hmmmmm odd.....it appears to be a facelift in everyway except for that black rear number plate surround which (as a rule) is body colour on the facelift, but who knows, maybe it was replaced with a pre facelift one? i rekon they look better black anyway hehe. Christ i'd have to say you dearly need a front spoiler lol my sugestion is go to EVERY wrecker in (shit where do u live? wgtn or akl?) and ask if they've got one ... FOR THE LOVE OF CELICAS GOD DAMNIT hehe

yea man im the oppsite ive got the pre face lift grill etc and had the black numver plate thingy but replacted it with another white celica(like mine facelifted model) so its white like the rest of the car. dident even notices the grills were diffrent is it that noticable ? if you had a facelift and a prefacelift side by side ? and the preface lift aint that bad ever ?? what you think oh ps if i want to get the facelift grill will it just bolt up kinda thing ? like the number plate bit did ?

no no no no hold up. If you take off your pre faceflift indicators you will notice that flat piece of plastic is joined on not bolted (stupid design) so on order to get a facelift grille you need the facelift indicators too.

Im 18 in 7th form, so in 2 days time I will have finished fukn skool for eva!!!!!!!! Na the facelift did have the spoiler its just toygtr only has 12cents in his bank haha that cant quite afford a spoiler The gen 2 head is soooooooooo much gruntier than our stupid TVIS rubish, mums got a rare 1991 corona GTR whitch has the gen 2 3SGE it fuuuuuk does it fly, eats my car for lunch and its got a jenny craig sticker on the back of it That turbo kit looks good ay, the only other thing you will definatly need is GTE loom and ECU. He mentions hes got an ECU but u'd need the loom I think. Which mirror did you hit? I have a spare drivers side one off my old door but its black, the passenger side one is broken so thats no good. And i'm pretty sure the gen 1 and gen 2 heads are the same internally the only thing different about them is the intake (maybe the ports are larger i duno). So u guna get turbo kit?
