I bought a '90 MA-70 off eBay a couple years back. It was originally built and drifted by an employee of Autoshop Cannonball out of Vancouver. By the time I bought it, it had been through a couple other owners. When I took delivery of the car it was FAR from as represented on eBay. I drove it a couple times, took it to one drift day and overheated the engine (looking back it probably had a BHG) and it spun a bearing. It's been sitting in my garage for 2 years waiting for some TLC. . .
Well, the wait is almost over. For the past couple years I've been spending every dollar I had on my EVO. This year we won 2 nationals Solo2 championships. The car is pretty much done, except for maintenance and a couple upgrades for next year. This means I can start to spend $$ on the Supra and get it back to, and hopefully far surpass it's past glory days.
The engine and full wiring harness needs replaced, as it's a complete mess as later pics will show. The chassis, however is pretty good. It is totally rust free and is all set up for drifting and includes a host of high quality components. Here is what is on the car now as far as I can remember:
- 2.5" HKS IC pipe kit with HKS FMIC
- Koyo radiator
- J-blood body kit
- Tein shocks with pillow ball mounts
- JIC upper adjustable control arms
- Cusco strut tower bars
- Cusco sway bars
- 3" downpipe with Apex'i 3" cat back and test pipe
- Cusco 4-point roll bar
- Momo steering wheel
- Advan Model 5 white pearl wheels, 18x8F, 18x9R
- Yokohama AVS ES100 tires, 225/45/18 and 265/35/18
- Ogura twin disc clutch
- Ogura rear diff
And here is what I have planned to do over the winter:
- strip interior completely
- new rotors and pads
- new 1JZ swap from a JDM front clip
- custom exhaust manifold
- GT35R or 3076 single turbo (haven't decided yet)
- MKIV AEM EMS with jumper harness to plug into 1JZ harness
- Turbosmart eBoost 2 boost controller (same as I run on the EVO)
- any polyurethane suspension bushings I can find
- 1-piece aluminum driveshaft
- carbon hood painted body color
I figure it will probably take $15K or so to get it where I want it. Any feedback or suggestions will be appreciated. I will keep this thread updated with progress throughout this coming winter and spring.
