I'm thinking of setting up a ke70 drift car and was deciding on what motors to use, i did seriously want to run a rotary as i have always wanted one, but the SR20det motor and the 4agze motor have come into consideration. Now the thing is if i decide that the compertition/cost become too great with drift, that i would just turn it into a 1/4 mile car. So i would want to have a motor that i could get high ten second quarter miles out of, thus why i liked the rotary motor idea. But the question is: Could the Sr20det or the 4agze (with turbo rather then super charger) do a 10sec 1/4, in a ke70? Would the costs to acheive this be too high compaired to the ro…

Just a quick one. I picked up the 7k today. I'm in love I will give an up date when its in That should be tomorrow arvo. :D ;) :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Soo is anyone else concerned about the new laws and the ability given to police to determine what is legal? From what I've read there is : Type 1: which is dangerous driving ie; burnouts, drifting, racing, high end speeding etc which have a 2 strike policy. 2 strikes and your car is sold or crushed. Type 1 doesn't concern me, operate your car within the laws and your all good. Type 2 : from what I can tell is illegal modifications. 4 strikes and same outcome I'm mid build on my corolla and I am having evrything engineered along the way. But the look I'm doing is not a sleeper and is along the lines of an aggressive 70's race. This includes wider than s…

Hey guys I'm new here i have been having a problem with my ke70 and its stock 4k, the car will not idle at all even when in neutral to keep it running i have to keep revving it, also when i take off it has no power what so ever barley gets up to 60kms the prevous own told me the manifold gasket needed replacing, makes sense because it sounds like a tractor. What would be the causes of no idle and no power but, could it be a blown engine? no smoke coming out or anything The car is also manual Help is really appreciated thanks :)

hey crew Does anyone have pics of TRD or toyota factory sponsored rally or racecars circa 1980-1990? I'm talking KE70-AE86, RA40 celica or even the later ST series celica gt-fours in full race trim I'm bored with the paintjob on the pig '70 and wanna go full retro-race styles... just for the hell of it. sorta like this thanks guys

Hey does anyone have any flares I could test out on my ke20 too see what they look like? I've got some superlights that hang out the guards a little and I want to see what flares look like. I'm in Adelaide too! Cheers troy

Hey all looking for diffrent bumpers that fit onto ke70 easerly front and back bumpers Cheers

hey guys will putting Extractors on my 4k-c motor in my ke70 give me much more power? what else can i do to get just that bit more out of it?

Hey, I'm having a very hard choice in some new wheels. The 2 I am looking at are, koya ae teks or a ssr mesh copy. Both are same size (15x8) with 0 offset, and same price. Also would I have to do much guard mods to fit them under my guards? With 195/50 tyres on them. Also put a picture of my car on as well.

Just thinking of doing my valve cover but am blank for idea's. anybody on here got some nice jobs done to theres? i got a blank canvas and am ready to explore!

Hey guys for them who don't know I'm building a 2jz ke38 and looking for a radiator that will sit on top of the radiator support crossmember but still clear the bonnet? What items fit well. Perfer alloy style but not worried if eBay style as they work well anyway.

I haven't seen a topic on this, although whenever an engine conversion is talked about its the first thing bought up! Engine weights. So who volunteers to weigh their engine? I used some bathroom scales and an engine crane. (the scales were glass too!) So i will start, please add to this if you can. SR20DET = 120kg This included, cast turbo manifold, flywheel, cas, inlet manifold, fuel, oil in sump. everything except for starter motor and alternator. I imagine a long motor would be under 100kg. Weights I hope you guys can provide. 3,4,5,7K series 4age 3sge ca18 1g anything else you have on your garage floor!

I currently have cut falcon springs in my ke70, about to get it registered and was wondering the risk of them falling out or me being caught with them, has anyone been done for them before?

Does anyone have any dyno-proven power figures for any of their 4AGZE-powered cars? It's just that I've bought myself Lola, a KE55 with a 4AGZE, and I'm wondering about her potential. In the issue 81 of Zoom magazine there is an orange 4AGZE-powered AE86 with 137kW at the rear wheels, which should be equal to about 240-250hp at the flywheel (at a rough guess). Can anyone better this figure?

Whats the official top speed figure for a 4K-C engine, how fast were they rated to go, anyone know an official figure? How fast have you wound your 4K-C out if you have one?

ive just got myself a 4ac ae-71 for free thinking of puttig a 4k or even 5k in it wanting to keep with the corolla eingines as i don't mind em what u guys think are the best engines and why and wats best to mod thanks ae pig

Hi just wondering if any of you are going to Picnic at Hanging Rock car show on Sunday (-2-2014 ) and if so where are you all meeting up and at what time ? as Thomas and myself might try and get along this year as we have missed the last 2. Cheers:- Stuart :wave:

now i know i am going to come across as a noob, but has this actually ever been done? i have searched youtube and the net and haven't found any decent videos or discussions on it. i know that leaf springs are not going to do me any favors but i recently acquired a nice little ke55 as a daily driver, i have owned many ke70/ae71's and they are so easy to modify for drift. i also realise that the main thing i will need is power but i am a big believer in suspension and brakes before power. later on in time i'm going to do a ca18 conversion but until than i want to do as much as i can to make the rear end stiff, what could be done easily? i'm not very familiar with leafs…

Hey Rollaclub This is my first post here so I guess it'd be good form to introduce myself My name is Odin, I live in the Netherlands (or Holland, whichever) and I've owned a '76 KE35 for little over a year now, it's my baby, my pride and beauty Living in the Netherlands does pose some problems parts wise, brake pads, clutch parts are usually not that difficult to find, but the rarer, the more expensive some parts get, I've got the non RS version, so just the 3K-H and K40 gearbox, and pretty much since I've had it, I've been looking for a K50. Recently I was quoted 900 euro for one (1390 AUD), and of course, looking at the for sale ads here makes me sick wit…

Just wondering how much shorter the rb20 gearbox is compared to the sr20 gearbox?? Has anyone measured the rb20 box end to end. thanks~matt

So, because I like to do stuff myself, I'm going to fix my god awful dash. Its going to be pretty much a strip down and rebuild, so my couple of quick questions are: - Who can do vaccuum vinyl application for when I want to put a new cover on it? don't say any auto re-trimmer becasue I don't know any. - Is foam a legal necesity? ie. smacking your head on a fibre glass dash is never fun. I don't think it is, just thought Id ask anyway. - Any tips/tricks to instil on a young apprentice from a master/guru

So I was thinking today, we've got lists and pics of our cars. What about those cars that haunt your past. One you wish you hadn't got rid of. Others your glad to see the back of. These are my pics. I've still got to scan a heap more. Please post yours. Bamboo

Hello all. I have recently inherited a ke70 off my grandfather(with 66xxxkm on the clock!!!) and I am in the process of doing a couple of mods to it. I have just ordered some king springs for her and I'll be doing a carb soon. But wile under the car looking around I noticed all the rubber bushings seemed to be falling apart so I'd like to replace them while I have it up on stands. I have no idea what they're all called though, could someone point me in the direction of what I need and a store I could get them all from? Thanks!

1975 ke 30. is it 114.3 x 4 or 4 x 100 ? please need help so bad haha i hate wheel stuff ;) :D

ʞ©$ɟ it Yolo 2013, Quinn Versus Australia: Better Than Brock I am officially announcing my insanity. Half of my things are packed into boxes, ready to ship out to their new owners. My plans are organized decently already, many ducks are lined up. I have officially lost my marbles. Post and Video #1 of the dumbest thing I have or will have done ever. EVER. http://speedhero.wor...ter-than-brock/ Stay tuned for the for sale thread. I have always kept DK as a part of my life, and this will be no different. Those who are annoyed with my stupidity can continue to be, those who support, thanks! Hello, I'm Quinn, or DiscoQuinn to most. I've been into Coro…

Hey, recently i've been interested in buying a 1980 or so corolla as i'm getting my license soon and the new turbo rule is coming in to play... I have searched everywhere for information on the differences between these models.. Which ones weren't originated in Australia? What model would be the easiest to bolt mods straight onto? What model had the original quad headlights?.. Any information on these models would be very helpful! Thanks!

Hey guys just wondering how i can tell if i have abs brakes. There is no abs light on the dash of my ae92, but i need to order new cv shafts and need the right ones. besides the light is there any other way to easily tell? Thanks

hay guy gals ppls homies ect whats the go with adjustable front strut bars they worth getting and would a ke70 one fit a t18 cheers matt and is it worth getting adjustible panhard rod (for AE86 ke70) for te72 :cool:

Righto so i have a job interview on friday for a full time tyre fitter position. has anyone had experience with this role? I have been told its going to be really hard on my back and just mentally draining. can anyone speak from experience? also it will be on minimum wage, is it worth it? plus i must make the commute from bribie to redcliffe.

I was thinking last night in bed, as usual loosing sleep over my cars problems.... that most mechanics have ripped me off, so maybe some club members who know how to DIY on Rolla's can get together and help each other out on weekends and what not.. so.. meet up and help on each others cars... etc.. I know I can use the help and gain experiance in helping others.. I have guy currently from the states who has a extremely worked 2ete who is after my engine for its 1.5ltr capacity so get can go from his current 250hp to 360hp... but he said if shipping is to exy he won't take it... so if he doesn't want it I'm going to rebuild it and get some experiance with engine…

Hey all, I'm new to this forum and still learning my way around, I've done a few searches and can't really find anything on the topic of ke70 front end swaps. just wondering how hard it would be to swap a ke70 slant front end to a flat one. and what sort of time is involved in the swap. cheers, Dropz.

I have been getting prices and opinions on a decent brake upgrade for my KE30 in anticipation of the 12A being dropped in soon. A bloke on Ausrotary is doing kits to suit Early Corollas, Mazdas etc. and I'm after peoples opinions/thoughts on whether this is worth it, or whether the corona strut converted to coilovers/hilux calipers setup would be the better option. The following is basically what he supplies. He confirms that i wont need to upgrade the master cylinder/booster for the calipers. Its alot of money, but i'm sure they will pull the car up pretty damn well. I'm just concerned that it may be a little bit of overkill. I've been told that the Corona upgra…

Well its come time to sort out some carbs for my 5K. I was thinking of purchasing a Redline Intake Manifold to suit either one or two Weber 40 DCOE carbs. Has anyone seen or used these manifolds - If so, are they any good or worth the money? Weber DCOE's have the same bolt pattern as Dellorto DHLA's from what i've read. (Undecided as yet as to which brand of carb to go with) I'll speak to the bloke tuning my car to see what he reccommends as far as brands and number of carbs anyway.

Hey guys, Before l drive 5 hours to go and pick up this 4age, the seller has told me the engine has 140psi of compression on all 4 cylinders. Is this good or bad as l am not a wizz with this stuff ? Thanks

http://jalopnik.com/...upra-1500153174 http://www.carthrott...lose-your-mind/ That is one damn fine looking automobile. Toyota claims that this new car was designed as part of its “aim of creating cars that connect more deeply with customers on an emotional level and generate a more satisfying ownership experience.”
