anyone know of somewhere that makes them off the shelf or do i have to get custom ones made?

Someone posted a video they did on Sunday on BoostCruising, and it's got me driving Lola!!! Plus it's got a blue Sprinter with 4A-GTE 20v (running 5psi) chasing me down (it never caught me that race :)). IMHO I think Lola sounds WAY better. Find out for yourself: http://media.putfile.com/Hidden-Valley-NT-...-NAMSC-19-03-06 There is also another video of the AE86 from the same race (the very next lap in fact), but Lola doesn't appear. I was actually further in front for some reason (I think the AE86 driver backed off because I was all over the shop), but if I had been in that clip, you would have seen me catch my second drift (not that I was trying to drift). …

How is every1? I have just joined the Rolla Club to hopefully get some help with my newly aquired 20V Silvertop. I bought the car off ebay with the knowledge of the engine being blown up. I'm asuming the conrod has let go and gone through the front of the block but tomorrow I'm going to do an extensive look at it all. Can anybody in NSW (prefferably) or all of Australia supply me with new or used bottom end parts for my engine. All information about the engine would be awesome. Cheers

I clicked reply on a topic and RollaClub just died. Thats all. Couldn't get back onto the site for another 10 minutes... how come that happened? I tried other sites so my internet connection wasn't down... and by rights if Nick was doing something to the forum it shouldn't have stopped it, IP boards don't do that.... Hmmmm.

I'm looking at buying a 5K powered rolla and my plans are to boost it. (supercharge or Turbo). i kno sticking a 5K head on a 4 or 3K will lift comp thru the roof. so if i were to put a 3 or 4k head on a 5k would this lower comp enough to leave the internals alone. And which head out of the 3 or 4K has the biggest/smallest chamber size? CHEERS Ryan

Hey guys, I have been muckin around with my weber's lately as I'm trying to get the van going asap and i have noticed that both carbies have the same numbers, I always thought that they numbers went in series, This is what both carbies have on the top plates: WEBER CARBURATORI MADE IN SPAIN TIPO 40DOCE 151 No 276 4 I take it that this means they are a matching set as there is no other number, No flamage either.

Just wondering what other rolla/toyota related forums are out there i only know a few..... just wanted to no for sourcing parts etc etc etc.... ones i know of rollaclub.com ke70.com ae86drivingclub.com twincam.org so if you no a few more please add

Hey all In process of putting a Rolla back on road. its a '75 KE30 2 door. What emission requirments does it need? Ive Heard of PRE EPA on gemini's, think anything 1975 and under had less strict rules for what engine goes in ect. same for corolla's? Going to a few places today or tommorow to enquire about it and some other stuff. Was thinking would it be hard to pass RWC with a weber and extractors on a 4k? Any insight would be great

Hey Guys, Got a couple of pics from the mothers detailing day. Thought I shared some pics of what I learnt . George is one of those amazing characters that you could just talk too for hours about cars. He really loves what he does and know his sh**t. buddy of mine Matt got the masking tape job on his car to show, with a little advice and short amount of time he can fix his very neglected paint. Some rolla shine after some love.! started off look like this .. clean as it could get.. George the paint care freak getting into it. Wheel and tyre cleaner doing the hard work while we ate our BBQ. New Wheel and tyre.! This is my black…

Does any one know the part number and or the best place to get one in a hurry. Local to Brissy for pick up if possible. Now her shiney white engine block is covered in green coolant.

I was on E-bay the other day and i kept seeing these new small turbo engines. 1.4l turbo Holden Cruze., VW and i think Nissan. Then i thought one of those would go nicely in my ke35. So i looked into it and it turns out the Cruze engine bolts up to a Isuzu rodeo gearbox. https://www.locostusa.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=16446&start=60 There wold be plenty more to figure out but question is has anyone driven a cruise, and how would the engine go in a car 300-400 kg lighter?

Any one know of any good preferably cheap TIG shops, i need to modify my inter-cooler to fit easy infront of the radiator.

3000th Hoon is a Corolla :jamie: Rolla Club does not endorse moronic driving. :no2:

Hey guys I'm having a problem with my steering rack its on a ke26, the stops seem to be too high to lock or the rack is too low to lock, either way its not hitting the stops on both sides, nothing seem to be bent or broken. If any one could shed some light on this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Rollaclub! First of all thanks for having me! My name's Connor, I'm 21 years old and I live on the Sunny Coast of Qld, Australia. This Saturday I am purchasing myself a little 69' Ke10 Corolla with no engine or box and missing a few other parts. It has been a dream of mine for a while now to own one of these and it will be my first ever project car. I hope it to end up as my daily driver. So as a corolla noob, and having only ever doing oil changes and installing a radiator in my stock v6 commo, I'm going to need a lot of help. So my first question is, where should I start? I will have photos up on Saturday. Thanks so much in advance! ~Connor

hey all i was out looking at an set of extractors today and the guy had a ke30 2 door. as u do we started talking about it and he was telling me it has been sitting there or a yr or so. it has a 5k with flat pistons and some head work in it and has been painted, bucket seats, new dash, electric windows, celica diff, and he has put the battery in the boot and more things done.. he was thinking of selling parts off it to try make his money back and he didnt really want to name i price so i was thinking around $1500, $2000 or so as an offer to buy it. can you let me know what you all think thanks

My 13bt conversion in my ke10 has been put on the back burner for 6 months, i am looking for a good runner 4k/5k with a ke30 4 or 5 speed, i could just go buy a ke70 or something for a few hundred but don't really want to have another shell lying around. Has anyone got anything they want to sell? preferably standard compression as i will be running a 12a turbo and su draw through setup on it. Was driving back from springwood before and found myself sitting at the traffic light with 2 other ke10's, one of the guys pulled me over and we had a chat, turns out he has a good diff and a few other parts i need. :D scored! Cheers Scott
