No pictures, but pushed the Falkens on the rears and got 19K on them (went too far, actually) so needed replacements. Fronts have another 5-6K worth....

So, ordered replacements but the supplier totally lost them so ended up with Hankook V12 EVOs instead. The quality of the ride improved vastly over the bald rears..... Read decent reviews on the EVOs so will see how they hold up....

Those are the tires I went with, V12 Evos in 245/40 and 275/35/18. Should have them on in a few weeks. Driven plenty of cars with them, great daily tire.

More this weekend, but it's stuff.

Fixed driver's door, so it would open.
Repaired driver's door panel.
Fixed radio (fuse)
Repaired the drive gear for the steering wheel.

The v12 is a good tire for the money. They're great when they're new, but they do start to get louder as you put mileage on them. I have a pair of them in the front on my SC300 and IS250 because I needed a narrow tire for a larger stretch. The shop recommended V12's because they usually run narrower than other brands for the same size. On my SC the tires usually last a few thousand miles before they're trash, but that is due to it being on air and running camber, so the alignment is never in spec. My stock IS250 has about 25k miles on them, and they'll be due for replacement by 30k (the stock dunlops only got about 30k in the front due to the alignment specs from the factory.)

Great looking scs guys!!!
Sorry no build thread my lap top is down, but I was able to cut distributor and my old flat face welding mask to make a low profile cover for my na/t project. Used locktite epoxy to glue them together, it came out ok.
They're not having sex anymore that way
still needs some sanding art painting on it

Swapped doors (twice), swapped lock regulators, removed glass and swapped window regulators, installed a new actuator rod clip, swapped lock sensors, shimmed the hinge to make everything line up properly ... and now the new project car has working windows, locks, and handles! I'll sleep well tonight.
