Reviews of AISIN parts For Business

I would highly recommend Aisin if you plan on keeping the car for a long time.
Should go with the Aisin everyone goes with that and have heard nothing but positive reviews
Use a good pump like a Aisin, cause you don’t want to do it again in a year.
Recently replaced my 2004 UL timing belt at 100k and it came out looking like new with no real evidence of wear. Worth doing though, for peace of mind. Highly recommend the Aisin kit.
It's a very easy thermostat to replace, I just did it a couple days ago on a 2008 Hyundai Sante Fe with the big 3.3l V6. The gasket comes with the OE Aisin thermostat, too, making it even easier.
When I bought Aisin water pumps for some of my other Toyota/Lexus vehicles, the embossed Toyota emblem on the pump would be ground off.
I did the oem supra clutch swap. It switches the flywheel to a solid non turbo 92-95 generation and a spring clutch disc. I used a factory flywheel and an aisin kit from a Supra. It will rev much quicker and all the parts will cost half of the stock flywheel alone.
The automatic 8-speed is an Aisin transmission (Toyota), and coming from a manual, I didn’t think I would like it - but it’s good and I do.
Top of the line Aisin timing belt / water pump / pulley's kit is $260 US right now.
