Well guys its hard for me to say this but I think its time for me to take a break from 6gc.
There's been a lot of "talk" about the 1mz vs the beams here for awhile and I feel like I'm in a losing fight that I wasn't even trying to have between 2 motors I really like. I remember when I joined it didn't matter what motor you ran or what you done to it everyone respected you for it an would do what they could to help you make you celica better. I feel like we've all lost sight of this an are too focused on trying to say what's best for everyone an the rest isn't worth doing.
Not saying I'm never coming back or I'm selling the cars or anything like that. I just think its best to take a break while I want to come back rather than wait till I don't want to. I've met many great people her that I am proud to call my friends celica or no celica. This site has taught me a lot an one day I hope I can do the same for it.
I'll probably be back after winter with a whole bunch of updates on the 1mz. If anyone needs me I'm on the 6gc Facebook page. Pm me on Facebook or text me if ya got my number

Sorry for the sob story post. Just feel like its something I had to say
Thanks for reading

Kurt, talk is just talk.
You are the only one who has actually done the 1m swap yourself, that's big.

All the Beams vs V6 talk came because of Justin posting memes on Facebook about how the V6 is sooo much better than a Beams. Keep in mind, he's halfway though his swap at best, basically he's talking out his butt. Then Smaay was adding to it and I disagreed. Trust me, I wanted to put a 1m into my Rav, but I couldn't find a motor I was happy with and after I did the math the Beams was cheaper for me to swap into it.

Don't see all of this as disrespect. I'm very proud of my car and I let you (and other people) hammer on it.
Any opinion I have is just that, an opinion. The best chance I have right now is Justin (lives 2 hours away from me) finishes his swap and he and I put any opinions to fact. I'm dying to drive and feel a V6 in a Celica, I've been almost obsessing about it since the meet. In fact, I've had the itch since K-ESD had tweek do a 3mz swap for him years back. This isn't about you or disrespect. You should be the biggest defender of the 1m, you're one of the few guys on the board that's actually driven one in a Celica.

agree to the letter. you know... I have driven in Celica:
7afe
7afte
3sge (3gen)
3sgte (stock and tuned)
and also Beams

I can compare them. But never any V6. And probably never will...
