what happened to your cool air intake? a bit concerned about puddles or flooding? or what? honestly, I'd be concerned about picking up water.... just curious tho.

I would insulate the rad if I were you, the stock mounts are rubber for this reason. Not sure of the age, but mine was in the car when I bought it, and the leaks appeared after a few 1000 miles.
I picked up a heavy duty mountain bike inner tube, and cut it up to use as an insulating material. It's a nice soft rubber that is about 2mm thick.
happy man today!
my coilovers i purchased off yahoo japan arrived. very happy with the condition, only 1 broken plastic adjuster know which can be easily glued back together
they weigh 4.7 kilos a pop compared to my old tein ha's of 7.8 and 6.3 kilos, so a nifty saving of 9.4 kilos.
unsure if they are going in the daily soarer or the track supra but on th elook out for some swift springs to suit them which would shed another 4kilos total off the coilovers. need to investigate picking the right spring rates first based off the wheel rates so if anyone has good experienc ein this area - speak up. atm they currently have progressive springs if u couldnt tell, not sure what the benefits of them are?? smoother??
anyway - heres some pics. they are aragosta type s (standard)

was trolling ebay yesterday for 355mm rotors to potentially upgrade the front brakes to a larger diameter - thus eliminiating the need to run 5mm spacers (spoke design of rims suit larger brakes) and stumbled across a whole 355 stoptech st-40 BBK for mega cheap. instantly hit the buy it now button so will patiently wait and see if ive been had or if i got a bargain.
btw - fitted the aragostas up and they are awesome bit of gear - highly recomended if any pop up for sale at a reasonable price. i wouldnt be spending 5k retail on a new set unless i was rolling in cash though

AAH ARC Strut Bar! I was in a bidding war on that one you recall seeing with another supramania member. I lost
havent updated this thread in a while....
got stuck in a hail storm about a year ago which covered the car in plenty of speed dimples for greater fuel efficiency.
although it still looks decent from distance, cant justify a full respray so have been contempleting the fate of the soarer eve rsince.
after the storm - i bought a ma70 with immac interior and so far, im about 70% of the way through a lexus v8 conversion so this may end up replacing the soarer.
although the love for the soarer is no longer there, untill i make that final descision im in the process of trying to recoup some cash by slowely returning it back to as stock as possible. as such, i have sold the meisters from the car and curretnly rockign a set of work equip o1s which i bought for the supra (with plans to add wider outter rings with more dish).
not a very common wheel so thought id share some pics. i rekon they will look mint on my black a70 with an extra inch or 2 dish!

got a defect notice because the front windscreen had a crack from the hail storm. was no way it would ever pass a pit inspection.
will transfer all the brakes etc over to my replacement daily (1uz a70) and try sell off all my 7mgte bits and pieces. going to move away from performance dailies and stick with a comfortable daily and my track hack

Their yearly inspection is worse than our smog checks.
Good luck with your new ride - looks like that 1UZ will be fun.
I always like your MZ20.

No way.. mz20 is so rare, But best of luck with your 1uz, But why not replace the windscreen? I could imagine sourcing one would be difficult, but couldn't be more expensive than funding a mark 3 build?
