Any changes during 94-99? Options

[Lotus]

So, from 94-99, was there any significant changed made to the interior of the celica? Any changes at all?

[celicaST]

only thing i can think of is the steering wheel, which went from a 4spoke (94-97) to a 3spoke (98-99).

and the 8 speaker system which adds another speaker to your door panels.....

as far as USDM there were no signifigant interior changes, just a few little ones.

the seat sliding handle is different 94-95 and 96+
fog light switch was added to the stalk in the 96+ (option)
wiper stalk was redesigned for 96+
cloth seat patterns changed 96+
dimmer switch (internals/wiring) changed 96+

maybe a few more but that's all I can think of off the top of my head.

it became stock? From what I understand that's the "premium" sound system, and I have it in my '94.

same here. i think it was an option..or maybe limited to some cars..

I thought the 8 speaker system was for Verts only. From what I've read it was added by the same company that did the convertible roof. They added 2 6/1/2's or something between the tweets and bottom door speakers. The stock system was 4 speakers and the premium sound was 6. I have 6 1/2's in rear, 8's in bottom of the doors and tweets inside where the mirror triangle is. Mine is premium sound for '99 so WTF? Also my '95 had premium sound and it was the same except it had a tape deck in addition to the cd player and stock amp.
IDK for sure except on what was on my two cars and the verts i've seen in junkyards had 8 speakers - only ones I've ever seen.

they changed the engines a lil too... the 94-95 st had 110 hp. the 96+ had 105. lucky me, i have the 5 extra ponies. lol

wtf did verts really come with premium systems?

[DSRT-FX]

in my country they also released a special edition celica called the "SX-R" which had leather gear knob and steering wheel. also came with white sport face. -R

Not all convertibles came with the 8 speaker sound system, I have a 97 convertible and it is a 6 speakers.

8-speaker is an option on all GT's. It didn't change at all throughout the years.

only thing i can think of is the steering wheel, which went from a 4spoke (94-97) to a 3spoke (98-99).

This must only apply to the wheels with an airbag or something, because my '94 st has the 3 spoke steering wheel, no airbag.

maybe it is just a USDM thing.

I thought airbags came standard on the celicas...ST or GT or GTS or GT-4. Both Driver and passanger. Because i know Nader has a 94 ST and its got a 4 spoke and its also got dual airbags...same with Paul's (behindthesmile) 94 ST. and they are both canadian spec.

[Tech9ine]

i believe airbags were optional. At least for '94 because mine has none, also, reading my chiltons manual, it says the 3 spoke steering wheel came on all canadian models without an airbag.

[azian_advanced]

there should be 3 types of oem steering wheels afaik:
1. 3-spoke (94-97) without airbags
2. 4-spoke (94-97) with airbags
3. 3-spoke (98-99) with airbags
