Hi all,
Very new to the Celica. Just bought mine a week ago (65.000 km, 1995) Totally mint condition, original paint, shiny red car It is a bit of a confusing car though Serial/Chassis number starts with AT200, which should mean it is an ST, EU spec (it is a Belgian car, so makes sense) However it does have disk brakes all around It runs on factory 15 inch wheels It has fog lights It has power windows and central locking It has a very convincing GT badge on the bootlid And the "bad" news, it has a 7A-FE engine I understand that lights, windows and probably wheels could be added as options, but the brakes ? Question is, was there ever a special series with GT spec, but using the mechanical components of an ST? Don't misunderstand me, I did buy it as an ST and am very happy indeed with the car, just wondering... |

I'm a relative noob, and know next to nothing about 6 gens so far, but mine is an ST, UK-market car, and it's discs all round, fog lights, power windows, and central locking.
It was just verified by a government inspection last week as to it's documentation and spec, so... You have an ST. If it makes you feel any better, My mate bought a VW Corrado VR6 in 2001 but had more money than sense. When he came round to show it off, I asked him to pop the hood. Worryingly, he didn't know how. When we took a look at the engine bay, I asked him where the other 2 cylinders had gone. we were staring at a standard 4-pot golf engine. Yikes! So at worst, you're only missing 200cc. Bore it out, keep the GT badge ![]() |
