This looks like the one from ebay that cogs organised as a group buy a while back:

I got one but car is not running yet.
 
Ask the people that bought one and see how its performing, I am pretty sure Zmit has been using it for about a year.  It certainly looks very decent quality.
 
Cheers

hey nice car - :)
reading through here I have to agree with just about everythign chase_d has said. :P 
 
I've got enkei rp-01 17s on my car. Love em, I've also done the side bodykit removal back to stock and love it. - the car feels much higher quality without the old kit.
 
I just got my new intercooler too - check out my thread in showroom :)
 
Take Care,
    Haydon

Remember doing coolant in MR2 was a headache - glad I didnt have to do the radiator.
 
Car looks nice, red and white (wheels) actually work well.
 
Sideskirts look a bit out of place though.

Is that one of the mishimoto radiators from america? I have been looking at those on feebay, but with postage nearly doubling the cost have not been so keen.
I guess they take their warranty seriously if they are going to stamp each unit with a serial number.
 
Post up how it goes, it may be the sort of unit that will suit my upcoming 1mz conversion.

Looking good!!  I would get some stainless mesh and attach it behind the bumper aperture to protect the radiator/AC condenser from rocks.  With a low air intake, it tends to cop a bit from rocks.
