Default New tires, and a couple pics

Hey guys, don't spend much time here anymore since I haven't been driving or working on the 5.0 recently. But, it's getting on summer time so out the car comes for a while. My Kumho Ecsta Supra 712's made it about 6300 miles before they had to go, so I swapped them out for Kumho Ecsta MX in 275/40r17 and I'm A LOT happier. I think there's even room to go wider though.

I washed the car up and took a couple of pics.








I've got it down under 3000 now, removed the side skirts and mounting points, removed the speakers finally (no stereo for a year), and I removed the passenger seat too.

Ditch the big wing. There's some weight.
