For those of you who have AWD Conversions, Yeah Options

[Random_Stranger]

Search, search, search. What the funk ever. Dude, I can't even find the guy who is selling the bulbs for the freaking speedometer gauges (if you can direct him for me, that would be awesome, unless you know a better way). Anyways, I was wondering if a complete front clip is all I need (as far as parts go), or would I need other things? Was it worth it (money and time wise) in the end? Is there a better way to get more speed out of your celica than just that conversion and swap? Is just the swap more sensible? Bigger engine? What kind? Spit your knowledge for me here, so I have one source to save and always go back to.

Thanks,
Faust

Well, if you turbo your 5S motor you're averaged to get about 240hp with some basic mods i believe.
But expect to pay like 1000 for your parts to turbo the motor, however with that money you can almost get yourself a 3rd gen. 3SGTE motor which comes stock with 255hp or get yourself a 2nd. gen 3sgte motor and swap out the turbine. Those are 13sec motors with basic bolt-on mods and ppl who put more work in it get up to about low 12s/high 11's.
As for the rims, what's your taste because i'm thinking about selling mine. If you want a pic, just PM me--they're silver finish 5 spoke rims--Falcon i believe the name was i'm not sure, came with the car. I'll include it with the Nankang Sport NS-1 tires which still has 50%+ treading left. But yeah let me know.
For the jdm projectors, i still want to get those but they're so damn expensive, but if you get HIDs with them, they'll look amazing!
