joeschmo_57 Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 hey folks. I'm new to the rolla world, but a good mate of mine (andy, ae174agze) has slowly convinced me to join. it took a while, but eventually common sense prevailed. i mean come on, weve all tried (and failed) to kill a 4k havent we??? but there is a problem, i don't actually have a rolla. this is a problem that could be easy fixed. I'm looking for a ke70. preferebly with a 4k and a 5 spd. andrew said that he knows of many rolla resting places, but I'm sure theres many he doesnt know of. anyway guys, any help will be greatly appreciated. for the love of rolla's - joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ancullen Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Hi Joe, welcome (again). :cool: Don't know of any KE70/AE71's for sale at the moment. For a 5K, Gregor (Sbox) is the man to talk to. Andrew knows him, and he occassionally logs in on here to say hello. Give him a try, he might be able to hook you up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ancullen Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 It's all good - anything to see another hot Corolla on the roads of Darwin. And I can hook you up with some Borg-Warner diffs if you need (mostly KE55 ones, but the centres can be swapped into KE70/AE71 housings). And I've got HEAPS of 4x114.3 stud pattern wheels if you ever want some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I've got HEAPS of 4x114.3 stud pattern wheels if you ever want some. hmmmmm some wheels and a diff would be appreciated. andy tells me you got some nice supra ones? but i would kind of be getting ahead of myself i recon. i need to start at the start with a shell. preferebly one with a k-series gearbox, a nice borgi LSD, some coilovers, flared gurads aaaaaand a few hotwires for good measure :hmm: . preferebly the shell for free too :D . its a dream. i will be hard pressed to find one from the sounds of it, if none of you guys know of any. but hay, all in good time i guess. andy tells me that there is a cheap way out of buying coilovers. something to do with corona struts.... what do you recon would be the best way to go with a suspension setup? - joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancullen Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Andrew's telling big fibs. :D Fib #1: I've got some Datsun 240Z rims, not Supra ones. I'd LOVE a set of Supra ones, but I wouldn't be selling them. :hmm: Mmm, 14x7.0 goodness. :y: Fib #2: The Corona struts use a larger diameter shock than the Corolla ones. As it's easier to find adjustable shocks to suit this larger diameter strut, they are the ones that get used for coilover conversions. HOWEVER, I wouldn't say that they're cheaper than other coilovers. You can buy D2 AE86 coilvers fairly cheaply, but there is some doubt about the quality. AJPS coilover conversions are meant to be EXCELLENT, so spend the little bit extra (compared to D2's) and get some quality stuff. I've got a K40 gearbox I'm throwing away this Saturday (if it hasn't already gone). If it's still there and you want it, you can have it for nothing. It's been out in the weather though, so it's probably rooted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ancullen Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I didn't see it as selling stuff - it all just seemed to be everyone trying to help Joe find stuff to build a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ae174agze Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 i meant the lower control arm job dato wheels are alright and personally i don’t catalogue the rims that Adams has :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancullen Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 Yep, Corona lower control arms for negative camber. I've got a funny feeling KE30/55 ones are longer than KE70/AE71 ones, Corona ones are longer again, then there's the two types of Sigma arms for even more camber - too much in most cases. And someone really should catalogue my rims - there's SOOO many now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure-SX Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 Pics of the TA22 GT's camber ftw :D If only Danno didn't take the KE70 shell eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
