hi all. Just joined and although not a corolla We hope you do not mind us posting our new project. 1977 LT 2000 RA28 Celica. Body and interior need a lot of work but it is a very solid car and undetneath is in excellent condition. Running the original 18RC and auto at the moment she drives really great. Looking forward to starting the resto early next Year.will be putting 18RG and 5 speed manual in (pic of the new motor )

Another video of my ke70

Though I might post up few pictures since I haven't been on this forum in over 10yrs now.. Enjoy this is my sprinter I purchased from Canberra last dec I've had it rego an drive it every day I'm not working away. I took it off the road for 3 days to completely remove the rear half of the floor pan and wheel tubs to allow for the new 18x10" fr18 Simmons wheels and drag rims

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, …

Hey I'm new to this forum and corolla's in general. Just got myself a 1984 ke70 and am in the process (still early) of a new paint job and sr20det conversion. Car is off the road as I bought it with a broken axle, wasn't much good to me anyway with an auto in it. My daily is a 2006 Toyota Hiace, its lowered colour coded bumpers, tint, stereo, carpeted all the rear of it and yeah just all the basics. how I picked it up

Here you go

Hi, I just joined this forum and this is my first post. I'm 20 and from the very top of Norway, my daily is a 2004 Audi A6 1.8T Quattro. Recently I bought a 79' Ke30 online, and I'm going to pick it up next week! The car is already insured and registered in my name. Unfortunately the car seems to have lived a rough life on the salty roads of Norway and therefore there's some rust on it. The previous owner have rustwelded parts of the channels. What's left (that I know of) is a wheel well and a hole in the trunk. The car have have rolled around 330000km (205000 miles) I'm so excited to pick it up! I'll keep you guys updated.

So after selling my Stagea i needed a new daily driver.. I bought a 1978 Mazda 323 Bugeye needing minimal work. Did a few mods, Blew it up and then needed another daily while i fix it.. So i bought this! 1.6 Manual converted. 151000ks. Full nugget spec with total neglect, Weldy choppies etc shitbox I had it for about 2 days before hating it so broke out the spanners. Doing plugs discovered 3 different kinds of plug and burnt out points. Wound timing back to an acceptable level while i was there. Removed the weldy in favor of a 4.11 open diff and added some fresh shoes and wheel cylinders. While i was there i added an AJPS adjustable panhard bar i got…

Hey everyone, I'm new to the Rollaclub forum. Short story about how I got myself into this. Few months back, was looking at owning my first car. Thought of the Corolla and really liked the aesthetics of the AE82 - AE94. Thought maybe I could find something to work on. So after 2 months of "research" (not comprehensive enough I would think), got myself an AE94 CSi Ltd (for about a week now). She's done about 290k and still runs pretty good. Got her for a decent price with my savings. Before getting her I already knew some restoration was needed and I was prepared to do it. Thought it would be a good learning experience for me to get down and dirty with the car. But lookin…

Hi, I just recently bought my first Toyota, so I am still learning about them but so far I am in love with this car. It's got a few minor dents and dings here and there and needs major interior work, but other than that it is totally rust free, engine runs like a watch (the transmission is a different story), and the body is totally straight. Tell me what you think, and any info on where to find parts ect. would be much appreciated. Thanks! Goose

Well, some of you may know this ol girl well, couldnt help myself when i seen it such a tidy car!, Will be getting full factory respray soon and left just like it is, maybe some venetians and sunvisor etc but staying full GRANNYSPEC! such a fun car to drive getting lots of interesting looks on the monash fwy on my , way to work. Thoughts on dropping my 2tg twin sideys and five speed into it for a bit more poke standard 12r is not real happy at 65 mph with the four speed, has anyone put a t series in one, can't imagine it would be too involved? cheers feral.

Originally posted 8 Dec 2013 on Calaisturbo.com.au - Hi guys, I've crossed over and i'm batting for an overseas manufacturer. I've just purchased a 1973 Corona Sedan yesterday (7.12.13) for those interested in the story read on, for those interested in the car skip to the photos! The inspiration struck one Friday night (22.11.13) when dad and i were sitting around and he asked me if i'd seen the shannons auction listing. essentially there was a datsun 1200 wagon for sale. i started thinking and went and looked and even made a bid on the 2nd of dec. i didn't win and was a bit dissapointed / all riled up to own a japanese classic. Through the week i wa…

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…

Hi All, Just thought i would inroduce myself and my project for the year. Just updating my KE20 to a better body and make it in line with the rules for Classic Adelaide & Improved Production Racing. My Dad and I have done the classic 5 times in a 1969 KE15 sprinter and it was time to change up to the 2ltr 3TG option. The car is getting a blasting internally at present and then the paintwork can start. It has already been issued with a CAMS log book so i can compete in the IPRASA rounds as well. Will keep some updates coming when things look more complete. DMC

well here is my 75 ke30 as i got her almost a year ago now, it was a 2 speed auto stock as a rock and slow as hell, but i have since changed it to a 5 speed from a ke70 and chucked on a weber dcoe 40 side-draft now it can keep up with traffic just! The plan is bolt some flares on dump it and charge it, most of witch i have done more pics 2 follow

Welcome! You may have had a look at my other thread at http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/72174-best-engine-swap-for-ke30/, where I was after information on engine swaps. I will be fixing and modding my 4k. I have a forum post on mighty car mods forum which I will edit a link in tonight. Now, my plans for the Rolla are: - Fix the miss in cylinder 1 - Buy extractors and finish building the custom exhaust - Fix the boot (its not bolted on, no inserts in the boot) - New steelies and tyres - New gaskets and piston rings - Paint it (red, orange, blue or white) - Weber carburettor Things I have done since I bought it: - New tachometer - Fixed t…

I am looking for the man I brought this car off to ask some questions about the work done on the engine. I brought this car in 2010 from a man in Pimpama, QLD. The car had no plates and looked like it does in this picture. I am trying to find more information on what work they had done to the engine. Any help would be great. Cheers, Jamie

Its probably not the done thing any more, but I still like to keep a build thread on my rides so I remember what I did to them along the journey! So introducing my latest acquistion, a very clean 1978 MX32 Cressida. I wanted to get something I could put the kids in the back of, that had power steering and aircon, and was generally going to be a comfortable family cruiser. This popped up on ebay for quite a bit of cash, and was all the way over in Albany WA. But it looked immaculate and I fell in love. Spoke with the owners and they had bought it from a car yard, who had bought it from the original owner, an old bloke who had handed in his licence. They were g…

picked u a little ae82 sedan this week for 700 no rego. great paint body interior super cold air no rego 700 bucks. I had some 15 interceptor style rims which I put on for now. Only downside is its auto. 4AGE arrives Sunday which to be different I want to run on bike carbs

Hey Rollaclub! Here's another project I have bitten off. While looking for a coupe I came across this buff coloured sedan on eBay. Of course the nature of eBay is that sometimes you bid and end up owning things you didn't intend to. I really wanted a coupe! This is a relatively low mileage sadan (167,000km) that IMO just needed some loving. The previous owner fitted a new clutch and rear main seal, then got bored of it before he put it back together. As such, some assembly was required before I even knew it would run. But run it does, very nicely thankyou. Here's when I got it; I started tinkering. It really just needs a 30 year service! So I pu…

Hey Rolla heads So I just bought this 74 wagon and pulled it out of a field in the middle of no where. The body is very straight with very little rust (I was shocked) The interior is an absolute mess and looks like a bomb has hit it. Whoever bolted the brake booster to the firewall bolted it straight through the wiring loom and fried everything. The whole car needs to be rewired. The engine has bigger Pistons, valves, springs, lumpy cam, crank, ect ect I found all the receipts from the build in the car. Engine doesn't run thought :( I think it was a bit of a backyard build. I'm not sure at this stage of I will build the car for myself as a daily or…

Hey all, thought I'd share a few pictures and details of my ke35. I bought the car last year in 2015. I traveled about 3 hours south of Sydney to pick it up! It has a 4sp manual powered by a 3k. I've been toying with the idea of building this car and swapping the engine but I'm still undecided. Torn between the idea of power and keeping things original. This is the not long after I bought it. It was sitting on 15x6.5 inch Lenso wheels at stock height. The car had no center console so I rigged up a ke70 handbrake surround and installed the gear stick surround also. I installed a head unit in the centre console and carpeted the rear parcel tray. I put …

Hey guys Been lurking this forum as a visitor for a while now collecting various info and answers, and figured id make an account and share my KE70 build and some of the progress ive made so far. Along the way i will be sharing some of the methods i use while also hopefully learning much in return! I'm 24 now and Ive had a lot of cars from V8s and 6s to 4x4s but never a corolla/drifter. This is my first propper race intended build/project and what i hope to be an awesome learning experience, but is equally likely to be a nightmare for my bank account and what my mate describes as a world of hurt... Regardless, let the fun begin!! I bought the car around christmas tim…

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…
