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!! --------------------  |

About ebay...
I bought my '94 Celica GT stick from Florida with aftermarket 16" Rims and a shortshifter for 5,1k....shipped. The car sold for 4,8k, and the guy knew someone personally who owned their own shipping company...I got the car from Florida (I live in Ohio) to Ohio in 3 days flat and for 300 bucks. Car wasn't rusted or anything, with 107k miles on it...as far as Im concerned it was a great deal...but yea dont exclude ebay...email sellers and ask about shipping, they may have more connections then you know  Good luck man and hope to see you active in our forum soon! Keep us updated -------------------- Speeding is only Illegal...
