hi all.

im new in the celica forum as i'm thinking about getting one :)

i am currently looking at this shape in a ST1.8 (insurance reasons as you may understand)

am i right in saying this is a 5th generation celica?

any suggestions on what to look out for? any common problems with them?

also are all celicas wheels 5stud?

any other info you think might be helpful please comment!

thanks. nick.

[Froston]

by looking around the forum i think i have found out that it is a 6th gen ST182 that i am looking for, correct?

thx in advance, nick.

[Fizz]

thats a very very nice looking ST202... 6th Gen..

what type of info exactly you after?

[Froston]

thanks for replying,

please could you confirm that I am after a ST182 6th Gen (like this)

just generally asking for info - such as what things have gone wrong on yours that i should check when buying to be honest. but any comments or suggestions are welcome.

[ldjohnst]

They are 6th Gen ST202's. If you buy one thats been looked after and not modified you wont get a lot of problems with them, they are well made cars.

[Froston]

how do i know if its a ST202/ST182 any others???

thx. nick

[Froston]

ooh - and what is the BHP & 0-60 time of a 1.8 ST?

thx. nick

The ST18X is the gen 5 - the previous model which has pop up headlights.

The ST202 is the 173Bhp Gen 6, the ST205 is the GT4 beast.

If you want the entry level model for insurance purposes - it's a 1.8l 7AFE engine - go for the the ST200 you have a choice of the ST or the SR (limited edition model).

I have an ST200, a silver SR model, which is available for the right price. If you're interested email me on ben.mellor@celica-club.co.uk. I'm the Gen6 mod on the celica-club.co.uk website - so I can assure you she's been well looked after.

Hi Nick, the ST182 Celica ran from 1990 ( G reg ) to 1993/94 ( L Reg ) the best way to tell is by the head light :-

Pop up Head lights ( 1990 onwards - Non turbo ) = ST182

Twin round head lights = ST202

If you still looking I have one for sale, please see the link below:-

Hope this helps

Thanks

ooh noo, sorry - i assumed that ST182 was the engine name which means it had a 1.8litre (like honda engines) :S

i'd need a 1.8 litre cos im only 17 :(

sorry peeps

Froston, the SR and ST models are a 1.8L engine.

The entire gen6 range was designated as T20x where X stood for the variant chracteristics.

hence on the UK market you had the following :

ST200 - Gen 6 Celica 1.8l - (either as SR (ins grp 13) or ST (ins grp 12))

ST202 - Gen 6 Celica 2.0l - GT (Ins grp 15)

ST205 - Gen 6 Celica Turbo'd 2.0l - GT4 (ins grp 17)

Dan, only selling the SR if I get the right offer - I need to look at reducing motoring costs as I want to buy a house - just want to get summat cheap to run around the country in for work and keep the GT for best still.

[Dan_Q]

Fair do's Ben :)

U should get a good price for her though mate, she's a minter B)

I've always dreamed of having two cars- but i've just bought a house so theres no chance of that fella

Toyota Celica 1.8ST,

It has 114 BHP, 0 - 60 in 10 secs, so its not the quickest car you can get for its insurance group, but I wouldnt change mine, not until i can get the Mitsu GTO.

Wheels are 5 x 100 pcd, same as all other generation Celica's.

Not the best car for getting adults in the back, but as you'll be driving no problem there, let the others suffer.

I would have thought you'll have a bit of trouble with insurance at 17, as i am being quoted ridiculous prices and im 20, no NCB admitadly.

Any way hope this helps some what,

BTW, they look awsome in black.

Cheers

Toyota Celica 1.8ST,

not that slow - i got lasered at 97.7mph... believe me it surprises a few people, then i take them out in the Gt and surprise them even more !

[JohnnyC]

I once had my 1.8 SR (ST but with bits on :) ) up to an indicated 130mph

They're not that slow, most of the time you're doing 0-30 or 0-40 and in that respect they're not too bad cos they pull well at only 1,500rpm (unlike my MR2 that has no power below 3000rpm).
