I'm not sure exactly what it is but it's the one that is not L.

I didn't even think of that, are you referring to the VIN engine code? The GT is L, and the engine is the 2ZZ-GE. I can't seem to find even online what the code is for the base engine. I'll check my owners manual tomorrow, and maybe the Haynes manual if it's not in there.

Yeah, it's pretty good but no info at all on the 2ZZ, so I'm still in the market for a Chilton's if anyone ever has them in stock for a good price.

Would be good if you could find out before dropping the money on one. I bet the folks at newcelica would know
