Do Hyundai Excel Rims fit onto T-18 (TE72)? Or does anyone know of any black 16's or 17's with a polished lip that fit? cheers.

Since fitting and then making new mounts and then remaking them to suit the car better I have thought would people be interested in buys a complete kit pre made ready to just bolt on the backside of your ke70/ae71 rolla ready for some track work or just to stiffen it up on your way to work Kit would include . Custom made brackets . 19mm sway bar . Link pins . Bushes to suit All you would need to do is unbolt your old piece of wire Toyota called a sway bar and bolt in your new one Reply to this post or pm me if you are interested Possibly could fit for extra if your around melb but will post kits out for postage costs

Hey peeps, I have just done a head on my ke70 wagon's 4kc engine. Not sure what it is yet (could just be a gasket) but it overheated and now I have water in oil. The engine itself has only done 125000kms. I have made a few calls and have been quoted From $400-$1000 for repairs depending on what is needed. I have always dreamt of putting something like a 4age engine into ke70. I'm not really mechanically minded myself and don't really know anyone who does this kind of stuff but I just wanted some advice in this area. Is it worth it? What kind of coin should I expect to fork out to for the conversion, and any other necessary upgrades eg brakes e…

Guys, I need to know the diameter of the 3vz-fe harmonic balancer, so I can work out what size supercharger pulley to use in my KE20. I've actually got a couple of these motors but they are located away from where I am at the moment. Thanks

Can anyone tell me the ratios for a 5 speed corolla gearbox. We run in speedway with a 4 speed in second gear with a 3.9 diff and was wondering if a 5 speed in 3rd gear would be a better option for speed.

Ive been looking for a ke70 in sydney for a few months now and can't seem to find one thats in good nick, low k's manual and so on but i have found one thats pretty much overrated with 100 thou on the clock and the interior is immaculate and has 2 months rego but its auto,theyre only after 1400 and i absolutely hate auto cars so i was just wondering...is a auto to manual conversion expensive? what do i need to do it? and has anyone done it before that can give me some advice thanks :D

hi there any body would give me a hand to tell me how to fit a v6 into my ke30 corolla any help pplz thank you

Tell us your defect stories.

Hey guys. I'm searched the site and google and I can't get a clear answer. The can doesn't even tell you properly. This is what I did last week. Cleaned the area of surface rust then applied the rust converter. I just went to see how it's look and feels. And it's still really soft. And yeah. What do I do once it is applied?? Any help will be greatly appreciated!!!!

Hey i do custom wiring looms at work and i was wondering if peaple want looms done i can do them any motor, any car, any ecu, if you give me mesurements pictures etc of what you want i can make looms for people on rollaclub may be a bit more expensive then narva terminals solder and electrical tape but the quality is the same quality i put into all our racecar looms here is my corolla ke70 loom this is the power and relay loom and runs back to brake lights and fuel pumps http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/52058-supercharged-4k-motec-injection/

So i have been looking around for some sidedraft carbs and am shocked to see how expensive they are. Now i was wondering is it normal for a pair to set you back 1200+? Twin 40 DHLA Dellorto carbs, 40mm Solexes and the Twin 40 DCOM Weber are the ones i have found, is there anything else i can use to get the same result but cheaper? eg: off a alfa or dato or something and use a diff adaptor plate ? Any help would be great cheers

will ae86 coilovers fit onto ke70?

Just giving everyone on the southside of Brisbane a tip.... at the ABC/Parkridge Wreckers, off Station Rd near Marsden, there currently lies a: - blue ke36 wagon with a 4a-c conversion from 3k-h.

KE36 passenger side engine mount, early model door catchs, boot latch, ke20 bonnet stand and bonnet catch, K motor dizzy cap, rotor button and leads all brand spanking new for $50.

Hey there everyone, Well I have been offered a commodore V6 and T5 gearbox for my ke55 with had a auto box in it and was told that the tunel was big enough to fit the T5 Just wondering if anyone has gone ahead with the conversion and just how much work is involved Cheers Scott (me n d boy) :hmm:

Not the end of the argument by a long way, I've seen some other great articles on how to modify suspension for handling, but this guy did a lot of work and won enough races to justify it. The Americans run Autocross, which are longer, faster tracks on tarmac compared to our gymkhanas, but its still around cones and needs all the attributes you would want in a sporty road car. Home page- http://farnorthracing.com/index.html Tech articles- http://farnorthracing.com/tech.html .

i got a 78 rolla I'm trying to stiffing up the suspension i was wondering if someone could help me find what kind of parts i need

ok wtf is everyone doin to get them on i can't get it on there low enough is there a difference to the ke30-55 ones to ke70 aircon mounts??

Hi ke55 owners I am giving you the opportunity to get your rear sway bar upgraded to a 19mm one for you and fitted all for the cost of the parts so around the $60-$70 mark Here's the catch it's for one person and must be around melb and be able to come to my house so I can fit it up for you Pm me if you are interested Thanks Miller

i have a pair of steering arms off my ae86 struts and just wanted to know how long are the power steering version compared to the normal version ? these are around 205mm overall length and have R2 and L1 stamped on them (but I'm guessing that's just the left/right sides)

G'day guys. Just got a few questions just need some opinions. Ive got a ke30 project and I'm about to start sanding it back because it's hail damaged and paint just all up in the shit. Anyways is it worth ripping the interior out now before I paint it as their are some little bits when the door closes on the body that are the body colour if thats makes sense. Or should I just mask it when I paint it? And also I need a new top dash part. It's all cracked. Does anyone know of any wreckers in melbourne. Or infect anywhere. That would have one? Thanks guys. All answers will be appreciated

Hi guys I know it's not a rolla but i'm looking at saving for a set of wheels for the ol falcoon, cause the stockies and hubcaps look grows old over time. So I have chopped a set of ssr professor sp1's onto a falcon like mine and was wondering what people though of the look of them on a NON JAP car I personally love the look of them but need some opinioms on it. If your gonna be like "don't waste the money it's just a falcon"...... GTFO Please feel free to let me know what ya think.... It's either these or ba xr6 wheels :)

I didn't know a 165/35/R17 existed. Fitted to a 17x7 or 8, Couldn't remember.

Hi fellow rollaclubbers, Okey doke, i'll apologise in advance.............sorry for my stupidity! For the life of me i can't remember the name of a rust converter i was recently told. Description of the rust converter is that if you have a lightly pitted/rusted surface (will be using this on a corolla roof) and apply this particular substance its draws out the rust particals imbedded in the metal surface over a period of time (eg. lets say overnight) and once satisfied with the result, just remove by wiping with a cloth. I know it starts with the letter "D". Anyone who can enlighten my retarded mind...........please do so, cheers phatke30!

hey guys, has anyone ever put an RB engine in a corolla? and is it legal? HAH! fooled yas all. no this is not a thread about an RB engine in a corolla, this is about "RB corolla", this racecar i saw out at lakeside raceway on saturday, yesterday, 28th may. thought you K motor nuts would find it interesting. all information can be found here: http://www.johnsredcar.net/ with some very good information, as well as a diary of the restoration. essentially its an awesome open wheeler from the 1970s, running a 3k engine on av gas (10:1 compression apparently), twin carbys apparnetly making around 130hp, and it sounded tough... i had a chat to th…

7x15 ET35, needs spacing but I kinda like the look.. :) I need tires, but my Cressida driver won't start now and the exhaust on my Mk3 Golf 'show car' just tore off down the highway, so I guess a test fit is all you will see right now.. I have too many cars :P Could work yeah?

Got offered $5,000 for car. Spent $6,000 including rego and car cost. what DO? I could sell it for $5,000, and buy a Ke1x wiht it and put my 5K efi setup on it!!! or I could keep my baby?

for shipping purposes :dance:

As it says, does anyone rebuild diffs for a living, or has done in the past? I'd like the actual steps on how to pull out the BorgWarner crown & pinion, replace the bearings and re-set the crown and pinion shims. I know the theory, but I've never done it. This and the gearbox are the two places Rollaclub is lacking in. I've yet ot find someone who can pull a gearbox down, replace what needs replacing and rebuild it. Everyone seems to just swap another one in. A pet projct of mine is to see if we can mate the early-model higher ratio third gear to the later 5speed. That would move third closer to 4th. So if you have detailed technical knowledge.... …
