till this day, dont ask me about these differences, i only know the ss-III the most but not even enough to say enough besides the JDM parts. ss-i and ss-ii i noticed are mostly motor differences, see, i can't even fill up this paragraph trying to differentiate those.

I didn't realize you were from '05, you're probably one of the last remaining posters from that era.


yea...i still remember the old members, they dropped like flies or vanished like ninjas per say.....ditchers all yall are ditchers! lol...just kidding..


I may not be '05 but I've stuck around awhile.


Same!


Two-year-less ditto.


Been here for a while too, maybe not as long as some of you guys but I am NOT planning to leave this place. I still have 2 celica and still enjoy them like the first days smile.gif

That is so f'en true, i was just thinking the exact same thing...the only difference between you and me is that you already got the 3s in possession, and yes believe it or not, I've been reading about the 3s swap recently cus like you said, thats the only thing me and you haven't done yet. My plan was if I still have the car, which i plan to keep forever, was turbo the 5s or get a 3sgte, thats actually my next project in mind, but becomes a forced option if my 5s blows. Also, wider wheels too. LOL, good paragraph to describe me and you - couldn't have said it better.

Some mods i'm currently working on or just completed recently or this year:
Chrome my spare valve cover - replace gaskets
Just recently replaced my rear calipers/brake pads
just replaced my alternator
just replaced my slave cylinder
just put on Kelspot polished radiator brackets
just replaced radiator
just replaced evaporator, expan valve, and drier, recharged
recently replaced endlinks/sway bushings
recently replaced inner/outer tie rods

IMO the SS-II and SS-III have more incommon with each other than the SS-I and SS-II.

you know you own a celica when you say you're going to keep it until it dies.. or that you're never going to sell it.

Heard that same line a million times here, but they end up selling it anyway, or disappearing from the site.

You know you own a celica and really like it when you have more than 1, or from another gen. -----like me.

Gerald, this is where half my efforts and money go into, my other celica. which means the 3sgte could've been reality but decided to get this one up and ready.

Celica passing by...

SS-1 - No sideskirts, no 15" factory wheels, when modified can differentiate sound diference between 3sfe and 3sge

SS-2 / SS-3 - Factory sideskirts, 2pot brakes gives a good indication a 3sge motor lives under the hood, early model SS-3 look for "super strut suspension" sticker on bottom of rear windscreen.

GT4 from behind - Look for low gas tank

1998 SS-3 - The only model st202 that stands out on its own

Celica parked up...

SS-1 - Rev counter to 6200
SS-2/SS-3 - Rev counter to 7000

You know you own a Celica when you're daily driving an IS 300/350Z but you much prefer the feel of a Celica.

you know you own a celica when you want another car thats "better" but you still keep the celica, you are just that sentimental.

or i've seen peeps get rid of their celica, only later to buy another one again.

^ I actually made a bible for my 2 celicas. it has the following sections, types of celica, OEM brochure info, exterior, suspension, collision, parts catalog OEM and JDM, electrical/lighting, anything you can think of, and I complied all this info and put it into clear sheet protectors and a binder. Basically everything is in that binder. HAHA hardcore....

there are only 2 hatchbacks, 1 is kinda modded, the other disappeared. the ST184 coupes I don't even want to deal with. The All Tracs are in crap condition here and belong to disloyal owners. but my mom had an 82 Celica.
