hindi yata lumabas ang ganyan celica sa pinas....so parts is really an issue pero, it sure is a good project car.

any pictures? ano-ano pa ba kulang?

nagka typo ako, nde pala st165, st185 pala hehehe...

as far as i know, the car is complete. no mods at all except for an exhaust.
heres a picture of an st185, not the actual car, but the same model and color.

Very nice car. One of my In-Laws has the front wheel drive version of this.

You just need to be careful with the maintenance, because this wasn't sold here, so you have to approach aftermarket/performance suppliers for some parts.

Orig LHD ba yan?

**bleed** · October 26th, 2006 02:12 PM

yan yung concern ko eh... yung parts pag may nasira.

wildthing: the one im looking at right now is converted na, japan galing. i know the ones in the US are orig LHD, pero bihira lang ang gt-four or all-trac doon.

For sure ba 165 ps yung regular 3S-GE ng Celica? When I drove it, it didn't feel that energetic... but then, the condition of the engine was unknown.

Saw one of those bad-boys shoehorned into a Levin conversion... broooom broooom... glug glug glug...
