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.

i think my best bet here from what im haering from you guys is rebuild and internals. and then go turbo sounds best to me. just want to put in the fact that i need my car and almost all work would be mechanic done. so yeah ive got to factor that in.

where can i buy forged internals (the crank is forged right?) for the 5s-fe?

also what going to be the difference between the ct26 and a t3/t4?

also with the t3/t4 would i need a custom manifold?
