Okay guys, been a lurker here for about a year. Ready to purchase now but over the last week I have read EVERY single thread/post on this insane cam lobe wear/rocker arm breaking issue.
To say the least, it upsets me greatly and I am reconsidering picking up one of these great cars. I am coming from a supercharged S2000, where even with boost, the cars engine is almost bulletproof, never would you have an issue like this from my current car.
I honestly cannot believe that the major problems occurring in the Elise are due to the TOYOTA power plant. That is mind blowing to me.
My question is this: Is this more of a consolidated problem that seems bigger than it really is due to reading an internet forum, or is this problem as big as it seems? If one gets an Elise, it almost seems to me, that its not if this problem arises, its when.
Can anyone comment on this and give me some insight?
All of the other little bugs and issues dont bother me, but seeing many cases of these cars developing the issue at 2000 miles kills my desire to get one. It seems fitting that you guys use this smiley: TADTS
