D only time I'll believe a car sales persons words bout any replacement is when he actually takes me to d place when d changes is made n I see it wit my own eyes.

Basically only d SR16DE's water pump is a bit harder to come by. D other parts r quite easy to source or just as reliable as Toyota's 4AGEs.

As for d reason theres more ppl putting black n siltertops in their everyday rides is typically b'coz there's more Corollas (AE92,EE/AE100 & AE/EE111) on d road now compared to Sentras (B13, B14 & Y10). Cost wise, both halfcuts costs about d same.
