Real mystery about celicas..., everyone may help solve this Options

[malpaso]

I have found one table with model codes of 6gen celicas, there is also key (for 6gen Celicas) how read this:

example my car: AT200L-BLMSKW

AT200L-BLMSKW
A = "A" engine (7AFE)
S = "S" engine (3SGE, 3SGE, 3SFE, 5SFE)
AT200L-BLMSKW
T = ? (maybe some "Group code" but always letter "T")
AT200L-BLMSKW
20 = 6th generation
AT200L-BLMSKW
0 = Euro/US 1.8
2 = SS-I/SS-II/SS-III/Euro 2.0
3 = SS-I FWS
4 = US/Aus/Can 2.2
5 = JDM/Euro/Aus GT-four
AT200L-BLMSKW
non-JDM
L = LHD
R = RHD
JDM (always RHD)
C = convertible
(empty place) = liftback
AT200L-BLMSKW
B = ? (maybe "Celica" but always letter "B")
AT200L-BLMSKW
L = liftback
C = coupe
K = convertible
AT200L-BLMSKW
M = MTM
P = ATM
AT200L-BLMSKW
non-JDM
S = ST
G = GT
JDM
(empty place)
AT200L-BLMSKW
KW = Euro 1.8
FW = Euro 2.0/Euro CV 2.0
ZW = Euro GT-four
GK = SS-I
VF = SS-II/JDM CV
ZF = SS-III
VZ = JDM GT-four
KA = all USDM
KK = all Canadian
KQ = all Australian
(sorry I don't have any Australian one examples... thanks CelicaZR)

Now... can someone (more the better) here post your model code plus info like:
2.2, GT-S, coupe, Canada
or
2.2, SX, hatchback, Australia?

You know I just want solve one big mystery for me... I belive someone of you with GTs will find code like this: ST204L-BLPSKA => for me is that "ST" celica with 5SFE engine???... How is that possible? Is that one code for our "GT" and code ST204L-BLPGKA for GT-S?. Just late models of Celica has ST grade... (97-99) and none of them is labeled "GT-S"... that's what I know so far

EDIT: If anyone don't know where find "model number" post first 9 characters from jour VIN code. example = JT164ATL0, or JT2AN00L, or JT2ST07F... from this I can decode model number too... thanks.

EDIT II: Thanks saleeka, your response match perfectly (according to data from EPC I have)...

The reason as to why you think that there are 2.2 5S-FE ST's in our market is because after the sales year 97 in the US, Toyota stripped the model lineup of model grade names completely, and ALL Celicas were then 5S-FE powered (and there were no GT coupes in 97). However, the interior trims of the old ST and GT still could be had (you had to have certain options in the car to get the "GT" grade seats and door trim). Also, many people don't realize that even though Toyota still put the GT badges on cars made after 97, not once will you see Toyota refer to any of the models as GT's. This is partialy why things get confusing...

AT200L-BLMSKW - the 'B' denotes Celica, the 'T' doesn't stand for Toyota - it is the Toyota code for the platform type - in our case the T denotes Celica or Carina.

BLPSKA and BLPGKA - the letter in italics denotes the trim level.

The last 2 letters signify the engine type and then the destination, so all US Gen6 Celicas are KA

I have an AT200R-BLMSKW so..........

Its an A series engined,T platformed,6th generation,1.8 litre engined,right hand drive,Celica, liftback,manual transmission,sports/normal trim, twin cam/EFI economy engine,european car

Phew!

johny, list of all 6gen celica model numbers is included in this topic. Can you find key for all this? I mean can you tell me what letter means "economy engine/twin cam", what mean "european/non european car (or anything)" and what letter is "sport/normal trim" for all market versions???? I have all those informatins from Toyota Electronic Parts Catalog. There are European, Canadian, US and Japan versions included (Just no Australian one, but thanks to CelicaZR I have info about them too) and there is written which model number belongs to GT model or ST model... and all ST models has third letter from back "S" in model number, all GT models has third letter from back "G". What a coincidence isn't it?... So please post that complete key for us from your source. Thanks.

edit: here, my evidence for sceptics (shot from EPC of one "not existing" ST model... ST with 5S-FE engine for US market)
