Hi All This is the reason I've decided to bow out of the corolla game for the next few years. Mods: - Factory Manual - HKS Panel Filter - HKS Turbo Back Exhaust - Amuse ETCS - Blitz URAS Racing DC II Gauges Wheels: AVS Model T7 - Front: 18x8 +38 - Rear: 18x9 +45 Suspension: - Cusco Type AS Front Strut Brace - CST Zero-1 Swift Coilovers - 14kg/mm Front Springs - 8kg/mm Rear Springs Misc: - Factory Upgrade Alarm (wired to work off the factory remote key) Here are some happy snaps from yesterday, so enjoy. :) And some more recent pics after a few cosmetic changes: All in all, VERY …

Hey guys, This is the very first AE82 Seca I bought off a dying friend of the family in immaculate condition and with only 160,000k's on the clock for just 900 bucks, We have had it now for just shy of 4 years and its been a great car, It now has 203,000k's and the only thing i have had to replace is the water pump x2 (1st new one was faulty), The fuel pump x2 (1st new one was faulty) and the timing belt as the one that was on it perished at 203,000k's (hopefully this one aint faulty). Only mods done to this one are: - 4age (kept auto) - Wheels (ENKEI's). - Twincam wheel. - Tower to Tower strut brace. - Tinted windows. - Audio. - Plates (her initials and DO…

Thought I'd better start a new topic instead of posting too many times in the KE2* Members thread. So here's the new rolla. I always wanted a te27 and will have one some day :dance: but thought this might make a neat replica in the meantime. Genuine 50 something thousand miles on the clock. Have the books showing original delivery date and owner's details. Services at 1000 miles, 6000, 12,000, 30,000, etc. Funny to see the books and read the service dates- all long before I was born. :blush: Photos speak for themselves I spose.

heres my ke50 which ive been doing up for a bit over 10 months now. stripping it down and getting all rust and dents out of it, then prepping it for painting. has a 2T in it and lowered, plenty of kool stuff. Before: After: Before: After: now i just have to put it all back together and a general clean up of everything along the way :P old pic of motor (much cleaner now): Interior (now black but not instaled yet): comments welcome.

So I got this little Ke16 from perth earlier this year, and have been meaning to get a progress report on the go Soooooo I flew over to perth and did a deal on a car I had never seen before ( I didnt even know Ke16s existed :hmm:), put it on a truck and flew home, 2 weeks later it arrived at the depot (70kays from me) so I figured it would be easy, get a mate to drive me up there, get in car, drive car home..... If only it was that easy. This is how it was when I got it This is the car overheating for the 8th time on the way home haha, turned a 1 hour trip into a 5 hour trip :bash: Once it was home it lasted 3 days before the sump gasket let go (in a…

Hey this is my first RWD corolla, I was looking for a while for a good KE but there where none without rust that where cheap so I found this one down near Byron bay. Name: Jake Car: 1980 TE72/T-18 Motor & Driveline: Stock 3T-C has extractors with 2" back one high flow muffler, and 38/38 synchronized weber. Suspension & Brakes: Stock suspension apart from cut springs :lolcry: Stock brakes with brand new rotors and pads (only cost just under $70 for brand new rotors and pads) Has a T series Diff too :blinks: Also has AJPS braided brake lines. Wheels & Tyres: 13"x5.5" on the front with 175/75R13 and 13"x6" on the rear with 185/70R13…

Hey all, after an absolute shit-fight with towing, I am now the proud owner of a really good (compared to my usual buckets) Multi-coloured AE71 wagon. I sat down and actually wote a plan for this car. She will need to be inspected to get registration, so I am going to leave the 4ac in it, degrease,clean etc, do body work and paint (white "rollered" boat paint), fit the TRX rims with leagl 2nd hand tyres, change the diff centre (ROFLMAO at the thought of driving in to inspection bay with the weldy in place!) and fit the missing driveling components from "Jesus". At the same time; I am going to continue doing bits and pieces on "Jesus" with the turbo conversion, so as soon …

well as some or you may know redback is going away soon ( had to upgrade to a wagon for the faimly) however i was allowed to get a project car for myself. managed to pick up a te72 out of the tradingpost got it for $250 minor surface rust in usual spots. a few small dents from something sittin on the roof for to long and same with the bonnet. needs a new clutch and some small rust holes in the bonnet. I'm still damn happy cos i got a te72 and its not in terrible condition YAY ;) ;)

Hey all I am new to the forums figured I would post my latest project :y: Not that anyone would probably care but I have had a 1979 2door mk2 escort for about 4 years spent way to much money on it and have had a 4agze with lots of JDM bits converted to turbo with a disco potato and a lt10s sitting my garage for about a year now waiting to go in..... Ive recently realized I can do a conversion on a KE70 for a lot cheaper and in the end I will have a lot more fun :y: pics up.... EDIT/UPDATE: Due to me not being organised i will not be sitting the engine on the weekend starting 27/09 (as i don't have an engine crane) - due to this i will be hunting a tailshaf…

'75 KE30 The day i bought it Our first day at work Lets see so far the specs on it are Extractors 2" exhaust rear louvres and two speed auto (slow and slower) Plans for it after we come back from Wagga are swapping out the auto for either the trimatic from a '55 or a 5 speed manual. Its a tough choice cause i'm loving the lazy man's car. Upgrading the front end with T-18 struts and either twin the sway bar or a thicker one Stiffen the arse end. Either re-build the 4k i have sitting in the garage or swap in the 2t-g (just need a 'box for it) Or some where down the track swap in a 1.3lt from a different pedigree of manufacture. …

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 little homebuilt trike it starts with a xt550 front end including steering homemade chassis conected to a complete datsun 180b independent rear end. Power is a 4k with 3spd auto i have mounted a sc12 blower on it (not piped yet-soon though) have an 1 3/4 su carby to fit drawthrough onto it i am going to make custon extractors to suit along with inlet manifold this trike is mainly for straight line sand dragging over 100 -130 meter distance more soon

So here is the recent addition to the stable. A 1986 AE82 Twincam that cost me $200. Basically saved it from the scrapper and the plan is to use it as a club car in events such as hillclimbs and motorkhanas. Car was cheap as it is unregistered and motor is in pieces as it was cooked by the previous owner. All the bits are there but in the boot and interior has been ripped apart as he took out his stereo. Definitely get stuck into it next year when I get back from holidays. Once I have it running i'll strip it out get club reg and see what it can do/how long it will last on the track! Here are some pics. P.S. everyone knows that red is faster :) …

Hey there, My names Jordan. I've been meaning to this on here for a while now. This is my second corolla (i have to stop being addicted). I bought it off a guy locally about 6 or more months ago. I got lucky as i wasn't looking for long till i found the Ke26 i wanted :). It has a 4K atm but am looking to upgrade to a mildly worked 5K :yes: Has a 5 speed box which i find very handy. Jap diff. Things i have done: Satin black RA40 Celica rims running 195/60 R14 tyres all round. Engine change from 3K to 4K (my first engine change). Rust repairs, however i have not fully finished and am unsatisfied with my job. So i will be restarting and maybe practice weldi…

well iv already posted her up on other forums so I'm sure a few of you have seen it, anyway i thought id share it with the others who havent and see what they reacon, don't have many pics of it on my laptop so il give you the basic rundown of whats happend over the last 2 years since i got it.. bought the car as it looks in the first pic, running the mighty 3k and driving overrated, winter came round a couple months later and the damn thing wouldnt start so i decided to go injected, was ment to be a short and simple conversion but one thing led to another and well heres a rundown on whats been done: 16v 4agze smallport head/block>w55 celica box custom turbo ma…

Hi there . just got my first corolla a 1975 KE35 hardtop. picked it up for $650 and drove it for 8 hours straight to get it home. shes got the 4k engine. but a four speed manual. the pics are attached if you want to comment.[ needing some advise on where to start in getting the little beast going a bit better. got some extracters and exhaust but thats about it. also would like to improve handling. what sort of price range is a 4age coversion worth?. is there any thing else could possibly look at? also what are some parts that are same as other models as this isn't the easiest thing to get parts for. any places that are best to look.

hey all I will try update this thread as I build my ke70, it's a racecar I intend to use in a class called special saloon and the rules is somewhat similar as the old gr.5 I once had an old thread but I want a fresh start as this no longer is a "track car" I will use the 4A-GE blacktop, and for chassis I aim for lowest possible weight, I will try my best to be around 700kg included driver + fuel engine is moved approx 20cm further to the rear, pedalbox and driver seat is also moved approx 20cm and the car is lowered approx 20cm, roof height is 120cm ( stock 140cm ) right now the rolling chassis weight 386kg which I think is a bit to heavy so I'm c…

Back again with another Ke1x Corolla... this time, its a Wagon! The game plan... overrated interior and bay, Ghetto body. Motor wise it will cop a 4k/5k depending on how easy I can get a 5k :glare: It had an RX3 LSD diff in it, but thats gone. Standard diff went into it tonight. Standard front end, just lowered with Ke55 discs and calipers. Bit of a different location this time... under the Containers! I'm not use to working outside in gravel hahaha :hmm: Get a shed spot back soon so this will be going there! The plan!! What it looks like Minus the photoshopped black.. can't find original photo anywhere but its in poo brown pri…

OK, I have always had an obsession with the trd 3kr engine from back in the day, realised I was never going to get a real one so I decided to build my own. I don’t recommend this conversion to anyone I did it just to be see if it could be done. It took a lot of time and if I was not a fitter/turner a lot of money. Hope you find it as cool as I do. - Phil Matthews-Frederick. To save a lot of questions here are the specs. Head 4AGE small port head, head stud holes elongated to suit 4k block Head face machined 2mm Front face milled to clear 4k waterpump 11.5:1 static compression Valve train Stock valves trd springs cam te…

Went to upload some random "new bits" photos into my project thread just to realise I didn't actually have one! So here it goes. Before: Stock KE70 SE, clean as hell. Few months ago... Copied and pasted from the KE70 & AE71 members thread. Car: 1983 KE70 SE Motor & Driveline: Standard 4K-C with a 2" exhaust and K40 box. Suspension & Brakes: Pedders springs, front strut brace (currently off) , bendix metal king pads... apart from that, stock. Wheels & Tyres: 15x7 Superlites with Potenza GIII rubber. Interior: SW20 MR2 seats, Speco 2.5inch tacho, el'cheapo Autotechnica sports wheel. Body: Cheap old school looking …

Well, after seeing an MS75 at Picnic at Hanging Rock earlier this year, and my partner falling in love with it, it has always been in the back of my mind that we would own an MS65 or MS75. when Adam (silverra23) posted about a one owner MS65 for $500 ono, i knew this would be a great chance of bringing one into the family. we (myself and Kate) drove out there together to check it out and after turning the key to hear it fire immediately, it was a no brainer. we left a deposit on it and drove back the 1 hour 30 mins home to count the days until we picked it up a week later (yesterday). the drive back was trouble-free, not a thing went wrong (except for the guy …

So I was having a chat with a fellow corolla owner, and he informed me of a reasonable condition KE36 sitting at, of all places, the dump...and he said they wanted to sell it. Now they wanted $700, and my mate told me he had talked them down to $400. I told him he shouldn't have told me about this, as for some reason, no matter what or where or when or how I am told about a corolla....I usually end up owning it within a week. Which is exactly what happened AGAIN. After a terrible experience at motor registry 8| :lol: asshole pieces of shit that work there!! ....................anyways, I decided to head out to have a look at this wagon. Now I have …

Just found a new Project, Just when i was about to re-power my Ke17 SL, I found an unbelieveably rust free Ke15 sprinter. So plan have now changed for the ke17, now will be selling it ealry next year - selling as is, with the fully worked 5K. In Regards to my ke15 this one will be powerd by a 4age T50 hylux diff. combination. Pannel and prime work booked in 6 weeks time. Get back to you after first stage! First stage photos

hey i recently just brought my 1st car its a 1973 corolla, not many here in perth as ive found out i got it from an old lady 1 owner its in overrated condition full service history and minimal rust all is stock she recently put a new exhaust because old one rusted out. no cracks on the dash i opened the ashtray to find its near new lol, all chrome is near perfect I'm exstatic about the car and the price i got it for all is liscenced for another year its just an allround awsome 1st car I'm looking for ideas for setups so far ive decided for a ke25 grill beacuse i think it looks much better, if anyone has one lying around id be glad to take that off y…

Ok so i have been looking around on this site for a while now and i find it quite enjoyable checking out everyone's ride so i thought i would start a thread on this little Ke10 that i have been playing with for the last 3 years. This car is to be my wifes daily driver when its all together. The story started after i sold my last Ke10 that i owned when first met and after selling it we decided that we missed the little bugger, so we went and bought another. unfortanetly i don't have pics when we drove it home but it was white, rust free and 4k, 4 speed powered and that was six years ago. so three years ago we started pulling apart with the intention of a full r…

I bought a CA18det powered KE20 from a rollaclub member before christmas, although well engineered the condition of the body and paint was sub par, have spent the last month or so fixing dents, changing panels and sanding, last couple of nights have been a bit more interesting as i am up to blocking back and buffing stage. I am making this car a bit of a clone to my other KE20, PHATKE20s hooked me up with some corona rims and it will be running some 14" whitewall nankang tires with dress rims and centre caps etc. Need to convert to 4x114.3 pcd for this to happen. Interior should clean up ok, after i have finished buffing and its all back together i need to pull the e…

For pics, see my photo blog: Sloth's AE86 And pics of my two girls: AE86 vs KE55 The Story so far: My first car was a KE35 rolla (it was actually my step-dads but I basically inherited it). Me and my dad started doing a bit of work on it, but ended up buying a KE55 and working on that instead. (I've told this story many times before, so I'll skip ahead). 3 years and a couple of dollars later the KE55 was sprayed blue with white stripes, had new car, a new dash, momo wheel, sparco fixed back seat and had a 7k that had been rebuilt (and improved) with a 5 speed box. It only puts out 56rwkw, but it's a fun car too drive (sometimes too fun). She's started to …

Hi all :dance: I'm Scott and live in the UK. My other car is a full drift spec Nissan Silvia (see pics!), but its a bit harsh on fuel to use every day for work, so I went looking for something cheaper to run, interesting and must be jap to use as a daily driver!! I never expected this :hmm: ............ Here is my 1981 Toyota Corolla KE70 1300 that I picked up last week!! This car is so clean and origional, I couldnt believe it when my friend brought it around! It was owned by an old gentleman that passed away and his family just took his car to the local scrap yard! The guys at the scrapyard thought it was too good to scrap so sold it as …

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 have bought ae71 auto 3 owner and 82000km had the usual idea bolting a 4age and manual conversation but as today I'm also the owner of te71 gt so new plan is to transplant driveline (2tgeu 5peed and diff ) as the body on te is U/S i do have one question is better run efi or twin carbs??

The Story: Bought this today off 'never'. It was a 'must buy' situation as i have been obsessed with this particular little car since i was old enough to walk. This car was owned by my old man's karting buddy for 20 or so years. To say this man was fussy is an understatement and it needs to be seen to be beleived. Anyway after sacrificing a nice KE55 hardtop and clean Commodore daily driver the car was in the garage. The Plan: The motor is in need of a thorough tune as the mixtures, jetting and balance seem to be way out. Not safe or nice to drive at the moment. Hopefully get this sorted first and then move onto the other problems. The brakes require a fa…

Hey guys thought i would introduce my baby as i m new to the forum my project is almost near completion. It is a '75 coupe Complete respray in aqua green early holden colour. Ca18/5 speed conversion. Chipped standard ecu Bosch efi fuel pump. pulsar seats speeco gauges new carpet hoodlining door trims custom panels (old cig lighter etc & shifter surround) celica wheels. Toying with waht to do it has a completly rebuilt ca18de but its built to handle 10psi. Interested to see what it ll be like n/a but also have t25g and manifold ready for it and a mircotech ltx-8 for when she gets boosted. only thing is if i go n/a straight away i need to get new zorst when i boo…

I bought this coupe AE70 in November 2007 for just over a grand. I have put a couple of pics up, keep in mind these are very old pics that I took in November '07 when I bought the car, and its not what it looks like at the moment. I'll get some fresh pics up soon. I actually have two of these, One of them ive been using as the donor car, which I have pinched a couple of panels and interior bits and peices from. It sat in the garage for about 8 months after I bought it (not running) So I started to get serious about it in July and I've slowly been working away at the panels since then. It's getting painted satin black, going for an old school rat rod sort …

Heres my $200 daily Picked up a few months ago, finally got round to getting roadworthy/rego. havent done much to it, got makita's all round, new wheels/tyres on front perfect for either a SR20 or 4AGE, not sure which path yet, its only a daily for now, see how the modyfying bug goes. I'm new to the RWD corolla scene, looking at lowering properly in the coming months, AE86 struts, brakes, shocks etc.. before as it sits now And heres my other car, trying to sell, powerdyne super6, 12psi blah blah

hey guys got my first rolla =] i picked up a 1981 4 door rolla with only 130 000 on the clock and it is super neat! 5speed and aircon! the rear seat isnt to pretty its really ripped but the dash has no cracks and everything is clean roof lining door cards the whole lot no rust repairs and only some minor surface rust ive got some big plans for it but keeping it as neat as possible don't really want to go hanging heaps of stuff off it specialy when its so overrated so, so far i have put on my seat covers on cleaned up the engine bay abit put on a sports air filter white walls and crome rim trims i got a gauge for it today because the temp gauge doesnt wor…

hey guys, picked up this ke26 on wednesday night, had been looking for another one for awhile to go with the panelvan I'm building. put the bits from my other car that is now sold onto it, gave it a quick cleanup etc and thought i'd take some pics. the thing is original as, interior is basically spotless apart from the front seats which have a little bit of tearing. the dash is overrated, roof lining is perfect. the first owner was an old dude who always had the rear seat folded down as he always had his dog in it so the rear seat is like new (the car reeks of dog now however lol). its just a standard 3K/4 speed affair, nothing to flashy, but it drives well. needs a few …

Sold my ke30 and picked up this ke20 today

Well just signed up on the website soo :S but anyway just a quick look at what I'm doing . I have done more just don't have the photos.. here is my KE55 that I had ... R.I.P lol
