Rollaclub Rides

So currently residing in my home country of South Africa for a while. Of course my current demographic area will change the options of classic cars compared to Aus. But Corollas , this place has plenty ! The great thing about finding/hunting for classic cars in this country is that we have large cities inland very far from the sea's salty breeze and humidity. That is where this story beginnings in a city called Pietermaritzburg. I posted an ad on our local Gumtree looking for Corollas,Datsuns,Cressidas and boy was i offered some nice stuff, 1200Gx, Mx32's, and many many Ke70/71s but one stood out, A Red Ke70 , 1 owner from new , and paper work and I mean ALL …

Hi RollaClub, I'm Andy and i recently bought my first car! Its a 1983 KE70. Its stock as a rock with a 4k and 4 speed. I bought this car intending to put it on club plates and when i turn 18 it will be my daily. Pros about this car specifically - Ke70's are my favourite of all Corollas I'm familiar with the 4K Its BEAUTIFUL Came on some nice meshies Its in good nick generally Came with some nice speakers/sub Cons- A small amount of rust in the boot seal (10c piece) and some bubbles on the roof Interior is a bit worn and teared, but easily fixed with covers. It's a flat front, i love slanty cars but this one is growing on me :P Bonnet is a differ…

thought i might as well start a build on the newest celica to the collection... spotted it on ebay , turns out it was 5 minutes from home so a short drive over to the guys place to suss the car out , turns out he has had it for the last 16 years and it was his first car . The car has a rebuilt 18rg in it running on 45mm webers and running very sweet ! photos of the car when we got it notice race seat , was used for some hill climb

I picked up a 1974 TE-27. I was searching for a first gen celica and missed out on a crazy good deal for a 76, but I am glad I did because I found this one. Some people call these mangos. The guy was super cool about selling me the car. He wouldn't sell the car to anyone. He told me how he denied the sale to other people that were not Toyota or JC enthusiast. Its an auto. 2tc. 4:10 diff. I will have to do some rust repair in the front due to the battery leaking, and a some minimal rust spots around the car. It runs, but needs fuel system cleaned. Needs brake work etc. etc. Its a project. Pics! enjoy:

Bought this a while ago Its running 20v on itb at the minute I'm converting to a 1jz ( i purchased mount kit off site member )

Hi I'm Ricky and I'm 14 and this is my Ke36. there is abit of rust and dents, thinking about respraying it white

Hi guys. I found your forum from Google and joined immediately!! So, i bought this -69 KE15 from my friend, that had the car about 11 years in the garage. I sold it to him in year 2000, and he didn't had the time to build it. So i got my youth back and the car was in the same shape that when i sold it. Engine is a 3K bigport, maybe someone has changed the cam, at least it feels like it, lol. The body is original, i think. I can't find any weldseams!! You can imagine how warm this ride is in the winter... This morning it was - 18 C, and cranked her up.. . Here's couple pics of the Rolla. Stay tuned.. - Tero

Some of you may remember me from my turbo AE86: http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/68849-ae86-4agteall-the-gear-no-idea/page__p__678061#entry678061 I've continued the Sprinter theme and aquired a genuine KE17 SL. I have been on the search for along time for one of these. When this one came up in WA, I had to jump on it. After the deal was done and the car sent over on the train, it landed at my place. I finally came home from work 2 weeks later and have been able to have a good look at it. I'm very happy. It needs work, but what 45 year old car doesn't???

picked this up a few weeks ago, just put fresh rego on it nd am currently in the process of prepping for an in your face paint job.. picking up rims for it this weekend too.

Since changes to my employment situation were forced upon me in December, I have been belting around in my mechanics AE91 Levin. Its been quite a pleasant place to be, but two doors didn't really suit having a 5 month old bub. So when this very clean AE95 wagon popped up on carsales for not much money, complete with rego until August, I thought it might be worth a look. Seeing some of the TCCAV lads's machines also helped the cause, their fondness for them is infectious!! Rocked on down to Frankston on Sunday, took it for a drive, did the deal and brought her home. I am very pleased with how clean it is. Allegedly owned by mechanics previous to the owner I bou…

Hi, Just wanted to show you my KE10, it's in Malta (EU) and is a 4-door version. I own the car for 3 years now and currently respraying it. When I bought the KE10 it was in reasonable condition but sprayed 3-4 times over the original paint, causing some strange effects over the years. I am the second owner of the car.

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 1981 KE70 panelvan, bought for nearly nothing off an elderly man. had no modifications apart from a crappy immobilizer that eventually shit itself in the middle of nowhere with only a screwdriver and a pair of pliers to bypass it... also it got defected about a week before the rego ran out, but its all been fixed awaiting a vehicle inspection. this is a photo of what it originally looked like just with black stockys have since done only visual mods (just until it passes inspection {if it passes inspection haha})

Got the first stage of the Gorilla done, 4 link rear end, shortened Hilux Diff with ford axles and disc brakes, coarse adjustable inverted watts link, adjustable sway bar, in a KE55. The plan with the car is to build a bit of an all rounder, as we don't get enough drag racing, or track racing here to specialise in one or the other. I'm building it so that I can adjust bars/springs change wheels and tyres and have a bit of fun any chance I get. A bit like a track car that I can get to hook up at the strip. Has been 2 years to get this far, but slow progress is still progress! I have a Commodore K-frame sitting on the floor in the shed, and I've heard that they can be put …

yet another find for me out in the sticks :) I saw this car advertised on a local facebook sales page earlier in the year for $500, and after not being able to find the page again assumed it had been sold. long story short the supposed buyer wasn't interested in doing any repairs after inspecting it (has a few patches of rust) so the owner pmd me and offered it to me for $150 because she was moving overseas and needed it gone, so I'm the new proud owner :) its a 1977 ke30 4 door auto, rust in usual places, interior is half shagged, smells of mice and old people, but it runs and drives......but doesn't stop as the brakes need work :/ so far I have stripped the interior, cl…

picked this up just the other day .. i dub her 'sway' .. needs a little bit of tlc but will make a sick little slider when i'm done with it ! :cool: it already has an adjustable panhard, trd shocks in the rear, ae86 struts, strut brace etc .. plans are to not have a single piece of the suspension setup left standard.. will keep pics updated as it comes along. let me know what you's think. heres an up to date list of whats done to the shit box, front suspension: Ae86 ajps coil over sleeve kit Ebach 8kg springs Koni shocks Willwood 4 pot callipers Willwood 288mm slotted & Cross drilled discs Willwood Full race pads -3 Steel braid teflon bra…

Hey guys, been a while since I've kicked around here. Have moved to slightly bigger chassis than the old KE's, although I still have my 7K KE25 sitting in the shed. Here's the new whip. 1992 GLX MX83 Cressida. Part GLX and part Grande interior, Grande 3.9 LSD, Camry GXP 17" wheels. Also, replacing the stinky old 7MGE head gasket muncher is this little package, Standard 1JZ from a Z30 Soarer, running standard twins, JZX81 ECU and JZX81 auto with a MV autos stage 1 shift kit. Went really well and pushed 160rwkw. So standard twins and 160rwkw was alright, did a decent skid and all... Then a little combo popped up on eBay, so I made it mine. Gar…

Hey guys i am new to the page and haven't got used to the tools and settings yet but here its goes i have just purchased myself a project car its a 1980 toyota corolla ke38 wagon i got it for only $975 delivered to my door i was bloody cheering its in good condition for its age its got a little bit of rust at the bottom of the Hatch but its not that bad its got the dirty old 4k motor which i definitely will be pulling out and replacing it with something better haven't decided what motor i want to put in it yet but the plans are get it nice and stiff and just learn to slide in it i am planning its going to take me around 2 years to Fully build the wagon as I am building …

So I have recently began prospecting Tijuana Mexico for some classic Japanese cars. I live in San Diego and now am looking into importing cars from Mexico mostly interested in Datsun, Toyota and some Honda. I began to network with some car heads down south and have come to meet a group that meets frequently. The cars are not the best but I hope to befriend many of these guys in hopes of buying their cars from them and bringing them to CA. Here are two cars in which I came across today August 8th, 2015. I am also looking into how to export these shells or rolling chassis to other countries perhaps Europe.

I ended up with another project car. It is a 1975 (pre-smog for CA) TE38 E5. I bought it cheap. I drive 300+ miles to see the car. The ad said "Runs Good". I got there and he said it hasn't been driven for 7 years and he had just got it started. He had owned the car for a long time. It served as a first car for all 3 of his kids. I checked it over, bought it, did some minor engine work, and drove it 324 miles home with no issues. The car drives well, but an engine rebuild is needed. It has low power due to compression. It's ugly as sin. The pictures make it look better than it actually is.

Hey guys, This is my 1993 Toyota Corolla SE Limited. It's a Japanese import and has all of the features you would expect out of Japan, except it's now a little different from a bog standard grocery getter :) It was completely standard when I bought it, but I've done a number of mods to it over the last 5-years of ownership so far, including a 4A-GE 20v Blacktop swap at the end of 2012. I've almost reached my goal of finding every single optional extra that was available from new, including some of the rarest items, such as the AirFantasy fragrance control system. This first post will remain updated with all of the current modifications and photos. To view upda…

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…

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.

Hey all.. My name is Nathan, I'm 19 and from Brisbane, and I thought i'd share my love for KE70's by putting a post up of my build... A mate of mine whom which owned the car was looking to upgrade to something other than this 'pile of shit', and so with a price tag of $500 I jumped at the chance, and obviously for that price the car wasn't going to be in the best shape, The body was 99% straight (Next to no dings/Dints) But what I did get was an eye-sore of an interior and a boot full or rust, Litterely!.... Basic plans: *Drift* * 1UZ-FE 4.0L V8 (Eventually super/turbo charge) * Series 5 RX7 5speed gearbox with a custom 1 peice tailshaft * RX7 Dif…

Hey guys new member here Have had a couple of corollas over the years including ae82 ke55 ke70 and now I own an ae93 gti Car as I got it 4age 16v Extractors with full exhaust Coil overs 17 inch white alloys (now on steel 14 inch to pass rwc) Bucket drivers seat ( now has Levin front seats) It does need a bit of love and can't wait to get it on the road

Hey all, I thought that its about time I re-introduce myself and my new acquisition, I picked this KE15 up a couple of weeks ago off another forum member, so far I have only tidied it up a bit and got registered. I have just grabbed the pictures I have already shared on Facebook... This was the day I picked it up: Then once I got it home giving it a tidy up: some of the pictures are a bit out of order but you get the idea ] And then yesterday as soon as I got it registered: So plans for it: very shor…

I decided to buy my Girlfriend, Amber, a car. She had always talked about her dad owning an AE82 Corolla Seca when she was little that he called the BLAT. I thought it would be nice to get her a Corolla the same model as the BLAT she loved so much... I found this one on gumtree, It was located in Mt.Bryan. Me and my brother went for a cruise down there in the Celica, It was a lovely drive =P Anywho, When we arrived we checked it out and made sure it was a good runner. Started up great, no knocks or noises, Went into gears more smoothly then my Celica. Sounds awesome for a little 4AC. We had also never seen that colour on an AE82 Seca. Got it home and serviced …

About time I put up a rides thread on my 1969 KE15 Toyota Corolla Sprinter, since its been 6 months since I bought it. The purchase came about as I had a hankering to own another classic besides the Celica, which I could put on club reg and use for the odd spot of hillclimbing, Sunday cruising etc, and be less precious about it - the Celica spends more time in the garage than it should because I am terrified someone will open their door on it in a carpark, or its raining, or the day ends in Y... etc etc. I spotted a KE15 on ebay that was a bit rough around the edges, but I figured in time with some love I could get it to fit the brief. I called the owner, and he q…

here she is 122k km's full service history. $8,500 bargain. got it yesterday!

here is my AE71 that I bought running with a blacktop 20v running standard ecu, and running like shit with vacuum leaks and wiring issues, used it as a daily until I lost my license, (p plate fell down on good behaviour 😔 so I decided i would turn it into a drift car because I'll have a lot more fun on the track with it! Specs on how I got it, Weldy Chopped springs front and rear with kyb AGX shocks in the front with xt130 struts brakes and lcas And using dodgy coolant hoses going to the back of the engine with fwd cooling system Has a dizzy relocation to the front That's about all it had from the start!

thought i might throw this up, its been 6 months in the build and is just about to get tuned. Mods are : evo 7 motor custom button clutch Bill hincher bellhousing R154 supra 5 speed 3.5" one piece tailshaft with solid uni's Hilux diff ems stinger 4424 front coilovers R33 front brakes MA70 supra rear brakes TD05 20G turbo with 3" cover 3" exhaust and a whole lot of custom shit to make it work! this is how you transport a motor!

Before & After

Hey all, I though I would share a few pics of my new KE20 I have recently picked up ready for a resto project. Still tossing around ideas on what i am going to do but I will keep you all posted.

Hi, i bought a ke20 last week with lots of parts and a 2tg.. the 2tg is going in my other ride, and the plan was to scrap the body, but its too damn stright and nice to scrap! so I'm going to make a mean looking rolla instead! pics! when i bought the car, the seller was going to move to another country.. got it home finally Just mocked it up, no front suspention... mocking up stuff, 9x16 inch rims in front, 225/45-16 streetslicks 265 wide streetslicks, goign to widen the rims 5-10 cm :D i also have a te27 ducktail that i will use... thinking of putting a worked 3k in there and i have shortened front supstenion and shrotened rear shocks..

This is my 1978 te51 corolla in Iowa. I'm a new member to the site, and very new to classic imports.I'm sure I will have many questions, but will try to find my answers using the search button. A little info on the car: 1978 te51 I found in the "back row beauties" of a local Ford lot. They told me the original owners wife traded the car off after he passed away. They also told me the car was redone about ten years ago and sat in the old guys garage. Hope you all like it, and hopefully I can find the info I need to get the car running correctly again. It has the original 2t-c and automatic

Just started doing up my 1988 ae82 corolla. Was completely stock when I got it. Was a gift from parents so hadn't spent a cent on it. Now I've cut the back Springs 100mm. Rode rough as anything. So chucked some tennis balls in the spring now it just rides smooth but bouncy. Going to paint it myself. Did a panel matte black see what it looks like I like it but thinking about doing a dirty white. De badged it. Took the muffler off and it sounded like a dirty thirty. Cutting front Springs tomorrow. Other mods I want to do, a nice set of wheels, thinking about chucking some roof racks and a rear Window spoiler thing like a little lip, some sort of exhaust. When I can fig…
