6G Celicas Forums

Hey all,

Hi Ben, yeah I'm based in London so been looking around there...only probs is I definately wanna go for the Celica now but insurance giving me hassle cos my insurance company wont insure me on a GT although another will. I had an accident and am 3/4's of the way through my current policy. If i change I lose my no claims, if i stick with them in March i will get 2 years ncb, insurance on a ST is cheap but wanna get a GT. I really dont know what is the best option. I appreciate all ur guys help tho. What do u guys reckon for a 1.8 st, full spec including leather seats, black, 64,000 miles, n or p reg. 4195?.....am in dilemma, do i get a compromise car like an ST now and get GT in a year or 2 or do i buy a banger and try and get a GT in march :-s....

Cheers for the reply peops.....I have a few cars in mind, the celica, prelude and rover coupe vvc but the one that I really wanna go for is the Celica, its exact to what i want, its rare, a coupe, looks good, quick and sporty and overall a great car...main prob is finding one.....plus with all the imports I want to make sure I get the right one....my budget is in the region of upto 5000 for a decent GT....just dont know a great deal about them...do u guys know if the Gt is a turbo or standard 2.0 NASP engine...if its NASP what makes it the 176 cos its pretty good :-)...I am willing to travel upto 80-100 miles if the car is worth it at the right price but all depends...look forward to speaking to y'all....by the way have u guys got pics of ur cars....

Wassup all,

First and foremost would like to say hey to everyone on the forum. I am very new to this forum and am in need of some desperate advice on the engine specs for the UK, US and Japanese models of the Celica GT (not GT4) and what bhp each are. Im from London, England and these cars are very rare hence we get a lot of imports. The car is definately top of my list as the car I want...great looking cars, great interior spec, but dont know too much about the diiferences in engine.

I think that the american models have 134bhp and the UK is 170 odd bhp but am not sure if this is the case. Also what is the difference in engine if this is the case.

Many thanks in advance for any advice
