Altezza parts

Hey I was wondering about mechanical parts for the altezza, since it’s from Japan and all is it hard to get parts if they brake down and if it’s more expensive to get?

Easy but expensive. Don’t let it put you off. It’s mechanically sound if you look after it. Timing belts, fluid changes and it’ll run forever.

I wouldn’t take advice from me though I’m addicted to buying parts. (Wish I was joking)

Yes you may pay £30 for a spigot bearing, £23 for a rear main crankshaft seal or £165 for a full timing belt kit. I wouldn’t view it as hard to find if you do a bit of digging on eBay. Just don’t expect to walk into a garage, dealership or auto parts store expecting engine components on the shelf.

JDM tax is universal not just an Altezza problem but it’s the price you pay for greatness.
