Im trying to race legit, I want the st205 wrc all trac gt4, but the only thing i seem to find is half of the car, or the engine.
I came across a full 3sge beams swap, and dont know whats really better. someone tell me about the ss3 beams?
EIther way, i figure the beams is the next best thing, and might even be cheaper. whats your thoughts?

First of all, always go with what you love. No one can hold you back from your goals except yourself. Big goals like obtaining a 3SGTE swapped Celica comes in time. Second of all, if you're trying to race legit, why settle for second best? Thirdly, the Beams engine is a 3SGE motor and was debuted in the SS-3, the black top Beams was debuted in the Toyota Altezza (aka Lexus IS300) in Japan. They output as much hp power as a 1MZFE V6 but torque band is different. It has VVT-i and high compression ratio compared to your standard 3SGE motor. Fourth, Beams motor is pretty much close to your standard naturally aspired motor (7AFE and 5SFE) when modifying. Pretty much bolt on parts. Superchargers are always nice to throw on when it comes down to force induction. But why go that route when you can swap in the 3SGTE motor and have even more potential for the same or less amount of money. Fifth, do what your boots can handle right now and don't stop chasing your goals. It's what makes you who you are.
