diff between 94-99 st205s Options

[coustoe]

anyone know what the differences are between the year models for the gt4 94-99?

I think that from '96 on up, the GT-Fours and SS-IIIs in Japan came with the tail-lights with the clear turn signals and the projector low beams and crystal clear high beams.

If the GT-Four is a 1994 model, then it could be one of the 2500 WRC/Group A models produced. If the car is a WRC model, it will feature a chassis number between ST205-0000001 and ST205-0005000, because half of the first 5000 cars were constructed as WRC cars. These WRC models feature a couple of the parts for antilag(to keep the turbo spinning in between shifts for instance) that are used in the actual rally cars, but are not activated in the cars from the factory due to this feature limiting the life of the turbo and manifold to just hundreds of miles. Also, the WRC models feature three nozzles and some piping in the inside of the front bumper to spray water onto the actual rally car's front mount intercooler to better cool it off. Though all of the parts for the intercooler water spray functionality are present in WRC cars, this is not hooked up.


In all non-JDM GT-Fours built after '96 I believe, and the JDM GT-Four WRC model, the hood has a spoiler on it similar to the one below to prevent the hood from flexing.


That's all that I can think of for now, but I hope it helps a little bit.

also there is no 6th gen in 99 (not in japan)

that is the year that the 7th gen came out.

coomer hit em almost all.

on the non-WRC models the 94-95s did not have foglights or the wing posts. in 96, all the gt4s had foglights added, which coincided with the front end makeover of the normal celica. the 96+ gt4s also had the 3 post wing like the US one if you did not get the optional wing posts.

also, later models had the option of auto climate control (not available in the US) and a nav system.
