Drift's MA70... Now with New Rims!!	Sat, 26 February 2005 03:06

UPDATE:New Rims Further Down Hey All, Well I have been a member for a while, so I thought it was about time to post up some happy snaps of my car. The car has just come back from the painters after I updated the front bar/lights to the newer shape. The car started out its life as an Australian delivered MA70 with the wonderful 7MGE (), but has since been converted to to a 1JZ powered beast using a JZA70-R front cut. Lumpy on this forum is the man to thank for the awesome conversion, which he did when he owned the car. Car came with the following, - 1JZ-GTE Conversion - R154 Gearbox - Blitz Access ECU - 2.5" exhaust - HKS BOV (NOW REMOVED) - Strut brace - Autometer boost gauge Since owning the car I have done a few more changes, - Work VS_XX 17x8 & 17x9 - Momo leather wheel - Greddy Shift Knob - Tein HA coilovers - Upgraded the front to 89+ spec - RDA Slotted rotors and new pads (EBC Green) - Alpine Deck + speakers Parts still to go in that I have sitting at home - Custom dump pipes - D1 SAFC II (test fitted in photo) - 4.11 Torsen Diff Anyway enjoy . Rob. [Updated on: Sun, 11 December 2005 04:52] [Report message to a moderator]

Cheers thanks for the comments, yep I think it is working out well.

Next also I will be updating the rear lights, as soon as I sort out what to do about the moulding differences.

I also have a custom JZA70 style rear spoiler than will replace the current one some time in the future.

Good Luck.

-Todd.

It is lacking on power at the moment due to it running to rich (safc II will fix this), and the exhaust is restricted due to factory dumps but mainly the stock N/A cat.

Last dyno tune only yielded 142.6 RWKW Sad

AFR range from 13.7 @ 58rwkw down to a very rich 10.0 @ 140rwkw Shocked

Must admit wingless can look good, my GA70 was wingless (after I took the horrid GT wing off it came with ). BUT I am a big fan of the JZA70 wing [Report message to a moderator]

Nup car not for drift.. just a street car with maybe some track work in the future. The rear of the car is not to my liking so I avoid taking pics of it... one part of the car I don't like. It is the old style and the mouldings are in bad condition. I have all the updated mouldings, updated rear spoiler, and rear lights from a JZA70, but just need to get the time and money to get them painted. p.s. I will lower it a few mm just for you Matt [Updated on: Mon, 05 December 2005 12:52] [Report message to a moderator]

Very nice.... Any engine bay pics??? I thought about putting my SACF-II there too, but saying as I had a matching AVC-R I decided to pop it above the glovebox, the fit seemes too good to be coincidence! (see "my cars" thread) [Report message to a moderator]
