Mark and Richard at Manawatu Toyota in Palmy will do a club discount which I’m pretty sure is just trade price on genuine parts, they will send all around the country. Usually just need your rego plate or model and frame number off the build plate in the frunk. Amayama is another source for genuine parts if you can wait two or three weeks for delivery. They are sometimes cheaper for more specialised parts.

Thought I would just add to this thread. My engine was alot worse than I feared and as long as next week rolls around I'll be acquiring a gen 4 3sgte that runs. Anyone ever swapped a gen 4 motor in and may be able to give me some advice cheers!

GEN4 3SGTE have been swapped in the SW20 for 20 years at least.

Check out my thread in the Rides section for how to do it.

Send me your engine wiring harness from the MR2 and Caldina and I'll make it plug and play for you. :D
