As far as I know, the 3S-GE or the 5S-GE is all we have up here when it comes to 4th and 5th generations. Then we go to the inline 6's. I loved my 3S-GE. I sold the car with 363,000kms on it. It still ran great. The motor seemed bullet proof. I have a 92 GT-S right now with the 5S-GE. But you know, I think the 3S would've beat my 5S from mid to high end. Maybe.....

The Beams is actually my second swap. The first swap I did was a 3S-GE from a Celica ST183 GTR. That was back in 2001. I totally agree with you that they're trouble free. I've never had any problems with it. It has clocked about 250 000 kms. I wanted the Beams only because it was more powerful.
I've never seen a 5S-GE in my country, all we had was the 5S-FE found in the Camrys. Celicas were never brought in to our country by the authorised Toyota dealership. It was only brought in as private imports.
Aolteach, do you still any pix of your 5S-GE ? I'd appreciate it if you could show them to me because I've never seen one before. It's be an eye-opener for for. Thanks.
