^ 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?

My favorite thing is that I rarely have to fix anything on it.

Same! Accept I do anyways lol!

Run 195/40/17's. 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.

Nah, next I'm trying 205/40. 195 would be too skinny. Stock size was 215/45, so I only went one larger.
