Just one pic right now (it's not great). I just picked up the side sill extensions and will get some lowering springs here, too.
I can wholeheartedly say that the jump from 165/65/14 Dunlop Enesaves to 195/50/15 Yokohama S.Drives is the single-handled most dramatic change in wheel/tire performance I've ever felt in nearly 25 years of driving. It totally transformed the car. Can't wait to get springs on it!
Looks nice too!
Nice Dude! Now get the sills on!
Do I detect a Micra parked ahead of you?
Yeah, it's a Yaris. I do wish we got the Micra in the States, however.
I'm waiting for the weather to warm up a bit before doing the sills, as I want the plastic adhesive film to adhere well.

Got a couple of better pics of the MB Revolt wheels and Yokohama S.Drives (195/50/15). Hope to do something about the wheel gap soon. It's absolutely incredible the difference a more high-performance tire makes on these little cars. I'd go as far as to say I've never owned a car in which tires made such a huge difference in performance.
If you're reading this and wondering what your first upgrade to your Mirage should be, it should be wider, stickier tires.
I totally agree. I have 205/50/15 tires and it's crazy how much better the car feels! Feels much more 'grounded' and the car doesn't 'shift' weight as much during turns too.
