1989 celica gts

what do you guys think about this car?
I have never test driven one(i will soon), but i found one for quite cheap and MIGHT get it if its a half decent car...
not exactly what i am looking for tho(AE92)

I guess you've pretty much decided not to get the AE86, heh? After hearing all the problems I've had with my car :wink:

I can't comment much on the old school ST165 Celicas.

Personally I'd get myself a AE92 GT-S if I didn't enjoy rear-wheel drive vehicles as much.. and if I didn't already have a winter beater (1991 Corolla sedan).

What I like most about the AE92 is that, I remember hearing quite some time ago, that a Levin conversion (Japanese front-clip + 4A-GZE motor) will cost you only $4000. Which honestly isn't too bad.

But I'm a Corolla freak, so it's better to get advice from someone who's owned a second hand ST165 Celica.

Good luck on deciding Shaun. :smile:

THERE IS A LEVIN CONVERSION FOR 4g? INCLUDING A 4agze! WHAT! ......i really really want that ae92 now lol. but i found this celica for relatively cheap(2900 sounds good doesnt it)?
and it has like 169k on it..black 5 speed.
oh and ya, i decided not to get an ae86 after hearing ur horror stories...i started to cry when i heard about the cracked heads and all :grin:

Thanks Shaun. Yes, I'm really dissapointed myself about the fact that the cylinder head was cracked on my car. Just bad luck I guess. It was probably why the previous owner sold it to me.. damn bastard hehehe :grin:

Yes, of course, there is a levin conversion for the AE92. I thought about doing the conversion but I favoured the AE86 for it's rear-wheel drive. I believe Andrew Lee told me it costs around $4000, everything inclusive.

It's a steal if you ask me. Here's a good comparision between the two AE92s:

The blue Levin DID belong to a person named Arthur. The car sounds magnificient with the 4A-GZE!!

Yup. My old celica was an '89/'90 ST165 (all trac) and my moms celica is a ST162 (GT-S) and I believe the ST168 is the race ready all trac/GT-FourRC or something like that.

It's an awesome car!
