Hello guys!
Call me Kevin. Not too long ago I bought a Ma70 for my first car!
When I was little my older brother who's also a member here owned the same vehicle and grew to like it during the past 5 years being around it. 17 now and saved up enough to find a really good deal.
Anyway meet the wife! I got her for around $1300 Au. The owner took really good care of the car before selling it to me.
Came with a sound system too Yay! AFAIK the sub there he made himself. I was impressed
Came with a Hays guide as well
. Although I've been relying on the TSRM more in the past
The car runs well however the owner suspected the head was going as he noticed the exhaust condensation smoke became more evident as time passed. So he put in some head gasket sealant to bandaid fix it for the time being.... Not bad for an engine that's done over 200kms Hopefully the green coolant that was used in it is a low silicate base otherwise my head is getting eaten away :cry:
Plans
Well seeing how almost original and mint i got it in, maybe a few bit of paint peals but no biggie. I just want to make it reliable till I become full licenced enough to legally drive turbo engines. (Vic road rules are strict so yea)
After seeing the mistakes my brother made with his car when he was alot younger "I'm investing on horse power!" like.. removing air con... stiffer ride and whatever sacrifice of vehicle convenience and comfort. I'm keeping this one daily driver. So no power mods for now... maybe some aesthetics here and there.
I'm pretty familiar with my supra and 7ms and currently working at a mechanic workshop as well as lurking here at the forums reading and learning for a good 3 years. It shouldn't be too much of a hassle for me to work on it.
