whats the story with these celicas?

why is my car an SX yet it has the "second best" engine

yet i see cars with things like GTS and they have 2-se?

this has been on my mind for ages just had 2 get it out.

 

hahaha fiar enough

but what about monkeys old car? the gt? why did that have a shitty motor?

 

why was an 1986 2se called a gt?

yet a 1986 3sge called an sx?

 

o ok thats understandable

 

The 86 ST and GT had the 2se, in north america anyways. The GT had power options as its benifit over the ST, for all of the model years. Like power mirrors, electronic climate control, probably the option of cruise and AC weren't available on the ST as well, not too sure. The two models always had the same mechics though.

The model names are different in Japan, Europe and elsewhere. I have a Tamiya model kit of a 86-87 Celica 2000GTR, and that was only available in Japan as far as I know. But it would be the same car as our GT-S or your SX.

 

not sure, maybe i was thinking of gt

so if the gts in 86 87 88 and 89 all had 3sges how come mine isnt a 2se or something?

 

I've seen pics of celicas from africa I think it was, or maybe south america that had old tercel or corolla motors with carbs. Might have been the 4ac. Or that crappy 12 valve tercel motor.

 

did we get 3sgte's in 4th gens? ive seen 5th gens with gtes

 

yeh
if they werent put here, then the turbo motors would be worth heaps cuz they would have had 2 be privately imported
