I thought I posted my build but can't seem to find it maybe its the fact that I don't know were to post it because thier is no "toyota other" catergory for it lol incase one did not know I have a 1972 Toyota Carina and it is a mix cross breed of a corolla and celica, celica chassis and corolla engine and drive train so be prepared this is long here we go!!

Well its time for me to start a build thread as i just aquired my KE20 this morning back seat is in fairly good condition just one section where the stitching is coming undone and the dash pad is in need of replacing but the dash gauges look to be in good nick

Soooo i'm back in another ke20. Most of you know this car already. engine; Head slightly ported and polished, lumpy cam, extractors, lightened flywheel, new valves, springs, pistons. pretty much everything was freshened up, the effort gone into the engine is awesome and it shows when driven. since getting it i have had another muffler installed as it was way to loud, lowered it and as of today had whitewalls put on. interior is pretty much overrated bar the drivers seat, and it seems the carby is on its way out. looking to go some sought of weber or something to get that extra bit of power its lacking. any advice would be fantastic.

Hi All I'm a new member starting a new corolla project, based in Burleigh Heads Gold Coast. bought this low km original 74 KE20 It arrives on Tuesday from Victoria by truck. Scored a RWD 4AGE and T50 from Rolins Imports. Paul at Stoich Motorsports is doing the conversion early January for me. Looking for a stealth look....stock external, whitewall tyres, rear venetian blind, stock white interior. But under the hood Paul will be fitting: - the 4age with turbo and custom manifold intercooler and piping. - T50 and shortened hilux diff as driveline Probably going to run a haltech havent decided yet. Scored the Queensland plates 744AGE G…

Hi, I have a 75 KE30 Corolla SE Auto which I am trying to get a valuation on for my insurance co. It's in overrated condition with only 47,500 K's on the clock (Genuine) Can anybody help me out with a valuation of what it might be worth? Fast Eddy

this is my ke30 my misses has been driving it for a while. it is pretty much stock execpt i put central locking in it and the power windows i didn't like the universal kits so i fabricated my own. i also repainted and put new crome striping on the grille of it aswell.

Hey There, I have just purchased a sweet 2000 ultima and would love to know about some intake options that people know of, I am going to upgrade the intake and exhaust first then look at suspension and the list goes on. Would any one be able to explain the intake set up of this pic I found wih a 7afe with trumpets? It looks tuff as! Would this engine fit in my car with this set up or would the air filters be facing the back and all squashed up? As in what I would need to modify my current set up to get this under my hood. At the momment it is a stock 1.8 efi 7afe Cheers

Hi all, I have been lurking around most of the Toyota Corolla forums for a while now, just reading what is out there before deciding to become a member. I have put together a few tuff cars in the past but I have never posted any of the builds on the net, but I would like to share with the members on Rollaclub the build of my little Corolla. The build I would like to share is of my 1 owner KE35, I have been looking to find a good one for the past 2 years. The KE35 I picked up was owned by a little old lady that had all of the log books and had a full service history from the day she bought it from the Toyota dealer. Make ~ Toyota Model ~ Corolla KE35 Year ~…

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 anyone I have a 7k in my ke11 and it is currently carby but would like to go EFI and turbo if anyone has some info on this or if it has been done already I would like to read about it.

OK... Just because a good deal comes along, doesn't mean I should accept it. Right? Wrong. Evidently, I should not be allowed to inspect potential automotive purchases without proper supervision... ie: don't bring girls with you when someone says, "hey, come check out this VW, you can have it for $100" because they will go "oooo isn't it cute.... BUY IT" which is not the kind of influence someone with an addiction to buying buckets of shite should have around them. Oh well. So now I own this little blue beastie. For 100 snails, its actually a pretty good buy. I think I'll just be restoring it to relatively original condition... but we all know how these …

Ok so its been a couple of years, I figure I'm ready to start a build thread now... but DON'T RUSH ME ALREADY I can't handle the immense peer pressure and scrutiny :lolcry: This is Benji. I picked him up a little while ago for the missus to drive, so she can stop thrashing the snot out of mine and I can take it off the road for re-incarnation. Collecting it was a mission in itself... details here. So at this point it had cut springs, rooted shocks, and several missing wheel studs. These problems have been rectified with nice new stock replacements for the time being. I binned the cooked head and threw another reco one on (which I had in the shed, h…

So... I was having a couple of beverages with this german backpacker the other day, and, long story short, she gave me her car. Its a 1980 Mazda 929. 2 litre, 5 speed, Aircon. Grotesquely overweight, and more akin to driving a lounge room than a car.... with period correct brownest of brown interior, resplendent in crushed velvety stuff (striped and pleated) and laminex woodgrain. Sexy. Now ordinarily I'd just take something like this out bush and see how well it was engineered, but unfortunately: a: It drives beautifully b: It is 100% completely rust free c: It is completely original, unmolested and DEAD straight... other than the front.... So I've decided …

Hey guys, Had this car for nearly 2 years now, and finally gotten around to finally doing some work to it, plans are to get it on the road and use it as a daily while i work on my red KE30.. It currently needs the following for rego.. -Front Windscreen (got one, need to put in) -Diff, old one was whining, (put a banjo in there) -Rust around the wheel arches, (all fibreglassed up and resprayed) -General clean up.. Plans are.. -Lower it -2" exhaust -Venetians :D -Spray the rims black, and keep the chrome dress ring.. :) When I got the car the first thing i did was replace the square headlights with round ones, ( there is a thread already made ab…

I'm a Datsun man, i love restoring them.... But i've always been fond of the old Corollas and after owning an 84 KE70 as a rally car i've always wanted one as a dailey. Anyways, i just sold my car, then my parnter in crimes car broke down, leaving us desperate for a car. It seems that, unless you stumble onto a bargain these days, most people want BIG$$$ for these machines, i so i bought an "in need of love" specimen. The guy who sold it to me was dodgey as, but i knew what i was in for so i bought it. Apparantly the engine was stuffed, "blown head gasket" or something... choke was stuck shut, thats all :) Its been resprayed (in enamel) to to hide the half a…

picked up this beauty today with bAKER. 1982 ke70 panno. white. 4spd manual, 280,000kms on the clock. has only done about 800kms in the past year so everything is a bit stiff but she's slowly loosening up. will not have the chrome bars much longer. have sold them for nearly the cost of the car. plan is just to have it on club registration and have it ship shape for the vic members GOR run at the end of january. no tents for me! will have more detailed pics and information once i get a good look over it after new years. just wanted to spread the excitment now. :happy:

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, I'm new here but I thought I'd share with you in detail the build I have been doing over the last month and a bit. My names Jarrad, I'm 19 and in Melbourne. I got to uni, studying industrial design and I managed to cram this into my holidays just over. Here she is as I got her. A very tidy example with a few needed rust repairs in the usual places. It's done a few km's and needed a new diff. Apart from that - spick and span. Owned by a car-detailer that sold it because he got a AE86. Prior to him it was owned by a Toyota mechanic. First step for me was to start hacking up the rust. I stripped it completely and made up some panels to w…

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

Hey everyone :) Me and dad just picked up a 87 hilux 2wd tub, it has a 5 speed and a 3y engine. I have had a look over the beast atm to see whats needed and how easy to mod?? Its getting big :blinks: but its all easy stuff :wink: We have a set of falcon rims that ill put on to bling it up :lolcry: My aim is just to fix it up and drive around in it hopefully :happy: Ill put some pics up later See ya Jimi

*first post* Hullo, names Ben and I live in nth qld, nice to meet you all. Been getting into racing lately, joined a local CAMS club and now want my own rally car. Picked up an ae82 twin cam from a local wreckers for $1000 with only a stripped clutch as a fault. We have stripped it out, built strengthening plates for rollover and half built the roll cage, custom fit racing seats, removed steering lock, mounted harnesses, mounted skid plate and replaced a hd clutch. Rally tires are on with the suspension razed a bit! All the welding and fab is done by me. mechanical is me with huge mechanical knowledge support from Dad. Getting my cams license and racing with it next…

Hey guys. This is my 1998 daily. I've never posted pictures of my work. I'm self taught and seeing where I can go with it. Let me know what you guys think. It's definitely a work in progress. I'll just post one pic for now and take more. Here's a before and after of my seat. The front two are done (except a head rest) and I'm just starting the back now.

Are they for real?! LoL it put a smile on my face... I'm not sure if they are for real or not ! This could be intresting baahhahahha

Hey guys this is my Ae92, Its 3/4 Finished now, I'll throw some pics up and story from then till now. Basically, it was my Ex Gf's Mums car, She owned it from new, It was then passed onto my Ex when she got her P's, She got a new car, I took owner ship of it, Wanted something cheap to run and maintain as a daily. Its had a reasonable life, Owned by 2 mechanics now. The Ex neglected it a bit, but considering its got over 360,000 on it and is still going strong, I can't complain. I think since I've owned it I would have spent maz $1200 getting it to the stage its at now, Still have a reasonable list of things to go to 'finish' it. All the work has been done by myself, or he…

Hey guys, I'm new well name's Sara.. I own a 91 Toyota seca CSI. I have just got her back from the panel shop with a new coat of paint and some body mods. I originally got this car of Ebay, yes seriously I did.. Was dinged to hell but soon sorted that out..

Yo starting to get my shit together with my rolla. Its a first time re-build for me so bere with me. I am thinking 4age or rotor. Any suggestions would be a help. James heres a few pics of the car as i got it and progress of the body work

A selection of old toyotas i have owned in the past in NZ 1st up is my old 1993 AE101 Levin 20v turbo I built this from scratch over 3yrs as it came a stock car from Japan, i was the 1st owner an this is how i sold it. Made covercar of a performance mag back home also was featured at the nationals etc. Heres the fun old toyota hacks ive owned Theres been other makes, but ive always been a toyota man! haha

Hello ladies and gentle man been along time since I've had one of these babies but my brother and I have gone halves in another corolla, not saying what it is but here is the only pic I'm putting up untill there is some progress on it

Recently sold my car trailer and have replaced it with this 1981 model Toyoace truck. Its only done 97,000, no rust and a very healthy 5R 2.0 motor. I'm going to make a new back for it with some ramps and an electric winch to pull the car on. Will be purpose built for KE Corollas. Looking for some original hubcaps and some other little bits so if you know where one is let me know!

Just arived and hour ago, this was the one on Ebay. Its pretty original and rust free.I just put in a battery and of she went. Needs accelerator cable, so if you've got one i need it! Don't know what i'll do with it, most likely re shell my KE 70 Kahanacross car into it so i can legally use it on the street! :P

Had to do a little shuffle this arvo so as to get the red KE17 back under cover after being away at the workshop for the last few weeks. The silver one is my 1970 Corona RT72 1900 SL, The white KE17 SL is my wifes which she was thinking of selling, but now i've got it out and going again she's decided to hang on to in for now ( has been stored for the last 10 years) and finally the red KE17 SL which most of you already know.

A shot video of my drive to the "Early Rodders" meet here in Southern California... Driving my 1973 TE-27 Road Race/ Autocross car to the weekly Saturday morning meet of the "Early Rodders" in Montrose, Southern California. Most of the cars are high end Italian and German cars, and a few beautifully restored American classics. I just love the reaction of people when I drive this car in, no matter what car event it is... Enjoy, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrdLHU22D0w

Hey, picked this little beauty up earlier in the week. It's a yellow, 1980, ke55 cs coupe, auto. Not too bad condition. Has some rust spots and dents. Interior is quite good apart from dash top, most things work. The heater works! The 4k runs well and goes alright considering it's auto. Plans are to clean it up, put it on historic rego and then later I will think about a manual conversion and other mods. But for now I'm just cruising around in it and doing a few repairs. I have got some touch up paint already and have done a few little repairs. I shaved the rear corolla badge, welded holes up and gave it some paint and also under the fuel cap I did a small rust repair. P…
