Was looking for a second small car for my wife...

In the end I decided she cqn keep the big one (Skoda Superb) and I bought a '95 ST with 65.000 km on the counter. Pristine condition.
Since then I hardly ever drive in the big family saloon anymore... Even use the Celica for my daily commute.

This is how it looked when I picked it up, original paint and all

Hi

Running a very low mileage 1995 ST. Very happy indeed, and no worries except one.
Even now, barely spring it gets pretty warm in the car and I was wondering if there is a company making a kit to install aircon in a sixth gen..
My car came with the stock ventilation system..
Also I do not really want to spend a fortune on one, since open windows and sunroof do a reasonably decent job smile.gif

Thanks in advance for any advice/pointers

Frank

I get roughly 40 MPG (620 km from tank full to tank empty) or about 7.5 liter/100 km. 7AFE with 70.000 real km on the counter

For an enthousiast car (which is turning into my daily driver real fast) I don't care about fuel consumption. I do care about my driving license though, so the current 116 hp will do me just fine thank you smile.gif
Engine swaps are close to impossible in Belgium due to regulations, so it will stay stock.

Brand new to the forum here, and a brand new Gen 6 owner
Already did post one other question here, when i was searching for the true identity of my car. Found it in the mean time, its an ST smile.gif Thanks for answering that nagging question

Was for sale with 65.000 km on the clock which is suspiciously low for a 19 year old car. Asking price 5500 Euro (bit high for my taste)
Offered 4000 for it and was accepted. It is a sale froma garage, so I get a 12 month warranty on top too smile.gif
Took it to a specialist place where they go through the car with a fine comb. Result, according to the technician it could pass as a new car. Mileage is original.





Have in the mean time added 1000 km to it and still love it. Ok my head hits the sunroof... (my 6ft 4 figure doesnt help) but it drives like a charm. A real analogue car. No ABS, No traction control, no DSG box, ... nothing my previous daily driver (given to my wife now) all had, and guess what, I like it better , a lot better even. Mifght be the old man in me with about 1 million km under the buckle in 16 different caars, but this is the best of them all..

Hope to learn lots about this car on this forum. Not planning to do any mods at all, its just a too clean and straight car

Thanks guys,

Is what I thought. Was sold by the garage as an ST, so all good.
I have in the mean time added 1000 km to its original mileage and love it to bits.
.
Such a pure and simple car when compared to the other household car (Skoda Superb 1.8 TSI, boosted to 210 bhp).
KInda funny when I drove it at night first time. only the dashboard lights up...
No ESP
No ABS
No other silly driver aids. Just me and the car. Soo, that big black lumbering Skoda (although a fantastic family car), now belongs to my wife. I'll drive the Celica, thank you smile.gif

Hi all,

Very new to the Celica. Just bought mine a week ago (65.000 km, 1995)
Totally mint condition, original paint, shiny red car
It is a bit of a confusing car though

Serial/Chassis number starts with AT200, which should mean it is an ST, EU spec (it is a Belgian car, so makes sense)
However it does have disk brakes all around
It runs on factory 15 inch wheels
It has fog lights
It has power windows and central locking
It has a very convincing GT badge on the bootlid

And the "bad" news, it has a 7A-FE engine

I understand that lights, windows and probably wheels could be added as options, but the brakes ?
Question is, was there ever a special series with GT spec, but using the mechanical components of an ST?

Don't misunderstand me, I did buy it as an ST and am very happy indeed with the car, just wondering...
