Rollaclub Rides

The short version…… Well it all started when the tailgater that had been following us just about all over town pushed Rolln03 just that little bit too hard… One screaming 4k and a lesson to the tailgater taught (smokescreen…well almost) we were left with fried piston rings and a blown head gasket. One week later and after many calls made by Rolln03 a 5k was found at the Maryborough wreckers… the engine cost was $250 and it came with a 5spd gearbox…too good to pass up. As soon as Rolln03 told me about it I started scheming :hmm: with his mates and about three days later a phone call and the co-operation :( of the of the wreckers team – I was now the …

You've all seen it before in the other thread but I thought I would post it here so I could update it as the car progresses. For those who don't know, this car was bought for $250 off ebay. It started life as a lowly KE70 S trim povo pack. It was powered by a completly standard 4K in front of a 3 speed auto. Not very exciting at all. Here are some pics of when I bought it. It wasnt long (about 10 days) before I got bored of driving around with an ashmatic 4K and a slipping automatic transmission barely keeping up with traffic and getting bored to tears with not owning a manual car anymore. It was time to pull the running gear which used to reside in…

Hey guys, I think I posted on this site before, but for some reason I can't seem to dig the old post up to put some more recent photos, nothing much has changed. Anyways here are some recent pictures. Some things I would like to do: The bump strip needs some attention, I either want to take it off all together or move it down along the door line. Because at the moment it is looking really tacky. The motor needs new valve stem seals I think, blows some blue smoke on startup and around town sometimes. The front metal bumper bar has a little dint if a keen eye can spot it out. Apart from that I'm keeping it original. Hope you like the pics. …

Hi Guys, Here's a small gallery of some pics taken during the latest swap. http://www.rollamods.com/gallery/posv3/index.htm Specs of the car now: -1981 KE70, Yellow. -AE71 crossmember, steering rack & column, dash cluster, dash loom, shifter surround, heater box, front body loom modified for KE70 headlights and indicators -TA63 Carina steering arms, suspension arms and struts converted to coilovers with Koni red inserts -Cusco cambertops -MA61 front brakes with slotted DBA rotor and EBC greenstuff pads -AE86 T series LSD disc-brake rear end with AE86 Levin tailshaft -S15 Brake Master Cylinder on AE71 booster -Whiteline front and rear swaybars, adj…

Hey guys, well i have been trawling these forums for a long time as they provide a valuable source of info about corolla's , I brought this car in May this year for $500 off a 60yr old lady who had owned it for the last 15yrs, it had the pink slip done (dodgey will get to it later) all it needed was a renewal and insurance cost me $800 all up. So i drove it around for a while (still on L's) and then one day i decided i'd take the wheels off it and clean them, while they were off i thought i'd check the disc pads and shoes. And what a fright i got, it was metal on metal on the front and there was 1mm of shoe left on the rears, and they passed it? dodgy bastards…

Names alex and i got a ke55 coupe (i like the "Painful Noob") 4k with a 5 speed I guess that i will keep updating with pics when i do something happy

Just saw this on another forum about a 4AGE powered kp30 :eek: here's alink to the site about the car click

thought i'd make a topic for this thing here after crashing oke250, i have no corolla. i bought a hilux to minitruck, but i don't want it so it's for sale. i picked up this 1975 ke36 panelvan off ken & nikki for 700 bucks. ken's been poking around getting it half roadworthy for me for the last couple of weeks, and rob was coming my way with his car trailer last night, so he bought it down for me. again, many many thanks to mr dixon so today, i used the last bits of daylight to clean it up a bit, just vacuumed all the rocks and dirt and hay and horse feed and broken glass (?). it's not too bad under all that, at least it's not too painful to look at now. i can'…

This in a story of an classic Rally sprint racer called "Flame". In previous owner it had 16v 4A-G (201hv@engine. DIN), 5speed T50 modified closeratio dogbox, dana30 rear end with 5.38 ratio and lsd, bilstain front shocks and proflex at rear. I had opportunity to participate in one competition event at tarmac. And loved the car so much, that when the previous owner decided to move complete technics in AE86 body, i was forced to buy the rest of it :jamie: In couple weeks i'm going to get the body home. At engine partment i'm going to stay in 4A-G, but going to 20v setup. This is what it use to look driven by me.

Hi. Thought I'd post my car, as I just put it on the database! Let me know what you think. Here it is About to put some bolt on flares on it, will take some more pics after the weekend. Cheers, Rob.

Ok, first thing id like to say is i plan for this car to have show potential as well as impressive runner. I also have a completely secret mod. which i will not discuss till after its complete which is my number one priority after the engine conversion.

my mate has a AE71 rolla that is stock. we are doing some suspension work to it and we got thinking. he just so happens to have some ford ba 6 cyl injectors, a audi tt coupe turbo and efi running gear lying around. we were thinking of throwing it all together with hawk comp that he can get a hold of very easily and cheep. any ideas other than the wiring mess and decomp. how do you recon the 4ac will hold up? cheers

I have been working on my ke35 coupe for around 5 years now.......and I am almost at the stage where it needs a paint job. Any budding painters out there who would like to earn a few bob? Or perhaps a recommendation from someone who has a place in mind? Anything under $1,000 will be greatly appreciated.

I bought the ke30 2dr in September 2004 transported it on a trailer to my garage and left it. It sat untouched until in May this year I finally got my lazy ass out to the garage and started having a look at what I could do. It needed a whole new interior but I figured an engine refresh was the first thing to do so that at least I could drive it around while I slowly fixed the interior. So I stripped it down to the block, had the cam reground, obtained a 3k head as it had a 4k head on it :D as has been documented elsewhere on this site. Meticulously cleaned the head and reseated the valves, obtained a inlet manifold due to the existing one being cracked, cleaned …

Well. for those of you that wanted to know what happened to the ae71 that 1984 cs-x rolla was selling due to being written off. well the engine and gearbox and all the other lil bits are sitting in my engine bay now YAY..

Hey, I've started accumulating the bits and pieces for my turbo 5K. The plan is to use my 5K block, bore it out 0.5 - 1.5mm. Use some 78 internal, 81 - 82 exteranl, cast steel sleeves in the bores. I scored 4 rb20det pistons with 80k on em for 20 bucks! So that should work nice with some brass inserts to connects the rods. The pistons are 3.2 mm shorter than a 5K unit so I'm gonna deck the block 1mm and shave the head 1mm too, and use a 1mm copper head gasket with a double O-ring. I'll reconfigure the head a bit too. It should be about 1.4 L and 7.5 - 7.8 : 1 compression ratio after that. I plan not to rev it too hard so I'm gonna stick with standard 5K rods…

this is my free rolla

hey fellas ... I am in possession of 1 x 1974 KE30 2-door sedan, the 20,000th KE30 produced too :D The car has a small amount of rust in engine bay, that will be taken care of shortly. The car will be painted XR6 orange via a workshop where i know a guy ;) I have a j-spec mazda B6T engine that i plan to transplant into her, using an MX5 gearbox (since the motor was east-west from FWD tx3). These motors were rated at 115kw stock i believe. I have a Galant VR4 rally-spec intercooler to use (courtesy of Andrew whom which i swapped a set of mags & sideskirts for), with a slightly larger than stock turbo (from the BPT; 1.8L turbo tx3's/familias). I am mis…

Hey There People I'm new here. Just thought i'd tell you of my project i'm undertaking. I have sucessfully fitted a 4-AC backed with a T-50 gearbox, custom tailshaft, shortened shifter into my KE55 corolla that has a partially completed KE30 exterior. I like to call it my AE35 cos the running gear is out of an AE86 Aus-spec. I still have to mod the clutch pedal to suit the hydraulic system and source a few connectors off an AE82 for the temp sensor, oil light and i also have to relocate the coil as it sits on the wrong side of the engine bay. Only problem i do have at the moment is i can only get the car to start by jumping a wire on the starter motor …

Hey just signed up and thought i'd chuck up some quick info on my rolla. car isn't anything special really at the moment. Heres some basic specs of the car. - 1990 Seca SX - red paint that is showing its age - standard smallport 4AGE that is slowly on the way out - 16" hyperfang wheels, soon to be replaced by a set of simmons wheels - cat back exhaust that was there when i bought the car. Suspension: - Noltec bushes - Lovells springs (25-40mm lower) - pedders camber kit on the front - ultima shocks, cheap option but they're alright compared to the standard one Interior: - Momo wheel that a mate picked up in japan for me - Momo gearknob, 21st present…

hey guys I'm new on this forum so i thought i'd introduce you all to my money pit (car!) that i cruise around in...!

well thought it was about time i posted some details of my new project.... AW11 MR2 its an 86 n/a version thats had an ae92 bigport (9.4:1) engine fitted with aw11 s/c gear. still runs the stock box which has closer ratios than the s/c box so with the extra power from the compression and the closer ratios, this thing leaves stock superchargers for dead :) am awaiting TRD shocks from japan, then there will be TRD springs. also water to air intercooler and a l/h vent for pod filter intake. the sound deadnign has been removed and with the loud exhaust, i keep imagining I'm in a group B car :)

I'm wanting to upgrade my car, preferably as cheaply as possible. If anyone can provide very cheap parts or free advice I'd be very grateful.
