I really don't know if I have a GT or ST, I can keep up with my friend's 99' Prelude, he has no mods, pretty much factory. I have no mods either. My theory is, that the guy I bought it from got into an accident (which he mentioned of course), and he had to get the trunk replaced, and doing so, it didnt have the GT emblem. So, here is my question.... How do I distinguish between an ST and a GT.

I don't recommend it because it screwed up both my cars when I had it done, but I took it to an auto detailer. They turned on both cars (I had a 2001 Xterra, too) sprayed the engine bay down with degreaser and sprayed it out with the high pressure hose. When I drove away it felt like one of my cylinder's wasn't firing on the Celica. I took it out to the highway, got it up to speed and burned off whatever water was causing the problem, but I was pretty worried. A day later my Xterra started squawking error codes which sucked because I was trying to sell it! I ended up having to pull connectors apart and swab them out with cotton. There was one 02 sensor fault that never quite went away. It stopped turning on the check engine light, but if you plugged a code reader into it it would report it as an intermittent fault. I must admit, both engine bays looked new (mine had broken the 250,000 mile point when I had it done and took that photo) but I think I will just carefully hand clean everything from now on, because there's too much electrical stuff to fry by spraying everything like that.
