29's cutting it fine but youll get away with it for a couple of years before its pipe and slippers time
joking aside jap performance cars can be great reliable cars but usually feel a bit cheap and bland inside. my first few years of performance tuning/modifying in my younger days was in the jap scene with mostly Toyota.
I ended up with the worst of both worlds, the blandness of jap with the reliability of Cosworth in my Cosworth celica
a quick look on ebay shows a 2010 evo 10 with 50k miles and £20G worth of tuning and 500bhp can be had for under £20k. that's a lot of bang for buck.
