6G Celicas Forums

hi all. i,m new here and new to japanese car ownership too. previously only had italians but now want reliabilty and no rust.

heres my new 94 celica. a 2002 JDM import with superstrut, 2-pot calipers and LSD (along side my nissan primera GT)
its standard apart from a universal cone filter and blocked off resonator box but i have a few plans when funds allow.
starting with clear front indicators, side repeaters, JDM red/clear rears, gold refurbed alloys and square number plates.
then maybe lowered springs and a custom cat-back stainless steel exhaust.

hope you like coz i,m loving it

tidy, but I'm not 100% convinced thats an SS-2 superstrut to be honest, can you taking a closer up shot of the model plate in the engine bay, brakes & front struts

Very clean, i want your enignee.

can i has pics of your brakes

its all a bit dirty and scabby in this department at the moment but you get the idea.
only had it 2 weeks so i,ll be stripping it all soon to clean and re-paint the suspension and brakes satin black and rims gold.

thanks for the welcome and kind comments. ive got a few things to do but i think its a good base car

Oooooh, SSS indeed. Congratulations!

thanks mate.
is this spec quite rare in the states then as most of the JDM imports in the UK seem to have it fitted?

^ah right it is to. you'll be running the rare E56 transmission then too right its a good base car
you could swap to the 6gen celica 6spoke rims like mine if you can find them, they'd look sweet in gold.

whatthe, are you thinking of swapping to a 3sge??

Not available at all here. We don't get the 3S-GE (nor 3rd gen 3S-GTE) either for that matter.

oh right.
in the UK we get the GT which is a 3S-GE but not SSS, 2-pots or LSD as standard. imports usually have this spec and are quite common here. dont you have many japanese imports? i,m guessing they are mainly the US models if you think mine is rare.

Nice car looks the same as my 1st one.

We get NO Jap imports.

why? is it a legal thing?

looks very good and its a dot thing they are lame

you'll find the gearbox code here on the model plate on the firewall in the engine bay
looks like this:

right, it seems to be an E56 so thats the expensive to fix one then?
