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.

Reversing out of my driveway (up hill, narrow with obstacles) every day is what's done it, so gonna reverse in from now on and make more of an effort to let the clutch engage before I give gas. Nat's been hangin out with me a fair bit lately so I'm not completely Celicaless :D:D I get people asking me how I got a spoiler and mags overnight now haha.

But yeah as I gotta just keep working on Celicas I'm doing to her car everything I've done to mine.. Intake, Dash/Ring LEDs (hers pink), Probably put in an oil catch, Get a 3" aluminum ram pipe, Once she's up to where I am I gonna template and build two CAI's.. She's onto Interior trims... blue for mine pink for hers.

ACIS mod would be cool too if she didn't have a stupid 3S-FE motor.

Still yet to document this properly, but once I get my car back with the new clutch I'll have it dynoed, videoed, pictured and documented.
