MA61 Part Numbers & General Infomation

[Daymoe]

Sorry for a noob question, but will the strut bar (front and rear) for ma61 fit my ra63?

[CrUZida]

No, sorry.
Almost everything from the firewall forward on the 2 cars is not interchangeable.

But if you have front and rear strut braces for an MA61 I'll happily buy them off you

[Daymoe]

No dont have any, but looking at making some myself, from scratch. Will post a guide if i get around to doing it.

[CrUZida]

Further to what I said yesterday (wasn't really thinking), the rear brace will be interchangeable between the two.
Not 100% sure if it would be the same between solid axle cars and IRS cars, but all IRS xA6x's will be the same.

Have a search on these forums. There have been a few threads in the past about making custom braces for the MA61.

[ViPeR_NiPPleX]

depends where the rear brace mounts, if its between the shock towers in the back... the ra60 doesnt have em, although if you used the rear seat lock thingos... they are the same.

[Stefan]

Also, a 2-point front strut tower brace would be somewhat interchangeable between xA6x Celica and xA6x Supra - the bolt pattern is the same, just rotated ~60*.

So if you are thinking of selling, make a bunch then drill bolt holes to suit application. If u are thinking of buying from one to suit another, redrill bolt holes.

Commonwhore parts in an MA61!!! Oh god no!

EDIT: I'll post my brake part numbers and shock part numbers when I get them. Apparently my mate has ordered koni yellows for an MA61, not mr2 ones so should be interesting.

I got Celica shockers up front an RAV4 shockers on my MA61 up back as recommended by Koni Australia...

[RONA]

Rob the part number for the Koni yellows/sports is listed I think in this thread however I think they cost a bit more then $154 bucks a piece .

Not to mention being a commodore shock you should be able to walk up to almost any retailer and they will have them in stock .

I would say its MA61 parts in a commodore

[RObErT_RaTh]

Got the part number for some MA61 tie rod ends made by 'Camelot' TE-641R bought from Repco for $35ea because the gear had to be ordered in.

Rush Shift RN7808 (White Cap W5x Shifter)............................33548 31010 $8.64ea

is this the part to fix a sloppy shifter? if so im aussming its good for a W55?

Also is the cargo area in a MA61 the same as my Ra63 with IRS. The boot are is different to my ra60 due to the IRS. im looking at replaceing all the boot carpets.

[ViPeR_NiPPleX]

The boots are the same, just some ma61s (brown/red) got burgundy colour and some celicas got brown. I believe the black and blue interior colours are the same between the supra and celica.

[Stefan]

Agree with the above post, except that some celcias did have burgandy (seen an optioned-up RA60 with burgandy). Also, the style of the carpet originally equipted with IRS A6 Celicas and A6 Supras was differnt - Celica is plain, supra has 'cargo strips', and i;'s quite likely that the 'bulge' in the carpet for the spare is different between cars with different original wheel widths - but the floorpans are the same.


Let me know if you find somewhere that sells boot carpets - most aftermarket places that do the fronts don't d othe hatch.
