Help - Celica Differences

[SynnX]

Hi

My fiancee's Mum has just bought a 1995 imported Celica and I'm trying to do some insurance quotes for her.

Only problem I have is that all the insurance forms are asking what type of Celica it is, SS-I, SS-II or SS-III

How can I tell the difference between the models?

It's a 1995 2.0l Automatic

Any help is much appreciated

Thanks

In Japan, the '94-98 Toyota Celica came with one of three engines. The SS-I came with the 3S-FE engine, the SS-II and SS-III came with the 3S-GE engine, and the GT-4 was powered by the 3S-GTE engine. In 1996, the 3S-FE engine was improved slightly to increase fuel economy and decrease vibrating noises. In 1997, Toyota introduced VVT-i to the 3S-GE engine for the 1998 Celica, which increased horsepower and torque substantially, and improved fuel economy. You can identify 3S-GE engines with VVT-i, because they have a red valve cover that says "Beams." The 3S-FE runs optimally on regular octane unleaded gasoline, but the more performance-oriented 3S-GE and 3S-GTE engines require premium octane unleaded gasoline.

chances are that its a SSII being a 2.0l from jap, but dont quote me.

Is it an import? If not and its a UK car then its quite simple.

1.8 engine is either an ST or an SR

2.0 engine is a GT

2.0 Turbo is GT4

If you have an Auto box then chances are you have an import SS1 as i cant remember seeing a UK auto or an Auto SS2.

I think the 2.0GT 4WS is a SSI since its only got a 3SFE engine
