Righto, righto. . . I feel very stupid for asking this question. . .lol. . . but it's been annoying me for the past hour. . .

I know there are aftermarket widebody A70's and they are easily distinguishable. . .

But there were stock widebody A70's hey? ? ? So by my (slightly tipsy) logic that means there were slimline/standard A70's. . . Does anyone have any pictures that show a slim vs the stock widebody? I have to say I haven't noticed any real difference between A70's. . .

Am I drunker than I think? Or is the above factual?. . .

ROFL. . . My next question will be I keep losing coolant but I can't see it anywhere. . .I have a 7m. . . Any ideas what it could be? :cheers:

From memory I think the GA70 is a narrowbody while the MA70, MA71 & JZA70 are all the "wider" body.

yes there was definitely a narrow and wide body from factory. there were more wide then narrow. my GA is a narrow but most people others i've seen are wide. the wide has pumped out front guards and also has rolled out rear guards. as far as im aware thats the only differences.

wide body

They arent rolled, they are an entirely different guard.

But yes generally speaking GA70 = Narrow Body and M/JZA70 = wide body.

When you get them side by side you can see the difference.
