.....I don't really wanna hear about your 250kg next door neighbour taking a swim in the sea .... :D In 1999, 3 fishermen in a 5.1m boat were fishing at the mouth of Brisbane river when their boat was suddenly towed several hundred metres at speed greater then 10 knots by something submerged which was pulling on the boats 20kg anchor. "The boat spun around in the water like a cork, it flicked the boat like a match box in a bath tub" -John Campbell Witnessed it from The Longtom(a fishing boat) "All I known is that if those guys had been in anything smaller, like a tinny it would have been goodnight" - Department of fisheries representative who witnessed the e…

Hey Every one!! Well, I'm back after a much needed 1 week break down on the goald coast. I thought i would bore yous 2 gether with some highlights of my trip :D We (my family) stayed in a unit on the water front. i had a bedroom which faced and gave me a birds eye view the main road which runs through burley heads. Each night there were drags off the lights, and it was alwyas amusing. 1 time in particular, a suburo liberty turbo sped off from the lights, doing a nice skid, and get this - an under cover cop was right beside him! - so after a obout 50 M of wreckless driving, and swerving between 2 lanes, the coppa pulled him off the road :D :) and all the res…

How great is this image - wish I knew where it was - obviously NSW looking at the plates on the cop car .... looks authentic - wonder how staged it was .... still its a great pic

I was poking around some links tonight and found this little beast http://www.users.tpg.com.au/deonrb/corolla.htm Some pretty impressive power output with 96hp @ rear wheels and a dyno sheet to prove it!

Patient: Toyota 4ac 19 years of age, 520,242kms Time of death: 10:49 Cause: Terminal Headgaskitis Notes: So it finally happened. I was taking an nice cruise out through the back roads of mudgeeraba when i noticed a pinging noise under throttle, looked at the temp guage, "Oh Shit" I believe were the words. Pulled over but it was too late. It had somehow blown the top hose clean off and dumped the entire contents of the radiator onto the road. Stuck the hose back on, called some mates to bring extra water, filled it up and drove it home. Oh well, will probably just replace it with another 4ac for the tme being unless I can find a 16v 4age with loom, ECU and man…

This may become a fairly large thread i think, but just wondering if people want to post pics of past and present rides. Nick may also be able to add them to the gallery from there too. I start by posting a few pics in a minute...Btw in the last 7 years I have in total owned 15 cars.

Just thought i would share some details on my new project. I know it's not a Corolla, but it is Toyota none the less. It's an MZ10 Toyota Soarer, which is being given a new lease on life by adding a 1JZ Twin Turbo engine and 5 speed. Car at this stage will most likely be built primarily for drifting and curcuit work, as well as daily driven. That means roll cage, harnesses, etc. The car.. A little filthy here though The donor half Cut

hello rolla club! Merry christmas to every 1! Cyas as many of u's on satededy :ninja:

Got passed by a green TA22 on the highway this afternoon and noticed a rollaclub sticker on the side. Does anyone know who this is?

Well, this story is pretty rong, but it was a laught at the time, so unless it gets banned from here, i spoze its worth a laugh lol As some of u know, i work at ***** ******! - this is where it took place one mondey arvo a little wile ago. The shop was pretty quiet on that day, which was a good thing. I was told to fill up a box of paper in front of my regester (regi). So, i started doing this slowly. Beside me was a stand of Bread and eggs. Now, about 5 minutes into fixing up the paper, i smet a really, really rong smell wift ova - and i thought... oh no - not the egs - who has knoced 1 ova this time?! - but i couldnt see anthing and i carried on withought though…

Hey guys, Anyone wanna share some driving skills they have learnt over the years??? :blinks: Everything I have learnt is in FWD's, my fave would be lift off oversteer through corners. I'm not a big fan of the handbrake, but apparently somehow it can be used to throw the car through corners? Lately I've been learning and practicing heal and toe and left foot braking. A while ago I had 2 experiences that caught me by surprise, I would like to know what is the best thing to do in the circumstances: Your going through a long sweeping blind corner on a mountain at high speed and you go that fast that the car starts to under steer so you lift your foot of t…

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…

I've just been wondering... is there any plan to set up proper formal memeberships, or is there already? i'd do the deed and pay up if it came to it.. thoughts? matt :blinks:

Hi fellow members, Have a look in Unique Cars 2003 - Spring Edition and you'll see Maxi, my car!! A friend of mine was looking through the mags at the local news agent and said to me "Hey Tom that looks like your car!" I nearly fell over when I saw the photo I took of my car in Malaney early this year. And if you don't believe its mine... check out my website My Webpagebecause thats where Unique Cars had taken the picture from. After all the shock, I was a bit disapointed that Unique Cars didn't ask me if they could use it, but on the other hand who can say their car is featured in a magazine. I wonder if they need a Magazine Photographer? Tom :P P.S: …

So, someone's gotten himself an S12 huh? :P

I've added some new parts most of the links are working... Guys I wanted to run something past you all.... GP Turbo dicussion fourms...
