The 2ZZ-GE in the GT-S model is known for some problems. Enough that when Lotus put the engine in the Elise 111R they added an oil cooler.

Most people (celica gt-s) owners seem to think the problem is an oil starvation problem with sustained Gs at the #3 crank bearing.

Well I don't know if I can afford a GT-S but we'll see. As stated in my other threads, my priorities are:

#1 Reliability
#2 Looks
#3 Speed

So even a GT would be fine, but of course I will try for the GT-S :rockon:

IMO the celica is a driving blindspot. not to mention its just ugly. however if you can live with those things, its a great car i suppose. i think a GSR is a better choice.
