Thought I´d share my Celica build with you guys.

Okay the car is 1994 GT-four WRC.
Bought it 4 months ago, and now it has these following improvements:

-HKS EVC boostcontroller
-HKS airfilter
-3" SS Catback-exhaust
-Apexi turbotimer

-Tein S-techs
-Whiteline rear anti-rollbar
-16" Oz Superleggera rims

and then the pics...

i wouldn't go with kumhos simply because they are made in south korea or china.
falkens and toyos are made in japan and they are cheaper.

I am also trying to decide between T1R and FK452. If you google T1R vs. FK452 there are tons of comparisons. Most people who have used both like the FK452s better. They can last over 30,000 miles, very quiet, sidewall is medium stiffness so launching is ok but so is cornering. T1R is nicer looking though. Either one will look more stretched than mine because my Azenis's run wide for their size (7.6" tread width for FK452s vs. 8.0" tread width for Azenis's).

Yeah I heard of Kumhos being done in 10,000 miles with few track-days, and that kinda scared me..
Falkens treadwear is the best of these three I guess..
