Keep 6GC or get ST185? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #51521 7 posts Started by manphibian
Well, i've been doing some thinking, and i could pretty much swap my 3S-GE UK Celica GT for a 5GC ST-185 GT-4.

Pretty much same price, same insurance etc.

What would you do if you had the choice? I've never really considered one before, but i didn't know they were same to insure as mine. (ST-205 is about double insurance cost of my GT so can't really afford one)

If anyone has any sweet pics of ST-185's then i'd like to see them.

Because i have no skillz frown.gif

Plus the insurance in the UK on engine swapped cars is more than on a GT-4

keep the GT and save up for a ST205. ST185s are alright..but i hate the old inteirors and the way the dash is layed out. I say keep your car now Luke. It looks good, and just spend a bit more time and $ on it and sell it for a good $.
is this going to be a daily driver? if so i say keep the current celica.

ST185 are a pain in the ass to do any type of work not to mention the maintance on them is a pain in the ass also.

Yeah it would be my DD.

Yeah, i'm starting to think i'll keep the 6. The age that they are means they need A LOT of maintenance.
