Chassis Code Options

[CantTouchThis]

Hey all... Got a Celica 6th Gen for christmas from my fiancee, Think it's an ST, was looking at the bit on this site about Chassis Codes and what they tell you, where is this code on the Celica??

Thanks in advance,
Jennie

Its on the upper half of the firewall.
In this picture, it's the chrome plate just above the intercooler:

The chassis code for USDM Celicas (I believe the plate may be exclusive to ST205s, pictured above, anyway) is stamped into the firewall, right under the seal for the windshield. The ST code is AT200 and the GT code is ST204.

st202 do have that plate too, so i figured st's does as well.
The stamped chassis code is indeed just underneath the windshield

The easiest way to tell is the engine.

The easiest way to tell the engine is by how it sits in the engine bay.

Does it sit straight up with the valve pan (the piece the 4 wires go into the middle of, spaced out every few inches) seeming parallel with the ground?

Or does it lean backwards toward the firewall (the piece of metal that separates the passenger cabin from the engine bay) with the valve pan laying at a backward angle?

If the engine sits straight up, it is the 7AFE 1.8L which comes in the ST (AT200.)

If the engine lays back at a cant, it is the 5SFE 2.2L, which comes in the GT (ST202.)

Fixed.
