I know that some items are shared with the eclipse, but as we don't get that in the UK I am not sure I can help too much on the specifics.
There is a company on the internet called Amayama that seems like it is set up to source parts from all over and ship them anywhere else.
In the UK we use Viamoto - I am not sure if they would ship internationally or not.
Hopefully someone will be along to help at some point.
Ok thanks for the information. I’ll check those companies out
oh hey! fellow Canadian!
there are a few places i get my parts!
https://www.amayama.com/en - they are great for lots of fiddly bits
https://www.viamoto.co.uk/ - I buy most of my driveline parts from these guys, pretty reasonable shipping even when i order brake rotors and other bits. (though my last
rotors came with a NAPA number so possibly able to get them locally)
https://stmtuned.com/ - Ive gotten a couple parts from them that were interchange from the eclipse.
https://www.ebay.ca/usr/vectec - This guy is out of aus, but i bought my timing kit and valve cover gaskets from this guy. the parts are good.
https://www.rhdjapan.com/ - got plug wires from these guys, they can have useful stuff. but limited.
https://japansparkplugs.com/boutique/en/ - get my plugs from these guys (DENSO IRIDIUM TOUGH VK20)
https://www.croooober.com/en/ - They get random and sporadic parts for the VR4's and the shipping is insane, but worth keeping an eye on
Napa sells WIX oil filters rebranded as their Gold/Platinum filters, give them Part number 51356XP and it will cross reference to a platinum filter. I use that one.
If you are looking for something specific hit me up and i can help you source them.

Ya same with mine. I’m considering pulling the engine and tranny eventually for a rebuild if I end up keeping it
I know that feeling, my original 4 bolt block is sitting in a box atm after it ate its bearings. currently running on a 2 bolt NA motor I pulled from a scrap SL. and the trans has no real reason to still be in one piece, But **** the car runs super reliably. It will eventually get a full build, but I am estimating 60K USD in parts to do what I want. So for now I just get to enjoy driving it on weekends.
60k!?!? That thing is gonna be a monster lol. Fully built big single turbo or?Quote:

Ya that thing would be a beast with that much money in to it. But I guess it adds up quick if you’re doing everything on it.Quote:
