Nice grats!

wtf is the point of this post....

Obviously the point is to tell us that he got a new 6gc.. what was the point of your post?

[hongkongnerdboy]

calm down.. hes just saying he got a celica

[vg30dett93]

Wish I could get lucky like you. Its hard to come across a nice GT.

[jason]

^^theres some nice low milage celica's in mint condition in my area. theres about 3 of them that are for sale, only problem is they are asking over 10k for them. but in my opinion its worth it

good luck with the car and glad you are excited about it!!

[6gcboost]

Congrats man, wish u luck with the car!

Hes been here a year and still post the most non usful advise. He has no right to bad talk others.

Id like to see the point of 87 percent of his post.

Im pretty sure we wernt harsh on him when he was new. So enjoy your new celica man.

ok sorry ur all reacting,im meaning he needs to tell us how he got it,post pics,and ask some kind of question..maybe we should start a introduction section on the forums,and wtf does it mean i"haven't been around long enough to make posts like this"???And i know how to post...obviously...

[bizzerk]

o quick question its kinda nubish but since on the back of the car theres not gt emblem or nothing but when i look at the hood of the engine it sais 5sfe 2.2 which is the gt engine can you help me confirm or do you need pics to tell? but i see that theres also a emblem were theres a dragon on it. The owner said it was a st. haha thanks for all the reply guys.=]

[hongkongnerdboy]

2.2 is gt 1.8 is st

[CelicaST_CALI]

that dragon is a (slightly rare)celica emblem,how big is it?haha u got urself a deal if he thought it was an ST,had no business driving it...

[bizzerk]

he told it was a st when i looked on the hood were they have that label that says about the engine model and size i remmber gt were somthing around 2.2 . haha ill confirm it on saturday its in my favorite color as well greeen.

Doesnt mean the hood wasnt grabbed from a GT in the junk yard and repainted. That green is exclusive to the 1997 year celica, as is the dragon badge ... although you can order both of them from the dealer.

[hongkongnerdboy]

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

[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"

ST

GT

[bizzerk]

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..

[GriffGirl]

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 .

[tomazws]

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=[
