Hi all,
Very new to the Celica. Just bought mine a week ago (65.000 km, 1995) Totally mint condition, original paint, shiny red car It is a bit of a confusing car though Serial/Chassis number starts with AT200, which should mean it is an ST, EU spec (it is a Belgian car, so makes sense) However it does have disk brakes all around It runs on factory 15 inch wheels It has fog lights It has power windows and central locking It has a very convincing GT badge on the bootlid And the "bad" news, it has a 7A-FE engine I understand that lights, windows and probably wheels could be added as options, but the brakes ? Question is, was there ever a special series with GT spec, but using the mechanical components of an ST? Don't misunderstand me, I did buy it as an ST and am very happy indeed with the car, just wondering... |

Wow! that's a beautiful car, you got a gem.
...and I am 6' and barely fit into this thing, I have the seat set way back like a gangsta lean. IDK how you fit into this thing at 6'4" but I did the same thing when I bought mine, dude handed me the keys and I got down into it like Oh Sheet this things small, but drove it around the block and knew I had to have it. which reminds me - who knows about seat mods? there's several inches of space below the seat bracket, if we could modify that to get just a couple more inches of head room it would be sweet! -------------------- Bust a Deal; Face the Wheel.
