Celica ST202, Info thread Options

[Rusty]

This is a Information thread about the simalarites and the differences between them all. (not about the ST205 GT-4)

This is about the JDM ST202 and 4WS(ST203) series: SS-I SS-II SS-III and the Convertible.

1st part (JDM only) This is a code for which emissions regulations the car conforms to in Japan. Usually E.

Middle part This starts with one or two characters denoting the engine series. (All SS-I SS-II SS-III celicas are a S [3S-FE or 3S-GE])

Next is the chassis code. All RWD Celicas are A and FWD Celicas are T, which is then followed by a series number.

Gen1=A2, gen2=A4, gen3=A6, gen4=T16, gen5=T18, gen6=T20, gen7=T23

A further number indicates minor chassis differences. 2 (for All SS-I SS-II SS-III Celicas ) 3 (for SS-I equipped with 4WS)

A final character usually blank (if none applies) or Convertible (C ) or Widebody (H) (JDM only)


Last part contains 5 or 6 letters.


1) Model type, where the chassis is used for more than one model. All Celicas are B.

2) Body style. C=Coupe. L=Liftback. K=Convertible.

3) Transmission. M=5 speed floor mounted manual. P=4 speed floor mounted automatic.

4) Trim level. S=Sports, normal performance. G=Higher grade. V=Luxury sports. Z=High performance.

5) Engine code. Z=Twincam (high performance), EFI, Turbo. F=Twincam, EFI (high performance). K=Twincam, EFI (economy).

*some infomation has been changed to show specific JDM info



In 1994 SS-I and SS-II were released

just dropping by.figure this will answer some questions too.

http://www.cars-directory.net/specs/toyota/celica/

now its back to the pros..

[delusionz]

Feel free to correct anything I've misinformed as it was all off the top of my head,

I've only test driven SS-II's but owned every other model

[Olberj]

Is that a definite on the SS-3's having an LSD?

[delusionz]

Is that a definite on the SS-3's having an LSD?

This has been covered before in this thread.

Only JDM ST202 to have LSD is the Manual SS-III (Of all years) And possibly the 1994 SS-II with Superstrut.

Basically, We've figured that if the Vin Plate lists the Trans/Axel as S54-06D then it's LSD.

There is debate as to Viscous Vs Helical, but as far as I only the only factory Toyota FWD (Not TRD) LSD is Viscous.

To get LSD in a Celica you need the associated parts from either SS-III Manual or an MR2 Turbo (Probably Manual only aswell)
