After 2 laptops, 2 cables and 8 attempts... I finally figured out how to make techstream work. I would have figured it out with 1 laptop and 1 cable and probably 3 attempts if I realized that the first cable wasn't fully plugging into my OBD2 port when I thought it was.
Working now!

Why Techstream? 1) seatbelt ding, 2)TPMS, which I never figured out and 3) steering calibration, because I had to buy a new one of these:

Time for a Dyno appt. Happy result considering I'm sticking with 92 octane for now.

Results are positive (but secret)
The cool shirt box was finished, the weight added (painted AND clear coated!) and rain tires purchased. I bought the RE71Rs because I was curious about their wet weather performance and I could get them in short notice. The reason for the wet weather curiosity... It's the PNW in April which means rain... always rain.

It's probably time to remove the license plate though..

I was able to do several laps with everything from heavy rain with lots of puddles to a wet-to-drying track. They displace water well and hydroplaning was limited below a certain speed but I feel like they are far away from the wet performance of a Hoosier H2O. I would
not show up to a competitive event in the rain with these. I expect I will be selling them soon.
