Thanks for working on PWR for me, Ian. Seems I've had both an early model, and now a late model with the fixes you sent them.

The late model is much better.



Agreed, remember back in the day I just ordered mine right after IJ sent out to have it fixed and updated.

took a little bit to get mine in but when I did it fit perfectly!

You must have just gotten a defect, i just received mine today and the posts line up fine.........

And no one answered my question, when did the Mishimoto become garbage as people are saying in this thread?

Been said and done. This rad is just a mistake, probably just a problem with quality control.

I spoke with mishimoto and they got a hold of an Employees MA70 Supra and made changes to the Rad, and heater hoses.

If changes were made to their design, than I just had bad luck. I called today and their automated service said that all technical/warranty inquiries should be sent via email, so I just filled out their form on their site. I'm just gonna have to wait and see, thanks everyone for your help.

Very welcome Guys!

It really annoyed me when I got mine at first and started noting the wrongness of it Vs what I paid, the guys at PWR were really good about it though and I understand "shit happens" end result is it's fixed so I'm happy!

I've worked with a few manufacturers on various parts over the years and if you approach them the right way it's to their benefit to make the changes suggested and the end user gets a better product, approach them the wrong way and NOTHING changes.
