[GunnerS]

I am looking at buying a '94 import, it is an SSII, i know about the GT and the ST but being a bit of a new boy i am not sure what spec an SSII is was hoping to find out here- also the milage is 117k and am not sure if that is a good thing to buy into- can anyone offer any advice?

117,000 miles isn't that many for a 3S-GE, which the SS-II has. The 3S-GE is a great engine with solid components and lots of potential.

Make sure the tranny shifts smooth without any grinding. The synchros on Toyota trannies often wear out, causing hard shifts and grinding.

I'm just curious, where are you from?! Since you mentioned GT & ST...

So you mean my car is an SSII??? cool
I've got the 3S-GE engine that came 1994, with 175hp.
I love the car, nice engine but you gotta push it up to 4500rpm before things starts to move.

You won't regret it GunnerS

Mine's the SSII and has a slightly higher spec than the UK GT models (eg. slightly more power, climate control).

As you're in the UK, you could get a good deal of info and, perhaps, join in with some meets at www.celica-club.co.uk
