6GC Reliability, any known issues? Options

[integra_killer]

I know the 6th gen celica is one of the most reliable cars out there, and ive got a 96gt (5sfe) are there any known reliability issues with our cars at all?

What would be the car's weakest point?
thnx!

Let me put it this way. We had a 92 Camry with a 3sfe with one of the worst rod-knocks I've ever heard come in as a parts car to our garage... not mentioning a blown head gasket and probably tons of other little things. My cousin and I were messin around and decided to blow up the engine... so we revved the thing to redline and held it there for about 15 minutes before the sucker finally blew up. The exhaust manifold was glowing red, the block started to turn white... and finally, in a great blaze of smoke, boom.

I'd say toyota motors are pretty "f"ing tough. Mechanically speaking, 6gc are pretty soild, both the 7AFE and 5SFE. I personally have problems with interior rattles, from the center vents, my aftermarket sunroof, and door panels... but thos aren't really reliability issues.... ;] and oh yeah... I'm on my second starter. Original went out around 120K miles.
