I went to see a Toyota Celica GT coupe yesterday and very much going to get it on Saturday, the only thing is they said to check the insurance. I'm 21, etc etc, and the cars an import (i live in UK) the car is a N96 reg when I ask my insurance (Norwich Union) they said the only one that comes up is 98 SS, when you type the reg in, but I know if you dont type the plate/reg in you can get GT which is the one I want, SO if the car is manufactared in 96 and its imported in 98 surely your ment to say 96 for manufacturing?? WHat does SS mean?? how is it different to GT?? Any one any good insurance in UK?? What should I look for or at before buying? thanks hope you can help! -------------------- |

Sorry but the info posted are wrong in some degree. Super strut is very usual on import Celis, but even if the car does not have it, you are better off. Reason: Bushings of Super Strut are very sensitive and cost a lot more to replace, but super strut does not really makes that much difference. TTE replaced this system on the race celis because of this. I am of the opinion that the bhp on the SS II is more like 173 and not 177. Furthermore, the SS III info are all wrong as the SS III with the BEAMS VVTi (red)engine has much more power at aroung 200 BHP and much more torque. The SSIII was produced from 1998 onwards. |
