thats my ST205 Celica GT4... makes over 300bhp with simple mods...
the ST185 was built up to 1993/1994 and has flip up headlights...
they can be quick with a bit of money spent but as standard is not exactly lightning

I insured mine at 20 for £1500
I wont lie... fuel is a pig!!
Funny you mention buying one dude as mine will be for sale next month...
Its a 1994 WRC edition - anti lag, water injection, water mist spray bars as standard, none of it is plumbed in though 
has got 60,000 miles on the clock
has been de-limited and converted to mph clocks...
Spec:
TRD spark plugs (grade cooler - iridium ?)
Blitz nur spec exhaust
3" Aussie downpipe
Greddy Profec boost controller set at 1.1bar max (but in the heat of the day I run 0.5bar - boost control off)
Koyo uprated radiator - hhhhhuge rad!!! 
Blitz air filter
Charge cooler has been lagged twice to prevent heat-soak
Defi oil temp guage
Defi oil pressure guage
Defi water temp guage
Defi boost pressure guage
Defi link 1 controller with peak hold, warning, and record / playback features
Weds racing 17" alloys - LIGHT WHEELS!
Pirrelli P Zero Nero Tyres 225/45/17
TRD grooved disks
TRD fast road pads
TRD Springs and I beleive TRD dampers
TRD gearstick with TRD quickshift
TRD oil filler cap
TRD petrol filler cap
Comes with the standard catalytic converter for MOT time...
plus all usual extras like climate control, folding leccy mirrors, steering fogs, minidisk player with components etc.
this car will hold its own with a standard Evo FQ 340 and the likes
performance bargain for 5.2k - so you got time to save a few more pounds yet chap
