6G Celicas Forums

I have a little over 100K on my 95 ST and I am seeing about 32MPG mixed highway and city driving.

If and when you go looking, check the body seam inside the door jamb area. If the seam is broken then move on to another. Look into the basics like leaking/burning oil, all power options are in working order, interior is in good shape, how many owners, blah blah blah.

If you get a GT then a 3S-GTE(MR-2 or GT4 engine) would be a lot easier to do. You can use the same motor mounts (if desired).

If you get an ST then you can swap a 4A-GE (Corolla levin) or 4A-GZE (MKI MR-2 Supercharged) and use your motor mounts and trans and all that junk.

Good luck on finding one.

th pralude and 240 are way faster cars.but IMO i think the celica is a nicer car. i turn head and my car is stock no one really has one in my town. the celica are slower. but i love it like a champ

Speed is not important, if I want fast I will take out the stang. I want a car with good looks, gas mileage and reliable. The more I look at it the celica is beautiful. The Preulde has the fun factor it seems, the 200se-r has the pep. The celica seems to have a lil of both and the looks as well. Just as longs as I am on the highway and need to pass someone the car goes and doesnt just sit there that would be fine with me. Until I get the mod bug and start doing things and then before I know it I will have a new motor in there.
