This has been claimed before, but nobody has proven there are any chassis's with MA71. They were either mistaken or just disappear before providing proof. We're not talking about the data tag, we're talking about physically stamped letters and numbers that have been painted over.chevyeater-on-sf said:

Mine are "physically stamped letters and numbers that have been painted over" on the firewall in the engine bay.Bishop92T said:
"MA71" ... Not just on my vin data tag in the window .... or anything else ... on the firewall too.
EDIT: I don't really see why chevy or I should have to spend time taking pictures of it and then sizing them so they can be posted. Just take my word for it. IT SAYS MA71 for the chassis code ... on the firewall of my mk3.

Whoa. That would flip me out. I would be so curious about that if I owned that car. Could be all good ... could be some fraud stuff.flubyux2 said:
Have you asked Mazda or anyone else about it? If so what have you gathered?
I guess that it could be some mistake that they felt was necessary to fix in that manner ... I am kinda stumped on that one.

Agreed, I was under the impression all 89+ were MA70 Chasis, I have yet to see one around here that has the MA71 stamped on the passenger side... except mines, but mines is just scotch tape with the number 1 written on it with a SHarpie...<-- honest to god truthma71supraturbo said:

Ma71 signifies the turbo charged version. J after 71 is for targa pre 1990, n afte 71 in the vin means targa 1990 and after.
Ma70 is the no turbo version in the vin.
Ma70 is the no turbo version in the vin.
Humor us, or be prepared for nobody to believe you. I'm not saying that you're lying, just that you may be mistaken, many people have made the mistake. Until I see proof I will not believe anyone. Take the picture, send it to me directly with no cropping, I'll do all the photo imaging and even host it on my website. Taking a picture takes 5 minutes tops.
My turbo and every turbo in our local club say MA70 on the chassis, and we have at least one of every year.

I'll visit my car on Monday and I'll bring the camera. It HAS been a while but I'm pretty sure that is what it says.

What is your problem? Have you EVER seen my firewall? I'm sorry my car is at work 60 miles away. I'm not going there 'till Monday. I'll look at it first thing. If I was mistaken I'll be the first to admit it. I had no idea this was such a kindergarten "naner-naner-poo-poo" type of topic or forum for that matter. Seems awful childish to me. Wanna race? :bootyshakBoostAddctn said:doubts now eh?

chevyeater-on-sf: I didn't get that impression from his post. It's just a lot of people in the past have claimed this and ended up being proven wrong. Eventually it has gotten to the point where people who have seen a LOT of MKIII supras have never seen an MA71 chassis.
