Replaced all the coolant lines and thermostat. Includes a lot of time idling while bleeding the coolant. No more coolant drips!

Took the front rotors off again and noticed that the wear since resurfacing them was uneven... found some replacements and the brake vibration is finally gone! Lesson: don't trust your local auto parts shop to resurface rotors.

New rear rotors installed, but didn't solve the vibration... fortunately my oil cooler lines solved the oil leak problem.

The warped rear rotors are too thin to turn, so new rotors are in the mail. With the car in the garage for now, I changed the oil and filter and replaced the oil cooler lines which appear to be the most grievous offenders with regards to leaking oil.

Rebuilt the clutch master cylinder and found that the brake vibration is actually warped rear rotors. Also installed new front and rear motor mounts. I like this solution to torn rubber mounts better than the poly inserts I used in the other MR2.

Turned the front rotors and installed new steering rack bushings, but that did not fix the brake vibration. Pads and calipers looked good, so new rotors may be the solution. Also found that the clutch master cyl. and a couple of coolant lines are leaking; ordered parts and a couple of new engine mounts.

Inflated tires from 30psi to ~40psi. May need to watch for slow leaks.

Installed H4 headlight housings with standard 100/55 bulbs. Much better than stock, but will upgrade the bulbs next time.

Finally aired up these tires. They had been sitting for over 6 months and two of them were below 20psi. Put them all at 34-36psi. Ride is much better now. I wonder how much the extra drag hurt the quarter mile trap speed.

Included a few quarter mile passes. Best time 16.7 seconds at 80.7mph, 2.30s 60ft. Totally stock, no weight reduction, 3/4 tank of gas. Not too bad, just hard to launch. My supercharged car ran consistent 2.0s 60ft times on this same set of tires.
