I bought some NGK spark plugs on ebay and didn't realize that its for the older model Celica (88-89). I was wondering if anyone know if these would fit in the 95 Celica. Thanks
Here's what I bought. A very great deal.

Wait - I'll end this right now [as a former 4th gen owner/enthusiast I think I can end this].
The 4th gen never had a A series motor [3s-fe, 3s-ge and 3s-gte were offered on the various trim levels] and since your profile lists you as an ST and I assume that means you have a 7A-FE - these wires will NOT work. The boot is different as are the wire lengths and for all I know there may be differences in the resistance of the wires, the clips to the cap etc. Furthermore, the 7a doesn't have a coil wire [coil in cap design] so you should notice you are trying to replace a 4 wire set with 5 wire set - what were you gonna do with the extra wire?
Just get the NGK ultimate race class wires for your car [probably overkill but why not? They're not much more] and motor and call it a day.
for future reference: anytime you are replacing a part with a new part, be it OEM or aftermarket, it's a good idea to get the original peice and the replacement peice side by side and compare the way the mount etc to ensure compatibilty. It's just a good practise and I think we've all ordered "direct replacement" parts that were mislabeled or incorrectly identfied w/e. This takes the guess work out of the equation. wink.gif
Hope this helps.

BTW - Had it been S series to S series there still could have been differences in boot length etc. Just buy the right part for the right engine/car.

Its a safety feature so that people like you don't end up killing themselves or everyone around them.
