gt4 or ss3, Im in love with the gt4, but is the ss3 beams the next best thing? Options

[finalate]

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?

3sge beams motor is great. not even close to a modified 5sfe motor. If your in orange county I can show you the power of a beams motor. SS-III superstrut suspension is great from what i've seen and read, although finding coilovers that suit it are difficult. You can make a custom coilover setup by purchasing hotbits racing coilovers. a replica GT4 will take you longer to build but more power and heavier car. you have to look at it this way. Do I want a fwd celica or a awd celica? N/A is hard to squeeze power out of and turbo is quite easy.

"Smaay", what does the 1mz come from? and is it a bigger block than the gt4? and thanks cookie, thats whati keep trying to tell my parents. one day, you will all see me on tv, so dont forget the name Troy Knipper.
