Love that color

[TRDGT4]

one would think that it was badge here in NZ GS standing for Grand Sport (or something) as for the lights not being changed could be at the build chage over date??? but not to sure on this

[delusionz]

Yeah, I noticed this GS was missing from the car type selection in the my profile controls, aswell as the Curren...

yeah weird, theres a few round my area (you can tell due to facelift body and prefacelift lights)

yeah, they have the US coupe but no JP coupe which is the curren

one thing I would like is that speedo

[TRDGT4]

i'll see if we have any info of what models were NZ new but no promises

[delusionz]

Why not the TRD 300kph speedo?

Theres also SS-I coupe and SS-II coupe I think

[CelicaZR]

I thought it was an aussie model at first (ZR Model)cause it has the 240km, standard a/c control.
Although the ZR didnt have leather seat, but its missing the fog lights.

Its got all the ZR standard option (drivers airbag and passengers airbag, side skirts, polished wheel)

discontinued part

I think all of the Canadian GT's have the 240 speedo. Those shouldn't be that hard to find.

[azian_advanced]

yup but it's kinda stupid to have it when the car can barely even reach 150.. even the st205 with supposedly taller gears and higher redline have dials that go only up to 180kph.

[Sinyk]

Maybe the ST. You are in the prairies! You must have been able to get to at least 160! (until you reach a corner)

pretty much all japanese cars are 180km/h speedo and speed cut (the new ones are now full speed?)


have you manage to dig up any info Clint?

[terbear4god4life]

i got 120 with mine and ran outta road thats mph btw.

now that i think of it.. pretty sure i made 150km/h. maybe even 170. terbear, were u already hitting the rev limiter at 120mph or could you have gone faster if you hadn't run out of road?

Once upon a time there was a red '95 3s-fe powered SS-I which hit 170kph @ 6000 RPM in 4th gear and still had more to go in 5th. Not saying who's it was or what kind of tarmac it did it on

Moral of the story? Don't count out the 5s. (I've never driven a 5s powered car ever, Just the 3s-fe, 3s-ge & 3s-gte but I'm pretty sure it's somewhere between the 3s-fe and 3s-ge)

ST205 tall gears - Yes, the redline is 6800 as opposed to 7000 so the top speed of each gear is still the same as the 3s-ge with s54.

right manage to get more info
