[MrAyasli]

Hey guys ! I'm 17 from Australia, Sydney.








Recently got the JDM tail lights and I love them !

Now waiting on Wolfie's clear bumper indicators. Then I'll probably look for a set of rims.

I'll keep you guys updated.

Feel free to post up suggestions.

Thanks !

Congratulations! How many miles? Looks clean.

You can usually find JDM tails up for sale here by members quite a lot, but they're also available on eBay.

Thanks!
Its got 86,000kms on it.
Yeah it's pretty clean. The seller said he got it re-sprayed or something, not sure but...
I'll have a look around for the JDM's.

[Spaceli]

Congratulations on your purchase.
Yes, says SwissFerdi, the cheapest and easiest way is to find spare parts on eBay.

Welcome to the site, and your car looks very clean!

I noticed it has the 94-95 front bumper on it though, and your information says '96. Did the previous owner get in a fender bender? Since you said it was resprayed.

[TiGZ461]

Nice pickup man, welcome to the site.

Exactly like mine, cept my car's in piece's right now. Any future performance mods?

[TRD_Ian]

i was thinking the same thing richee when i seen the 3 post spoiler and seen it says 96....id check into that

[richee3]

I don't know if that's something about it being an SX. I'm not sure exactly what the SX is. It might not be anything at all, most likely just a little finder bender and it was cheaper to put that bumper on it than it was to get the facelift bumper. No matter what bumper is on it, this car is still clean!

[MrAyasli]

Hey guys, thanks for the comments.
Yeah I don't like the front bumper as well... look weird.

[TRD_Ian]

well you can kinda see the lil difference in colour, i dont blame you for not liking it man your car is sapose to have a way better bumper on there i think, like richee said tho its supper clean tho

[spolski07]

the owner before you put a prefacelift bumper on your 96 im sorry man

[johnnehh]

Ohhhh. This is a hatch, dude. You can get those JDM tails.

[MrAyasli]

I don't really like my front bumper...

Looks like it's always smiling

lmao!

Are you ok man?




Note: Australian domestic models are SX, SX-R, ZR and in limited numbers WRC GT-Four (Group A Rallye). SX has similar trim to the USDM ST model (poverty pack), SX-R is an upspecced model (possibly just a dealership extras package) and the ZR is the equiv to the USDM GT.

All FWD Celica models sold in Australia have the 2.2L 5S-FE, even the SX. They are all designated ST204.

No 7A-FE, 3S-FE nor 3S-GE resides in an Aussie Celica.


& Yes, That is a facelift car with a pre-facelift bumper (Not as Toyota intended), so someone would have had an accident of some sorts but don't worry, if the repair job was done right it will all hold up very strong as our cars have really good crash support beams.

[95CelicaST]

I don't know, I think I actually prefer the 94-95 pre-facelift bumper. I think the pre-facelift + JDM foglights is far cooler than the 96-99 bumper.


However the Tom's lip is an option, as well as SS-III splitters.... Well maybe I'll grow to like my new bumper...


OP - You can score a set of tail lights from eBay or the Toyota dealer. As for clear side markers I would send a PM to Wolfie. He makes clear lenses for your pre-facelift turn signals, and I think he also does clear Euro/JDM side indicator lenses.

[enderswift]

lol kavy is clearly drunk.

nice lookin ride you got there. which engine do you have in it?

[kavy]

jeezz......................now that was freaky. yeh,mayb i had too much...heh.nah,was having problems with net connection.
ay,so whats the difference between a SX,SX-R and ZR celica in comparison to the 3sge ST202 celica?besides the engine...

[SwissFerdi]

SX has similar trim to the USDM ST model (poverty pack)

Thanks guy.

[MrAyasli]

Thanks guys!


It's a Celica SX
2.2L 5S-FE

Whats the difference with my engine and American 3S-FE's or whatever.

[MrAyasli]

Hey guys, just wanted to confirm with all of you that my car is a 1996 model

BUT it has a pre-face lift bumper and a 3-post spoiler, so yeah. Looks like it may have been damaged or something.

[richee3]

You know, I was actually just thinking about that last night. All of the '96 models were SUPPOSED to have all the updates, but.. I have personally owned a '96 model coupe with the facelift bumper but no skirts and the prefacelift 2 post wing. Both of those could have been because it was a coupe though. One of my brother's friends has a '96 hatch with the facelift bumper and 3 post spoiler, but no skirts like it's supposed to have. 96stgreendemon's car has the prefacelift bumper and spoiler, meaning it's either not a '96 (which the title can't really be wrong about) or else it's just got leftover '94-95 parts. I think Toyota claimed that all the '96 models had updates, but some '96 models got earlier parts. I don't know. Maybe I'm overthinking this.

[GriffGirl]

Maybe just the early 96 models got the preface stuff?
