Celica SSIII

[dnalunchie]

Hey guys random question how quick are these things in factory guise. The st203's I think their called. With the beams 3sge and lsd

0-100
1/4 mile
etc

Also how much power do they ACTUALLY make atw. I know toyota says 200hp but ..... hmmm doubtful.

These ones

Still ST202 I think....pretty rapid things though, they do go really well.

like Type R integra rapid?>

The one I drove a few years back was extremely smooth, felt like you were going much slower than you actually were. Similar 0-100 time as an ITR by the looks.

Do they all have lsds? Do they make decent power>

Yeah, it is suffering from lazy syndrome.

You have something to contribute Luke or just more mocking?

If I was in China then I just wouldnt be able to get into any Taiwan sites. Im sure I could still find Info on the Beams 3sge. But apparently from my digging anything from 110-120kw atw is expected

Just mocking really However to make my post semi constructive, I think you should get a real Celica...

thats a good celica (I know the owner)will talk more about these when I get home (they make about 160WHP) and this one has the factory airbox (aftermarket pod filters lean it out in high rpms due to the afm)

I would put them as Prelude/FTO GPX rapid... similar kind of beast.

this is a ST202 (ST203 are the ST202 with 4 wheel steering)


so its a late facelift spec SS-III so it comes with the redtop 3S-GE (VVT-I on the intake cam, 197BHP/ ~169WHP & 205.94 Nm of torque) 5 speed FWD transmission (this comes with the Helical LSD) and superstrut (bit different to the ST205) and stronger brakes- 2pot in the front

other things tom's front lip (pretty rare/uncommon) projector headlights 2post spoiler, but minus the rasier blocks (would look the same as WRC ST205 2 post spoilers)

interior notes: cilmate control, red strip seats 3post steering wheel rear strut brace (should have one) white face guage clusters

as far as power upgrades an ECU will take you to +210BHP, but you are limited to performance parts,maybe less somewhat to the 3rd gen 3sge.

the best person to ask about this is a guy called Zuban/Edophus. used to race one of these over in england. extremely knowlegable in this engine/celica


hope it helps
yea I was wrongish with the power before I was in a rush

I remember a few years back, one of my mates had one of these, He was following us around watching rally nz, we were in a GTS-T skyline with a little more boost than standard and this Celica kept up no problem with 5 people in the car, I was very impressed

I guess the only problem with this celica is the ITR. Still much nicer interior in celica. Once you have done a nice 2.5inchy exhuast and a flat panel filter there isnt much you could do without going crazy with $$ to get more power.

How do they handle?

Is it? What's different. My memory suc, but I thought it was the same as 205?

[Mr Revhead]

The biggest problem with a celica is they are considered more gay than an MX5.

Absolutely nothing wrong with them, I would own certain models, but it's the stereotype. Unless, you park next to a curren....

the thing that appeals to me about the st202 rather than the 205 is that being NA I would be less inclined to start spending stupid amounts of money on the thing (as those of you who have been here a while will know I do).

But then again I tried that with the Type R integra. Didnt work that well

Those crystal looking headlights on the st202 are sweet!

The biggest issue is, it appears to not be a V9 WRX.
