    Here is an idea, start playing with suspension and save for a decent engine

    He already is doing the suspension. Trouble is with suspension it isn't hard for costs to skyrocket if you go a little over the top.

    I say let him do it and then we can all laugh when it disapoints him and/or goes boom, just as long as there is a video of it .

    I've got RA65 struts, have ordered brakes (but this is about to change due to current ETA), got new front springs ordered, koni yellows are ordered, just gotta wait for the parts to come in now. Then I'll be fixing up the rear with more custom springs and hopefully some more konis. I've got it planned

    EDIT:

    You mean it isn't hard for the costs to skyrocket when you simply rip out the credit card and pay for bolt in stuff?...

    Credit cards pfft, Habib says I pay cash now

    I do believe my setup is still cheaper then Norbie's which he outlines on his site.

    It depends on want Robert wants but by the sounds of things with Koni yellows being mentioned there $1k plus in suspension being spent.

    Come on Robert don't listen to the haters turbo the 5me. Seriously though, I'd get the suspension and brakes done, buy a 2jzge and as money allows get everything needed to fit it.

    Even at under a grand thats still the engine, money wasted is still money that could of been better spent on other things.

    All I have to say is,

    5M-TE + 5psi + timing retard on boost < 5M-GE

    Bollocks to that I say because I'm already making about what a 5MGE makes if not more.

    I don't think that to be true, or even possible without modifcation... my best output was 100rwkw and that motor is now puffing smoke from sad rings.
