Slight differences:

00-01, rev limiter set at 8400, close shift gates, and gray interior
02, rev limiter set at 7800, revised shift gates and gray interior
03, Drive by wire throttle (some of them)and rev limiter set at 8400 and black interior
04, Rev limiter set back to 8200, Drive by wire, black interior
05, 7800 rev limiter, drive by wire and black interior

My 2000 GT-S has black leather interior. But all the other info seems to be correct.

He's not talking about the seats.. he's talking about the panels, dash etc. 03+ are black instead of gray.

hey im talking about whats the different about the motor and what is the best out of 00-05.

The engines are the same w\ minor changes in the rev limiter and throttle system. However the 2000- 2001 2zzge engine has been known to be kind problematic. Other than the TSB's, the engines are all the same. Same Hp and torque.

Basically the rev limit and throttle body set up matters if you intend on doing lots of engine mods. If I recall correctly, DBW system is not compatible with the PFC for engine tuning. The lower rev limit makes it harder to land in the power band while shifting on the GTS. 00-01 have the higher rev limit but historically the lift bolts in the early 2zz engines were prone to wearing and breaking. There are write ups on how to change those, and the bolts themselves are quite inexpensive but it may take a bit of technical expertise and about an hour or so to change them out. If that's not a big deal then the earlier GTS models should be a fairly reliable car.

so everyone is sayin that 00-03 parts well fit my 04 celica gts car?
