 helloI went to see a Toyota Celica GT coupe yesterday and very much going to get it on Saturday, the only thing is they said to check the insurance. I'm 21, etc etc, and the cars an import (i live in UK) the car is a N96 reg when I ask my insurance (Norwich Union) they said the only one that comes up is 98 SS, when you type the reg in, but I know if you dont type the plate/reg in you can get GT which is the one I want, SO if the car is manufactared in 96 and its imported in 98 surely your ment to say 96 for manufacturing?? WHat does SS mean?? how is it different to GT?? Any one any good insurance in UK?? What should I look for or at before buying? thanks hope you can help! -------------------- |

Oi ! get back in yer box..  That info is quoted direct from the JDM brochures matey.. if you read what i posted correctly I made no mention of the BEAMS engine SS3 which does push a lot more power. You are correct in that respect. Remeber JDM cars are tuned higher and run on much better fuel. hence a GT4 in Japan is 250ish bhp, and stock european is lower.. if you care to check the sticky thread on the Gen 6 section of www.celica-club.co.uk there is a lot more information collated by 'Uncle Bob' who is a tyota history buff - and an expert on all the celica models - he's owned pretty one of the gen 1-6 models ! As regards to superstrut suspension.. you are having a laugh - it makes a hell of a difference.. !! It is more complex but all the WRC celica's have it.. it's an option on the ss3 only, and on soem of the gen7's that are imported - believe me having bin out in one - i'd jump at it - it really sticks to the road. the BEAMS ss3 was a very limited run and are as rare as hen's teeth.. the stock ss3 was a 3SGE engine. |
