    Gday,

    Im in Australia (if you didnt pick that) Looking for a red top, sick of waiting around but i feel there may be better places than Ebay to look. Theyre either in canada or cost 3-4k, neither seems acceptable.

    Where else is a good place to find one?
    I need engine, loom, ecu and trans.
    Do i look for half cuts? MR2s? Altezzas?

    Does someone here have one they are selling?

    Any help greatly appreciated, my poor car has been off the road for over a year -_-

    Cheers,

    Alex

    In case you have a friend in japan, ask him to look around there on auction sites. I got mine from there, but it was arranged by a company from my country.

    Gday mate

    Try the local engine importers, plenty being shipped into NZ and OZ.
    If you fail to find any I suggest looking on Trademe.co.nz - they are common on there and sending one to OZ wouldn't be a hassle.

    Cheers guys.

    Yep, if i can get one closer to home that would be spot on.
    Just got a pm back from a Hong Kong ebay engine, 550 freight. Plus whatever customs charges there might be, and no warranty on that..

    Ive found out theres a 'friend of a friend' who is in trd who builds some track celicas, might see what i can find out through there too.

    I dont have anyone actually in japan, not that id trust to find a good engine anyway, ill look into importers though.
    Then theres getting it in my car..

    More research is needed!

    Thanks!
