QUOTE (SwissFerdi @ Jul 2, 2012 - 4:06 PM)  ^ All of that, whilst I will add that I would like more torque. The seats are fantastic though, the feel is close to that of a Recaro product. The Celica, plainly, gives me what James May would term "the fizz," and that's why I like it. What tire size are you running?

That's the recommended for a 17" wheel. 225 is HUGE. I noticed a large loss when I went from 205/40/17 to 215/45/17... so I can't imagine how bad yours must feel in the torque aspect. I'm going back to 205/40 ASAP. -------------------- 1994 Toyota Celica GT-S 5S-FE 190k Miles. Project car 1992 Toyota Celica GT 5S-FE 170k Miles.

Nah, next I'm trying 205/40. 195 would be too skinny. Stock size was 215/45, so I only went one larger. -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]

My ride is comfy now, but adversely too cushy from a performance perspective. I used to read about complaints concerning noise and harshness from 40-series tires, but I'm thinking those were just conservative opinions - I for one don't really care if a bit of excess noise is present, that's what the volume button is for. -------------------- '97 ST \ Eibach \ KYB \ Kenwood \ Alpine \ Cusco \ OEM+ [sold 10/18]
