finaly got my celica Options

[laff09]

well the engine confirms its gt lets not try to say its not

If by engine hood he meant valve cover then my bads... All I was trying to say was that it seems like an awfully large percentage of deep jewel green celicas are infact STs. Also, not being tagged GT makes me question if the previous owner didn't just snipe another hood from the yard after an accident.

oh, and unless its a vert, I'm going to stick with my hunch. Because I just looked through 79 profiles of 1997 GTs. 3 or 4 were deep jewel green. and they were all verts. I know there is a post on these boards somewhere outlining how many of each Limited Edition there were made. and it also included the # of deep jewel green celicas sold.

Pics of the engine will solve this in like .0003 seconds so I guess we will have to hold our breath until saturday .


EITHER way, nice find. DJG is a very nice color on our cars.


edit: just found this little beaut of info.
"Only 5000 Limited Editions were made, and that was in 1997. Supposedly it was 3500 ST hatchbacks and 1500 GT convertibles. In 1996, they had the 25th anniversary model, which isn't that special. Limited Edition just came with visual upgrades, nothing performance. Enjoy your car though, treat it good, and it will treat you good. -ecaddiction"

thanks for replys yeah the engine looked more liek the gt since i didnt see the 7afe thing on the header when i was looking at the car. =] sorry for tthe nubish stuff =].

[CelicaST_CALI]

well not all 7afe's have that sticker,mine doesn't...look at the exhaust manifold,and the radiator hoses,the GT sits at almost wat looks like an angle..

I'm fairly certain mine's an ST too (at least I was until like 30 seconds ago) and mine doesn't say 7AFE on the valve cover either. My valve cover looks identical to the one in the GT pic but (what the hell is it?) that thing by the firewall that says 2200 in the GT photo looks like the one in the ST pic that says nothing but a small whisper of sloooooowwwwwness

Edit: Here's a pic of a 7AFE w/out the 7AFE label on the valve cover. Pardon it's appearance while I remodel.

You are right. The 5sfe looks like its sitting at an angle due to the exhaust manifold. But the difference that kind of stands out to me would be the intake manifold.

i know i am thats y i said it lol are u gonna take the celica to a shop at all to have them check it out b4 u buy it?

[thespacepanda]

It's really easy. Look at the throttle bodies. Is it flat with nothing on it? Its an ST (7A-FE). Is it round with a 2200 sticker on it? Its a GT (5S-FE).

my dad use to be a celica enthusiast when he had a 77gt celica so from what he told me theres no major problems on the car besides a few chipped paint area were we could fix easily and it needs a good cleaning since its somewhat dirty .

ST

GT

SO CLEAN!!!!!!!

[CelicaST_CALI]

ya that GT is jaws,but i forgot about the other one...

[bizzerk]

T.T luckyly i didnt pay him upfront other wise i woulda been left heart broken so the story is today i went there took another good look at the car since this time the sun was out i was able to see the car a lot better. found out that the front and rear had been rebuilt so i left. but then theres this other 95 st at a dealer that i might end up getting if i can get the price that i want.







thats what it looked like.

sorry the images look blurry there from my camera on my phone. im so dissapointed=[
