Well guys its hard for me to say this but I think its time for me to take a break from 6gc.
There's been a lot of "talk" about the 1mz vs the beams here for awhile and I feel like I'm in a losing fight that I wasn't even trying to have between 2 motors I really like. I remember when I joined it didn't matter what motor you ran or what you done to it everyone respected you for it an would do what they could to help you make you celica better. I feel like we've all lost sight of this an are too focused on trying to say what's best for everyone an the rest isn't worth doing. Not saying I'm never coming back or I'm selling the cars or anything like that. I just think its best to take a break while I want to come back rather than wait till I don't want to. I've met many great people her that I am proud to call my friends celica or no celica. This site has taught me a lot an one day I hope I can do the same for it. I'll probably be back after winter with a whole bunch of updates on the 1mz. If anyone needs me I'm on the 6gc Facebook page. Pm me on Facebook or text me if ya got my number Sorry for the sob story post. Just feel like its something I had to say Thanks for reading Kurt95gt -------------------- 95 gt coupe, v6 swap weekend toy

Kurt dont leave, done give in the the nay sayers, thats what they want. we are members of an elite club. haters are gonna hate. the V6 Vs BEAMS thread is a prime example of what your wife said. they have never ridden in one and have nothing to base it on.
I have never ridden in a BEAMS swap but i have driven a 3S-GTE swap at 18 psi and it freaking hauls ass! you dont need to take a break from the site. This is the internet. it allows for everyone to express their opinion and they do. you cant get upset over what one person says. im certain i have ruffled a few feathers here. -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo

This is the internet. it allows for everyone to express their opinion and they do. you cant get upset over what one person says. im certain i have ruffled a few feathers here. I tend to just head first an heart an soul into things an when people start talking down about it I tend to take it to heart. I'm very proud of my own work. But coming on here an reading I've just built an out of date pos motor that's only good to pull around a soccer moms mini van hurts. I'd expect comment like that on a Honda site but not here. While I'm pretty sure the BEAMS is right for me based on ease of installation, I don't view either as better than the other. It's personal preference. You chose the V6. I support that and can't wait to ride in it. I always liked reading into your progress. It's your decision to stay or leave, but either way, I wish you the best. I wish everyone looked at it this way! Thank you this is the kind of post that use to flood this site! You can bet good money you'll get that ride next year! Your the man ted!! -------------------- 95 gt coupe, v6 swap weekend toy

Sorta like the out of date pos motor that's only good for pulling around a soccer mom's mini SUV or station wagon? ![]() ![]() Both of you are right I should be the one defending the 1mz the most But its hard to stick up for yourself in a 1000/1 fight ![]() Way to forget Smaay and myself. ![]() This post has been edited by Box: Sep 26, 2013 - 2:51 PM -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

QUOTE out of date pos motor that's only good to pull around a soccer moms mini van i dont think anyone has ever come out and said that, if they did and i saw it i would have jumped all in their business. That is a horrible statement to make, yeah so what the 1MZ and 3MZ came in a Sienna, in fact mine came from an 05 Sienna. But ill be happy to go toes to toe with anyone and show them what moms minivan power plant can do. the 2GR came in a camry, and it also comes in a freaking Lotus!!!! so just because the MZ came in a mommy car, doesnt mean it shouldnt get some respect. I have yet to see anyone posting dynos of their swaps like i have. or put as much effort and time in their swaps like WE have I dont know if any other thread with as much information as mine and Kurts -------------------- 2001 Celica GT-S Turbo
