Yep! I decided to buy it, Yes it is an SS-III, No it doesn't have Beams.

It had 74,480 Kms on the odometer when I took the keys today,

What's it got?
SS-III side skirts
Super Strut Suspension
Front & Rear Strut bars
3S-GE motor, Non VVT-i
16 Inch Factory Toyota wheels, 215/50R16
3 Spoke Steering Wheel
Auto A/C electronic climate control unit
Modern JDM tail lights
Modern JDM front bumper
Modern 3 Post spoiler

What it doesn't have?
Beams motor
White interior
Airbags
Front and rear splitters
red splash interior carpet (mines blue splash)
Sunroof
extra knob on driver seat which remembers the driving position of the back rest

It's an amazing upgrade from the '95 SS-I so I'm going to post pictures in this thread and list the things I do to it in time. I got a few things in mind which I'll list later on.

Thread hijackers!!!!

I just installed NGK BKR6EIX iridium plugs, the engine is a bit more revvy now, pulsing the throttle in neutral atleast its faster to rev up than before, out came some crappy Denso PK20's that looked like absolute crud with burnt away electrodes and white stains on the outter part, blew $85NZ on 4 silly plugs but i reckon they'll stay in good cond for the next 5 services which will pay itself off by then, must be time to compliment them with some TRD or magnecore leads eh?

I love SS-III I couldn't go back to no superstrut, no lsd, no 2 pot brakes and I never wanna own another celica with an FE head
