Alright, I have spent many a months and countless nights thinking about what I want to do with my celicas power and have come to a conclusion. I would like to go the route of the 5s-gte hybrid but don't have all the funds needed to go this route now. I really want to go boost and after reading and studying many of the 5s-Fte build-up and the mr2's builds, I decided I will walk this path. One thing that also makes it nice is that if in the future if I want to go the 5s-gte way then I will already have a multitude of the parts on hand for that project. I also have support from my wife as well. The only draw back is that our hvac brokedown and we're having to buy a new one. I do have a bunch of music equipment and other items around the house to sell wich will allow us to be able to pay the hvac off in a few months and begin the fTe build.
Lookout guys! A new 5s-fte is cooming your way this year! -------------------- ![]() CLOSED on 25 acres! -shop coming soon.... |

EDIT: this isint really directed at anyone. just my general point of view on these types of topics. but if you have money to burn, and can afford someone like ChrisK to build you the motor of your dreams, then forget everything i just said.
