Rollaclub Rides

kethurty! ok so i bought this ke 30 87' auto and have since tried to sell it . but due to the state it was in it wasnt a very easy car to get rid of for the money i was thinking. the 5k i put in was old and busted so it wasnt a very good sales pitch. but the plans have change and in the last three weakends i have got a little stuck in.... things i replaced or done: ex automatic 4k , 125000 kms sump gasket thermostat, new radiator hosses, hose clamps, gasket, radiator cap, heater hose. waterpump gasket, waterpump rockercover gasket,rocker cover washers and rubbers, fuel pump gasket new oilfilter and gasket, airfilter new gear box oil new oil, new battery, ne…

Got ourselves another 'Rolla today, but this one is for Josh's younger brother, Joel. We scored it off a guy who had it sitting on his farm in Craigieburn. It's a December-1974 Aussie-built KE30 2-Door Sedan in Blue. It has a 3K and 4-speed (won't start because of wiring issues), and we found out it originally had a 3K-H in it according to the firewall tag, but was swapped out for a standard 3K in it now. It is an "L" edition (as badged - not too sure what it means). It has black leather seats and cards, black carpet, black dash, and other cool bits and two spare head gaskets. The dash-top is cracked, and it's a one-piece dash unfortunately, so we'll get that fixe…

To celebrate finishing uni and stepping into the real world (read: getting a full-time job), I decided to treat myself to a present. Bought it in January this year and have loved every KM driven in it! It's a 1974 KE25 Corolla Coupe Deluxe in "bamboo" aka mustard yellow. Essentially original except for the wheels and a few other minor bits and pieces. - 3K motor with 2 speed 'Toyoglide' automatic When I bought it it had the following: - Reconditioned head - New pistons, rings, bearings, valve grind and gasket kit - Reconditioned radiator - Pedders shocks front and rear with stock height king springs up front - Fatter 22mm swaybar - Full exhaust with extract…

Hi all, My name is Tenny, I have a 74 ke25 delux coupe and have been a member since mid december. Thought it was finally time to start my own ride thread, after reading everyones thread and was inspired to share my project with everyone and maybe get some tips and hints along the way. So anyway its a bit of a story on how I got the car. My father in law found this car in Sydney, over the net and had it trucked to Brissy, he then got some work done on it to get it roadworthy then gave it to my sister in law for her first car. My sister in law then moved to Perth and didnt want to pay the freight so sold it to her Mums partner who gave it to his daughter for her fir…

Hey guy's, I'm josh and this is my Ksev. I got it for free from my wifes-sisters-boyfriends-mother, chucked 12 months rego on it, service, vacume, on the bumps, Gun metal gray steelies and 5 new tyres. It's my DD that hasn't let me down in 12months of owning it. 4k-auto is lacking some power, but i think i have a 4K with a maunal coming to fix that :D I always had intentions to 1uz it, but so does everyone else, so here are the realistic plans :happy: *Replace all wheel bearing *All bushed front and back *Cam grind *Turbo *Jetted 4k carby *Rub back and repaint white *Decent rims *Rolled guards *jap spec drift pig I'm not after the yyyaaaaahhhhh-ptsssss…

hey all thought id share my dunga, its my daily driver that ive had about a week, I got it as it has 5 months rego, BC coilovers, s13 lca's etc in the front, & enkei AP's all round, also 5spd, weldy, non standard exhaust, an a dirty dirty 4k that just wont die... Has had a hard life, been through about 6 different owners in the last 2ish years, all of those love skids... been wall tagged, rock tagged, bank tagged, an understeered into banks an gutters ie gravel & wet weather ;) in that time it got a bent chassis rail, which has put out the whole front end, also bent passenger guard etc so the door opens enough making a gap for maybe a kid to get into... t…

Enough said .

hey peeps, thought it was time to start getting my corollas a bit of a name for being awesome haha, first up is my red ke70, 1982 csxxx, so far has 163,000km, 4k, 5 speed, tape deck, tacho dash, remote boot popper etc.... this thing is my newest addition, and is, i daresay the neatest ke70 in tasmania, barely a mark outside, not even a blemish or sunspot inside, =), aquired for $2000 with 11 months rego, good picking haha, will soon be getting a set of BC BR series coilivers, ans have a set of 16x8 -0 offset xxr 002's with 195/45/16 or 195/40/16 (depending on what i can get away with) wheels, same colour as my 15x8s =) keeping this one neat as =) next up is …

Hey everyone i'm Andrew from wollongong NSW this is my build thread on my 1984 ke70 corolla project i currently have underway. as you can see needs a bit of work but that's exactly the reason why i bought it, to be a project !! i had a 84 ke70 csx as my first car and loved it, but had to sell it to pay for the rego on my daily 99 mazda 323 astina. (i know should of sold the mazda but it's a little bit more reliable then the rolla.) From the day i sold it, i wanted it/or another rolla. so 2 years later i have bought another one, and doing what i always wanted to do to my first one, it's a slow progessing project as i'm doing most of the work myself …

Hello everyone! Now I realise this is 'Rollaclub' but there isn't a big fan base for Coronas- and Corollas are the next best thing! :P I'm a long time reader and after reading many build threads I've decided it's time to make my own. My name is Stephen and I'm currently in my second year at university. This build began way back in when I was in Year 11 at high school- the moment I turned 17 and got my P's. Firstly I'd like to thank my cousin Adrian for he completed all of the work on my car while I merely held the torch eagerly, trying to learn as much as I could. You may ask "Why a Corona?"... So here's the story of how it came about. My family ha…

Hello everyone, Well ive been on here for a while reading other peoples builds and otherstuff, and last year in october after looking for a ke70 for awhile I found a alright one and so went round and had a look, the shell looks and was told its pretty rust free, So at 15 i decided to buy it for $1400 i paid $1000 to much but i was impatient and already looked at about 8 others and this was the best i spose, Cause i didnt have my L's or anything Me and my parents went to pick it up, battery was pretty screwed but still was able to jump start it and on the way home the car stalled it on top of a hill luckily, so ofcourse dad stayed in the car and i got out and had to pu…

Well, this little T18... I bought her from this guy and his daughter who had gotten a bit of a run around from their rebuilder/painter, who did the most orange-peely job I have ever seen... Twice apparently! She was sitting on King Springs and matched short stroke shocks, and running a rebuilt, albiet stock 3T-C. Very tidy car, other than the terrible paint. She became affectionately known as Allie. Used as a daily driver for quite a while, with nothing more than couple of rims changes... Then, things went a little crazy... I sourced a 3TGTE from KYP, backed by a W55, some custom coilovers and RA65 brakes for the front, and lower than low kings for the …

Hi all, Thought you might be interested in my "new" TE37 Levin. I found it on the yahoo.jp auction site, and with the help of import monster (http://www.importmonster.com.au) purchased it. It arrived in my garage in Melbourne, Australia on May 4 2012. The good: It's super straight - very little rust, original shell, dash all there (re-covered binnacle) everything is clean and tight. The "bad": not really bad... just different... The head has been changed (to an EFI "big valve") but still with original carbies, suspension has been lowered, missing the air con compressor and evaporator, no carpet. The ugly: well not really ugly... just parts that are hard to get! Miss…

hey there , i wasnt going to put nanas ke on here until i had some real progress but couldnt help myself . i picked her up about a month ago after i done a door knock mission and stole it for 6 hundy off a girl whos nana owned it from new and she drove it down from adelaide when her nana passed (r.i.p nana ill look after your ke) , it didnt run as she said needed new dizzy so i wound down the window and pushed it 2 blocks to gt her home ,straight away reminded me of the old days hahahahha and it was light as shit too . got her goin after some head scratching and swearing and ended up just been that dizzy had moved and timing was up da shit and sheer luck i got it going a…

After starting my own build for a drift car after it was defected it took me several months to get minimal work done to it, due to education commitments etc first thing i did was research some other builds of what needs to be done, pricing etc usual build stuff. It started life as a normal stock 4 speed manual ke70 with cut springs after the defect happened i stripped it and continue to drift it with no interia because well, it wasnt going through regency anyways and that loss of weight added atleast 40kw decided the stock seat then had to go so i purchased a Sparco milk crate and made it suit standard rails With then realising that its not smart t…

So i finally got me a corolla after months of looking, picked this up a few weeks ago now. Needed a daily as my other car - xr6t ute is not ideal for driving everyday anymore as it drinks the fuel and ill be taking it of pump fuel very shortly in hope of a 10sec pass :). i'll attach a pic but enough of that back onto the rolla lol. i wanted something small and rwd did a bit of research and found old corolla's were the easiest to find for a cheaper $ and more realiable. loved the shape of ke70's so went hunting, looked at a lot of shitters but found a nice yellow one after abit over a month of looking but the ute needed new valve springs so it took priority and by the time…

Introducing my latest Corolla...... a shiny KE26 Wagon This is actually my 10th Corolla, and I think it will be my best yet. It has been resprayed in and out in the Ford Territory Mocha colour. I have ALOT of work ahead of me to re-install everything and complete the car ready for the road. I estimate it will take me ~3 years to complete. I wanted something that I can take the wife and kids out in on sunny Sundays and I reckon once complete this will be just the thing. Plans: Engine - undecided, options like 13B, 20V 4AGE and even BEAMS are being considered. As the wagons weigh 900kg, anything up to a 3.6L NA is applicable ;) Driveline - Hilux Diff, also c…

Hey, just got myself a ke70, its in pretty decent condition for the age, there is no rust under the doors as shown in photos but there is some in the rear tail gate. My plans for this car is putting a 4age or a rotary and using as a track car or drift car So i have some reading to do as I'm a noob :D

hey got this to transfer all of my parts off my white one into, just a stock 5spd 4kc with a reconed motor about 80***ks ago, owned by an old guy before i got it, well looked after, original radio still works! has a bit of rust in the back end, ie tyre well etc, so going to cut it out of the white one an weld into this one :).. so far it has 35mm extended lca's, short stroke shocks, smaller springs ;), & the enkei ap's. still to go in is the welded diff & exhaust, just waiting for this shitty weather to clear up then itll be in.. heres some pics.. latest pics have stodgies, as i got a flat on the rear on one of my buckled rims :( g…

Hi, I'm Jay from Sri Lanka and I'm the proud owner of a JDM Toyota Corolla DX Wagon (KE72V-1986). My father imported this with 40,000KMs in 1989 and it's been with us ever since. It now has 141,000KMs as it was used sparingly. It has now been entrusted to me as my father wanted to sell it to make space for a new Toyota (a crappy FWD 'Belta'). This KE72V is powered by the usual Toyota 4K, but mine says it's a 4K-J which I think is a JDM version. It's mated to a K40 4 speed manual as well. It's currently bone-stock but I find it's very efficient and might not do any performance mods. It even has the standard wheels with the wheel caps as well! Future plans for this includ…

hey lads heres my project, bought for a measly amount off a mate who had it garaged for 5years, i had sold my last perfect 35 and wanted another that i could molest a little instead of keeping it bog standard. The car was bought with a dinted drivers door, boot and car full of useless shit, zero rust and no motor or box, plus a whinging diff. I played around with it for a while, picked up a ke36 pano with a 3tgte, t50 and ford 9" and slotted the motor and box in, hated the whole setup and how it was done, and what was needed to be done, when a 5k would have been much more easier for rego and time and cost. picked up a cheap ke70 with a good compression5…

more details to come guys ;)........................... ok thats long enough. for the life of me i can't remember the year model (71 i think?). ok so story is, this is my brother in laws ke20, that hasnt seen the road in over 6 years. he was driving home from work one day, and the engine started making horrible banging noises :hmm: not being very mechanical minded, he creeped it back to his place and parked it under a tree in the back yard, which is where it sat for a few years. few years after he moved house, and when they had a bit of a get together i thought we could drag it to his new place and have a look at the motor(after i had been working with a few mechanic…

Ok guys, It is finally time for me to join you all as I am now the owner of what I would guess is a TE30 (its a TE31) Corolla 1976. I have been a long time lurker but since I bought the car, ill make an account to share this beauty with you all. After looking on ads for a few months looking for the right deal, I found this car for sale for a very low price, and it was ONLY 3.5 HOURS AWAY! The car is a: "Deluxe edition" (whatever that means) 1.6 engine, Automatic 4 (lol I wish, only 3) spd trans, rear defrost (oh yes), and the car has 37k original miles. PO's just purchased the car 3 months ago from the original owner (old lady that lost her licence). The car is VERY w…

Thought I's post some belated build photo's of my AE92 Khanacross car, There's not a lot of information out there for them, so could be a helpful resource to people contemplating this path in the future. I was fortunate to get this ex-roadcar from a guy at work, who had spent a bunch of money on it with the wrong people, and become disenchanted with it. Originally he wanted quite a bit of money for it, but I managed to eventually prise it from him for not a lot at all. It still had it's issues, faded paint, dents poorly repaired, rust, horrible wiring with a typical boyracer stereo and lowered suspension.W When it first arrived. Start stripping everything…

This is my AE71 this is the car the day i got it, already 4AGED i got 8 defects in my first 48 hours of driving it and decided to change some shit. one of the main defects was rust. so i ground it back and this is the shit i found. by the time i cut it out this is all the roof i had left in some places... dad and i cut and fabricated some metal and i had a go at my first real bit of welding with a mig welder. getting the settings right for such thin metal was a pain, but once it was dialed right it was basically point and shoot :) once the rust and stuff had been cut out it was time to be get the spray putty on and primer. t…

After the sudden death of my T18 last year, I was left with a void in my life and a brown spot in my lawn that could only be filled by another corolla. I wanted a car to compete in khanacross events that could make use of our stockpile of surplus ae86 and te72 parts. Then this showed up. Perfect! It started life as an "S" spec auto ke70 and was converted to 5 speed manual at some stage. It had lain dormant for a while after its duties as a daily driver ended. It was rudely reawakened late last year when a temporary rego permit was slapped on the windscreen and Mr Yoda drove it on one last epic road trip from Brisbane to Cairns. It was revolting, bu…

Hay guys, have a a rolla for quite a while now.. just havnt started a thread. i thought it was time. so here it is.
