1997 n/a

[eatdrinkfeck]

have they all got ABS as standard by this year does anyone know?

My 92 tubby does so I would assume by the time yours came about it should.

When you turn the ignition on you should get a light with abs come on if you have it.

[eatdrinkfeck]

sorry, haven't got one yet, although i used to have a 1994 rev2 and this didn't have it...

[matt_mr2t]

I thought 94's were rev3's?

[eatdrinkfeck]

so did i actually, it was an early one on an "L" plate (had a split rear spoiler and old style rear light assembly)

am i right in thinking that all rev3 have ABS as atandard then?

[matt_mr2t]

I think you are mate. Possibly LSD as well.

any more peeps got a view on this (im on the look out for a rev3 at the moment)

If you're looking at a 1997 car, that would make it a REV4 model... all of which came with ABS as standard, plus a small number of other changes such as clear front indicators, diamond polished alloys, revised stereo e.t.c.

Power in N/A models was reduced by 5BHP too, not that it really matters on cars of this age though.

Brian - I have to ask - Goatse park?
Is that a place or is it just a ref to the infamous goatse?

Not a real place unfortunately, although you can find some amusing place names here:

All UK rev3's came with ABS as standard.

Dunno about imports though, it wouldn't surprise me if they could specify bits to be omitted from their cars from the factory.

Did they?

I have a rev 3 and it does not seem to have abs (no light on start up) + when braking hard it locks up.

Oh and its a uk model.

According to my 1994 UK Toyota Sports brochure (Celica, Celica GT4 & MR2) - the 'ABS' box is ticked

My 1991 rev2 import has ABS. From the books I'm reading it seems that ABS has been an option on imports since the Mk2 was introduced.

Yeah, the Japs have a bizillion options when they order their cars.
To this day Toyota still don't do much in the way of options for UK cars, although it's a lot better now than in the 90s
Just a pity their car lineup isn't as good as the 90s

Could be where the ABS has been gone faulty and the previous owner has disconnected the dash light to pass an MOT.... just a possibility by the way.
