Looking to buy, got questions Options

[Fastbird]

Hey all, new here, looking for some help. I've decided it's time for a new daily driver car, and my fiancee' and I decided on a Gen6 Celica. Reason being, it's nicely designed, sporty, relatively inexpensive, and gets the gas mileage I need. Now......

I've noticed that there is a front and rear fascia change from 1995 to 1996. Were there any other cosmetic exterior changes other than those??

I'm pretty set on the GT liftback model, but then I noticed that the ST model gets MUCH better gas mileage. Are aftermarket parts (like header, exhaust, intake, ect) as readily available for the 7A-FE as they are for the 5S-FE???? I have every intention of putting a full exhaus system and CAI (NO stranger to performance enhancing mods here). I'm not looking to get silly, just a little more grunt that stock and the enhanced gas mileage from a free flowing exhaust always helps.

I keep seeing a lot of 97 ST models listed as "limited edition." Can anyone shed any light on this?

Maintenance isn't a big thing to me. I know it's a Toyota and that it will run forever. I currently have an 89 Celica ST as a daily driver and it's taken almost EVERYTHING I've thrown at it, so I figure a newer one, I can't go wrong.

What has everyone's personal experiences been, and would you prefer a certain year, and why??

Thanks in advance!!

They shouldn't be too hard to install... look for a 6gen on here in the sale forum.... They're reasonably priced because they get flamed most times for asking too much...

Yeah, I've checked. Nothing local for me.

I tell ya, I REALLY want a 96-99 GT with a 5 speed and Fog lights, but I don't think I'm going to find it. I may end up having to settle. Not that it's a huge thing because I do have plans to do a nice non-gaudy body kit, set of rims, some suspension work, ect....but I'd like to start with the strongest base ever.
