ScottKE1X Posted July 30, 2005 Report Posted July 30, 2005 the wrecker up the road from me has a ke30 4door with a 308 in it. looks 100% stock from the outside, just lowered at the front (weight) he gets cars like this, chucks v8's in them then sells them off to people for $4000-7000 to drive as daily's :P they all keep the original 3k rego too! he also goes in burnout comps. has a ke35 with a 202 straight 6 a few years back. scott.

Tiger Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 YLDTOY.... seen him in action before on some Summernats vids... pretyy hardcore rolla he's got there :D Anybody got video links to the rotorolla (ex-v8rolla) Paul Cundy's old yello beast? Quote
Super Jamie Posted August 17, 2005 Report Posted August 17, 2005 bah need quicktime i have a movie of the old YLD TOY that i'll post when i get home no idea what happened to it, the plates are on a purple torana now Quote
36VAN Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 sorry folks, this threads a bit old but curious as to whats structual mods all these V8 rolla conversions have had?? I would imagine a V8 would twist a standard body like a coke can, especially a high torque drag car like that yellow kermit rolla.... Quote
Teddy Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 G'day Well, 95% of people that go on about putting big motors into KE's are all talk, 5 post wonders. The 5% that actually go ahead and do it, are the ones that have there heads screwed on, and know what they are doing / or actually go and talk to an engineer about the project, apposed to just relying on a car club forum. Basically, if it was to be done, things like seam welding, roll cages, chassy braces.. etc would be on the agenda. It also depends what use the car has (Drag / Street / DrIfT 1337) And yes, corollas were not build for V8's from new :D Quote
36VAN Posted March 19, 2006 Report Posted March 19, 2006 Hi teddy. already had tech and engineer advise, so I wasn't just relying on this forum lol. Anyway, I was interested in peoples views or opinions from their own experiences with engine swaps with v8's or other high torque donks......... Quote
308_rolla Posted March 20, 2006 Author Report Posted March 20, 2006 (edited) I'm still here and were still goin along with dis we have allmost finished roll caged fitted v8 in and running slicks all round, just need to mount tail shaft and a bit of a tune on everythin Edited March 20, 2006 by 308_rolla Quote
