I finally got the parts for an overdue tune-up on my 1992 SC300. It currently has 138k miles and still running on original wires. The plugs were replaced last by the dealer at 70k miles. I acquired the following OEM toyota parts online and at the dealership
1. NGK Iridiums 15 bucks shipped. hooked up by fellow forum member
2. [Wires ($54), Cap ($10), Rotor ($3)] + 10 shipping = $78. Got it off a site; Genuine Toyota stuff
3. [2x Valve Cover Gasket ($14 each) + Grommets ($32)] - 10% discount = $68 @ North County Toyota in Anaheim
My mechanic is going to charge 180 even for labor to install all that. I hope it really makes a difference.

You probably already did the tuneup , but dont forget that if you are going to DIY you will need to drain some coolant . So you may want to just flush the cooling system too. you'll need some coolant regardless.
