  1. Here is the family car. It's a 2004 ACV36R Camry Sportivo. 2A-ZFE, 5speed. I bought it in July of 2010 for 13k with 120,000kms. It's still mint and still goes well and has 170,000kms on it. Only issues i've had is the plug falling of the master lock and window control on the drivers side causing random self locking. And my son played Tarzan on the rear door handle. Toyota replaced if for 77$. I don't know a great deal about these newfangle horseless carts but I could see some minor mods in the future. Perhaps suspension and minor engine stuff. Any advice would be muchly appreciated. This is the only pic i've got of it for now.

    Toyota Family

  3. I've got some Superlights in the garage but the stick out the guards a little, so once its on the road i'll get them on. It could use some flares though.
  4. Greetings, My name is Gavin. I live in Beaudesert, Qld. I have always been a Toyota enthusiast, Corolla's in particular. I was driving my old man's '74 KE30 3dr when I first got my licence. I then purchased a sky blue '83 KE70. From there I upgraded to a '84 AE71 Spirit and then to a '90 AE92 Seca which now belongs to my sister. I have a '04 Camry Sportivo 5sp as the family car, which I might say serves it's purpose perfectly Now my pride and joy is a '72 KE20 Corolla SE. I purchased the vehicle in August 2010 and have since spent my time restoring and modifying the car. It is some what like an early Corolla hybrid now. The car is a Nov 1972 ADM 2 door sedan, originally willow green in colour. 1166cc 3k 4sp. Akebono front disc brakes and a Borg Warner 4.111 differential. I understand I am the third owner of the vehicle. And might I say it was in a right state when I bought it. After almost 2 years the car is almost ready to hit the road. Here's the makeup. Colour: Blue Star Saffire Wheels: 13x5.5 Cheviot Mesh Engine: Toyota 5K (bored 0.02" to 1566cc) Exaust: Hurricane 4-1 extractors & 2" mandrel bend system with 15" glasspack muffler Driveline: K50 5speed, Exedy Sports Tuff clutch, Shortened KE55 tailshaft & BW 4.11 diff Suspension: Shortened KE20 struts, Boges VW MK1 short stroke inserts, 55mm Kings Springs, 2" lowering blocks, Boges Gas shocks (by Southside Suspension) Brakes: KE70 rotors, Girlock Calipers. 229mm rear drums. Bendix pads. Interior: Reupholstered with black vinyl and 2010 Ford lighting pattern, restractable seatbelts, cut pile carpet, AE92 gear boot, O.B.A steering wheel. Here's some pics.
  5. Hey my name is Gavin. I'm a regular on rollaclub.com and have always been a big Corolla enthusiast. Peace out.
  6. Will make this short and sweet. Had my license 8 years. Owned only Corolla's for that time. Started driving my old man's KE30 coupe in '02. Got my first 1983 KE70 4k 4speed for 400 doi in '03. Upgraded to a 1984 AE71 Spirit 4a-c 5speed for 250 doi in '03. Upgraded again to a 1990 AE92 Seca 4a-fc 5speed for 4000 doi in '05. On 1/8/10 I upgraded to 1972 KE20 SE 3k 4speed, COMPLETELY ORIGINAL for 1500 doi. The best to be had. That's it. That's all. There isn't anymore. PS: My wife and I have owned lasers, an astra and currently a '04 camry sportivo. But lets not talk about them....
