Toyota claims they produced about 26,500 ST165's. These were build from October 1986 till September1989. But because number ± 8,400 is made in September 1988, it's questionable if Toyota made ± 16,000 ST165 in the last production year. |
|
Toyota produced about 26,000 ST185's, including 5,000 RC/CS/Grp A versions. First one in September 1989 and the laste one in August 1993. |
|
How much Toyota build of the ST205 I don't know, but all the 20# series Celica production ended in
May 1999. The first 2,500 ST205's are specials, known as, WRC or Grp A, can be recognized for the enthousiasts under us by: - Blow Off Valve in exhaust header. - Watersprayers befor intercooler radiator. - Anti-lag system (not activated, and very difficult to activate too). |

About the ST185: From September 1989 till September 1990 they build ± 10,000. From October 1990 till August 1991 they build 5,000. From September 1991 till December 1992 they build 7,000 (included the 5,000 RC/CS/Grp A versions). From Januar 1993 till August 1993 they build ± 3,000 ST 185? The face-lifted model of the ST185 was in August 1991 and is starting with number # 15,446. This face-lifted model can be recognized by different rear light units, and the Toyota eclips sign on the hood, in stead of the Toyota name. The facelifted ST185 does share a lot of the newer and better components with the ST185 Carlos Sainz versions! (true!!!) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The ST185 RC/CS/Grp A version is an limited production of 5,000 cars. These were build from August 1991 till Februar 1992, with numbers 15,000 - 22,000. The mark RC is for: Rally Championship, CS is for: Carlos Sainz, Grp A is for: Group A car. These cars are having their own special produktion number and can be recognized by: - Different front bumper en hood. - Water cooled intercooler with watersprayers (somewhere hidden), in stead of the air cooled intercooler. - Other (internal) gearbox (E151F). - ECU with fuel- and ignitionmaps till ±1.1 bar in stead of 0.83 bar. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Where are the ST185 GT-Fours? Japan consumed about 40% of all ST185 produced. The approximate numbers of distribution all around the world are:
Today the numbers in Japan are less, and might be more in UK and NZ due to Direct Japanese Import. There were 1848 sold new in the UK, included 440 Carlos Sainz models.

About the GT4 gearboxes: E50F1 86-87 Japan spec. ST165 (locking diff) E50F2 (2 is usually dropped) all 87-89 ST165 E150F ST185, USA versions E151F ST185, in Europe (at least, mine is having this one) and Australia. E152F ST185 rally, (Japanese version). E154F ST205
According the EPC, the gearbox internals of the facelifted Celica (ST185, after no. 15446) are the same a the CS versions, but the transmission case is still listed as E150F??? Don't ask me why, I don't know. There should be four Japanese ST185 gearboxes. The normal 4.285 89-91 gearbox, the Rally gearbox (E152F) with different ratios, the RC box (3.933) and I (RD) *believe* that after 91 the standard car also got the dual cone RC synchros. Not sure on that. Not sure on US or Aus cars, there is much confusion on final drive ratios. Toyota also don't identify their gearboxes. Except for the E50F1, about the only way you can externally tell is the oil cooler. The ST165, ST185, ST185RC and ST205 all have different shape and position oil coolers. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
