Rollaclub Rides

Hey guys, my name's Alec, i've been around here for a while wheeling and dealing but i thought i'd make a thread for my beloved KE70 "Kaye" Long story short: It was early 2008 and i was residing in North Queensland as a uni student and had no car to get around in. I spotted on the side of the road one day a baby blue KE70, I'd always been a huge AE86 fan and the keto caught my eye. So I called up the number and the guy came out to show me the car. The asking price was $2600. It was a 4 speed CS KE70 with some fairly decent rust but it ran. I ended up haggling the guy down to $1000, cash in hand and drove her home. Unfortunately i didn't take too many pictures in…

Hi Guys And Gals I'm Andy (NewAgeDinosaur) Just thought i would post some pics of my Ke30 CA project and the Ke55 mock up car. The red Ke30 is solid as a rock i could only find one bit of rust in it the size of a 5 cent piece. Has a 4k and 5 speed in it and really it just needs a good clean up new front carpet and 2 new tyres then rego it. Someone gave it to me for helping him get his ke55 to start. Once i have mocked up all the CA setup in the old rusty ke55 will transfer it to the Ke30. Am going Ca18DE to start with while rebuilding the CA18DET. Oh and my 2 dogs love cars and cameras. Work so far mount engine and modded the pedal box and pedal to make the hydra…

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 this is my 55 so far, its definatly costing me but will deffinatly be worth it in the end. well this is it so far hope yous like it :)

hi guys , i was at work today out in the middle of no-where the other day and caught a glimpse of what i thought to be a old junka , so i went and seen the owner a old guy (about 90 in the shade)who said it was a ms55 crown he bought new and has now stopped drive due to illness. once i cleared the 5 foot grass from around in and wiped the mold of the window ...about 1/4'' thick lol got the doors open and it is overrated original as the day it was built plastic protective covers everywhere even on the seats no crack dash no rips or tears , i thought it was to good to be true i asked if he still had the keys ..he did also original toyota keys like the factory jack,tool ba…

Hey Rolla fans. recently decided to get a ke70 wagon. love the way they look but wasnt too keen on the small 4k engine. was thinking about putting a 4age motor with a k50 gearbox etc in. i've seen a lot on this site going around and just wondering is it a legal conversion? or one that is really hard for police to pick up on? I'm from S.A. Would really like if someone could give me some help. cheers, claudio :dance:

show your retro :) enjoy,cheers.

Greetings, I've been meaning to try & compile a thread about my other-half... I mean my car build (takes all my time & money, may as well be :P ) for a while now so here goes. It all started out back in 2006 when I became the (not-so) proud owner of an AE80 Hatch which was affectionately named Blue Thing after I discovered the 2-AC engine & 4 speed manual box not really good for much other than getting from A-B rather slowly unless pushed hard. I did however gain much driving practice after being a pizza delivery guy for a few years & found I had a liking for the handling characteristics of these little hatches, just needed a bit more poke. …

Check out my new daily..... I'm the first to admit that I have never been a fan of FWD Corollas. I am however a fan of Corolas. I sold my yellow KE70 tonight so this thing will be on daily duties for the moment. The stats: AE93 SX Hatch 1991 Model 4AGE Smallport :) 5 Speed Cold Air Con 220,000 ks (to me it drives more like its done 130xxx ks. definitely been looked after) Alarm & Central Locking CD/MP3 Player Excellent service history with plenty of receipts etc Here is the pic from the ad, more pics after the weekend when I get back from my 30th bash. I'm going to blame the temporary insanity of buying this thing on my impending 30th Birth…

So it's happened. I finally have a ke10. It's rusty, spider infested and crap. but it's mine :blush: After a once over i've discovered it has a 4k in it and ke20 front disks. There's a fair bit of rust and dents and it looks like i'll need new front guards and bonnet and possibly some pateches to weld in. I've got my plans and i'll start working as soon as this rain stops :glare: Here it is: new pic added cheers

Here i have my 1983 ke70 project. it has a stock 5k 5 speed manual, only 40xxx km on the engine well looked after and 173xxx km on chassis. going to slowly repaint it white but I'm not gonna take it off the road whilst partially restoring the outside. it had minor rust which was cut out and plated. i have ae86 front struts and brakes coming for it soon hopefully. here are some photos. tell me what you guys think and if u have any advice feel free to let me know. =]

Hi to all...long time since have done much on here.. Many would have seen i had my ke38 van for sale for a while,well time has come that eldest daughter has turned 16 yrs of age and will in the next 12 months or so,need a car. So what better than to rejuvenate the old nanna mobile for her to use..Yes it requires,rust and body work.and is going a colour change with finally a bit of a custom paint job..was meant to do this like 4 years ago..oh well better late than never..Also requires a little bit of mechanical work i e rear brakes etc.. New colour is to be the old school ford wild violet purple..but i tell ya the cost of group 3 paint these days..ouch,1 lit…

show your retro.com The purpose of this link is to share to you guy, and i have to gain your support. thank you rollaclub and members of rollaclub. cheers mate.

Picked this one up last night, had been floating on Ebay for a while and no one else went to check it out. Original 98,000kms, now sporting a 5 speed, all new shocks & springs, new 16" alloys & tyres, new front end steering components and immaculate only needing a vacuum and exhaust flange gasket replace. Only thing i'll be doing is replace the wheels with some old skool 15" items or factory 14" with hubcaps & whitewalls.

Hey guys just thought id put a pic of my new ride :lolcry: This is my Drift Rolla, hope to do heaps of mods to her and change colour scheme :happy: Hope u guys like her :wink: see ya jimi

(4WD is way too hard!) for now Picked up a complete soarer from sydney a few weeks ago, Chose from the collection of rolla "the chosen one". Body only needs a little bit of work!!!

Well I have myself a project. I bought this car with alot of half assed jobs done to it so now I'm going through and fixing everything and making it into what will be a great car 4wd. Orgininally I believe it was a LWB soft top, now chopped to a ute. This is pretty much how I bought it. The poor effort of 3/4 elliptical setup, this is being cut off and back to standard leafs. Very poor welding and the springs drooped till they were sitting on the old mounts anyway. May try and do this setup again at a later stage with a bit more engineering in it. First job I did was pull all the dash and electrics out, these have been cleaned up wires add/tak…

Hey Guys , I'm building a ke70 track car for drifting and was wondering if anyone knows what roll cage specs you need for competition ??? Cheers 75rolla

Hey all, I just recently re purchased my old ke10. i owned it a fair few years ago, i bought it as a green running/registered car. Then Painted it matt black. Then got bored of it a bought a turbo corona and let it sit around for a year or so. Fit a 4age in its engine bay but never got it running. then i sold it... LINK :How i sold it.. Now i bought it back, its a little more stripped to how i sold it.. and has a few less parts to when i sold it... I believe its been through about 3 other owners since me, but never registered under another persons name. This is how i got it back! But all in good time :)

So this is my new toy, It was build by my father about 25+ years ago, I recently acquired from a family friend, (it was build for him) It was repainted in my dad's racing colours when he died and was present at Rally Australia about 13 years ago. it's a complete Animal to drive. The 2t is no longer a 1600 it has the internals of the 3t with a very aggressive cam. the diff is locked and the rear end is heavily reinforced and all the goodie in between. All the removable panels except the doors are all fiberglass, and I have the molds to go with!!!! anyway here are some of the photos I have taken hopefully i will get some of it playing in the dirt soon. C…

My project ke35 corolla coupe Hey guys I've finally found a project after looking for long time. I was trying to find a ra28 Celica or a datsun 240k coupe. But on my quest to find one of these I came across ke35 corolla coupe it's in pretty good shape not much rust from what can see will begin a better search in the weeks to come. It's running manual with a 3k engine. Now this is my first Toyota apart from my daily hilux so this a new thing for me I plan to restore it jap style definatly fender mirrors love them but engine I don't want to go to big and I was thinking maybe 4agze any advice or comments are always welcome. I probably won't start for a while as I want to …

Okay, so today, a little gift appeared outside my house.... A 1992 COROLLA :wink: ...Okay... Not the most amazing thing every, but for a first car, I shouldn't be overly picky.

Well thanks to Nick I'm at the proud owner of a KE26 Panel van! Alot of you guys will know this car and know how good it actually is. The car is truly in exceptional condition. Looks to be original 100,000km. Body is fantastic with only a couple dents and no rust apart from very minor surface rust. Interior is amazing with an uncracked dash and dark blue NZ spec interior. Mechanics are good just need a few adjustments here and there. Since I brought the car from Nick i have: - Lowered the front with brand new 5kg 70-80mm lower springs (thanks Ryan) - New body molds down sidelines - Chrome wheel arch molding - Rubbed away alot of surface on the stone…

Just picked up an ADM AE86 with a 4AGTE motor in it. Thought I would throw them up together Regards Keith

So as it is known the pano has moved onto Troy, because i felt it was time i got myself a little luxury and a little more gang appeal. i have wanted a mx32 for ages so when this popped up I couldnt say no. apologies on the largish pic

heya guys. honestly not a lot to see in here fro a couple of weeks.. moreso thought id chuck up a introduction since theres no where else to do it on here... names daniel, mechanic by trade, and have been sliding cars here in Adelaide for a lil while now... my old 1via was pretty well known, i don't do it competitively, moreso just for fun car inevitably meet mallalas infamous tyre stacks at the top of third gear on a manji gone pear shape... this lead to me reshelling it all into this... long story short it was a piece of shit. swapped it for some toyota love... a 1j gz20 soarer. which i hated to slide. so i sold it and gave up on …

Okay so i'm new to all this I just got given a Ke55 by my girlfriend It was her first car when she was 16 now she is 22 she wanted something more practical so i scored it Its not in the best condition but it starts first time every time and runs fine I wanna make it so i don't get defected(I'm a P plater) So i am gonna replace the damaged panels first and maybe do an engine swap later on can anyone help out with panels and such?

Hey guys finally i have found myself a ke20 and been able to go through with the sale. I bought it Friday off Ra28gt and have been loving life since. I haven't taken any pictures as yet but hes made a thread about it... Looks the same so far... I do like the granny look so i think that i will go with that so far.. Plans are to put a sun visor on it and maybe widen the stock 12". It does need new carpet and roof lining that will be done in the next few weeks. Other than that its up in the air. The car comes with a spare 3k engine and i am undecided whether or not build that up with cam, webbers etc.. or go for a 4/5k? would it be worth spending money on a 3k?…

hey guys just wondering what use think of my new baby :) I'm also wanting to find some sort of retro bucket seats for her any suggestions?

After buying a nissan and turning to hate it. Decided to buy some 4age love and this popped up with a decent pricetag. originally wasnt going to do a build thread but I'm extremely bored at work.

Hey Guys, New here and just purchased my first KE20 1973, like the title says 25,000 original miles, owned by an elderly lady from new, she drove it up until ten years ago when she lost her license, the car was then stored in a garage up until two months ago when she passed and left the car to her son who sold it to me. It has the original dealer sticker, original number plates, original spare tyre, tool roll etc... and it drives so well too Let me know what you think?

(As with most of my ride forum posts you might want to grab a coffee/tea and settle in for a long one...) The Story As many of you know, I previously owned an 86 which had a 20 valve silvertop installed (http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/34331-sloths-ae86-project-car), unfortunately though, it was damaged beyond repair in an accident. Since the AE86 was my daily I needed something to get me around. I looked around for a while, as my previous daily was the 86 I wanted something else that was fun, something that I enjoyed driving (that wouldn't make me feel depressed as I drove to work every day). In the end I managed to find a purple 1996 Honda Integra G…
