Hello All, My name is Mitch, I'm 22 a car salesman and qualified boilermaker. Ive owned a total of 6 ke70/ae71's. this will be my first conversion and most work will be completed by myself and a few of my mates(mechanics, auto elecs and fabby's) As you can tell by the heading I'm about to start the long process of building a 1uzfe powered KE70. the 1984 KE70 corolla S with aircon, was purchased for $1,000.00 of an elderly women who went blind and couldnt drive. She purchased it from Shepparton Toyota. where I'm currently employed as a salesman. The 1uzfe and auto cost $1000.00 n is out of a 1991 Toyota Celsior that had 130,000ks on it for when it was pulled from the bay. Ran smooth and the auto engaged perfectly. i plan on installing it in within the next 12 months and it will be driven on the road un-engineered. The motor will be running the standard ecu, it has had the aircon pump and power steering pump removed for a little more free revving. The Auto will eventually be shift kitted and a stally will be added. ill also run a conservative but hi-flowing exhaust. now the delema I am stuck with is what front suspension, brake and steering setup to run, as i want to have adjustability, cost effective replacement n upgrade parts just incase i want too attend track days and drag meets in the near future. I'm thinking of going with an s13 silvia (r31 control arms and r33 stud and brake upgrade) setup modified to suit the ke70. Most of these parts i am having a hard time sourcing.... as I'm trying to buy it as a complete package. Also thinking of going with a nissan r31 setup for the rear end with coil overs (also with r33 brake upgrade and a lsd centre) So this is my project. Alot of work i know. but thats half the fun. Let me know your thoughts and opinions as they would be appreciated...... and if any1 has any of the parts required or knows of some1 please let me know!!!! i currently own and drive a AE71 CS-X manual as my daily i also own; - 1984 KE70 Slant front 5 speed, 1.3 complete car. missing carby and rad - parts car does run minimal rust in rear gaurds i also have alot of spare doors, bonnets, boots, a diff, motor on kframe with all attached steering and suspenion brakes etc.

Hi, I am currently putting a 1uz into my ke70, but I'm stuck with my gearbox choice. Motor will be fairly standard, maybe just an exhaust and tune. It's going to be a cruiser with maybe a little bit of track work if the opportunity arises. Any ideas? Manual, auto, price, strength? All ideas and opinions appreciated. Cheers

Hello All, big time fan, big time lurker, first time Rollaclub post... I'm planning a build for a 1uzfe KE30/TE31 resto-mod project, and wondering what kind of possibilities I would have for IRS, but the Mx-5 subframes seem awfully promising. There are a slew of v8 miatas in america, including a few 1uzfe ones, so there is a TON of info on reinforcing the chassis/upgradedsuspension options. This will be my first build ever, and plan to tackle most of it myself. Anyways, I'm still open to leaf spring options, but no matter what, i will be spending an awful lot of time on the car, and going all out means just what is best for it, so I just want to know if an MX-5 subframes work. I've never seen a pre-1980 irs Corolla, I've spent months on this website among other ones from NZ and USA. So let me know whats up guys! Thanks for listening/reading Lucio
