Sweet!
Nice car man. Good choice in rim style.
How much did the 7M-GTE conversion cost you all up? I might be doing the same next year...
Great car!

I bought the car after the conversion was done, but before it was engineered (got that done at KCF Rallysport in Kipparing, good place!) It was $7500 all up, with 200,000ish on the clock.

$7500 for an MA70 with a fresh turbo motor is a good deal! Congrats.

I'm not entirely sure how fresh it is, I think he had in in there for a while before selling it. I'm not entirely sure but I think the timing belt needs changing (as I said in my first post) because when I start it up it makes a squeeking sound that goes away pretty quick, and sometimes when I release the accelerator when I'm going pretty slow it drops below idle speed for a few seconds before bringing it's self back up.
Either way I'll get it serviced soon, find out what's going on in the car.

Nice ride Chris. 
That squeak is almost certainly the timing belt or whichever belt goes to the alternator from the crank. I had the same issue on my 3S-GTE before it was tightened up, but it wasn't the timing belt. It was a separate belt. Sounds like yours is just old or loose.
So what do you want to do with it in it's "build-up"?
Cheers.

Well it will be my daily driver (selling the cressida if anyone is interested ) so nothing too extravagent, I hope to have it tuned / powerful enough to eventually run 11-12's down the quater, while still being a comfortable ride.
Maybe learn to do a bit of drifting in it aswell? Either way it's a hell of alot more fun than driving my Cressida.
