[JDM_Celica]

I just bought a 1995 toyota celica st yesterday and I know not 1 thing about these cars. I recently owned 2 gs-r's 95 civc hatch and 91 prelude so these toyota engines trannys and ecus are way different then what I am used to wiht honda-acura stuff. Anyways I browsed the site for a good while and now I have questions that need answred. 1st how can u tell if your car is st205 or 165 or 185, second what is the engine code for my model like in hondas they have b16, b20, b18 is its 3gste if not whats that? and please explian the 5 afe and 7afe after these r answered I will be set in making a clean jdm celica.

Ah well the 95 ST....well it looks sexy don't it? I hope you got a liftback. It has the 7afe 1.8L.....YAY! It is FWD. It looks sexy! It doesn't have a load of power.....like 110 hp. Now since you live in NC and I sorta live in NC we both know the OBDI no longer needs emissions inspections....and the villagers rejoice! This means as long as your car "looks" safe and "looks" like it has a functional egr valve you are good to go! So if you want a real JDM celica you will want to invest in a fine 3sge 2nd or 3rd or 4th gen. Or the ultra sexy 3rd gen 3sgte. Either way have fun and welcome to the real car drivers side. Toyota.
