This is a warning to the Rollaclub community and the wider Toyota community. Last November a person started advertising on ebay and not honouring sales. This spread to a number of Toyota related forums. Mainly here and AE86DC. This person has gone by the name of Rollamanke70 and mkxy351gtho on ebay. Rollaclub names of DRFTR, rollaslider87, dirttracker and Ritto64. He has used the names Mickey Scuteri, Nic, Domenic, and to be honest, recently any other that seemed to come it his/her/its head. His emails are usually gmail addresses or non isp addresses. As vigilant as we are, we can't always immediately block any new accounts (for various reasons.) …

Hi guys. I'm sure we are all familiar with the idea of a parts car. Some may call them donor cars, parts whores etc. They are an essential tool in building other better cars, and are essential to every restoration. I was looking through some older photos and thought why not start a thread to remember them by. Ill begin. The only rule is that they must be as stripped and flogged looking as possible, as close to the end as possible.

The Rollaclub stickers are making their return! This thread will be constantly updated with current stock, and there should be minimal delays in restocking anything that runs out. I’ll start with what I have right now......

:thumbsup: -Hey guys, okay guys I was checking out this Celica site a while back and I saw this guys Celica... RA20 Its the Fifth Celica Ever Made. It got me thinking, hmm, i wonder if anyone has the youngest or oldest KE30 ever made on rollaclub. It'd be worth checking out whos got what. So I went to the wreckers last week and checked out their 9 KE30 corollas. It turns out that out of them all Lola is the youngest. So i put this challenge forth to everyone on Rollaclub. Post me your Vin number and i'll add it to the list of your model with your name next to it. Feel free to post a pic too. Its entirely up to you to post. From the Administrators: Guys jus…

That is all.

Hey, Looking at selling my current project and buying a KE70 for a daily/driving project. There is a minter down the road for sale for under $1,000 and i just wanna know how easy it will be to modify it. Just a few Questions ..Is there a good year/model i should look out for or are they all the same? .Whats it like fitting 17" in wheels to these? are they 4x114.3? what offset fits best? .Whats it like fitting AE86 after market coil over front suspension, strut brace and any other upgrades for the front. .What engines are in these? I guess it is a 4K or something like that .What are the stock brakes like and what is a decent upgrade as it may be a rotary dow…

This is a beams engine. Click Having driven one in an altezza I can confirm they are one of the most smooth, tractable fantastic most wonderfullest engines ever made. Also.... It is RWD It has a 6 speed gearbox It comes with half a car... ie: loom, ecu, dash, seats, tailshaft, and big brakes It will fit in your corolla and make it go astonishingly fast Someone please buy it, and keep it out of the hands of some dirty knuckle dragging toymods carf@$ker... sell a kidney or something. 5k may seem a lot of money, but bear in mind the ease of conversion and very low k's on the engine, plus all the bonus bits you get with the half cut... If I ha…

Hey All, I have a KE70 which i have put a 4AC in from an AE71 (changed to hydrolic clutch etc). The engine is getting rather leaky and smokey and i figured it was time for a transplant. I aquired an AE82 for a parts car and realised it has a 4AC in it so we have decided to use it. We have cleaned the ae82 4ac up and pulled off the fwd engine mounts etc and placed the engine next to my car to compare the engines. We have noticed the carby is different (or has a few variations with hoses etc) and we unsure if the newer one is better? the water pump has slight variation with piping as does the thermostat housing. We figure can just exchange most things over without muc…

I was driving to the shops, and I saw this corolla. sorry about the pic "taken with my phone the badges said "1.5 and Sprinter" and jap writing any one know about this model?

hi all first post so ill introduce myself I'm mick I'm 24 have always driven/worked on commodores (am about to change that) from eastern metro Vic my question to every one is what is the best engine conversion for the old 70's carolla's, conversions is no big deal for me have put all sorts of late model LS1's, INJ 5.0L in early commodores, but i want to build a nice 4cyl turbo daily, and i love the look of the 70's corolla's but have no idea where to start, looked at this: http://www.autotrader.com.au/iteminfo/adnu...subs_Used+Cars_ did all the usual checks, its rough but should be ok, however what are the things to pay particular attention to with the…

Hi, my name is Slim. ;) And I didn't know where to put this. I have a AE82 hatch and would like to know about coil overs if any for this model. I'd prefer a fairly firm ride I would like to put some wheels back on. Any help: This is not technical just would like ideas.

Just been checkin out AJPS and just wondering which ae86 parts will swap into the ke70? I searched the wiki and google but couldnt find much. I'm most interested in suspension and steering. I read that ae86 power steering arms fit the ke70, but there wasnt much detail. Are the ae86 parts stronger than ke70 parts? Is it worth doing?

Found this around the corner from my place thismorning... just had to stop and check it out! Not sure what happened to the driver but no blood inside was a good sign! Was gone this arvo.... probably drove it home :evil: Pulls to the left... alot! ;)

Well, after a big day at work and being busy around home I made my way to Calder park raceway for a look, hoping to catch up with Muller in the process... I missed him by about 10mins! Mind you, it was 9pm! As it was the first event for the year they had a day/night meeting, I tell you what, it made for a great nights viewing. Shat all over sitting on the couch! I must admit, I have fallen in love with the Super Tin Top class! You can pretty much run whatever car you like as long as it has the balls to keep up with the pack! In one race they had 2 Ex glen seaton v8 supercars, a gt40 replica, various rx7's, rotary powered Gemini's, a Porche, a Volvo and a clubman 7…

I want to get a car from northern NSW to canberra can any one help i think the post code is 2470 car is in casino

Just seen again over the last few weeks around 12 more KE55's KE70's some even in 2 door form US shape been taken to Sims metal for crushing. And yes all are around 95% complete, I asked Sims and told too bad so sad. Once they have them that's it. As I work next door to the Canberra one I see all the good stuff, most cars are from Car yards that don't sell with rego and plates still on, what a waste I recon. So to the people who were asking me last time about getting them we now know.

hey everyone, just wondering if anyone knows of anywhere that i can find ke70 bodykits? i saw a front bar on a ke70 a while ago, and i was wondering if it was one of a kind or what? and if there is'nt really a body kit for ke70's what could fit? and old bmw front bar maybe? I don't want anything outrageous just something quite subtle and easily fitted if possible? me and my sister's boyfriend tried on his s13 nismo sideskirts just as a joke to see how they would look,and they fitted perfectly, and suprisingly they looked very nice. :lolcry: just after front and rear bar if possible. any help would be appreciated.

hey there guys I'm just looking for some advice here, if its in the wrong section please let me know, what would be a fair price on some KE30 front and rear bumpers in pretty good condition, as i have been asked to name a price but i don't want to get ripped off, cheers thanks alot guys Harley

After months and months of searching various places for KE10 parts i came up with an original wheel. I think it may be a sprinter or SL or optional sports wheel. Feel free to correct me if i'm wrong. I think it was a very good find and personally not a bad price. I payed for the item and shipping from japan and it arrived here in under a week. The rim is in perfect condition as is the centre but the spokes need some paint.... Anyway tell me what you think. I know a few people around here expect to pay rock bottom for everything, so considering i think its rare-ish what do you think its worth? Thanks.....matt.

so I was driving along yesterday and my back started to ache and I reached down the side of the seat to adjust the lumbar support and realised my car doesn't have one! shock horror... It got me to thinking, what things would you add to your car *wish list* stuff??? ie. little luxuries for me, its the lumbar support!!!! Lesley :)

Just wonder why? I almost lost a thread becuase I though it was in genral mechanical :) How I see it. If you braggin about you motor or dyno figures it goes in 'projects' or if you asking a question goes in mechanical. btw the reason my spelling been really bad of late is that word has stoped workin ergo no spell check...

Hi guys i don't know if this is in the right spot for this kind of thread but here goes anyway. My ke38 wagon has major rust in the drivers side A pillar so much so that it has gone through. when i bought the car it was just two bubbles through the paint but as it needed to get a blue slip inspection etc i decided to see just how much rust there really is so i atacked it with a screw driver prying out the bog and to my discust there was a hole under it. So now i have to decided whether or not to get it fixed by replacing the panel or just simply scrapping the car. I like this car and would love to see it fixed and on the road so that i can drive it around but i have no id…
