Finally got the helix dongle after it travel to 6 states. Definitely a big difference once programmed.

Weld repair on a junk K Tuned header.

This is the second time I’ve welded on this thing (first time was to make it fit the K Swapped MR2).

Any pics of said k-swapped MR2?

Videos from a few years ago. It’ll be back soon for a top mount turbo & air to water IC.

The original owner sold it to my buddy who did the K swap.

She's finally got some decent rubber on her; y'all weren't kidding on what a difference these make, especially coming from stock Potenzas.

How are the 225 DWS06 tires on the factory 7.5" wheels in terms of actual width? Wider overall than the original tires? The factory 225/40 Hankooks cause the wheel face to stick out farther than the tire, and I'd like a little extra curb protection (for when other family members drive the car). I know some people put 235s on the factory wheels, but they're technically not rated for 7.5" rims, so I may have trouble getting a shop to mount them around here.

I'd say they're about the same as the stock Bridgestones. Tire Rack specs says the DWS06 have 0.1" narrower tread width which seems negligible. I also was looking for some extra curb protection and was originally planning to go 235 but was talked out of it due to the 7.5" rims technically not being rated for it, as you mentioned. I imagine 235 would be fine (as most people online will say) but for $800 I figured better safe than sorry.

Finally, after years of slopping around in the mud & getting stuff stuck on the hill. The new, and slightly easier Baun Performance Hillclimb Challenge.

Also, I little more patio space

Now next week I get to back fill & plant grass for the 17th time 🫠

It’s literally Play Doh, which I guess is better than rocks, but a far cry from the top soil we had in Ohio

New shoes! Neuspeed RSe122 18x9 that I bought from @Autobahn. Will look better once I get my springs installed.
