Model Type

[TCGT]

hi,

I've been looking at the model data on the forum with regard to my dimension query and checked my model number against them.

My model is

E-ST182 BLMVF

I didn't spot this amongst them.

Could any members please shed light on what my car is.

All I know, or think, it is a 1990 GT import.

thanks

Yup. Thats the one.

Is it a widebody????

[TCGT]

Hi,

I'm correct then, thanks, but I don't know about the wide body.

It seems to have big arches and has 7 in wheels fitted which fit easily.

Hi Booster,

Thanks for the info. The frame number matches perfectly.

Does this mean that this car is my car and if so what is a GT-R.

Sorry for my ignorance but I'm a Celica virgin.

Their was a limited edition of the 182 with this chassis code ST182L-BLMVFG The widebodies are pretty distuinguishable.

Standard 182

The Widebody 182 has the same arches as the 185. As someone once pointed out 'they stand out like a dogs b*lls'

Hi

Thanks for posting the pic, I'll take a pic and let you tell me what you think.

If I measure the width I presume that would tell me.

Not sure that it would. The difference is less than two inches Looks more though. Normal width is 5`7.1" The widebody is 5' 8.7"

Could try finding a gap thats exactly 5` 8". Whether you make it through or not you`ll know for sure.

Perhaps a tape measure would be better.

Hi, If I've done it right below should be two pics of my new Celica.

The second is of the front wing.

I know they aren't the best pics in the world as my drive is a bit crowded until the Sprite goes.

Could anyone please tell me if it is a standard 182 or something else.

Thanks

What pics are they then?????? :)

[TCGT]

Hi, Sorry 'bout that.

Pics were too big so I had to get my 13 year old son to shrink them this morning.

Can you tell what it is from these?

Needs a shot along the sides really. The rear arches are far more noticeable.
