after a long (in my eyes) hiatus from June 2012, finally back on the road
So here is the story of my celica. so i dont get to ramble on too much, lets start out with the first picture i took of my car back in 2006 when I got her. the first mod that i did was my JL speakers all around. nothing special. i wasnt too much into the whole 6gc scene until a little bit after. i then stripped the hub caps and started putting every sticker i found on that car! then i had finally gotten into the 6gc scene and started to mod her. first things first, a $70 weapon r intake from a fellow member. needless to say i felt badass installing it seeing as how it was my first mod. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdQKHBZH2yg...re=channel_page after that came exhaust, a nice n\' rare SP1 THEN TRAGEDY STRUCK! i had thrown a rod and my car was up for about 3months, saddest moment ever! after all was said and done, i got a new rebuilt block. the day it was back on the road this is the first pic i took with my new camera Then after not having it for a while i wanted to get her gifts, thus leading us into the... BAD IDEA PHASE end phase then i put on my XS auto headers the NIGHT before i was leaving for my freshman year of college. ended up rushing and cutting to hastily and had a bad exhaust leak. and a lil bit after put heat wrap on the rad tubes also i got one of the limited DCR 3points then after a month or so, my engine quit on me while cruising around pittsburgh. had to tow it back home to the shop the block was built at in philly. ended up being a bad head gasket. then i just started buying stuff while at school and putting it in SPENDING PHASE installing hid\'s in february most up to date interior shot at night most up to date engine shot Got some bars STEELIES PAINTED yellow jdm fogs jdm tails yellow highs MATURING PHASE well i took off all the stickers haha got new rubbers a big shipment auto-x came into my life http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s66yhF5jtVk then she sat for a while, not being modded, she was content THE SCREW YOU GUYS MY CAR IS FINALLY LOWERED PHASE this is how she sits as of now props to art for getting me into this scene the end.....?

yeah ive been checking the forums often looking for used tires
i have a friend that i just talked to that said he can get me tires for really cheap, unfortunatley hoosiers arent under the list. he said tires like Azenis RT-615 and the Advan A048's for about 70 a tire. which is extremely cheap. i would like to build this car to the point where its still a sensible DD -------------------- 1995 GT::::Diffusing the Situation エキサイティングカーレーシングチーム! march 2010 COTM : 6GC feature 2014 : january 2015-2016-2018 COTM |

Thats why im building a Street touring car lol Can your friend get Bridgestones or Kumho's? They both have 2 top of the line extreme performance tires that are amazing on the course. Bridgestone RE-11s i've personally tried this season on my friend's prepped Street touring car, and they are AWSOME! The Kumho's are pretty much the "budget version" of the Bridgestones. Dont get me wrong, Azenis are good, but there's better out there for little to no extra $$$. The yokohama's are yet to be determained how good they are since they arn't out yet, but they are getting really good reviews. tires are a big choice!!! i hope i've given you a little help in your decision. But any tire you get, you make sure it's the right decision for your own reasons, not because someone else says its good. -------------------- 95 Celica ST (currently in Motorsport Purgatory)
