Best to stick with Toyota for those parts - more expensive but you know they'll be good for 10+ years.

expect the best part of £200+ for those,

dizzy and rota is about £80-90, leads, around £130

the coil, who knows, but given the above prices, likely alot!

Check out this site for good prices on genuine parts (you'll need to know the part numbers). Delivery is from UAE or Japan so there'll be duty+VAT to add on but it's still worth it.

nice!! how are the NGK leads?? i've heard mixed reports on magnecores however, i ran a set on my rev2 for 5 years and never had any problems :(

my main reason for changing these parts is that the car drives like crap in the wet, the coil has been changed (although it was for another used onewhen the car suddenly died due to coil failure).

They seem ok, use the standard clip connection and have a limited lifetime warranty. They are a little shorter and you will have to loose the plastic tidy. Can get a photo if you want.

I also had the same thing with the coil. Went in the worst place possible!

it's cool man, i'll figure it out, i really just want to get the coil changed first to rule that out, the dizzy cap seems dry but water is deffo getting into the ignition somewhere :(

When I pulled mine out it was in a right state cracked all over the place.

That's the one I bought. Slightly more than I paid due to my trade account but still cheap.

ive only got blueprint dizzy and rotor once, but they seemed perfectly fine to me, couldnt tell the different to the oem ones which are X 3 the price.

leads i would always get from toyota.
however im sure rev2 tubby leads maybe cheaper than rev3, so you could use those as same size (just dont come with cover, but you can obviously reuse your cover)

coil, im sure a good secondhand unit would be fine.
