Why not just buy the CDM/USDM Altezza? Finding parts will be easier and you won't have to deal with the hassle of driving RHD in an LHD world. Granted, it will be hard to find a manual version (presumably what you want) with low KM that hasn't been Surrey-fied, but patience is a virtue.

Unless, of course, you want the lighter JDM version with the 3SGE. As that particular version of that engine was never offered in the US or Canada, finding parts will be somewhat challenging unless you know a Toyota parts guy who is a little more on the helpful side. I would recommend having another car as daily or at least a Compass card, because in some cases you will actually have to "over night parts from Japan" lol
