celica totaled, back to the drawing boards. Options

[recneps]

so yeah a big mac truck rear ended me yesterday. when i was waiting to turn right. he didnt hit me hard but it sure did **** up the celi. anyways the company handed me a check for $7,500 for the car and what i had put into it. and i was able to get my intake and pully off the car.

but anyways im going to buy another but since ive got a little extra what do you guys think i should do, i figure if i get a celica gt for 5,000 i could look at a 5s-fte which would be awesome. for the rest of the $2,500. and a little extra from work.

so what do you guys think i should do with the money i would love to hear opinions and cost estimates. please no 5s-fe NA suggestions. its not going to cut it.

whoa i forgot about him Edo or Eco or something w/ the built 7AFE. if you did that with a 5SFE and put on a ecu w/ agressive fuel map, CAI, Headers, and Exhaust and are put up to around 200-210hp and probably 220ft lbs., then went turbo after that at around 8psi with a big ole' FMIC you'd be running like 270hp!!! that'd be awesome on a 5SFE you could compete w/ some (or alot) of the 3SGTE swapped gt's on here. and crank it up to 12psi or so an be at nearly 300hp!

wow that'd be crazy, my fact/numbers are probably completly off, lol, but you'd still be way up there, and that'd be sooo bad a**
