I bought some NGK spark plugs on ebay and didn't realize that its for the older model Celica (88-89). I was wondering if anyone know if these would fit in the 95 Celica. Thanks
Here's what I bought. A very great deal.

I doubt it will work, because if you go on NGK's website the part number doesn't match with our gen celica. Besides the wires are for a totally different motor.

hum, dont look like the spark plug conenctor is long enough. Judging by the pic ofcorse.

I never bought the wrong wires for my celi. but trying to judge from the pic it also looks like those distributer plugs are a bit big also~

IDK for sure. dont lissen to me, i'm guessing

Why did you order them from ebay anyway? Well besides the cheap price, you could have gone to a NAPA and paid maybe 30 bucks more, but you'll know for sure they will fit your car.

Wait - I'll end this right now [as a former 4th gen owner/enthusiast I think I can end this].
The 4th gen never had a A series motor [3s-fe, 3s-ge and 3s-gte were offered on the various trim levels] and since your profile lists you as an ST and I assume that means you have a 7A-FE - these wires will NOT work. The boot is different as are the wire lengths and for all I know there may be differences in the resistance of the wires, the clips to the cap etc. Furthermore, the 7a doesn't have a coil wire [coil in cap design] so you should notice you are trying to replace a 4 wire set with 5 wire set - what were you gonna do with the extra wire?
Just get the NGK ultimate race class wires for your car [probably overkill but why not? They're not much more] and motor and call it a day.
for future reference: anytime you are replacing a part with a new part, be it OEM or aftermarket, it's a good idea to get the original peice and the replacement peice side by side and compare the way the mount etc to ensure compatibilty. It's just a good practise and I think we've all ordered "direct replacement" parts that were mislabeled or incorrectly identfied w/e. This takes the guess work out of the equation.
Hope this helps.

BTW - Had it been S series to S series there still could have been differences in boot length etc. Just buy the right part for the right engine/car.

DEATH, i agree with you fully, but have to point out one item, (we recently discovered this) being a 94-95 motor, our coil is built-into our distributer. So we can take a (compatible) 5 wire set and it'll still work. We simply throw away the ignition coil wire. (the 5th wire) It wont work Vice-Versa

However; As a result, i'm having trouble trying to figure out how to upgrade it for a turbo project. 96+ have an external coil so it's really easy to change we're kinda screwed on that one~

eh- win some loose some.

Thanks for all the great input. I was able to return the wires and get a refund. Anyway I found these and wanted to double check with you guys to see if its the right one: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAP...3D88%26_fvi%3D1
It appear to be the right one. I even check the ngk website and this is the part # that was given for thr 6Gen St model. I have a question though. Its listed with not wire coil? Do we need the wire coil? Thanks

That looks good. I got the blue ngks on my 5s. Btw the wire coil is for the cars running individual coils and you arent. SO you are okay.

Great. Thanks. I'll go ahead and place my order.
