I think I'll do the deal with Amayama - last quote I got from my local Toyota was $350 for an interior targa carpet knob thingo (that sticks it to the glass top).

Oh thanks Red, but I've already got the parts I needed (and spares!) from Josh, the Melbourne MR2 wrecker. I was just using an example

You wouldn't happen to have a receipt still would you? I was looking at their products but I wanted to make sure the numbers match up

Okay so I've got a brand new OEM rotor ordered from Victoria, and I'm looking at ordering a Bosch GD921 Distributor Cap as I can pick one up for $52 from AllPartsAutomotive.com.au, compared to the ridiculous price from Amayama (price went up to $88).

Now I'm looking at picking up a new o2 sensor, and ditching the spark leads. I'm pretty sure my leads are fine. The guy that sold me the rotor can do me a used o2 sensor (in good/working cond.) for about $100, and I've found a few sites that can supply a brand new one for $150+. Am I going to have to suck it up and pay the $150 or am I getting jibbed?

Edit:

So I looked into Autobarns catalogue and found 3 Fuelmiser brand o2 sensors that are supposed to fit. Unfortunately they don't come with a plug, so you have to wire them up to the factory plug (that shouldn't be too out of my league?). I think it's worth doing, as I'll be saving nearly $100 ordering it from them. Can anyone speak for the brand, is it cheap for a reason?


 
2nd Edit:

Okay so a Denso O2 4 Wire O2 sensor has been ordered from FREEDOM *eagle screech*-land (USA), to which I'll have to crimp the OEM connecting plug onto. Decided to go Denso as Fuelmiser didn't seem like a quality brand, plus it turned out to be cheaper despite awful conversion rates + ridiculous shipping than ordering a sensor locally.
Along with that, I've also ordered a Bosch Distributor Cap GD921. That'll be a straight fit.

So keep your eyes peeled, cause in 2-3 weeks, I'll be making another thread about how my cheap eBay parts don't fit/car runs worse than before. Then, and only then, can you begin the "Amayama.com d*ckhead"/"I told you so" posts

I've been a mechanic for over a decade, there is no need at all to buy these parts genuine.
When you look back through the actual manufacturer of the parts,  %90 of the time OEM parts are manufactured by the same people that are selling them as aftermarket.  

Fuelmiser has been around for a long time, though you'd likely find their O2 sensors are just rebranded Bosch/NTK/Denso etc anyway.   Not that I've ever had a DOA O2 sensor, nor have I ever had to warrant a failed one.

It's not uncommon to have cut and crimp the original plug onto a new O2 sensor.  The other option is to buy suitable bosch EFI plug, and just change the plug on the harness side to suit.

You may possibly get a better fit with OEM leads, but in 15 years I've never had an issue with AM leads, aside from the really cheap ones you get 'off the rack' at auto stores,  If you stick with Bosch, Eagle, NGK, MSD etc and avoid Top Gun, you'll never have an issue.
