Gt?

[ghostrider77]

Hey,

Probably a silly question but I'm new to the celica.

I'm looking at a japanese import celica 1995, which the dealer claims is a GT. As its an import there are not Documents with it. How do I know if the car is a GT?

Is there a GT stamp anywhere or does the car have any special feature that are only for GT models?

Thanks

It'll have the 3sge, 2.0 Engine

There isn't a japanese 'GT' as such. There's an SS1, an SS2 and an SS3.

The SS1 is 138bhp.

The SS2 and 3 are 172bhp: pretty much exactly the same as our GT

and some late SS3's have the beams engine which is 200bhp.

It'll look somthing like:

Link: 3SGE

(Without the aftermarket air filter)

the ss1 is an ok car too with its punchy 3sfe engine , its really on par with the 3sge in terms of performance , except top end where the 3sge will come into its own.

dont be put off by the ss1 only the engine is different from the ss2

Thanks for the help lads but I'm totally new to this and I don't know what 3sfe/3sge means. I don't even know the horsepower.

All I know is it does look like the pic MIP sent (thanks) and has 2000 twin cam 16V written on engine block.

So what exactly does this mean. I need to know for insurance!!

Thanks again

if its that engine then its an ss2 for insurance purposes , jap import needs optimax fuel it will run about 180 ps
