the top is a 7afe,the bottom is a 5sfe,i think..

[xs94st]

yea..top is 7afe from a Celica ST

bottom is a 5sfe from a Celica GT

[xHiKO]

so the top one is an ST model??? the used dealership posted it as a GT-S model. is that true? or is he trying to rip off the buyer?

[GreenyST204]

here is another 7afe


the 7afe is a 1.8 letter
and never came in a GT or GTS so I belive that he does not know what they have.

It should be on a plate somewhere ???
correct me if Im wrong we dont have and 7afe powerd celicas

well technically gts has st in it lol
probably some dirt bag trying to take advantage of customers
you should get him for false advertisement. as a dealer he should know better.

wow im sooooo happy that i came on here to check what i was getting into.

ill be sure to check out how the engine looks before i get my 6th gen.

[CelicaST_CALI]

ya 1st reply..lol ya thats jsut false advertisement

[xHiKO]

so basically when looking for a GT or GTS model i should make sure that the engine is a 5SFE?

yes that is correct

[CaliJeff]

look on the inner side of the hood, toward the front, it'll say what engine it is when u check it out in person.

[xs94st]

im just wondering..but wtf is up with the 7a in the first picture?? the cruise control n abs system are not where they are supposed to be (that is if it has cruise control/abs in the first place)

i thot that they are supposed to be behind the passenger lowbeam behind the main relay box. in the first picture, neither of them are where they are supposed to be. so im guessin that the GT-S version they are trying to sell doesnt have ABS n has an ST 7afe engine in it. should be here, circled in yellow


When i first bought my car, i thot it was a GT until i opend the engine bay. it wasnt a GT, but an ST with GT badging (even tho the badges are switchd)

so yea..imma jus say DONT buy EITHER of them. this dealer seems shady as hell.

u can also check to see if the car was originally an ST or GT by checking the sticker located near the master cylinder..circled in yellow in this pic

That ST is non cruise control, non ABS. I believe Stef's Celi is the same.

[xs94st]

did they come factory like that? lol i had no idea

[ILuvMyCelica95]

That ST is non cruise control, non ABS. I believe Stef's Celi is the same.

mine too

did they come factory like that? lol i had no idea

yep. I used to look in my bay and try to figure out wtf was missing

[CaliJeff]

gt's 95 and older didnt come with ABS iirc

[808celica]

maybe gts with a st swap?????

[goferris]

maybe gts with a st swap?????

whoever did that musta been smokin crack if that's the case LOL.

[stetsonaw]

maybe gts with a st swap?????

whoever did that musta been smokin crack if that's the case LOL.

maybe they want better mileage

i dont believe there are any GTS 6th gens... and I also believe they are one of the few years there was no gts model. just to clarify that. It seems like everyones saying there are gts models.
