Finally finished timing belt job. Car started up on first try and runs excellent. Total spent on parts was $177.88 as mentioned, which included a new timing belt, tensioner, valve cover gasket, Japanese oil filter and alternator belt. I also used the project as an excuse to buy an $80 impact gun, $14 crank pulley puller, and a $4 impact extension. Adding oil in (Mobil1 5w-30 full synthetic) the total cost came to $294.51.

Long overdue for timing belt, so I parked it for the time being and started taking it apart. Plan to take my time and replace the timing belt and a few other maintenance items while I'm in there.

Windshield had an expanding crack, along with several scratches and gouges, so I had it replaced. Insurance covered it, but there was some minor surface rust under the seal which cost $90 to repair.

Swapped the race tires back on. Found one of them flat with a screw in it. Not sure how long it has been there since it looked ground down and had a slow leak basically since new. Fortunately my tire guy was able to patch it ($25). 18,130 miles on all seasons at this time. The fronts look hardly worn but the rears are down to about 1/8" tread.

Replaced fog light. Had a bulb left over, so didn't cost anything. Have been driving all week, coolant leak appears to be solved.

Replaced a leaking coolant fitting along with the o-ring and a small coolant hose. A corroded hole in this fitting cause the pinhole leak this summer too. This time I replaced everything, so it shouldn't cause any more trouble.

MR2 has been sitting for a while with a minor coolant leak. Finally found the part to fix it this week, which had been discontinued. Should be here by the weekend.

Discovered that one rear brake pad was wearing unevenly and had worn down to the metal. Ordered new rotors (NAPA) and pads/shims (OEM) as well as new brake/clutch pedal covers and an air filter. Also noticed a leak from a coolant fitting, caused by a corroded pipe which I believe is what caused the coolant leak earlier this year. Fitting is discontinued but I'm trying to source a used one. Ordered the O-ring for that part though, for a grand total of $167.45.

Swapped to all seasons, finally, about 250 miles into tank, making about 13,750 miles on the race tires, which were down to between 1 and 3 mm tread left. The rear all season tires are worn more than I thought though, only about 3mm tread left compared to 8mm on the fronts. Makes it very appealing to get non-staggered tires when you wear out the rears twice as fast as the fronts. In hindsight I definitely wouldn't have gotten 2 full seasons out of the racing tires if I couldn't have rotated them.

Kumho tires have been past the wear bars for a couple months, so will remove them soon. May keep them around for part of next year, and possibly a night of drag racing later this month, but they won't last another season. Total mileage is ~13,000 miles over 2 summers. That includes 54 autocross runs (8 events) last season and 60 runs (7 events) this season for a total of 114 runs and 15 events, two of which I had a co-driver.
