Huh?? fenders...

[joehernandez]

yeah the fenders,
the body part that is located on top of the front tires.......
where the little orange light is, almost next to the door

[LushLush]

Hmmm... i kind of understand... but i dont know ahh im so clueless lol

[joehernandez]

dont worry, look through the forums to understand the different types of celicas, so you can learn more,
if need anything let me know

[delusionz]

also it's me or you celica has the gt four fenders?

All Japanese 6th Gen Celicas have their oblong indicators behind the wheel arch as opposed to a small rectangle indicator infront of the wheel arch, That's a USDM thing that you're used to joehernandez.

[delusionz]

By the looks of the license plate I'd say you're from Queensland, Australia? Might wanna update your details to atleast include details about your Celica and your location, If you look under your bonnet there will be an aluminum plate which says TOYOTA MOTOR CORPORATION across the top, well underneath that is the model number it will start with E-ST20x-xxxxx, write that down and post the number in this forum and we'll be able to tell you the exact model of your car and engine so you can put it in your details, also on the 4th line on that aluminum plate will have the colour code of your car so you can get the exact name of your paint colour.

Kewl, Enjoy your new Celi, they're awesome huh?

[Euphoria]

hello another aussy! welcome!

[LushLush]

[LushLush]

Vin # is the chassis #.
BLPSK is the colour code from memory

[delusionz]

I can't quite tell for sure but it seems to be a 2.2 litre version equivilent in specs to the USA GT model so I would say it's an Australian Toyota Celica ZR (ST204), BLPSK is part of the model/chassis/trim number I'm guessing it would be E-ST204-BLPSK. All 6gen models I've seen start with BL and then P (auto) or M (manual) and then XX for the trim.

Edit: Vin # is different to chassis #, the chassis is ST2xx, Vin is unique to every single car produced (ie, vehicle identification number), I can't explain it any better than the words the acronym stand for because it's exactly what it is.

[LushLush]

Thanks for working it out for me... but i could of told you it was a 2.2 lol

so.. where abouts does it stand in all the diff models??

[Euphoria]

well there is only 3 models in Australia as far as I know the ST202, ST204, ST204. The ST202 has the 3SGE engine (correct me if I'm wrong) which is a 2.0 litre, this model is usually a convertible and is rare in a coupe. The ST204 which you have is either a SX, SX-R or ZR which are all the same appart the ZR being the top model with cruise control, fog lights and sunroof but all the others can have them as an optional extras, it has a 2.2 litre 5SFE engine with 135hp but the later models have 130hp (96 onwards) I think. The ST205 is the "special" model with the 3SGTE which is a 2.0 litre turbo and has 4wd.

so what you have is the least powerful of them all but has more power than americas ST celica which has a 1.8.

[LushLush]

So.. in other words its ****..

[lubu]

So.. in other words its ****..

Haha tts not ****, its just not very powerful. Check out the stickies, there are things that you can do to improve ur car's preformance & look.

When u have enough $ you can turbo it or you can do the 3SGTE engine conversion. Dont feel down because it isnt as fast as some cars out there, youve made the right choice. The st204 look never gets old, its always as sexy as when it first came out...
