Do the 2003/2004 Vibe GT's have the updated lift bolt?

Been trying to figure out whether I should be worried about the lift bolt problem on my '03 Vibe GT?

Probably not. Every 2zz that went into a Vibe GT has an updated lift bolt. We'll see in a few years but I haven't heard of any late 02 or 03 celica/vibe/matrix problems. Pretty soon you'll be able to add the Lotus Elise to that company. When it finally gets to the U.S. next spring, it will have a 2zz motor.

The Elise is going to be neat with a 190hp 2zz and a 2000lb curb weight! Can't wait to read the magazine reviews!
