Hey i just bought a 89' MA71 supra.
Its basically stock, apart from a boost controller (low 5 high 10) boost gauge and turbo timer.
its had a $6000 rebuild 30000kms ago, the car has done 180000kms.
its got 17" mags, bit of a stereo and thats about it, oh and its an AUTO but oh well still sweet.
the paint is in perfect condition, only a few stone chips on the front bar, but other then that its smick as
first mods i wanna do is get a full 3" exhaust, bigger front mount cooler, then a metal HG and some ARP head bolts and then take it from there.
i have pics but i need someone to host them if possible
thanks
let the comments and opinions roll in

Bit of an upgrade over the ae82 twincam, not only in GRUNTINESS, but in class too..
DAMN FINE WORK MAN!!!!
I'll be attempting to steal that too lol!!!
Reckon u could get say 10psi out of low turbo and say 15 out of the high without too much problem??
I reckon u should go for the 3" exhaust and better intercooler as the mods instead of the 5 speed..
What do u guys reckon for Geoff?
3" exhaust and Better intercooler or 5 Speed gearbox!!!

GDay guys,
I to have just picked up a black supra. MA70 - Cherry black, targa top, 7M-GTE(U) pollution stuff gone. full 3" ex. full leather interior, electric seats. (i think the leather is the difference between the MA70 & MA71). Replacing front rotors and pads ($300) and front guard work. came with decent stereo and half decent 16's. Payed $7000 for it, paint is pretty good, and interior excellent. Pics to follow. Anyone owned a similar car for a while? and hints/gripes?
Happy new year
James

Looks Niiiihhhhce. Too bad about the Auto. Thinking of doing a 1JZ or 2JZ upgrade? Can you fit a larger intercooler under there with the standard front bar?
The paintwork looks like it's in AWSOME condition.

Beautiful mate. Looks like new.
My first mod would be to get a manual gearbox. Vital in a sports car I reckon. I passed up a lot of VERY nice ma71's because they were auto.

i would love to convert to manaul, but wont be till a little down the track just yet. Nothing wrong with the auto at the moment
Ryley, yes, you might be seeing it fri night, depends, just got a sms off joel and he said that the EPA might have a defect station set up in town friday night (not that theres anything wrong with my car as i still have the RWC ) but its just the hassel of them really.

yeah, the stock cast dump is pretty resrictive, only about a 2" hole in the bottom of it I think it is so needs replacing quicksmart
Would you believe theres no-one open today that sells 19mm oil resistant hose ffs, how am I to fit the oil return without this I dont know. All I need is like 2" of the stuff too

yeah, I was getting a little frustrated. Dug through my other turbo kits though and found some now so is all good lol. Means I have to get back to work though to get the car going again. Not a huge issue as the AE71 Im driving has absolutely no appeal compared to the Soarer. Actually, it has no appeal regardless of what you compare it to.
