Switched from Hankook's that came with the car to Michelin Pilot Sport PS2's. I found the rear's through a reference from my Indie for less than TireRack's advertised price, installed, with tax. Bought the front's from TireRack and had them installed by the same shop for $20 per, with balance.

Wow, what a difference in traction and ride.

Did a quick exhaust swap this morning. Put the BBi back on in 1 hour 20 minutes start to finish. Not bad for an amateur. Missed that sound.

Time for a little maintenance. Removed the front bumper cover to clean out the air inlets. It was obvious they hadn't been cleaned in years, if ever:



Total crap that just dropped into the box before brushing and cleaning:



Should allow recovery of some cooling capacity. Recommended task if you haven't done this.

I need to do this. What was the level of effort to get the front bumper cover removed?

Removed bumper intercoolers and upstream o2 sensors. Took about 1 hour. Got freaking antiseize on one of them. thought it would be ok but I guess not. Drove about 200 miles but code kept coming back. Oh well it was good practice since I just had it all off last week.
