o.k. here I am, relatively new to the forum, first post. I was working for a vehicle restoration company early last year when I got offered this KE36 for sale, at the time I was 16 and although I was interested garage space at home was lacking, I joined this forumn however in the hope that one day the car would become mine and I could get some ideas, so here I am, year and a half later, about to get my p plates when I get a phone call asking me if I am still interested or she was going to the wreckers, well I couldn't let that happen could I?? $200 + $70 for a tow home and the car was in my possesion! I will try to post regularly as I move on, however garage space is tiny and I am still at school (year 12... Eeek, so time is an issue. Rear Shot? Interior, Magna/Commodore Seats? Roof Racks

Hi All, I drive a beautiful 1975 KE30 2door, running dedicated LPG on the stock motor with a 5speed K50 transmission. Car is a dream and a keeper, bought from a rolla club member Dale AKA doityourself on rollaclub. I have been driving the rolla for a few years now with no problems, runs beautifully and usually won't give me much starting trouble even on cold winter mornings, really reliable and well taken care of car. The praise should go to Dale (doityourself) for his beautiful work on the LPG conversion, custom exhaust and a lot more tlc. After a while the little engine can be a bit tedious and sometimes you itch for a little more excitement and oomf to match the cars personality, so on that note the time has come for a new heart... or engine, whatever you want to call it. The point of this thread really is to find the perfect Engine Conversion for me and my car. I want to make something beautiful, reliable,fairly economical, powerful, but not ridiculous. For the most part I am hoping to have JapaneseMotorsport (South Australia) handle the conversion and upgrades. I do want to one day do a project car at home by myself but this car isn't that project. This rolla is and will be my one and only daily for a long long time, I can't really see myself driving anything else. I want a professional, quality conversion and I don't trust my knowledge and skills enough to dive into an engine conversion at home. Money wise, for now lets just imagine its not an issue (of course it'll be an issue) I just really want intelligent, unique ideas, don't hold back! SO I want to make a final decision as I've been racking my brain looking and thinking about all the different engine swaps that have and haven't been done on the net. I want the overall best engine conversion for my 2door KE30 Corolla bringing these factors into thought: - Daily driver - Power, but will not be racing or drifting, just a little oomf and grunt - Sound and Looks - A big one, I DEFINITELY want to keep running dedicated LPG on the new engine I put in my rolla (don't have much info on how difficult that will be but any info would be appreciated!) - Decent-ish fuel economy - Preferably not turbo So thats about it, hopefully this sparks a good conversation over which is the overall BEST KE30 engine swap for a daily driver just looking for a better performance out of his favourite little car. Any unique conversions would be awesome, would love to do something that hasn't been done but not going to do something just because its different if its not the best choice overall. After all the reading I've done my mind at the moment sways towards a well built 20v 4age running LPG. Sorry for the long read and any dumb questions. Cheers! Joel

Just started doing up my 1988 ae82 corolla. Was completely stock when I got it. Was a gift from parents so hadn't spent a cent on it. Now I've cut the back Springs 100mm. Rode rough as anything. So chucked some tennis balls in the spring now it just rides smooth but bouncy. Going to paint it myself. Did a panel matte black see what it looks like I like it but thinking about doing a dirty white. De badged it. Took the muffler off and it sounded like a dirty thirty. Cutting front Springs tomorrow. Other mods I want to do, a nice set of wheels, thinking about chucking some roof racks and a rear Window spoiler thing like a little lip, some sort of exhaust. When I can figure out how to upload photos I will. Any suggestions for other mods?!

Hey everyone, I am currently 16 in Australia and own a 1991 AE94 corolla. It has a 4A-FE motor and I was wondering what mods I could do to it to make it run better. Don't have much cash so preferably cheapish mods. Cheers

sorry admin if i put this in the wrong section. hey guys new to the whole corolla stuff, i am currently considering swapping my 99 legacy for a 1982 corolla ke70 wagon 4k engine 4 speed manual it needs front mirrors which i have found for $99 brand new, needs new front bumper which i have found for $100 and it has a problem where the indicators don't flash on the outside i was just wandering if this is common and if theres anything else i should look for when viewing the car eg common places for rust, engine noises, anything really cheers

Hey guys, I've been looking around through a few threads and can't quite seem to find the answer I'm Looking for. What I want to do is convert my points ignition to an electronic one, however, in preparation for a future engine build I'm looking at doing it with MSD gear. What I'm looking at are these; http://www.msdignition.com/Products/Coils/Stock_Replacement/8203_-_Blaster_2_Coil_w/Ballast___Hardware.aspx http://www.msdignition.com/Products/Ignitions/Daily_Driver/6425_-_Digital_6AL_Ignition_Control.aspx http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/toyota-3k-4k-5k-corolla-electronic-distributor-ke10-ke20-ke30-ke55-ke70-ke38-k-/111272845830 The car has a Bosch Distributor and changing the points often is giving me the S@#$&, as the car starts to run rough. Looking through jackbyo's write up (http://www.rollaclub.com/board/topic/46089-how-to-install-an-electronic-distributor/) will the same instructions still apply with the gear I'm looking at? And Is there anything I'm overlooking? Excuse the noobness, I was working on EFI dunnydores before making the switch. Cheers in advance

Alright Perth RollaClub we need a better show up of Cars, Toyotas in the park was great yesterday, but I reckon we should get together more often and on the entry form for titp next year have that we represent RollaClub WA. How about we drag the cars out for a Car Cruise? http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/scarborough/activities-hobbies/oldschool-jap-cruise-03-11-13/1028596635 Meet at Scarborough Beach Car Park at 10:30 on November 3rd. Hope to see you guys all there. Perhaps we could get some stickers or something made up so we actually look like a group aha
